Come Away with Me
First released in 2002
About the song
“Come Away with Me” appeared as the title track of Norah Jones’s 2002 debut album. A gently swaying accompaniment supports a close vocal, making the invitation at the center of the song feel personal and quietly sustained.
Sound and arrangement
The arrangement draws together jazz, country and pop colors without sharply separating them. Instruments enter with restraint, leaving the melody and Jones’s subtle changes of emphasis in the foreground.
Listening closely
Listen to the space around the ends of the sung phrases. The recording allows notes and instrumental responses to settle naturally, giving its small-scale performance a particularly open and patient character.
