Don't Know Why

The REAL "Don't Know Why" by Norah Jones.

很喜歡她的歌，特別是這一首，也是少數從台灣到現在都還留在我電腦裡的歌曲之一。還記得當時在台灣不知為甚麼諾拉瓊絲忽然爆紅起來，每天電視上都是她的唱片廣告，不過我是在熱潮之後才聽到這首歌。

"Don't Know Why" is a song written by Jesse Harris and originally appears on his 1999 album, Jesse Harris & the Ferdinandos. It was the second single by Blue Note artist Norah Jones from her breakthrough 2002 album Come Away with Me. Although Jones's version only peaked at number thirty on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, it was a critical success for her that helped established her as a respected new artist, and subsequently her album sold extremely well. The single went on to win three Grammy Awards in 2003 for "Record of the Year", "Song of the Year", and "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance".

MV 版本


下面兩段影片是 live version，都很棒，不過我比較喜歡 BBC 那場。在疲累一身回到家後的夜晚聽一曲彷彿也卸下了倦乏的感覺般，從心裡被撫過那樣地舒服。

Don't Know Why

I waited 'til I saw the sun \ I don't know why I didn't come \ I left you by the house of fun \ I don't know why I didn't come \ I don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day \ I wished that I could fly away \ Instead of kneeling in the sand \ Catching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine \ But you'll be on my mind \ Forever

Out across the endless sea \ I would die in ecstasy \ But I'll be a bag of bones \ Driving down the road along

My heart is drenched in wine \ But you'll be on my mind \ Forever

Something has to make you run \ I don't know why I didn't come \ I feel as empty as a drum \ I don't know why I didn't come \ I don't know why I didn't come \ I don't know why I didn't come
