Norah Jones, nacida Geetali Norah Shankar Jones el 30 de marzo de 1979 en Brooklyn, Nueva York, creció en una amalgama de culturas y sonidos. Hija del legendario sitarista Ravi Shankar y de la productora de conciertos Sue Jones, Norah tuvo una infancia marcada por la música y la exploración artística.
A medida que crecía, su talento natural se hizo evidente. Estudió en la Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts en Dallas, Texas, donde empezó a brillar en el coro de la escuela. Fue aquí donde su amor por el jazz explotó, alimentado por la influencia de artistas icónicos como Billie Holiday y Etta James.
Después de mudarse a Nueva York para asistir a la universidad, Norah comenzó a tocar en clubes y pequeños locales. Firmó con Blue Note Records, un sello discográfico especializado en jazz, y en 2002 lanzó su álbum debut, "Come Away With Me". Este trabajo cambió su vida y la catapultó a la fama internacional.
El álbum combinaba elementos de jazz, pop y folk, y fue recibido con aplausos por la crítica y el público. Particularmente, la canción "Don't Know Why" se convirtió en un éxito instantáneo. La combinación única de su voz suave y su habilidad para el piano creó un sonido irresistible. En 2003, Norah cosechó un impresionante total de ocho premios Grammy con este álbum, incluyendo el de Mejor Nuevo Artista y Álbum

That’s What I Said
I'm going down south
Won't be misquoted in my own bed
That's what I said, that's what I said
You missed the loophole in my head
That's what I said, that's what I said
That's what I said, that's what I said
If a nice girl sings about heart attacks
Will people listen or turn their backs?
Cause sugar coating is bitter sweet
Do people just want to move their feet?
Puffy clouds or puffy eyes
Don't know which will make me wise
Ridiculously analyzed
And they move slow, that's no surprise
That's what I said, that's what I said
That's what I said, that's what I said
Now everyday you pack a bow
Think about the words you know
Drag good people into holes
Your expertise runs very low
Critically you ridicule
One who'd kick your ass in pool
But technically you're just a tool
You'd point out things like your own school
That's what I said, that's what I said
Here we go, here we go, here we go right now
Have a daisy, have a rose
You dignifiedly pick your nose
Then wipe it on the girls whose pose
You'd like to hose and expose
Long and lazy, tough and lean
They call you out as the king of mean
You bite the hand of the too serene
I'll bet the king of mean's no sex machine
Typically you're topical
You like the dance of push and pull
You think that everyone's a fool
But you're bananas and a bully
That's what I said, that's what I said
That's what I said, that's what I said
That's what I said, that's what I said
That's what I said, that's what I said
If you don't care 'bout what I said
You don't care 'bout what's in my head
You think I might as well be dead
Then how'd we end up back in bed
