I believe, you say
Don't think, we'll stay
Drawn through the ebb
Lost in the flow

Beneath my breath, I confess
My world, loved less
The devil held the proof
For me to know

I could only fight
For the longest while
But with the truth out, baby
I belong to you

I stoop to find
My place, entwined
I took it to the bottom
One more time

I could only fight
For the longest while
But with the truth out, baby
I belong to you

I could trip and I want you to know
That every time I think
That I think I should go
I receive strange transmissions

I could trip and I want you to know
That every time I think
That I think I should go
I receive strange transmissions

I could only fight
For the longest while
But with the truth out, baby
I belong to you

I could trip and I want you to know
That every time I think
That I think I should go
I receive strange transmissions

I could trip and I want you to know
Every time I think
That I think I should go
I receive strange transmissions

If I was a song writer and needed a male and female singer I'd have Nora Jones and Eddy Vedder at he top of my list but than again I'm not.

In many interviews she rejected this collaboration and said she was unaware that Malick would use this sessions as there was no agreement to do this.

Norah Jones is a real talent. You may not like her music and that's fine. But don't put it on her. I don't care for Jack White, but I realize he has great talent. It sucks that I can't appreciate him more.

Are we listening to the same track?  However you'd classify this one, it's no Bonnie Raitt wanabee.

No doubt Norah Jones is talented.
But is she authentic or imitating? 
That question is always there when I hear her.

Yes, I do some pretty absorbing computer work myself, and I thought this stood out... The composition was excellent and her voice worked with it... made it better and more complete as a work. Upgraded it from 7 to 8 .

Honestly, I greatly prefer this over her solo stuff.  It's a lot more interesting in my opinion.  Her solo stuff is fine I guess, and every now and then something grabs me, but for the most part it all sounds the same to me.

I agree.  This is a fantastic album, I enjoy it much more then the Norah solo stuff.  Much more depth musically and not nearly as repetitive.

This is a great song.  Different to her solo stuff and equally brilliant but in a totally different way.  Very clever Ms. Jones and the Peter Malick Group.

Norah has one of those special voices, sometimes she is compromised by the recording companies and has to do more commercial stuff but no denying her talent

It seems a number of vocal RP listeners have a visceral reaction to NJ because she has been a commercial success lately, and they only wish to make allowances for mainstream artists who were successes before 1980. You'll note the same trend with Dave Mathews, Eddie Vedder, Coldplay, and others. Bill does a great job of highlighting lesser-known works by mainstream artists while avoiding the commercial chaff.
Spot on! This is the sad truth. Globally recognized bands like Pink Floyd always seem to get the benefit of the doubt and are touted as "genius", but recent successes are thrown to the wolves because they're too mainstream. DMB is mainstream, but that doesn't mean they aren't as talented. I pride myself on an eclectic playlist, mostly thanks to the teachings of RP, but I also have a place in my heart for masterwork which has come in the last ten years.

This cd is really an EP, and Malick recorded Norah before she hit big. I like the garage-y sound and Jones's more gritty sound on some of the cuts. She's got the stuff to be around for a good, long time. If you like "Strange Transmissions," cowboy up and get the cd! If you're looking for "Come Away With Me, Part II," though, this isnt' it.
