General Comment Of all the crap that has come out recently, nothing has triggered my interest so I listen to the older non-aggressive, sometimes male hating, overtly female, non-mainstrem music. I had read and article on new artists one of the artists was Norah Jones but dismissed them and a crop of new and uneventful crap.

One night, I was idly watching network television, as I often do on lonely and boring week nights and I heard this song, a beautiful song. I literally hopped up out of my seat and screamed "i have to get this cd. I have since bought the Cd and I now have my whole family listening to her. Hell, if you like her you might want to check out Diana Krall.

Jazz is a truly lovely genre of music. I sound like such a nerd, but I likes good music. General Comment Like Nightingale, I believe the song is about loss of love. When I analyze the lyrics, I find I think the song has to do with a lover who is permanently to another country, far across the sea. She says she "didn't know why she didn't come" to say goodbye to him and see him off. Why would she wait until the dawn? Perhaps because she then knew dawn was about the time her lover's flight left and at that point she knows he'll forever be off on a different path that will not return to her.

She says if she was on the other side of the ocean, with him, she could be happy, but instead she predicts a destiny of being old and alone. I think the lyric of "I left you at the house of fun" means that her lover was having a going away party and at some point she couldn't take it and had to leave.

And I think most of the lyrics is the story told after the long night at the beach. When she's still thinking of him and drinking in her misery. I'm not quite sure of the lyric "Something has to make you run" I think perhaps it could me that she didn't know what made her leave the party so abruptly, but it also could mean that she is aware that something is making her lover want to leave where he is for somewhere new. I like the analogy that she is an empty drum, with some sort of beating of her heart to keep her alive, but essentially, she's empty inside.

All in all, these poignant lyrics in contrast with such a sweetly composed song instead of mopey dramatacism make for a very touching and beautiful song.

My Interpretation First of all, I'm a sex therapist; that's likely colouring my view here. To me, it's got a double meaning. On the one hand, she's allowed her fear, insecurity, possibly even self-loathing to walk away from a relationship with a man she truly and deeply loved. On the other, she may be anorgasmic: meaning, unable to experience orgasm - either in sexual intercourse, or period.

It often results from trauma of some kind; can certainly make one fearful and insecure. Usually difficulties with intimacy, commitment, and fears of abandonment and betrayal. Women affected with the condition have low self esteem, tend to have broken relationships, and feel 'apart' from the rest of sex-loving society. It's perplexing, too. Most of the time they flat out find themselves chanting Norah's refrain, as their lover stares bewildered: 'I don't know why I didn't come.

If unlikely. She could've gone with 'I don't know why I didn't show. Either way, beautiful, poignant song. DOES seem to carry an echo of such a woman's lament, though. It really does. General Comment Norah Jones struggles with a man who is not able to bring her to orgasm.

She is so sad that she has to drink enough to forget this horrible experience or it may haunt her forever. I'll let you figure out the rest. Dontknowwhy on October 04, Link. Dontknowwhy Excellent rhetorical analysis. I must say I concur. Dontknowwhy This is doubtful considering the song was written by a guy named Jessie Harris who didn't have Norah Jones in mind when he wrote it. It's a nice idea but I think your imagination is running a little wild.

General Comment I don't know about you, but this has to be my favorite from Norah Jones. It has a very sullen tone to it. I feel very low listening to "Don't Know Why. I think this is a song about a lost of a lover due to some situation that is making her choose. Roles Valentine's Day film. The Lorax film. Coolest musical instrument ever Fan survey Waving cats.
