Norah Jones Live-I Think It's Going To Rain Today

Norah performing a Randy Newman composition.

[@JimHudson-kx6vl]

Randy's chords just set the scene beautifully. I like the little changes Norah puts in. This song fits her like a glove. Beautiful.

[@murph3001]

Sadly this song has more relevance now than when it was written years ago. We have deteriorated so much in our relationships ____ it's hard to believe .

[@ChuckHackney]

There is another song, different tune but same sentiment, yet beautiful and melancholy, too. I think a Bacharach/David composition called The Windows of the World (I think it's going to rain today). Dionne Warwick sings a wonderful version. Neil Diamond does my fave cover of this gorgeous, sad song.

[@uncleflembo8255]

This Rendition of this song is the best I've heard. Period.

[@melodysierra4141]

Yeah. That was incredible. I don't even think anyone who's done a version of this song, themselves, would disagree with that.

[@JohnBGood-ry9wj]

Norah’s voice is timeless, it can’t be pinned down to a certain time period, it just is

[@user-gw5vz5sk2f]

This beautiful women is praying for a better world with this song. We all got to try to see a little bit of light in these dark times. And try to shine, unless all. Peace for everyone.

[@allegedactor126]

It makes me weep like a goddamn child. Every single time. Damn/Bless you Randy and Norah.

[@funkyfreshtx]

I just heard Randy’s version on “Designated Survivor”. Had never heard it and I listen to a TON of music. What a beautiful song and message.

[@cvcoco]

ditto for me! DS wasnt even finished and I was already googling the song. Now after hearing this version i do remember it. Been long time. Great song.

[@coffeync]

Ever heard Newman's "Cowboy"?

[@josefuentes9888]

Randy is such an underrated songwriter

[@Marochka]

I hate it when my throat aches from tears. I love this rendition. She's one of my favorite female artists. Good on ye, Norah.

[@gordonschnurr5574]

From the greatest minstrel of our time. Nora has taken Randy's words and music and set a new bar so high, that even the master, himself, smiles.

[@StudlyStudmuffin]

Randy Newman, ladies and gentalmen. a round of applause

[@coffeync]

Remember "Davy, The Fat Boy" ?

[@ellenrudolph267]

One of the best covers of this song. I felt her.

[@Torbert1001]

Dont listen to this in the quiet of the late night by yourself, you might feel overwhelmed by it - or maybe...thats just how it should be listened to :-)

[@JJJZANESVILLE2]

too late

[@Bamaboompa]

2:28 a.m. Headphones on.

[@drdavid1963]

I'm doing it right now. Yes it's bleak but the chords are so beautiful, to me it's a great listening experience. She could be singing about anything really.

[@chuckrosener6501]

Yeah man

[@amandaherlihy1196]

Sister died 😢 so yes x

[@Gordman]

Absolutely Stunning, Norah does it brilliantly!

[@colsomemiah6095]

Her tender voice as if thinking aloud lends itself to this melancholy song , the way you feel when you think it's gonna rain on your life.

[@blackpoolram]

Wow! What a spiritually moving performance. The visuals well selected too.

[@JLThisisMe]

This is one of the saddest and most evocative songs I know of. Covered by many, some better than others. This graphics montage captures the mood of the song so well I was transfixed. Not an easy thing to do with such a powerful composition. You have my admiration.

[@brianmurphy5036]

Do you think this song is about betrayal by friend/loved one? The bridge, unexpectedly, says, "Lonely, lonely , Tin can at my feet, Think I'll kick it down the street, That's the way to treat a friend." The narrator was betrayed, it seems, and this song is coping with the betrayal.

[@JLThisisMe]

@@brianmurphy5036 I think you've got it about exactly right.

[@christopherheinig167]

There are many beautiful versions of this great song, a great artist interpreting can't fail

[@thQueenQEH]

Best rendition yet. Could listen to this all day. Thanks

[@barrycowan3540]

So beautiful! Voice and piano phrasing, the emotion, sweet, sad, and so moving.

[@hallasun2406]

Beautifully put together as well as beautiful rendition of the song. The photos are amazing too.

[@gregt4202]

Bette Midler did a great version in Beaches. I love Randy Newman's version..the original artist is always hard to beat. But Norah Jones makes my heart bleed.

[@Aththadha]

Wow... didn't know that. Wanna watch Beaches, thanks for that.

[@CAMROSS67]

Neil Diamond’s rendition is a masterpiece.

[@rhondaquigley6332]

One of my favourite films ☺️

[@johnboys4697]

Greg T 🙄🙄🙄

[@arthurjames5098]

This is totally sublime sung with great feeling

[@Fox1nDen]

it did rain today, very gently as we walked 2.5 miles through our community and along the lovely wild urban trail to raise money for LWML. There was much actual human kindness involved, not ironic like in the song. Good to see you out there, friends. Thanks for including me. Who sings lonely more convincingly than Norah?

[@deegreen7868]

I just heard this on The Good Wife. I had never heard it before. Love it!

[@stcurlysue]

Me too! Love it!

[@tacildaaquino4620]

Dee Green You can hear it in Beaches Soundtrack, A film with Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey, sung by Bette Midler.

[@robertaxel]

+shag willoby I never heard the Joe Cocker version... I knew it through Judy Collins..

[@gordoswife]

It was written by Randy Newman.

[@alimorphy5644]

Ummm no. It's Claudine Longette

[@beverlydwyer5162]

Beautiful , heart felt...❤️

[@GrtSatan]

Tremendously moving; every bit as sincere and genuine as the Randy Newman original. IGood on ya Nora.

[@12string]

Awesome job and I love this song so much.

[@gabrielcaron9436]

What a beautiful song.

[@vanillaskie8505]

I love the emotions stirred by this song. My favorite version will always be Bette Midler but this is fabulous!

[@leemuhl831]

unbelievably beautiful, stunning, soulful, moving, what we should we be paying attention to instead of the daily US media that only wants to sell us ads.

[@Tearloch]

A wonderful montage and a beautiful song done to perfection by a true artist .. thank you, jimbosity007

[@jimbosity007]

My pleasure Tearloch

[@radkid06]

Whoa, first I've heard of this one...she's brilliant.

[@TS-hn2us]

I too just heard this on The Good Wife and had to look it up...WHAT an amazing song!! Sublime and surreal

[@marvinomarmenjivaralvarez2086]

Tbiz s lolol same her. Just watched the deconstruction and loved the song.

[@salutaryneglectful]

Tbiz s Me too. Had heard Bette Midler's version from "Beaches" but this was great.

[@Eduardo27826]

For me, this is the definitive version of the song.

[@kirilbadalanov4114]

I only got here after asking Google if it's going to rain in the city I live in. No regrets

[@vincenthunter1615]

Brooke Smith don't forget Randy Newman's incredibly emotional version too.

[@Stellaphina]

Vincent Hunter, Randy Newman wrote the original!

[@marikruger]

Haha, same here. Must be one of Google 's favourite songs.

[@crash320]

LOL

[@MichaelEliopoulos]

HAHAHAHHAAA! Beast. Awesome.

[@mtchair4me]

Beautiful performance.

Moves me to tears

[@scarletapril12]

Lovely Randy Newman tune with powerful photographic images.

[@jimbosity007]

Happy you enjoyed it

[@kidmohair8151]

just what I needed

[@vicdasilva2664]

Broken windows and empty hallways A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles With frozen smiles to chase love away Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today Lonely, lonely Tin can at my feet Think I'll kick it down the street That's the way to treat a friend Bright before me the signs implore me To help the needy and show them the way Human kindness is overflowing And I think it's going to rain today

[@jessicairwin2377]

wonderful, i loved it after Randy and UB40...

[@ishallnotfall79]

Norah Jones's beautifully great

[@jonnyd1928]

A beautiful song sung beautifully.

[@rdalin]

My favorite version of this is by the late Tony Rice, but Norah's is also really excellent.

[@freehongseonghan]

뛰어난 감성과 보컬의 노래가 심장을 파고듭니다.

[@willash8833]

Cách hát của Phúc hiện đại, tinh tế và mang hơi hướng Kpop nhưng lại rất ấm áp, dịu dàng...1 ca khúc tuyệt vời ❤

[@MrANDYGEEZER]

So many versions of my first heard tune by UB40 but some OK, some great & some just pure magic

[@myqueen3239]

there is a song for everything in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeffreykessler2276]

Once again, kudos to Randy Newman, for being one of the greatest song writers of our time. There are several GREAT versions of this song, including Judy Collins, Gabriel, this one, and several others. But someone has to WRITE this great a song.

[@lyallg8112]

Neil Diamond does a beautiful cover too.

[@FranciscoFerrerGaliana1930]

PRECIOSA CANCION

[@SueJacobsFeingold]

Great rendition!

[@nwadoug]

WOW, amazing

[@ullanielsengade]

So beautiful song.

[@tomschwartz1646]

written in the '60's by Randy Newman. many artists recorded this.

[@StudlyStudmuffin]

Beautifully said.

Thank you !

The best version of a powerful song. (my opinion)

[@muddybanjo]

Love it

[@johne0408]

Have you ever heard David Gray's version? I have to say his is my favorite. Norah Jones and David Gray are my favorite female and male singers respectively, so it's a tough call.

[@gracehowell8229]

Broken windows and empty hallways, A pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey. Human kindness is overflowing, And I think it's gonna rain today. Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles, The frozen smiles to chase love away. Human kindness is overflowing, And I think it's gonna rain today. Lonely, lonely. Tin can at my feet, I think I'll kick it down the street. That's the way to treat a friend. Bright before me the signs implore me: Help the needy and show them the way. Human kindness is overflowing, And I think it's gonna rain today. Lonely, so lonely. Tin can at my feet, I think I'll kick it down the street. That's the way to treat a friend. Bright before me the signs implore me: Help the needy and show them the way. Human kindness is overflowing, And I think it's gonna rain today.

[@rbraibish]

These lyrics are from the Bette Midler rendition of the song (repeated verse). I have been listening to multiple versions, having recently learned the history of this song, and recognized her cover just by the repeated verse and the added word "so" between "lonely...lonely " which is not in the original lyrics by Newman.

[@kennethferrari5232]

Amazing

[@jordan390a]

Memories of Tom Northcott back in the 60's in coffeehouses around Vancouver and the Island...! Check out his version...!!!

[@barryparsons2660]

This is way the song was meant to be performed. It couldn't be done any better.

[@arnoldpiotrwatruch4983]

cudowne ... dziękuję -...

[@larrybarnes3846]

Jones adds exceptionally surprising gospel emotion to Newman's poignant directness.

[@lonnellmckenzie7561]

Im floored!

[@tmouser39]

Perfect

[@brianfitzpatrick5077]

I think it's going to rain today. Randy Newman can write a song.

[@gracemarie4304]

+Brian Fitzpatrick, yes. Thanks for reminding us who wrote it.

[@EllisGeiger]

Neil Diamond does a beautiful version

[@Elize6161]

I experienced something today, by a beautiful young lady today, that showed kindness to me, the story is bit long, God bless her beautiful heart

Mmm sweet sounds of my new song to sing.. ♥

Great rendition! I also am moved by Bette Midler's version. She recorded it for the movie Beaches.

[@Silvitilla]

Con una mano tendida siempre,tu sabes a quien

[@peternalbandian5390]

A fine bluesy version of the song.

[@rmtl3140]

Great version. I think Neil Diamond's version is haunting.

[@lauramitchell6725]

So is Judy Collins’s version.😔

[@anthonyparise8460]

I love this but I also love Joe Cockers version. Upbeat and strong

Anybody heard the Kenny Burrell version?

[@yossarean]

Yikers - she really knows how to suck all the emotion out of a classic.

[@williamspray1209]

Anyone know anything about the picture that comes up at 55 seconds? This is such a powerful picture. I want to know who took it and who the man is. Touches my soul.

[@michaelfebbert737]

Most people fail to understand the irony in this song They take it literally That is a mistake It's about our approach to the poor which Is condescending at best! The conversation in the song is between two homeless people who are tired of those who would set them straight: Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles! Human kindness is overflowing because it's not! That is irony And that is why the homeless response is a non sequitur I think it's going to rain today In other words, nothing changes, life goes on the same

[@barrymcdonald4289]

Tom Northcott also did a fabulous version

[@gregparry5632]

Sorry, Norah but Randy Newman OWNS this treasure!!!!
