This isn't just a cover. This is therapy
-
To be Norah, playing the Fox Theater in Detroit, five whole days after Chris passed.. I think that was an immense kindness, and it was an incredible treatment of the song. Thanks, Norah. This meant a lot.
-
As Chris's Lighting Designer, having done hundreds of shows around the world with him, I find this to be an incredibly brilliant and moving tribute. Thank you for handling this with such care. Lets remember to keep raising awareness about human trafficking. It was Chris's most important mission. He gave EVERYTHING to try to stop it.

"No one sings like you anymore"
Gets me every time. -
Can we just take a second to quietly thank every musician that pours their heart into a song.
-
Played in the same theatre as he performed his last note five days prior. No words.
-
I just found this today. I can not thank you enough. You make the world a much better place.
-
Beautiful! It's 2024 and I'm here for this. RIP Chris ~ miss you dearly
-
I just found this tonight and watched it ten times. Then I wiped the tears. Hauntingly beautiful, and a lovely tribute. We miss you Chris.

It’s not just Nora’s voice, but a beautifully sculpted musical piano interpretation - brings a deep deep melancholy
-
At least once a week I have to come back here...
-
5 days after his passing, and Norah puts this out there to the world... that blows my mind. Some people were put on this earth to do certain things, and I am grateful that Norah knew she was put here to make music. An absolutely beautiful talent. I don't think a better cover of this song exists.

Nora happened to be playing the Fox Theater in Detroit about a week after Chris Cornell gave his last performance on the same stage, and she performed this song in his honor. A hauntingly beautiful tribute.
-
Norah Jones makes you feel like she’s singing only for you. Every song she plays sounds honest and real. She honors a unique man and band with this reimagining of one of my favorite songs.
-
As a huge Norah AND Chris fan I can't believe this is my first time watching this. Absolutely mesmerizing
-
The silence of that audience during that incredibly heartfelt performance is something you don't hear, but that you only hear when they make their presence known again. A testament to that special, specific moment. Lovely.
-
This leaves you stunned, numb. The re-harmonization she did, the push-pull rhythm, dark, hopeful, so sad. Norah is supremely talented.
-
The best 'Black hole sun' cover ever. Period.
-
So much tension in this version. Like just waiting for a loud guitar, a bass, and some drums to kick in and Chris's voice joining in. It's unfortunate that we'll never get to hear his voice again, but this is as beautiful of a tribute as anyone could have ever done. Thank you, Nora.

I never really gave Norah Jones much thought. I never hated her, just thought she was “meh” as an artist. But after she did this, I got it. Chills in my spine, weak in the knees, and goosebumps covering everywhere. Truly an incredible cover. So much beauty and sadness, and passion in this.
I had the honor of meeting Mr. Cornell once. Truly one of the most real people I have ever met. I know he would have loved this cover. Thank you Norah.
