That plus reading Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein to my kids every night got me into a word maze and I wrote this poem. I liked it but doubted I would ever release a book of poems and started thinking how to turn it into a song. I edited it down quite a bit and sat with it and a very different kind of song emerged. I immediately thought of this string duo I saw to do an arrangement and I loved how it turned out as if they played the main role of the subject, or the \u2018loss\u2019.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Jones will be releasing her seventh studio album&nbsp;<em>Pick Me Up Off the Floor<\/em> on June 12th, and previously shared the lead single <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/norah-jones-new-album-jeff-tweedy-966645\/\">\u201cI\u2019m Alive,\u201d<\/a> a collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/wilco\/\">Wilco<\/a> frontman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/jeff-tweedy\/\">Jeff Tweedy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiving in this country \u2014 this world \u2014 the last few years, I think there\u2019s an underlying sense of, \u2018Lift me up. Let\u2019s get up out of this mess and try to figure some things out,\u2019\u201d she has said of the album\u2019s inspiration. \u201cIf there\u2019s a darkness to this album, it\u2019s not meant to be an impending sense of doom, if feels more like a human longing for connection. Some of the songs that are personal also apply to the larger issues we\u2019re all facing. And some of the songs that are about very specific larger things also feel quite personal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The project also features contributions from bassists Christopher Thomas, John Patitucci, Jesse Murphy, and Josh Lattanzi; drummers Nate Smith, Dan Rieser, and Josh Adams; keyboardist Pete Remm, pedal steel guitarist Dan Iead, violinist Mazz Swift, violist Ayane Kozasa, cellist Paul Wiancko, percussionist Mauro Refosco, background vocalists Ruby Amanfu and Sam Ashworth, trumpeter Dave Guy and tenor saxophonist Leon Michels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3> Popular on Rolling Stone <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/norah-jones-how-i-weep-983866\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Norah Jones has shared \u201cHow I Weep,\u201d the second single and opening track from her upcoming LP Pick Me Up Off the Floor.
