Why isn't Nicole Atkins not a SUPERSTAR ?????????!!!!!!! A magical, powerful, sensual real voice unlike all the auto-tune robots out there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard and saw Ms. Nicole Atkins perform this song on David Letterman. Never knew of her prior. That Letterman performance was life changing to me Plus if you were familiar with Letterman I could watch on repeat not just the performance but how utterly taken Mr. Letterman was by it all. When I got married THIS was the song I walked down my aisle playing with a 9 piece orchestra. If I could have I would have hired Ms. Atkins to sing her song live as I walked down the aisle. As an Orthodox Jewess it's practically unheard of to walk down a wedding aisle to "English" music. When I requested the song by my wedding band they told me they've never heard of it and would see of they could do it. The arrangement is not a simple one. They did it and while I and my mom may have been the only ones who knew the song ; 14 years later I have tears in my eye and the hairs on the back of my neck still stand up. NICOLE is a superstar in my book. Thank you!
I saw her on Letterman years ago and thought by now she would be a world hit in any and every country!!! I'm so glad that at least she's here and still going!! I'm 73 and have always been a big music fan and she's the best!' Keep going Nicole!!❤️❤️
I was settling in on a cross-country redeye when I half-asleep heard her belting this out on one of those inflight music playlists. And then I spent the remainder of the flight replaying the playlist just to hear this song again. Felt like death the next day but it was worth it!
i went a decade without hearing this song, but it always remained in my brain til I finally rediscovered it after remembering only a snippet. So happy. i miss you, dena.
Anybody who thinks Christina Aguilera has the best pipes of her generation is just nuts, as this song proves. She might have the greatest melismatic ability of her generation, but Nicole blows her out of the water for sheer vocal power/beauty. I mean this is just a flat out gorgeous and vocally powerful song.
I saw her perform at a small venue in Santa Fe last night and she and her band were absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! Her music definitely mirrors that of Roy Orbison (whom she is a huge fan of) and she sings with the same kind of power and intensity and energy as a young Patti Smith and Joan Baez. Not to mention she's unbelievably beautiful!! She deserves tons of success and more. I wish her and her band all the best! Matt- NM
...and, as I sit here, sipping a frosted mug of Schlitz, I've realized that this song would make my desert island list....although hearing this on a desert island, would make me burst into tears, tearing off what's left of my clothes, longing to be stateside once more. What I mean is this: Nicole Atkins is kick-ass. That's the way it is.
right on Michael baby! I got the lovely chance to see her in 2007-9 ??? don't remember at THE DELANCEY. She was doing a free show. She used to work there. Frankie made sure I got in. I got to talking to her- she was very nice to do a free show at her ole stomping grounds. Now, today, 9/5/19 - I revisited Neptune City, and blasted myself in the car and at home...........and THAT'S THE WAY IT IS!
Taylor Swift will never write a song that moves me this much. Such an amazing, underrated talent. I've been on board since the beginning. I was lucky to meet you at ACL about 15 years ago, Nicole, and you couldn't have been nicer. Your music remains as strong as ever. Much ❤ to you!
I'll give your question a try. She doesn't use at least 2 of the following:A senselessly popular D.J., a rapper, a synthesizer, team of songwriters, loops, autotune, this week's hot producer. Let's just keep adoring Nicole and have that grin on our face cause we're in on some secret that most people aren't.
Beautiful voice. Heard her open for the Avett Brothers at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Pouring rain the whole time.
what's not to like about her and her music? she embodies it all. refreshing presence. not like all the present techno designed music now where everybody sounds the same. luv ya. never stop singing. you keep my musical hunger fed.
I love, Love, LOVE her style, both physically and musically. She's sooo full of natural talent, it just amazes me that she isn't soo much more widely known.
I've seen Nicole perform several times over the years, the last being at 'The Sebright Arms' in London & if you get the chance she's nice to chat to as well, she really is the Best.
This girl just blows me away!!! I'm old school - pre MTV. I think music videos ruined the musicality of much of the music since then.. However, I love her videos! They are refreshing to me. They are creative. I also love her songs, her voice and her presentation!
The celloid imagery in one's mind of those we love, past moments lived and experienced presently, anchors in our consciousness against the uncertainty of the future.
Don't tell me My love's not the one that I want That he's not the one that I need I'd rather find out for myself You're the one Who shakes at the touch of my hand but can't decide where he should stand If I was smart I'd never call you, call you ever again Oh, in my ears my blood is just roaring when he's the only one I've ever wanted I suppose that's just the way it is Just think this could be The last time I hold you, hold you ever again Oh, I don't think I'll ever sleep till morning Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted Oh, and in my ears my blood is just roaring Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted I suppose that's just the way it is.
i will never have a woman sing and write a song about me like this woman did for some man who she loved or loves...i really don't know how to feel about that
Why isn't Nicole Atkins not a SUPERSTAR ?????????!!!!!!! A magical, powerful, sensual real voice unlike all the auto-tune robots out there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly. How does she not have like 12 Grammys?????

Why in the world isn't she more famous? Gifted beautiful thing.
Such an underrated song.

You have a superb ear, Nicole is awesome.
I saw that too! First time I ever saw her. WOW!
Same! And same sentiments. First saw her on Letterman.😊🙏💕
Best alto singer I've ever heard. I love her!
i went a decade without hearing this song, but it always remained in my brain til I finally rediscovered it after remembering only a snippet. So happy. i miss you, dena.
I love the work of Nicole. Her ability to sing with so many melodic twists is what draws me to her music.
Damn, she has such a strong voice. Why isn't this beauty known world wide???
Vote for Nicole ruler of the airwaves.................... and beyond.
Anybody who thinks Christina Aguilera has the best pipes of her generation is just nuts, as this song proves. She might have the greatest melismatic ability of her generation, but Nicole blows her out of the water for sheer vocal power/beauty.

I picked this CD up at an XPonential Music Festival back when it was new... still love it :)
I saw her perform at a small venue in Santa Fe last night and she and her band were absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!!

Matt- NM
is it only me that finds this song perfectly magic in its melancholy?
This never gets old, I love singing her songs!
Saw her opening for Nick Cave over the weekend. Just simply brilliant.
Love those two together!

One of New Jersey's best attractions! Go Nicole!
Great, great song. Ms. Atkins REALLY knows how to write SONGS... and how to SING them. Best legs and best eyes in the business, too.
The power in that voice! Great, atmospheric video. What a talented singer. Emotional.

Still does it for me!
This song is amazing! I think she deserves much more success!

One of the best songs of all time, simply magic 💫💫💫
Beautiful voice. Heard her open for the Avett Brothers at Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Pouring rain the whole time.
She is incredible live!! I hope I can start seeing her regularly. :)
what's not to like about her and her music? she embodies it all. refreshing presence. not like all the present techno designed music now where everybody sounds the same. luv ya. never stop singing. you keep my musical hunger fed.
I love the editing with the shake on the high notes, Its like a punch in the gut. Powerful.
i still love this song, heard it for the first time on the jules holland show and follow her from then on.
girl you are super.
😀❤😀👽
in the ocean of today's recycled songs and tunes, this one stands out as a masterpiece ! I keep listening to it for years!
Same here, i keep coming back to it after all these years.
Incredible Voice Nicole. Love the deep & honest emotion. Would be awesome to see you live.
Wow ! this will be my new favourite to belt out in the car. Gorgeous.
Can;t wait for the album to drop on 1/25!
I love, Love, LOVE her style, both physically and musically. She's sooo full of natural talent, it just amazes me that she isn't soo much more widely known.
Stunning voice, melodic, rich, and deep.
I love you, Nicole! I hope your next album creates the publicity that you need for your career to soar as high and pretty as your voice.
Great big smokey voice. Love it.
Great Scott! Incredible pipes, and it sure don't hurt that she's a hottie. the Radman
i love your voice and style, the ache is surreal...thank you for your music, nicole
Thank you for this beautiful piece of music Nicole.
One of my favourite tracks ever - just wonderful - you folks who've seen her live are lucky indeed - adorablegs is right, gifted and beautiful.....
can't wait for her new album!!
this song and video are amazing!
one of the most unique, spellbinding, mesmerizing, awe inspiring voices that I've ever heard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've seen Nicole perform several times over the years, the last being at 'The Sebright Arms' in London & if you get the chance she's nice to chat to as well, she really is the Best.
This girl just blows me away!!! I'm old school - pre MTV. I think music videos ruined the musicality of much of the music since then.. However, I love her videos! They are refreshing to me. They are creative. I also love her songs, her voice and her presentation!
Amazing voice - you can hear the emotion in her delivery. Anyone who is crazy for someone they can't have will relate.
you can feel the pain and frustration love this song on an apathetic day it revives passion
I was introduced to her live not 8 hours ago! She's currently an opening act for EELS.
The celloid imagery in one's mind of those we love, past moments lived and experienced presently, anchors in our consciousness against the uncertainty of the future.
Nicole rocks
STUNNING
I saw her at The Hollywood Palladium in September, before the Black Keys came out Her voice is so intense. So impressive!
I heard you belting tracks from Neptune City ten years ago opening for the Avett Brothers at the Barrymore. Good stuff!
Must have been the same tour - I saw her at Lizard Lounge in Lancaster, PA. She stole it.
love this song!! saw her in concert last year and she was amazing :D!
Don't tell me
My love's not the one that I want
That he's not the one that I need
I'd rather
find out for myself
You're the one
Who shakes at the touch of my hand
but can't decide where he should stand
If I was smart
I'd never call you, call you
ever again
Oh, in my ears
my blood is just roaring
when he's the only one I've ever wanted
I suppose that's just the way it is
Just think this could be
The last time I hold you, hold you
ever again
Oh, I don't think I'll ever sleep till
morning
Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted
Oh, and in my ears
my blood is just roaring
Coz he's the only one I've ever wanted
I suppose that's just the way it is.
it's so good to hear such a nice voice like that ^^
As an oldie I think she s from my era. Great pipes!
simply perfect
so in love with this song....
she is awesome !!!!!
Sometimes his voice has a touch similar to the voice of Edith Piaf, this woman is beautiful and his voice is even more.
ieri sera lo ho ascoltata per radio gelosa di castelfranco veneto-treviso. bellissima. la nicole ha un nonno siciliano
I want cry but it's just for the feeling that she put when her sing
