    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!

    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!

    ...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.

    • @Themin1

      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.

    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!

    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.
