    Norah Jones’s "Seven Years" was written by her then-boyfriend and bassist, Lee Alexander. He penned the sentimental, acoustic track after watching a home video of Jones dancing carefree as a child. Jones described it as a sweet sentiment about a child in her own world, happy and content. The song was featured on Jones’s breakthrough, Diamond-certified 2002 debut album, Come Away with Me. It highlights the album's signature confessional, folk-leaning approach, complete with soft acoustic and bluesy slide guitar work by Kevin Breit.

    Having trouble getting things published for some reason. I reached out to admin for help, so hopefully it will be resolved quickly.

    Marjolein, I am trying to find words to properly express how beautiful and your vocal track is on this song. You owned every expressive aspect of the lyrical story being told - listening to it I couldn't help but have an emotional reaction to it. It is just so well done - thank you. Between you and Yoshi, there is something magical going on with these Norah Jones songs - what a great musical experience to enjoy. I synced your track - spot on with your direction and will publish.

    Awh what a lovely comment, thank you so much!! These songs are close to my heart, so that is a bit different than a song you learn for someone else I guess :) It's great to sing these songs alongside you and Yoshi, it is my pleasure really!
