- “Come Away With Me” (Come Away With Me, 2002) No Jones song is as languorous, as beatlessly mesmeric, as the title track to Come Away With Me. Any other artist would have taken this lover’s invitation and made it embarrassing: add strings, a choir of angels, bad poetry.
- “Don’t Know Why” (Come Away With Me, 2002) Jones’ calling-card wasn’t an original, but by singer-songwriter Jesse Harris, who stepped up to play acoustic guitar on the single.
- “Sunrise” (Feels Like Home, 2004) The opening track to Feels Like Home doesn’t exactly play — it wafts in through a cracked window. The rhythm section is a rickety creak of a porch, while Jones’ sparse piano notes peek through like a sunbeam on a shag carpet.
- “Nightingale” (Come Away With Me, 2002) The lone solo writing credit on Come Away With Me is one of its most simple, sweet and luminous, not much more than the feathery strains of Adam Levy’s Travis-picked acoustic guitar.
