"Come Away with Me" is the title track from Norah Jones's landmark 2001 debut album, featuring a guitar solo by Adam Levy. Jones composed this gentle ballad, which is performed at approximately 80 beats per minute in C with a ballad feel. Levy's electric guitar solo is understated and lyrical, perfectly suited to the song's intimate, late-night atmosphere. His clean, warm tone and spacious phrasing complement Jones's whispered vocal delivery, adding a moment of instrumental beauty without breaking the song's hushed spell. Levy, a New York-based guitarist and educator, brought a versatile musicality to the Come Away with Me sessions, his playing drawing on jazz harmony while remaining firmly in service to each song's emotional narrative. The title track became one of the album's signature moments, its simplicity and directness capturing the essence of Jones's artistic vision. The song's waltz-like sway and sparse arrangement create an atmosphere of intimate invitation, and Levy's solo extends that mood through his instrument. Jones wrote the song before the album sessions, and it became the thematic anchor for a record that would go on to become one of the best-selling albums of the 2000s. Producer Arif Mardin's decision to keep the arrangement minimal allows the beauty of Jones's melody and Levy's tasteful improvisation to shine without embellishment.
