Grammy Award winner Norah Jones makes her film acting debut in 'My Blueberry Nights'
My Blueberry Nights is a romantic road film, with a young woman making a soul-searching trip across America. Wong Kar Wai’s debut English language feature had him travelling across the U.S scouting for locations and he settled on New York City, parts of Nevada and Los Angeles and Mephis, Tenn. for the film.
The song playing during the trailer (YouTube below) is Cat Power whom for performance Variety Magazine has reffered to as 'Celine Dion-esque in its professionalism'
Cat Power was actually recommended by Norah for the film as the director is known for "meticulously selecting the songs on his soundtracks and using popular music as a major underlining motif."
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust
For the later parade

Cat also sings a cover of Rolling Stones 'Satisfaction' so well she gets Mick Jagger jealous..
Cat Power (aka Chan pronounced "Shan" Marshall)..fills auditoriums from San Francisco to Paris, and she's sold nearly 200,000 copies of her last two albums alone.
Her celebrity fanbase includes Dave Grohl and, reportedly, Sir Elton John.
"Cat Power attracts the type of devotees who feel they know Marshall personally. Fan letters credit her with forestalling suicides, and she has at least one stalker in France, where she's appeared on national television and on the cover of a major music magazine alongside Fiona Apple. ("She kept saying she had a gift from God, and I kept looking at her, thinking, 'You are fucked-up,'" Marshall says.) " - Spin Magazine, Feb//2001 Year of the Cat
In the YouTube video below, a clip from the movie in which she has small part and get to act, her song is playing in the background as well but was edited in for the clip and is not a part of the show in theatres

Melt me down
Into big black armour
Leave no trace of grace
Just in your honor
Lower me down
To culprit south
Make 'em wash
The space in town
For the lead and the dregs
Of my bed i've been sleepin'
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lead and the dregs of my bed
I was sleepin'
For the later parade
Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust
