Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Re: "Come Undone" -- has it grown on anyone else?

« on: December 06, 2010, 07:17:27 am »

I never really considered the intro as part of the song, just a separate entity (because it really doesn't "work" to me)  It never had any influence on whether or not I like the song itself.  Most of the time I'm listening to it in the car (long work commute) so I can barely hear it!

The good thing is that she'll get paid in royalties, so that's cool.

IF someone buys it

I will!  Even if it is just released from the company, she will still get something...even though they'd get more.

Introduce Yourself / Re: New here :)

« on: December 05, 2010, 06:30:10 am »

Hello there!
im Emma and I moved here from The Netherlands when i was 8
Ive liked V ever since i was about 10, so 4 years
I do balett
I would love to learm to play piano, haha i know.
And i love to write, im a pretty creative person.
ive never ben to a VC concert but i ceartanly will if she comes back to the Seattle area. and i promise, one day i will learn to play the piano just like everone else on here. haha.

Welcome Emma!  we can all only hope that with this next album she tours A LOT! I hope she comes back to Rochester, NY too. I was 16 when she came (so 9 years!) and I really wished she'd come back!  By the way, I don't play the piano either, though I did play the violin in high school (not very well...)and I really want to try figuring out the violinist part in Waltz but I've never been too good at doing things by ear..so I think I'll be having troubles with that, we'll see!

I didn't know she rode horses either. *new wrinkle*  Oh, it was most definately a fear dream!  I'm glad I'm not the only one with the same fears. Vanessa is one of those people I wish I could be and/or be friends with! haha.  So unrealistic, but in a dream world...

Guys, trust me: there'll be no unreleased things. This is just a way for A&M to get all the cash they can from the tracks they legally own. It's basically a compilation of her songs, it's not an official greatest hits. She won't promote it (probably doesnt even know it exists) and she won't release anything new on them.

So pessimistic! lol.  we can only dream

I honestly never spent too much time looking at the art.. I am ashamed to admit!  I am going to have to take a closer look at all of them now.  Thanks for the inspiration everyone

i had a dream about her once and she came to my house and just walked right inside. she ten continued to go upstairs and into my mothers room where my mom and little brother were lying on my moms bed. Vanessa then got into the bed with them and lay down. when she left she hugged everyone but me. no one in my family even likes her. i was so mad she didnt hug me lol

I had a similar dream! I was at show and she reached out to touch everyones hands then came down and signed autographs for everyone but me! Then I went to my favorite diner and she was there working under the name "katie" she said she worked there all the time but I had never seen her before.  So I played along and tried to strike up a conversation.
When I sat down to write about the dream I figured out it's about my feer of rejection..  I always think about meeting her and how great it would be, but that I have nothing to offer her in return.  I am not an artist of any sort by any means.  I don't even write that well or often; I would just be one of those blabbering (problably screaming fans) who just say how much she has influenced my life and blah blah, nothing she hasn't heard before, when I'd like to be unique in her eyes (but I know I never would be)

I have never even given LL a chance really..I don't want to feed into her hype and contribute to her drug habit.  Generally, if I hear something I like, I research the artist a little then usually get stuck on that person/group for months.  I rarely listen to the radio! So I'm glad I've gotten some input from otherss on a different thread of artist to check out.  Thanks all!

sorry, I was taking a nap, then trying to figure out why I was having problems downloading this.
here........

-------------

For all you broken hearted lovers lost
Go find another one
'Cause you know time will break and you'll be late
White rabbits on the run

It's hard to know what's good for you
And know she'll let you down
But the fever breaks when it's too much to take
So you can put your weapons down

All you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

Never too late to change the pace
Days creep up on you
But the goodness is something you don't have to chase
'Cause it's following you

And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo

I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Casting long distant spells never unearthed
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Dancing all dancing spells never unearthed
Unearthed

Oo
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before me
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend

Until you hear the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, a carousel
It's a carousel, my friend

And time won't wait, so don't be late
White rabbits on the run

------------------------------------------

I tried my best, I agree some part were hard and may not be 100% correct, but for the most part I think I did well.

after typing these out
and listening like the 3rd time and understanding what she was saying...
wow.
not gonna lie, I cried.

she always has a way of getting to me, some way...
because I can always find a way to relate.





edit:
anyone else getting that "Cyndi Lauper - True Colors" feel from this song?
I donno why but even after the first listen, I was reminded of that song.

hmm.

I am not sure I hear the word "thunder" though I have no other suggestion as to what it may be. I try really hard to make it fit bbut in my mind I cannot.  I will have to listen to it in complete silence some day when I have time!

that's funny becauase I feel the same way about it ending on a dark note! I would expect more after that and give me a lot to think about.  That's how I felt with Harmonium.  Just goes to show there is no one way to think.  (she could be half done but still have an end song... sometimes you know how something ends and have to fill in everything else that leads up to it).
Irv Gotti did get that right. she really can't.  Whatever she does will be brilliant.
[/quote]

Just wanted to add/reiterate that a happy ending would leave me more satisfied and fulfilled than a dark ending.  with a happy ending such as with H&T, it completes the story, completes the album. When I first listened to Harmonium and it ended I was like...whaaaat? that's it? I felt completely opposite with H&T. 
Isn't it wonderous that one person can make us feel so much?  One person we don't even know (but would love to).  Just a random thought.

they really are great albums, however I have to admit when Harmonium first came out I didn't get it.  It didn't fit into my life as BNN had fit into my life when it came out.  Only as a grew older and listened to it more did it realllly come to fruition for me.  So I can see how others might not 'get it' so to speak, even the people at record companies because they only see dollar signs not true, raw, talent such as our V.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: Does the title Rabbits on the Run make you think of...

« on: December 03, 2010, 02:24:54 pm »

interesting.  what makes them suck? I'd think they'd be similar (this coming from someone who does not speak a second language...)

I liked "Tall Tales For Spring" as an album title.

I can't decide which I like better.  I think ROTR is clever and different but so is TTFS, though I feel it is a bit more generic.  Like anyone could have that title.
