Apparently, young piano player Vanessa Carlton had another life before she became a Pop star - that of a ballerina. And in her upcoming video for her new single, "White Houses," she finally gets to prove it. Carlton told MTV, "There's a bit of schizophrenia in the video. I'm a musician who just sits there forever, and I'm someone who likes to jump around and move. I actually have legs!" In the video, while Carlton sits at her piano and sings, another version of herself gets up and dances around and on the piano.
Of the song itself, she said, "It's about jealousy, it's about losing your virginity, it's about living on your own. It's a story that most people can relate to, that chapter in your life from 16 to 25, where you're trying to figure out who you are, and you go through all these triumphs and tragedies on a daily basis, and how they shape you. It's really the journey of one girl and her perception of her environment and how she starts out as a wide-eyed person, but everyone gets hardened by life, but not necessarily to the point where you can't feel anymore — all these things, in one little snapshot of a song." "White Houses" is the first single from Cartlon's upcoming disc Harmonium, which hits stores on October 19.

the 'white houses' is like where everything took place, that time in her life
so its like everything that happened in that time stays sealed in that portion of her life

I think "secrets in white houses" refers to her childhood. Remember, Milford is a small country town. White houses are more predominant in the country, as far as my experiences go. All of a sudden, she's in NY in ballet school.
My opinion. NH.com needs to interview her again and clarify this issue.

She holds onto secrets in "white houses" because, well, I don't think that is supposed to be taken literally. But it's white houses because white represents purity and innocence. A house is where you keep things that usually you like to keep close to you. So I think what she's saying is she holds on to these secrets that would taint her innocence and purity, in a place where nobody has to know about the secrets, while she appears to mantain her innocence and purity. Wow, I really hope everyone understood that. :|
And, yes, Vanessa has very nice legs, indeed. Can't wait to see the dancing!

I'm glad she finally decided to show off her other talents. She's a beautiful dancer.
