I remember Starbucks did this four years ago when Rabbits was about to come out
right, I wonder what other songs are on that playlist other than Blue Pool.
@sarab, which seat did you get? I got Section Right Center, Row A, Seat 106.
woohoo! got the download links!!!
Me too! NWSUTB is just
wow the video is awesome! i love the image of her staring the painting!
the song playing is ascension right? i love it! it's very youth lagoon. amazing.
I love the liberman video! did you notice it's directed by her brother? I also knew that was ascension right away because 1-it didn't sound like anything I've heard before, and i'm pretty sure I've heard at least snippets from all the songs except that one. and 2 - the chords ascend. it's super beautiful, and like "in the end" but in a more positive, uplifting way than it is. definitely ending on a brighter note than ROTR (even though the message of ITE is ultimately a positive one, the atmosphere it creates is not, and it's a morbid concept for people to grasp sometimes, but I digress)
I wouldn't call "and I go and die" an uplifting ending to the song, but... we'll leave that for the song discussion thread :-P
I was surprised she just went ahead and just unveiled another song like that.

well... her response to him was like ones she gives fans.. brief "yes" "No" "<3" or "x" so not that she's not happy but.. she didn't get overly excited.
I've gotten the "x" LOL
(it's still more acknowledgment than most celebs give their fans on twitter, so I'll take it haha)
oh gosh, yes I agree, anything is better than nothing.. but she has responded to others/her friends with a little bit more than that, but actually not too much even then!
I've saved all my screenshots from when she's responded to me. She actually takes time out of her day to write back to us, it just feels so good. I've gotten more than just an "x" too! lol. I posted about getting a record player solely for the release of her album and that I couldn't wait, and she said "Get ready girl x", another time a few months ago I mentioned how after listening to Fairweather Friends, Carousel and now River how much she really likes that seesaw pattern (she mentioned this in a tutorial video for Carousel) and she replied "totes". I still freak out any time she responds to me.... haha!
Awesome to have the studio version, but I gotta say, I prefer the live version with the extended violin intro. It had such a great Celtic/Irish feel to it that I thought worked magically.
I was expecting synths and drums too but I like this a lot.
Edit-
I'm also listening on my phone speakers at work so I'm probably missing a lot of details
i guess i'm the only person here that likes the guitar driven material just as much?? for me it adds a new and interesting dynamic.
personally i love get good and the live version of a matter of time. the guitar for get good sounds like a pretty dusty field and an abstract painting to me; and there is piano in it, it's just buried under the guitar.
me and my friend realized that young heart would've really taken off if they had recorded drums to it. my friend played along to it and it took on a whole new life.
I completely agree !
Personally I had not noticed TIE and O were so similar. I have never liked Take It Easy anyway. But Operator makes me feel so good.
I am looking forward to listening to the album.
Nothing Where Something used to be is also a very good song. My favorite one of the EP so far.
I am waiting for House Of Seven Swords, Unlock The Lock, Willows and River above all.
We are not sure about the tracklist. I hope there would be more new songs. I don't like A Matter Of Time come to that.
But what worries me is how the voice is dealt on the disc. I really hate her voice on Young Heart and Blue Pool whereas the songs could have been absolutely perfect.
We will see.
But anyway I am still in love of her music. I really like how she has evolved since ATM.
I personally dislike her take on guitar driven songs (Dear California is an exception though). Like what you mentioned, A Matter of Time and Young Heart... gag. It's inspired because of John but like I said before I have nothing against the guy BUT Vanessa radiates on her piano driven songs. That's why we became fans in the first place. So it's just awry to me that she's trying new things and venturing other paths. Stick to what you know V. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
It is not new and not only due to John to me.
I have never liked for example Get Good whereas I am in love with the omnichord live version ! The problem is clearly the guitar in the studio version.
But I must confess I am not really objective when it comes to Vanessa's piano.
As you said we became fan of Vanessa AND her piano and finally at the same time.
I have the feeling she betrays her art when she gives up on her piano.
By the way I really hope she will try new things on the piano. She has not done her best in this area since Rabbits.
She used to be a classical pianist and can play rock, pop and even jazz. She is not ambitious enough although she is obviously gifted enough. Pity !
I think it is great she tries new sounds. She is very innovative and that is good but with her piano it is better.
