Manda, some constructive criticism would be nice. I'd really like to know what you think I could do to improve.

Hmmmm....make it longer? I've thought about that. But I kinda like it the way it is. I could add another chorus at the end. Next time it gets recorded, I'll try that. 'Cause it probably will get recorded again. :wink:
p.s. a brand new recording of "Not Below You" is coming soooooon. Full instrumental!!

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / The Theme of Death In Vanessa's Songs
« on: March 14, 2005, 01:15:33 pm »
What a fascinating thread!
I love the theme of death in anything, especially music.
I've always seen "Twilight" as a positive song. Usually the chorus of a song holds its most imperative point--and the chorus in "Twilight" is very uplifting. The verses describe the realizations that have changed her in a positive light. This song has always inspired me. But that's just how I see it.

Awww! You guys are so sweet. Thanks for sticking up for me. 
I KNOW Vanessa is on a completely different level than me...I might sound similar due to the fact that she's my biggest influence, however, I realize how much of a gift she has. I'm still a beginner. I took piano lessons for years, but didn't start writing my own stuff until about a year and a half ago. Right now I can only hope that someday I'll be able to write a song as magical and special as every single Vanessa Carlton tune.
And production helps a LOT, it's true. My music is definitely frickin' raw right now, lol. I've run into tons of recording trouble and haven't been happy with anything so far. I think I sound so much better live. What makes Vanessa so wonderful is that her raw music is still so incredible, whether it's live or recorded.
I know I've got a lot of work to do...but if only you could see the progress I've made so far! I'm getting better--and for me, that's what counts.

She is quite a character...I LOVE what she said in her journal here:
"Most importantly, though, i wish you all the best, and hope you have fun living, breathing, clicking on things, petting things, talking to things, hanging things up to dry(an underrated fun activity...) and loving things... hip hip hooray"
That made my day.
And her video for "Us" is really frickin' cool.

I think that's completely understandable.
When I don't like someone, I usually hate their voice.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Top 100 Female Pop Vocalists
« on: March 08, 2005, 12:46:51 am »
OK, I'm a HUUUUUUUUUUGE Nessa fan, but Kelly Clarkson is a better vocalist. And they have her right behind Vanessa at frickin' 80 :?: :!: :?: :!: That's stupid. Kelly should be in the top 5 if you ask me. I'm seriously confused. And I agree: Michelle's voice is better than Vanessa's too. Don't get me wrong, I think Vanessa's voice is beautiful. But it doesn't have the range and strength of a voice like Kelly's. :?
