Polls / 2nd Harmonium single

« on: March 13, 2008, 04:58:24 pm »

"Private Radio" would have been an excellent single, but it was still a sensitive time in our country, and a song about making bombs in the middle of the night was just not what we needed on the airwaves.

ummmm....that's not what the song was about. one time she said at a concert that it WASN'T about making bombs at night, so maybe you're a little confused. I dunno.....maybe you're right, but i portray it as just insomnia.

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Any good songs?

« on: March 09, 2008, 10:28:05 am »

i think Rinse and Twilight are hard to play, but i took the youtube tutorials for those songs, and made a different version.

here are the links to the videos:

those are my versions of the songs, and they're easier to play. which makes them a bit funner

Other Musicians / Reccomend me a new artist or 3...

A Fine Frenzy was described as having a "Vanessa Carlton like quality" in a magazine. So, i dunno. A Fine Frenzy is sorta dull at times, but she has a few good songs.

Teddy Geiger is also pretty good. i've only heard of VC in that list, but he has a very good voice, and his songs are like a breath of fresh air.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Vanessa Should Go on Dancing With The Stars

« on: March 08, 2008, 11:23:48 am »

Personally, i think she should, because she would totally rock it, and WIN! I love her dancing in the WH vid!

But, she's not really into all of that, she does stuff like dancing and singing and playing the piano because it's what makes her happy. she's a very humble celebrity, and i don't think she would be interested in doing it, just because it might bring her back into the limelight. if anything, she'll do it because she just wants to dance again.

Hopefully everything i sed made sense! lol  :roll:

Polls / 2nd Harmonium single

Private Radio was THE song. It would have done better than everything other than ATM probably. Unfortunately, it never got the chance.  :evil:

i know! I don't think it would've done better than ATM, but it would've definately got her back in good graces with her record company and MTV, and i think it definately would've gotten her back in the limelight.

Polls / 2nd Harmonium single

if it wasn't for the White Houses controversy, what would you have wanted to be the next single for Harmonium?

Personally, I think Private Radio or San Francisco would've been good choices, and would've got her into good graces with MTV and her old record company.
 I also have great images for "She Floats", but they would probably cut out the violin intro, and although it's beautiful, i don't think it would help her much, cos most everyday people would want to prefer to listen to Private Radio over She Floats.

Polls / What is your favorite V Album?

« on: March 01, 2008, 10:25:43 am »

My favorite would have to be H&T, closely followed by BNN.
-Heroes and Thieves is pretty different, very lighter, but it's truly amazing! This was worth waiting 3 years for!
-BNN is just full of darkness, but also has those lighter songs too, and i love the album art. all the songs are so close to my heart.  

Harmonium fans please don't shoot me for this:
Although, i love Harmonium for it's organic-ness, and it's bittersweet songs, but there's something that i felt was missing. it's still really good, just not my favorite.

Polls / What should be the next single?

« on: March 01, 2008, 10:17:03 am »

you know, i've been thinking about it, and I still think Come Undone or Fools Like Me would do very well, but im surprised to find that i think Spring Street would do very well too! I think it's pretty radio-friendly, and i have great images for it. If you guys have seen the original version of A Thousand Miles on Youtube, i think parts of it should be a little like that, except V is a bit sad, like in the bridge. I dunno. i just have really good images for that

THE REAL ME

my goodness, would you look at the time?
seems like so many years have just.....passed me by
usta be that little spazzy girl everyone usta pick on
but that seems like so long.....ago
but i guess i'm still like that around my closest friends
but i just wish this would all end

PRE-CHORUS:
cuz so much has happened this past few years
priorities shuffled around, even a few shed tears
so hold on tight, hold on tight my dear....

CHORUS:
im trusting, trusting in you
and i hope you're the kinda guy
who says and means what you do
because you're the first person i'm gonna tell
hell
no, you don't!
and i wish you'd see....
see the real me
END OF CHORUS

friendships changed
and faded away
but one thing's stayed the, stayed the same
this life trys to keep us apart
but i know that this only the start.....

CHORUS


BRIDGE:
now i wish you'd IM me
i wish you'd email me
i wish you'd call me
i wish you would pull me and aside to talk to me
only, only so you can see....
yeah

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS (x2)

see the real me....oooo, oh-oh

Creative Endeavors / A few original songs

« on: February 25, 2008, 04:56:00 pm »

^that was great!
 just a question but where did the inspiration for that song come from?

My dad. he's not bad or anything, don't worry.  you know, he just gets a little short-tempered somtimes. i pretty much took that,and tried to make it something bigger than it was.

SECRETLY AFRAID

Father, i love you so
but some images haunt me, although
i care for you
but sometimes, the things you do....
they make me cry
i don't know why
but despite all this, i know you mean well....

CHORUS:
I secretly cried
I secretly lied
to those faint little heartbeats inside
of me
and secretly am in fear
my dear
cos im secretly afraid
END OF CHORUS

I listened for you heading up the stairs
those familar footsteps, they left me in despair
the way you sweared
it made me feel like you didn't care
it made me cry
and i don't know why
but despite all this, i know you mean well....

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I'm sorry (im sorry)
I'm sorry (im sorry)
i cryed in front of you
I'm sorry (im sorry)
I'm sorry (im sorry)
if you ever felt this way too
and.....

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
sorry, sorry sorry
sorry, sorry sorry, sorry
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
for......mmmmhmmm...yea-ah

CHORUS


im secretly waiting
im secretly waiting
im secretly waiting
on those days
when i learn how to not be afraid.....

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Misheard Lyrics?

« on: February 24, 2008, 12:45:07 pm »

For White Houses, instead of: "Beer through the nose on an inside joke"

i thought it was:
"feels like someone knows an inside joke"

for a Thousand miles instead of: "i, i drown in your memory"

i thought it was:
"i, i i'm done with your memories"

and for Sway: "precious ladies, love you, love me..."

i thought it was:
"precious gravy, love you, love me..." and i was like, what the heck?!

Polls / Hands On Me video vs. Nolita Fairytale video

« on: February 24, 2008, 11:10:19 am »

Nolita Fairytale: I think this was Nessa's best video, and she looked....happy. for her last few vids, i've seen her looking all sad, so this was definately a start of something new.

Hands on me: it's a beautiful song, and i can totally picture this music video for the song.....almost. but i felt the piano lost it's meaning, if that makes any sense, which it probably doesn't. like, the piano isn't as big a deal as it is, compared to her other music videos.

I personally liked NF better, but i would have to say, it's definately a close tie.

Polls / What should be the next single?

« on: February 23, 2008, 11:38:17 am »

we have Nolita Fairytale and Hands On Me off the board, so what now?

I think probably Fools Like Me or Come Undone. I think those are the most radio-friendly, and plus they're really cool and easy to relate to. guess it's a tie! but maybe i'm leaning a little more towards Fools Like Me, cos that's just my ultimate favorite for some reason.
