What are some songs that immediately impressed you? I know we all love all of her songs, but weren't there a few that just immediately impressed you bigtime?
For me (keep in mind that I play the piano):
- Wanted- Heard it a while after I had the album and was like... wow... piano playing.... wow.. :)
-Papa- The piano=wow! :) I loved the end... that just impressed me so much
-Annie- Come on... the lyrics and the music are amazing!
-Hands on Me- The lyrics changed my life.... (they were the ones that made me a fan)
-Home- The outro... is perfect...
-Heroes and Thieves- The instrumental pieces and the lyrics are amazing!
-Swindler- Piano playing, especially at the end, is just a wow....
-All I Ask- The instrumental parts amazed me the first time I heard them....
That's it for me... i think. :P Can't wait to add more with ROTR! :)

i don't really remember all the songs that impressed me immediately. but i remember this strong feeling i had when i first heard annie, white houses, all is well, the marching line... all i know is that i ended up falling in love with all the songs.
-
ones that really stood out to me were:
-sway - when the piano kicked in, the song kicked me haha
-who's to say - the lyrics were inspiring (thats cliche to say)
-annie - need i say more?
-heroes & thieves - couldnt stop listening to the 30 sec itunes preview :)
-tall tales for spring - crazy good
-
A Thousand Miles- It still is a classic, long may she play it live :)
Pretty Baby- Just loved the gentle melody.
All Is Well - Probably the song that made me sit up and think , this Vanessa girl is quite good :)
San Francisco - melodically one of my favorite Vanessa songs.
Aferglow- Both melodically and lyrically I love this.
Spring Street - Especially the bridge " ... friends become strangers " so sadly very true :( :(
Home - Don't know why, but the lyrics always make me sad, I still loved it from first listen though, the instrumental outro is just perfect :)
Actually to be honest I could list every song from Heroes and Thieves that impressed me from first listen.
Superhero - melodically it got me immediately .
All I Ask - lyrically, vocally, and melodically, won me on first listen.

I frickin love that song with a burning passion. Haha. The lyrics are just amazing and the piano is so beautiful. It remains my all time fav(:

Half A Week--the imagery is stunning. I wish they would make a movie out of this.
My Best--yes, it certainly was her best
