Title: Most Powerful Vanessa Carlton Song
Post by: VaderDawsn on August 08, 2004, 12:47:22 pm

What song do you consider to be the most "powerful"* VC song you've heard this far?

*powerful, meaning producing the strongest emotional response from you, as a listener

My vote is for "Wanted".  That song always hits me hard and moves me.

Wonder

I'm going to go with Twilight. Some of the live recordings I've heard are exceptionally beautiful. Close runner-ups would have to be Little Mary, Afterglow, and, Tia's right, Wonder.

Superhero, or Ordinary Day

I've never heard "Wonder" or "little Mary" before.  Where had you guys heard these tunes? i know VC has played "afterglow" live but I haven't heard that one either.

I have a feeling that my pick for most powerful V song will be on Harmonium. WH is doing pretty good right now. All I Ask is cool too.

The most powerful song in my opinion would have to be Afterglow.

I would have to say "Twilight"

Title: Most Powerful Vanessa Carlton Song
Post by: LimeTwister on August 08, 2004, 04:33:06 pm

Wanted and Rinse (the original 'Rinse' version)

Title: Most Powerful Vanessa Carlton Song
Post by: Jophess on August 08, 2004, 07:33:10 pm

Hmm... for me it would be "Papa" or "Paradise".

Post by: Steveau on August 08, 2004, 08:46:47 pm

Paradise

Title: Most Powerful Vanessa Carlton Song
Post by: Tia on August 09, 2004, 07:19:27 am

How could I forget Paradise?! I'm bad *spanks self*
When I bought the ATM single I liked VC, but I didn't love her - but the piano/vocal version of Paradise was so powerful that I became a NESSAholic.

Paradise and Wonder :wink:

"All I Ask" moves me the most. It's the perfect song.

I love it too - but mostly coz of the piano parts LOL!

Post by: VaderDawsn on August 10, 2004, 11:18:27 am

All I Ask is definitely very powerful too.  I love the piano.  There's so much emotion in her voice, lyrics and the piano playing.  I almost forgot about this song when I posed the question.  Then again, VC has written many emotionaly powerfu tunes.  And that's one of the reason I love her music so much!l

I'd have to say Rinse. It always makes me listen, because everything she's saying, I'm sure every girl will go through it. But, just the way she says everything makes it all the more powerful.

Papa...this first time I heard it was when it was played a couple of inches in front of me. I got shivers...good ones.

Paradise and All I Ask

Title: Most Powerful Vanessa Carlton Song
Post by: Steveau on October 18, 2004, 11:57:40 am

I said Paradise before but I have to change it to Twilight because every time I hear it live I get the chills and it must be powerful to elicit a physical response.

Who's to Say

Title: Most Powerful Vanessa Carlton Song
Post by: zurielshimon on October 20, 2004, 07:46:16 am

Quite several of her songs have moved me emotionally.  But at a mere 2-minutes-25, probably the one that grabbed me the hardest and really made be think about the emotion is "The Wreckage". :o :!: :?: :cry:

Title: Most Powerful Vanessa Carlton Song
Post by: TwilightTeen on October 26, 2004, 11:03:57 pm

Twilight and White Houses. White Houses is the only one I've heard off Harmonium though, seems it's not out in NZ yet.

Many people are confusing " Powerfull song to Favorite song ".. My favorite song is " Superhero " but the powerfull is Meggie Sue and Devil Dance... Just pay attention and you'll agree with me :wink:

I've never heard of "Wonder."  

The most powerful Nessa songs, in my opinion, are...

TWILIGHT, WHO'S TO SAY, ORDINARY DAY, AND WHITE HOUSES.  

It's hard to narrow it down.  I think they're ALL powerful--that's why I think she's so amazing!   :D
