I just listened to this song for the first time...
and it was haha really weird.
VC's voice is....really high.
This was on her demo tape, I know, but it's weird.
haha
About suicide right?
-
Yeah, I believe so.
Vanessa sounds terrible.
-
yeah, i guess thats how they start out..
gwen kinda sounds like that too-ish?
-
It wasn't my favorite, but i still like it.
-
Yeah...
it freaked me out, like her voice was going crazy.
Where do people get their hands on like Demos and live never head versions of songs?
-
Yeah, I believe so.
Vanessa sounds terrible.
Oh yeah. I was listening to those demo tape songs on my mp3 player, but I had to stop 'cause I got a major head and earache. However my family HAS told me I have a very low threshold to pain....so maybe that's not saying much...

You can listen to it on youtube. the song has kind of a sad meaning, its kinda about suicide:
"Oh little Mary
Don’t you jump now
Little Mary show them who you are
Show them what you are
and Little Mary takes a fall
All the way to heaven
Her feelings always trapped inside her perfect little heart
Her image is secure
She had to do what she had to do
To keep a perfect little Mary
It’s always a perfect little Mary that falls she falls
And it’s always a perfect little Mary that falls
Mary falls "

I think what AisforAdrn meant is, where do people get them in the first place? Like how do they start circulating around?
It must start somewhere.
I could be wrong about what AisforAdrn meant, but nevertheless, it is a good question.

I think that she should make an album with all her demos, it would be cool. i wish you could download them off of itunes or something, i love those songs.
-
Yeah, I wish she would sing all those songs again so we could hear them with her nice voice. :lol:

Oh yes, I hope I could be like her someday. I'm more like the high-pitched Vanessa right now. 8)

Hey,
I am new here.
I just really discoverd Vanessa. I had her cd's, and enjoyed them. I went to her concert here in Seattle, and for some reason that hooked me soooooo much.
Anyway, I went and downloaded her demo tape.
I love Little Mary. I know it was in her begining days, but I really like it. I can relate to the lyrics A LoT, so maybe that is why. But I keep listening to it over and over.
I think she should come out with a cd of her demo tape, it's awesome.

As I understand it, the famous Vanessa Carlton demo tape everyone knows about is one of about five tapes of songs that Vanessa wrote and recorded herself and made copies of to distribute to contacts in the music industry, &c. She submitted a copy of each of the tapes to the Library of Congress for copyrights. An original copy of one of her tapes turned up for sale on eBay one day, and several Nessaholics members pitched in to win it. I'm not sure who has the actual tape, but everyone who pitched in got first dibs on a copy of the songs on it, and they have spread from there. As far as I know, none of the other about four tapes has surfaced, though.
-
thanks for the info. I hope they surface someday. Vanessa is amazing.
Do you know if Little Mary was written about someone specific?
Thanks
-
i actually am in love with this song now!
-
I, too, like Little Mary and would really love to hear Vanessa re-record it along with the other demo songs. I've always really liked 'Faces,' too.
And 'All I Ask' is one of my all-time favorite Vanessa songs.
-
I'd love to hear her re-record "Faces".
-
I bet she'd make it sound really nice!
