This is probably my favorite of all of her new songs. It's so beautiful.
Could someone please try to make out the lyrics?
I have some of them I think, but I need help. (:
For all you broken hearted ??
Go find another one
Cuz you know time will ?bring another day?
White rabbits on the run
It's hard to know what's good for you
I know she let you down
But when the fever breaks when it's too much to take
so you can put your weapons down
And all you'll hear is music
and beauty stands before you
and love comes back around again
it's a carousel my friend
It's never too late to change the pace
The days creep up on you
But the goodness to somethin' you don't have to chase
cuz it's following you
and all you'll hear is music
and beauty stands before you
and love comes back around again
it's a carousel my friend
I could not really understand the bridge so...lol
And the ending is something like
Time awaits so don't be late
white rabbits on the run
-
When she sang this song?, I can't find it on Youtube.
-
You did a great job with the lyrics! The only help I have is with the first line:
For all you broken hearted lovers lost
Sorry I can't be of more help - I'm as lost as you with the bridge haha

Album version lyrics (also posted on page 11 of this thread):

For all you broken hearted lovers lost
Go find another one
'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late
White rabbits on the run
It's hard to know what's good for you
I know she let you down
But the fever breaks when it's too much to take
So you can put your weapons down
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again

Never too late to change the pace
Oh how the days creep up on you
But the goodness is something you don't have to chase
'Cause it's following you
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
oo, Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Is the owl casting spells that we're under?
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Is the owl casting spells that we're under?
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Is the owl casting spells that we're under?
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Is the owl casting spells that we're under?
Under
Oo
And all I hear is the music
And beauty stands before me
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
It's in the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, a carousel
It's a carousel, my friend, oo
Time won't wait, so don't be late

I tried my best, I agree some part were hard and may not be 100% correct, but for the most part I think I did well.
after typing these out
and listening like the 3rd time and understanding what she was saying...
wow.
not gonna lie, I cried.
she always has a way of getting to me, some way...
because I can always find a way to relate.
:(
edit:
anyone else getting that "Cyndi Lauper - True Colors" feel from this song?
I donno why but even after the first listen, I was reminded of that song.
hmm. :)
-
Thanks for the lyrics, Kulp. They are ACCURATE. (:
And "Carousel" is just awesome. In my opinion, it is somehow a mix of IDWTBAB and Fools Like Me, musically speaking. But the lyrics, they are just.. MAGNIFICENT. V just reminded why I have been a fan of hers.rrrrrrrrrr
-
The lyrics sound spot on to me! Thanks Kulp!
I can definitely hear a bit of a "True Colors" vibe to this song too.
This song is so beautiful, I'm kinda speechless and choked up right now. I really, really love it.
-
Magnificent lyrics. Thank you LauraH and Kulp!
i almost cried too...so....yeah.
-
I wanna stand before a merry go round and listen to this song all the friggin day.
I mean WOW.
I wanna just sit in her head and feed off of her creativity.
Thank you Vanessa.
You make me feel like I'm home.
-
It reminds me of Who's To Say in a major way. (:
I think it's my favourite from the new album. It just beat out Fair-weather Friends. (:
-
Love love love.
Thanks Kulp for always posting accurate lyrics! You rock.

Same here, though I thought it sounds like Fair-Weather Friends.

Such a bittersweet, beautiful song. I loved the 'white rabbits on the run' line.

Is anyone else completely in love with the chorus? "And all you'll hear is the music, and beauty stands before you, and love comes back around again, it's a carousel, my friend..."
That woman has a way with words.

it's been a loop on my speakers for the past few days. seriously. I've listened around 150 times already.
it's rare that I can put a song on repeat and CONTINUALLY listen to it without getting tired of it... at all.
This song has high potential to be a great single.
sooooooooooo awesome!!!!!!! :D

I agree. I can't get enough of this song. I can seriously listen to this for the whole week without getting tired.
And love comes back around again; It's a carousel, my friend. ♥

It'll have to break my Bride record. I mean I listened to Bride when it was first recorded sooooo much that its still in the top in my most played playlist which makes me wonder how many times I've listened to that song.
Does anyone else imagine a merry go round in like really slo mo in black and white and just really happy memories from a time when things weren't so complicated...
One thing for sure though, whenever I listen to the song... I feel like I'm being hugged by someone really special.

haha! I saw your lastfm page yesterday and i was like "holy shit" when i saw the Recently Listened Tracks list and it was all Carousel, lol.
But the goodness is something you don't have to chase 'cause it's following you <3
-
I've just figured out about 10 seconds of this on piano, lol.z
Hmm.
-
I figured out already the whole song. I'm just finding the time to write it down on Overture. ;)
-
Pft, screw college English and college application essays, I can listen to this song all night. ^^; If I could make time pause just for me, I would do that, and if I was given a day to figure it out on the piano and memorize it, I would. Unfortunately, I can't.
Thank you for the lyrics!

Thank goodness. You've saved me a job, lol.

I really don't get the line "white rabbits on the run" in this song. What is it a metaphor for?? It just sounds so abrupt after the lines "Cause you know time will break and you'll be late" and "And time won't wait, so don't be late".

It is metaphorical. V mentioned before that rabbits symbolize "time slipping" and "mind floating" for her. And remember the White Rabbit on a hurry from Alice in Wonderland? Guess she got the inspiration from there.
-
So I have been extremely busy with work and school and I never really payed attention to this song. Today I decided to sit down and finally listen to the song. Anytime I listen to a new V song I have to hear it more than once. I have to hear it in total silence. Nothing but the song in the background. I listen to the music, then her lyrics, how they coexist, what the song means, etc. I love this song. I cried. I am willing to admit I have cried to Vanessa songs but I have never cried initially like I have with this song. Its just so beautiful. It is now my favorite Vanessa song.
-
If anyone still wants this song, i have a really good version that sounds almost studio. just reply if your intirested :)

huh interesting because I totally here "thunder" the lyrics I'm iffy on are "Dancing all dancing spells never unearthed" cuz I have no idea what she says through most of it, but I hear "under" rather than "unearth" for some reason.

I hear under as well, but can make unearthed work. I SWEAR I hear an 'ack' sound where people hear 'thunder' ! But then again my husband says I can't hear very well.. LOL!~
side note, I just figure out I can post while I'm at work! Very excited about that.

http://omg.yahoo.com/news/rabbit-hole-shoot-a-harrowing-time-for-kidman/52003
found this article about Nicole Kidman's new movie called "Rabbit Hole" and I think they should use Carousel as the theme song! The movie sounds depressing but seems to have undertones of hope and I feel that her song would work! It would be awesome promotion and from what I can tell sounds like a good movie.

yeah when i typed that, that whole part is the most iffy part of the whole song, not really positive on what she's saying..
i sorta just molded what i thought she said together for that line..
I'm almost sure she says
"I thought I heard your voice in the thunder"
it's the line after that that I'm really unsure of, although I'm almost sure she says "never"
--and I agree with you, it does sound like she's saying "under" BUT, the alternatives for "under" make no sense at all.
like "never under" "ever under".. i just don't get.. but if you listen closely, you can hear the faint "thed" sound after "under" (especially the first time she says it) which drives me more positively towards "unearthed" especially because "never unearthed" makes sense.
although, sadly I'm not sure what would make sense before "never unearthed"
I swear I hear "spells" and definitely a word that ends with "-ing"
so I tried my best to make lines that sound almost exactly like what she's saying, and make sure that they make at least a little bit of sense.
She may or may not be saying the exact same thing the first and 2nd times she says it...
probably is the same thing.. although it sounds slightly different the 2nd time than the first.
ok, so here is me analyzing this even more... line by line in order..
(first one)
I tried to think ... what can you do with "spells" .. well it sorta sounds like "testing" to be honest ..well if you take the 2nd "T" sound in "testing" .."casting" is also a possibility, which would make sense, something you can do with a spell... cast it. as odd as it sounds in this song, but then again, it's sort of magical itself, now isn't it?
ok so... next word.. sounds like "on"
casting on... hmmm... maybe "all" ? "long" ? ..ok upon more listens, definitely probably not "all" ..really sounds like "long" here. because I hear "ong" and the "l-" sound is short and quick anyway.
casting long, testing long.. next word...
"distant" ? "distance" ? ..testing long distant spells never unearthed. actually i'm pretty sure this is distant rather than distance. (she's probably saying the same thing in the next line which is where i probably heard 'dancing' from)
alright well, let's analyze the 2nd time now...
the first word sounds different, yet the same as last time..
sounds like "antsy" actually. "and she" .. "-ancing" I just transformed it into "dancing" which I now realize is completely wrong.
"and she yelled distant spells never unearthed" is my best guess for now for this line, but I can't help but think it could be the exact same as the first time she said it....
it still could be "casting long distant spells never unearthed"
but wait, let's go back a little..
still 2nd time here..
sounds like "and she y'all" I don't think it's "yelled" because the word ends with an "all" sound (see my original lyrical thought)
could this be "long" again?? maybe it is, maybe Vanessa just slurred it a little.. I mean, she is kinda singing this part fast.. it is possible... but I REALLY don't hear the "g" ending to "long" it really ends with "all"
"and she all --?-- spells never unearthed"
it honestly doesn't sound like "distant" this time.. vaguely like "dancing" but I hear an "a" sound in it. like "daa_ss_omm" almost like "did some". or "dan some" but not really "some" like "sin.. in" .. "dancin" ?
I donno, if I had to give it lyrics for now I would say
"and she yelled distant spells never unearthed"
bleh! I can't wait to hear another recording of this.
-
WHOA! Holy words batman.
I like the idea of casting spells never unearthed because it IS very magical :) You have done a lot of work and thinking and I hope I didn't offend you when I said I didn't hear 'thunder' that's just ME.
I finally have a night off work tomorrow (thursday night) so I think I am going to sit down and see what I can figure out (you've inspired me with all your hard work). No cleaning or anything else but Vanessa and Carousel.
We do desperately need a clean, stuido version (hopefully without too much else added to the song because I love the stripped, raw sound of just her and the piano..or piano and violin or guitar.)

I agree. Stripped versions sound more vulnerable. More depth.

Absoultely! Although, if she used the same principal as she did in Home, it could be really beautiful too. You know, the build up of extra instrumentals. or minimal other musicians. I will still love it either way!

qucik reply while I'm at work:
the first line I hear an 'ack' sound, and I feel like it's "back"
the second time she sings 'thought I heard your voice..." sounds more like thunder than the first time.
I have yet to really sit down and listen but a preliminary guess at the first line is something like
"thought I heard you're voice, when you comin back" (this obviously could be totally off the mark, and I may get a lot of flack for it, but I'm prepared! Like I said, I still havn't really sat down and analyzed it, just listening in the car ;)

For all you broken hearted lovers lost
Go find another one
'Cause you know time will wait and you'll be late
White rabbits on the run
It's hard to know what's good for you
I know she let you down
But the fever breaks when it's too much to take
So you can put your weapons down
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
Love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
Never too late to change the pace
The way the days creep up on you
But the goodness is something I don't have to chase
'Cause it's following you
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
Love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo
I thought I heard your voice when you found her
And she yelled guess who spells that were under
I thought I heard your voice when you found her
And she yelled guess who spells that were under
Under her
Oo
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before me
Love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
Until you hear the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, a carousel
It's a carousel, my friend
And time won't wait, so don't be late

The backing vocals make this so even more amazing.
IT'S SO GOOD AND THE LYRICS ARE AMAZING! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Well it def sounds like shes gonna announce it as a single in her talk.
I can't decide between this one and IDWBAB.
-
hilarious. I say this because I finally heard thunder when I was at the concert. LOL
-
This song has grown so much on me since the first time I listened it!! Specially now with this new recording!
thanks sarab for making a clearer recording and kulpdogg for the lyrics ;D
-
new lyrics
-------------------
I thought I heard your voice and you found her
And she yelled guess who spells that were under
I thought I heard your voice and you found her
And she yelled guess who spells that were under
Under her
----------------------------------------
This makes so much more sense, lol, tho i think i will hear thunder for ever! :D Awesome, thanks : )
I agree. But still, thunder I won't forget.

especially because she starts to say "it's the first..." but then recovers with "kind of door opener"
-
There's some magic in how she played it. Like it's more upbeat and has more energy unto it. And it certainly is my favorite off her new batch of songs.
-

Who is/were singing the backup vocals on that song?
On the studio version, could those backing vocals be that of the choir we she is supposed to have?

her guitarist, Ari.
he'll probably be on the album with backing vocals as well.
and I donno about where the choir will be on the album. We'll have to wait and see on that one.
-
I thought it was the guitarist, Ari or whoever it is (:-X) ... Anyway, I like this version; the performance is more upbeat, compared to the last one.
[e]
^ Nevermind, it is Ari.
-
Oh, cool, thanks! Is that the same guitarist who has been with her for the past couple of years? It's nice to finally hear him sing if so.
-
Oh, cool, thanks! Is that the same guitarist who has been with her for the past couple of years? It's nice to finally hear him sing if so.
no. sometimes she had Mark Beauchemin tour with her.
-
Oh.
Lol too many people for me to remember.
-

Nope, that was Mark!
-
She needs to bring back Skye thats what she needs to do. I love the guitar and all, but, there I love when she performs with Skye.

from the better quality sunset sessions video (with stevie) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR5kHJ3G5_s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR5kHJ3G5_s)) i think we're going to have to go back to "thunder"!
i propose: "i thought i heard your voice in the thunder / it's a yell casting spells that we're under"

I think it might be "I thought I heard your voice in the thunder, is the owl casting spells that we're under?"
This has been a tricky line through all the live versions lol, cant wait to get the official lyrics on the record.
-
Awwwww, Stevie said so many nice things about V.
-
oh my. i like your interpretation better. i'm now trying to recall if there are owls in watership down, but i'm not nearly done with the book yet.
-
This is the best performance of the song so far for me. Even better than the ones in WCU
And seriously, Stevie can harmonize with anyone.
And I think it's I thought I heard your voice in the thunder, it's the owl casting spells that we're under
-
To me it sounds like it's the owl casting spells that we're under
I love what Stevie says, so sweet. :)
-
I think it's a question.
"Is the"
=P
guess we were lucky that she slowed it down a tiny bit for Stevie. ;D
-
That line is kinda tonguetwister lol. I think we will only know when we have official lyrics.
I do hear thunder too :))
-
*listens to the recording again*
Yep, I'm pretty sure I hear I thought I heard your voice in the thunder, it's the owl casting spells that we're under
-
Ha! I was watching the video and my ears caught that bit and drove me here.
:P
I think it's "I thought I heard your voice in the thunder, is the hour casting spells that we're under?"
-
"Hour" makes more sense, yeah. I think you're right.
-
It does make more sense haha but I still hear owl lol
-
pardon my not knowing,... but.... do owls eat rabbits?
-
I think they could, like baby rabbits I don't think they would go for fully grown ones. But I think they usually stick to smaller animals. Not sure though but I think that's what I heard last haha
-
Through out the day I thought I had an epiphany that its not owl but rabbits.
I though I heard your voice in the thunder,
Is the rabbit casting spells that we're under?
But its definitely a an hour/owl rhymey kinda word. I checked up with Watership Down maybe if there was an owl casting spells. But meh... now that the website's got that fancy video... This is just amateur discussion ;-)
-
That line is kinda tonguetwister lol. I think we will only know when we have official lyrics.
I do hear thunder too :))
yes, I FINALLY hear thunder. lol. I think hour makes more sense than owl but I totally hear owl. On second thought, owl would make sense too because of the rabbit theme and they are kind of mystical night creatures.. I don't know if they are in watership down. I looked up owls and some can eat animals as large as themselves, some have been known to eat domestic dogs, so I don't think eating a rabbit is out of the question.
-
The more I listen to Carousel the more I like it. It is one of those songs that just continues to grow on you. :) The version with Stevie is awesome.
-
Ha! I was watching the video and my ears caught that bit and drove me here.
:P
I think it's "I thought I heard your voice in the thunder, is the hour casting spells that we're under?"
You're the closest one, I think. (: Congratulations for figuring it out.
-
I've been trying to what Stevie says instead of Vanessa, I'm hearing owl, not hour.
-
If only we could see through the paper Stevie is holding....

if you listen to the older recordings, especially the Western Carolina University recording, it kind of does sound like "hour" the first time she says it.
however, upon several listens, I think it's just the way she pronounced it ow-wuull
I've been leaning more towards it being owl both times she says it -- for all 3 performances that we have recorded of this song.

As much as I love hearing 'hour' in it, I could definitely 'owl' too at other recordings.
But I still like 'hour' better.
-
I just realized that the "riff" is just the C octave in arpeggio!! That is just so easy, why didn't I think of it? I guess I'm not Vanessa =P
-
So I FINALLY got around to watching that video if Stevie's performance with V. How sweet was Stevie's intro??? I wanted to hug her myself. Although I'm SO JEALOUS she gets to listen to the album already and we don't! Argh. But anyway, I definitely heard "is the owl casting spells that we're under?" the second time, not so sure about the first.

Never too late to change the pace
Somehow the days creep up on you
But the goodness is something you don't have to chase
'Cos it's following you
^ That's what I hear in the latest version. Anyone else? o_O

Ah yeah, you're right. Thanks! :)

with the new videos of sunset sessions, i think the last chorus is
"it's in the music,
and beauty stands before you."
instead of until.

I was thinking about words yesterday. I often times mess up my words when I speak. Sometimes I say the wrong thing, even though I'm thinking the right thing. Or I will combine two words together. Or I will say them with a southern accent (not on purpose). My husband will often make fun of me for this. But I bring it up because, I wonder if anyone else has this problem or quirk (or if I am just that messed up). If so, maybe Vanessa is one of these people and so it stands to reason that each time she sings a song, a word or two might be mixed up or sung wrong or she decides to change it. Especially with live performances, it makes sesne that words might be a little different each time or that an inflection is different each time and therefore sounds different to us. Just a thought on words, and maybe we shouldn't get too hung up on what was sung or not sung..

I get this too. Sometimes, when I'm thinking ahead and talking at the same time, I'll get mixed up and mess up eventhough I know exactly what I meant to say. Also when im nervous this happens. Maybe Vanessa is like that too. I mean, I imagine she is quite nervous up there. Besides, one or two words in this context don't change the song or it's meaning. :)

Good, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one, and yes, it does get more pronounced when I'm nervous. I agree, most of the time it doesn't change the meaning.

wooopsss. I took them from this thread! I guess She changed them :-\ I dont have a very good ear

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUvCTUVWtGk
Did she change the words? Or is my hearing super messed up?
-
sure you already all know:
@VCarltonIndo Vanessa Carlton Indo
IT'S CONFIRMED! 'Carousel' music video has finished shooting! Thanks @kdengs ! *happy happy happy*
-
Thanks for that! So excited. (:
;D
I'm getting a feeling that it will be soo awesome. I mean, she IS Vanessa Carlton. ;D
-
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
-
With the official release, does anybody has the lyrics more clear? :D :D
-
I think she says "It's in the music" on the last chorus??
-
I think she says "It's in the music" on the last chorus??
I heard that too!!
-
I think she says "It's in the music" on the last chorus??
yeah, definetly it's not "until". i said it was "it's in" but... yeah haha
-
how about the bridge? i still think "the owl" is too weird. like... what? owl?
-
I think she says "It's in the music" on the last chorus??
I heard that too!!
I always thought it was and didn't realize others thought it wasn't (I guess I didn't read the thread closely). I didn't bother disputing the fact though, I know my hearing is not always on point.
-
I've listened to the studio version so many times now, and I think it's funny that after 121 listens, I finally took notice that there's some light background whistling going on over the Oooo Oooooo's and around the 'I thought I heard your voice in the thunder' part
interesting. ;D
-
Do you guys think there is a metaphor behind the 'carousel'?!?!? There is something on my head... mhmmmm ;D

I always felt it was a metaphor for life/life cycle and karma in a way. Everything in life will come back around. You'll have love, then loss and sadness, but you will find love again whether it's in another person, or learning to love yourself. that's just my initial feeling of the song.
-

lol I don't think she can make it any more obvious..
"it's a carousel"
all I hear is the music
beauty stands before me
love comes back around again.
carousels are beautiful, spin and play music. simple.
...the metaphor is your love life. or just your life in general in regards to "all you broken-hearted lovers lost"

THis is definitely what it means to me too! The line "love comes back around again" is very powerful for me! It's amazing how Vanessa's lyrics connect with you at different times in your life! <3

IN MY OPINION
When you ride a carousel you get on a horse! (most of them are horses aren't they!??!)
Then the ride its over :'(
Then you can get on it again and ride another one! ;D
and just enjoy the trip!
So, during the trip I found love, but now it's over. I dont know where the next horse (chapter) is gonna take me :D
It's like the circle of 'life' It keeps going!
-
Very well said! This is so true!
-
Very well said! This is so true!
I should listen to what I say more often :D
-

Yes, that's probably what it means. :) The "broken-hearted lovers lost, go find another one" part makes the meaning clearer.
-
Hmm. In the "owl" part, I hear either "owl" or "HOUR", which makes more sense with the song.. "It's the hour casting spells that we're under."
-
I hear (and have always heard), "Is the owl casting spells that we're under?" The "voice in the thunder" part makes me believe that she can't quite believe what she's hearing (a voice in the thunder), so she's asking has the owl cast a spell to make her hear that voice.

But why an owl? O: She references time earlier in the song, so I thought hour fit better. xD; Then again, with the children's choir and their catchy ooh moaning, it could represent an owl? xD

The music video will be in the woods ::) There are abunch of owls in there!!

I think we also have to keep in mind some of her influences for the album which in includes Watership down. I have never read it but others have and they say it's about a rabbit society. So going with that theme I can guess there may be an owl in the book (is there?) Even if there isn't the owl feeds on rabbits, so for the rabbits not to get eaten they have to be back 'home' on time, if they are late they might be eaten! Can't you just picture rabbits running from owls?

I had the exaaaaactlly same thought today while listening to the song and walking down the streeet. But tbh i havent read the book and i thought maybe someone in here did (i forgot to ask tho :D)
-
I think we should read the book so we can get familiar with these whole thing about rabbits. :D
but there are diferent version. I just search for it on ebay!! Or is it just the cover that is different?!
-
I think we should read the book so we can get familiar with these whole thing about rabbits. :D
I read it as a child.. I don't remember any owls, but I could be wrong. There's a brushfire and then lots of hunter's traps, though.
-
I think we should read the book so we can get familiar with these whole thing about rabbits. :D
I planned on it. And the other book by Steven Hawking, but I'm sure that will take a long time for me to read.

-
I read it as soon as I heard it was an inspiration to this album. It's really good and I recommend it to everyone. There's Watership Down and then there's Tales From Watership Down. There are different colored covers for Watership Down though. As for the owl and hour thing, I think she said owl. It would just make more sence to me to say owl

I don't hear that (haha) but I do hear the choir both singing the bridge and some 'ahhh ahh' type stuff.
-
I just found Watership Down on my bookshelf today! Weird!! I am definitely going to read it before the album is released. I finished 'A brief history of time' a couple months ago. One word. Wow...

Is it a hard read? I figure that it's one of those that I would need to read the paragraph/sentence a few times in order to comprehend.
-
It is a pretty tough read to be quite honest. I struggled in parts! It was very interesting though and it's well worth persevering through!

album version:
For all you broken hearted lovers lost
Go find another one
'Cause you know time won't wait and you'll be late
White rabbits on the run
It's hard to know what's good for you
I know she let you down
But the fever breaks when it's too much to take
So you can put your weapons down
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
Never too late to change the pace
Oh how the days creep up on you
But the goodness is something you don't have to chase
'Cause it's following you
And all you'll hear is the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
oo, Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo, oo, Oo
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Is the owl casting spells that we're under?
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Is the owl casting spells that we're under?
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Is the owl casting spells that we're under?
I thought I heard your voice in the thunder
Is the owl casting spells that we're under?
Under
Oo
And all I hear is the music
And beauty stands before me
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, my friend
It's in the music
And beauty stands before you
And love comes back around again
It's a carousel, a carousel
It's a carousel, my friend, oo
Time won't wait, so don't be late
White rabbits on the run

The line "I know she let you down" is really, really soothing...
-
The line "I know she let you down" is really, really soothing...
I still hear "And know she'll let you down" but oh well :D
-
That's what I heard at first too, when I heard the 'real' lyrics it took on much more significance for me :D

Ok, so this could be the delirium talking because I haven't slept, but I have new thoughts on these lyrics. I always thought of this as her singing to someone else, someone external. But I thought just now, and especially with the video -- is she talking to herself? what I mean is that is seems like she is telling herself all these things --that it's not too late to change the pace, that love will come back to her, and that beauty surrounds her and is inside of her. The lyric "I know she let you down" still works, one because she is bisexual, and two, she could still be talking about herself -- her old self, that she who got off track and was letting herself down. The song has taken on a new meaning for me of self affirmation or self lullaby to reassure herself that it will all be ok and that love will come back to her as long as she keeps putting it out there and as long as she keeps recognizing the beauty around and inside of her.
during the last part of the song where she interchanges "I" instead of "you" ("all I hear is the music") seems to affirm all that she was telling herself during the song.
This probably won't make sense.. sorry for rambling.!

I was listening to the live version from Kean university and I heard something I never heard before -- a clap clap in the "oo oo oo" at the beginning of the bridge! I had never heard it before. I don't know if it's just a coincidence like someone moving their chair, but there is clearly some sort of clap clap during that part. I couldn't believe it as I had never noticed it before! (and I hear it really well the first time, and not so well the second) Has anyone else heard this before now? I thought the claps were something new but apparently it was in her head the whole time.
I was also thinking about the bridge a little more and I like how she repeats it more in the album version -- it reminds me of chanting, which fits really well with the whole spells theme and the campfire/night scene in the video. This song and video are becoming like a religious experience for me. Very spiritual and inspiring.

Well, I heard the clap-clap you mentioned in that recording. I think it was Ari tapping his guitar.

I don't know if it's just a coincidence like someone moving their chair, but there is clearly some sort of clap clap during that part. I couldn't believe it as I had never noticed it before! (and I hear it really well the first time, and not so well the second) Has anyone else heard this before now? I thought the claps were something new but apparently it was in her head the whole time.
I was also thinking about the bridge a little more and I like how she repeats it more in the album version -- it reminds me of chanting, which fits really well with the whole spells theme and the campfire/night scene in the video. This song and video are becoming like a religious experience for me. Very spiritual and inspiring.
Well, I heard the clap-clap you mentioned in that recording. I think it was Ari tapping his guitar.
i had never even noticed it before...had you?
Well, yeah. But I thought it was just not a big deal.
Until the studio version, that is.

Has anyone put up a tutorial for Carousel on youtube? Sadly, it's the only way I learn songs on the piano haha.

I've received quests for a tutorial, but I'm a little wary of making one now. I sound so nasally with these accursed allergies.

I don't know if this has been posted, but I found it so I thought I'd post. It's just a Stevie Nicks fan discussion on Carousel.
Mostly it's a discussion on this mysterious "drop dead gorgeous nephew."

I told myself I wasn't going to read any more boards about her.. but I read it. at least they use qualifiers like "i think" and the such and don't state it as absolute fact. Fair opinions, they also weren't too keen on Stevie singing with anyone else, let alone Vanessa. to each his/her own I suppose!

Yeah, I didn't think they were mean, although "I don't get this Vanessa Carlton thing" kind of annoyed me.

Lol! I get really annoyed/offended whenever I play a V song for a friend and they don't like it. I have one friend that can be considered somewhat of a Vanessa fan, although she's more into V's ~mainstream~ tracks, like 'A Thousand Miles' and 'Nolita Fairytale'. Anyway, I called her up when I saw the Soundcloud account with the snippets from RotR and made her listen to all the tracks, one by one. She was really unimpressed and complained about the 'low and cheap quality' of the audio. I had to explain the whole analog thing to her. I got so angry! I know I shouldn't, and to each his own, I guess...but I can't help but shove Vanessa and her music down my friends and family's throats. I want them to comprehend the complete and utter amazingness (not a word, I know. Whatever.) that is Vanessa Carlton and her music. :'(

aww, that's too bad about your friend. I just try to remember that it's their loss! When I talk about her/the album at work people look at me like I have five heads. Oh, and making up words is allowed. My husband made one up for me : nessaholicking. That is when I'm online in the forums :)

is it possible she says
"it's the owl" instead of "is the owl"
