Title: Vanessa Carlton Explores Mumford & Sons' "Cave"
Post by: Harmonium on July 25, 2011, 06:44:46 am
Vanessa on Mashup Mondays.
Awsome cover!!! Also a beautiful performance of Carousel!

"I like the Mumford and Sons song because it's very simple and lovely and almost like a little bit of a nursery rhyme," singer/songwriter/pianist Carlton says of why she chose to cover the UK band's song. "It says a lot about life."

Though she usually works in the a soft poppy vein while Mumford hits the sweet spot of modern rootsy folk/rock, both artists have chart success. Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" scored the No. 1 spot on Pop Songs in 2002, while Mumford's 2010 song "The Cave" earned the No. 2 spot on Rock Songs.

Carlton is busy doing more than mashups these days. The 30-year-old Pennsylvannia native's brand new album, "Rabbits On The Run" is out July 26.

This is HILARIOUS.

I JUST posted a new thread about the band on the "Other Musicians" thread.

I LOVE this band.

I can't see the video. They are saying that the video is no longer available? HELP.

She did a good job. But it wasn't awesome. I just think she should have chosen a better song. There are other songs that I think she could have done. But it wasn't bad. :) as isaid b4, she needs smiles!!!!! Vanessa smile more!!! It looks lovely when you do!!!! :)

edit: I listened to the original song, and didn't really like it much... so i guess that's it. :)

I like it a lot.  Ari got a new hair cut since the last time I saw them in NYC.  Usually she looks at him more while she's singing, she didn't this time but the lines she sings when she does... coincidental? hmmm..

So, she looks at him when she sings some lines? Then when she isn't singing any lines she doesn't look at him. Is that basically what you said... lol i'm kinda confused at what you're saying  ;)

[edit] referring to the cover (love the original, too, now the two versions are gonna be battling for my affections), but this is my favorite acoustic version of "carousel" too. glowing.

I hadn't heard the original song before.  I enjoyed VC's cover and the original they played.

I listen to satellite radio from time to time, and this is the one song on the "Hits" channel that I actually like (Everything else? Dear Lord, I usually need an ambulance for my ears) so when I saw this video I got excited. She covered it very well.


Thanks for the MP3!

the lines she sings when she looks at him during the song.  Usually she looks at him a lot.  this time only twice and the meaning of the lyric while she does decide to look at him is interesting.

It seems like she looks his way to make sure he's following along? I can't tell if it's affectionate or anything. Hope not! I personally think she'd look better with Skye. He's adorable. But taken, unfortunately :/
