Title: Songs you'd like to see get a "face-lift"
Post by: Arwen on July 29, 2011, 06:49:21 am
By face-lift, I mean how V has been taking older songs of hers lately at shows and recreating them in a sense to where they are much softer and the essence of the song is intact (i.e. Fools Like Me). I would love to hear her do this to Pretty Baby on the Rhodes.

Good question :) I would like to see Come Undone, as far as I know she have never done that song live. And I think it would sound sweet, stripped down on rhodes.

Honestly, and especially since she has mentioned something about her new works reminding her of her old demo tape works, I would LOVE to see a re-made or rendition of one of her older demo tape songs.

you know, one that isn't also from Be not Nobody.  :)



soooooooooooo dying to hear a remade version of ANY of those!!

I wanna hear "Superhero", "Afterglow", "Unsung", "Twilight" and "Come Undone".

Deffo! can you imagine a new rendition of "little mary" or "Meggie sue" with the new ROTR soft ethereal production and vocals. To this day the "never knowing where you're going but still living every moment that counts"  in Meggie sue is one of my favourite Vanessa moments.

I am imagining Best Behavior on the Rhodes right now... I think it would sound great with the airy vocals and stuff.... haha... :)

I agree. I'd love to hear a bit mellow of it.

All is Well.  I still think it should've been put onto an album. It's absolutely lovely.

I agree with Morning Sting and Best Behavior. I would also like to see Amriteen get a "face-lift" I like the sound but I can't really understand what she is saying because of the recording.

I wonder what 'Faces' would sound like...

agree agree!! All is well too. The ameriteen one, yeah, the quality really sucks. but you do can understand what she sings. not that bad in that matter.

Tbh, i would like to hear other versions from H&T...Fools like me for example. I'm really not that fond of the production on that album :C

Paradise
Afterglow
Annie
Twilight
Rinse
Swindler
Spring Street

Is anyone else a fan of Spring Street? Because it almost reduces me to tears everytime I listen to it; like no other song. It's just so beautiful yet heartbreaking.
Spring Street and Afterglow could be my favorite tbh

Spring Street is my fav song off H&T but it seems like she must not really like it b/c she never plays it live. I don't think she EVER has, but I could be wrong... so that would be my 1st choice, then "Wanted" and possibly "Superhero"

She should've kept the outro from the demo on Wanted!! it's total badassery!

Meggie Sue.

That song is like a siren call. Wanna hear it maybe with some violin-ey strings? Make it a tad bit more haunting ;-)

Come Undone - I think with her new light aura, V would do very great with this song. Besides, I really want to hear it live.

Best Behavior - needless to say, this needs to have a decent recording.

Afterglow - need to revive this from the Harmonium era.

More Than This - if what V plans would work out right, this would sound very great with the school choir in her fall tour.

Pretty Baby- love the 2008 live version in Manila

My Best- The live version was fantastic and the album version was just good

Best Behavior- please please record this song

Birdie- make the lyrics better but the melodies were great : )

Actually, if that recording was much better, PB would be my favorite.

In Philly, there's a Spring Street too :) There are 2 other season streets too but can't remember which one of summer, winter or fall/autumn was left out (or just wasn't on my way)

I'd like to see 'Who's To Say' get a 'face-lift'. Hahaha what a brilliant question. She has been stripping them down lately. It's just part of her new style. She's gone very acoustic after Rabbits.

i know this isnt a face-lift, but i was listening to fairweather friend id like to hear an acoustic version of that

Haha, it's funny cuz instead I hearing her older songs performed in her new style, I'd want to hear her newer songs performed in her older style - specifically the Heroes & Thieves era.  I'm a fan of big pop production, so while I definitely appreciate ROTR for what it is, I would LOVE to hear some of those songs a little "bigger."  Namely, Carousel, Bride, Fairweather Friend, and Dear California.

Although I think it would be really cool to hear Ordinary Day, ATM, and White Houses in her new style, just to hear how it would sound different.

I was thinking that too the other day! Preferably i like her current stuff than BNN.

also, i wish she would do a studio version of Best Behavior
