I found these titles on BMI.com:
IT'S NOW
SUMMER CHILD
UNDERNEATH
Vanessa is listed as a songwriter along with the three Matrix songwriters.
While I respect the success of these guys, I have to admit that I'm a little queasy. She certainly didn't need them for ATM or OD, and indeed, those songs wipe the floor with anything the Matrix has created. Still, I'll reserve my judgment until I hear the finished tracks.
Here is what I found on a search. It may or may not be complete. An interesting list of songs!

Fontvella? :?

Fontvella? :?
Me, too....not familiar with that. Also note the absence, at least at this point, of the 3 newest songs.
Apologies for some of my strong words in my previous post. For all I know, the Matrix songs are old or never to be used.
Dan/NS

Could Fontvella be the song in Pleased to Meet you?

LoL wasn't somebody saying they thought the new CD would be called "Fontella" ?

That was actually me, it was a dream I had. I dreamed that she had named her 3rd album Fontella, and I couldn't remember where I had heard the name from....hmm...interesting, so who is the Matrix by the way?

wow, thats really weird / cool

awesome!

'Be not Nobody' came to Vanessa in a dream, so it's not that farfetched.
Are we talking about the same Matrix that wrote with Avril Lavigne???

Every song on Harmonium is marked with the number 72XXXXXX and those three other songs is marked 75XXXXXX. They must be later recorded songs...

Yeah, the Matrix are that super "omgz we make huge pop hits" group. They worked with Avril Lavigne on her first album and with Liz Phair on her latest effort. All the singles that Avril released from her first album were written by the Matrix actually. Oh, and they worked with Britney Spears on her last album too if I recall correctly. Heh.
If Vanessa wants to make a comeback... the Matrix are no doubt the way to go, but... hrm. I have mixed feelings about the Matrix.

7532080 Summer Child
"A Thousand Miles" seems to stick out early, which is odd, but the list seems to go in almost perfect chronological order. Mind you, perhaps not in order as they were written, but probably in the order in which they were submitted to BMI by Vanessa for licensing. If this is true, it would certainly mean that "It's Now", "Underneath", and "Summer Child" are brand new, especially as the latest Work Number in the database as of today is 7705632, "That's How Close We Are" by One Twelve.

Thank you! I left those out. Gonna make sure they're over on the O-board.
By the way, I'm sort of regretful about posting these songs. I didn't do it as an "expose" or any kind of dis. I DO like some of the Matrix' work, but I felt it was more appropriate with those who may be great performers but not necessarily songwriters(Lavigne, Aguilera, Spears)...NOT Vanessa.
Vanessa needs a label that believes in her, not a conglomerate.
Hey, it could be worse! John Shanks as producer, anyone? (again, someone I respect, but not for VC).
Dan/NS
-
Agreed. John Shanks... Ashlee Simpson. *Shudders*
I'm actually glad to see Linda Perry producing Vanessa's album. At least, that's what she said in her last post on the o-board right? I'm not delussional am I? :?
-
Lol, yes Vanessa really did say that LP would be producing her album.
Um, if I had my say, I'd really prefer that Vanessa not work with the Matrix. She's so much better than that, you know? She doesn't need them. I just hope that if there are some Matrix songs on the new album, that they're not too icky poppy.
-
You guys are forgetting something. This is VANESSA we are talking about. If she wants to work with the Matrix, I trust her judgement. Besides, she makes music for HERSELF. We just happen to like it, too. So if she wants to work with John Shanks or the Matrix or Linda Perry or Britney Spears or WHOEVER, it is because she wants to and that's what's important.

Sorry, I don't agree with you. The Matrix makes cookie-cutter pop, and while they are damn good at what they do, their songwriting leaves plenty to be desired.
I doubt they have the talent or inspiration to come up with a song like "Annie", for example. And I'm sure they would have loved to have written ATM.
If Vanessa feels that she must move in the Matrix direction, then that's what she'll do. I'm sure she would succeed. But then, I couldn't take her as seriously as before. :(

I thinjk the titles are sounding realy interesting, but is that a real thing or could that be a fault like Watch me shine or Along for the ride. I realy don't know. Sombody else, maybe?

is she now writing with john shanks or his he a part of the Matrix or why are we discussing about him?

I totally feel you, Shannon. I can write great lyrics, but I suck at melody and I'd KILL to write with John Shanks.

Well, I have faith in Vanessa. No one is perfect and sometimes they need help to come up with great stuff.
And as far as the inspiration and talent that went into Annie, Nessa meeting Victoria was the inspiration but she did not write the lyrics to that song. Or Who's To Say. Or White Houses. Or most of Private Radio. But you still take her seriously?
-
She didn't write the lyrics at all???
-
Ehm, she co-wrote those songs with stephen...

A Thousand Miles was written way way before the other stuff on BnN from what i know. So thats why its registered earlier.
-
well, i think that vanessa don´t need them to make good music, but they are good and i´m very curious about it.
-
She didn't write the lyrics at all???
I'm sure she assisted but I can tell you that the majority of those lyrics were written by Stephan.
-

How do you know that...?
-
Number one, he's credited to have helped write those songs. Number two, he doesn't play piano so he didn't write the piano part. Number three, I'm a huge Third Eye Blind fan and it's obvious to me what Stephan wrote and what he didn't. Number four, lyrically, those songs are MUCH different from the ones Vanessa wrote herself.
-
They co-wrote those songs. You can even see in "pleased to meet you" when they are working with "who's to say" togheter. Stephen didn't write all of those lyrics himself... And you say that he wrote annie, white houses, who's to say and most of the parts on private radio. So what if you are a huge third eye blind fan. You have nothing to confirm that this is true...

Why it matters that I'm a huge fan is because I know how to recognize his writing style.
Honestly, Vanessa can cowrite with whoever she wants. If she wants to let other people write parts, she can. It's her music. Get over it, she doesn't have to do it ALL herself. It's like you're just in denial or something. She is not a musical genious; she is not a goddess. She is just a nice girl who likes to sing and play piano and some people like listening to her.

Did I say that i wanted her to to everything herself? No.. I told you that i thought you where wrong when you said that Stephen wrote all of those songs "Himself"...

I'm with Harmonium on this. Apart from having been a fly on the wall during the writing/pre-production/recording process, there is no way anyone could know FOR SURE. As a 3rd/SJ fan, you have an edge over non SJ fans in recognizing his style, but what you may think is an SJ line could just be his influence on her. It happens when ppl work together for so long.

You don't see the extreme difference in lyrical styles between those songs and the rest of Harmonium and BNN?

-

Sure! I also hear differences in the drum sound and the use of major seventh chords, but that's not what I'm talking about. The best one can do outside of Vanessa and Stephan is INFER that a lyric(or chord) is from one or the other.
Are you correct? Probably, but not enough to "know" it for a fact. I'm not saying you are definitely incorrect, it's that, in the process of writing songs and producing, things get melded together.
Hell, the engineer at the session could have suggested a lyric or structural change. There is no way to know for sure...that is my only point.
Dan/NS
-
I was also told by 3eb's management that Stephan wrote those songs. But whatever. It doesn't matter, you can believe what you want.
-
Well I would have to say that Vanessa's writing style has changed just a tad, listen to her recent live songs and you'll see why. I don't think it is safe to say that Stephen wrote most of the songs on the songs he co-wrote with her, you have to realize that the songs Vanessa wrote herself were older than the ones with Stephan, this being because she played them live and stated she was writing new songs before they came out. I have to say that it is possible he could have highly influenced her writing style, they are dating so it is likely, and knowing how Vanessa is, she probably wrote most of them, she doesn't like co-writing, and I assume that she wouldn't want some-one contributing more than herself on one of her songs.
But that's just me.
-
I was also told by 3eb's management that Stephan wrote those songs. But whatever. It doesn't matter, you can believe what you want.
First you say you can recognize SJ's style, then you say you were told by 3eb's management......so which is it? And what would you expect THEIR management to say, anyway?
For me, it's at best a curiosity who wrote what. The differences stick out more to you than I. For me, I think there is quite a blend, which to me is a sign of a great producer. Mind you, I'm not a 3eb fan, but I've been a fan of music long enough to recognize that while the lyrics got a bit deeper on Harmonium, the songs did not make a serious left turn that would confuse the songs with that of Elvis Costello or Neil Finn.
Do I believe that SJ wrote the majority of the songs on which they collaborated? No. My gut instinct is that he wrote a bridge here, a chord there, etc., which an album producer often does. And he deserves credit for that. Add to this that they were a couple and most certainly influenced each other, likely played chord sequences to each other, and that is what you get....a collaboration. The songs fit right next to the other VC songs, yet are different enough to make one say "F**K! I had no idea there could be so much variety on a modern pop album!"
Stephan did a f-ing brilliant job with this album, and it was a tragedy that it was overlooked. I don't know what he wrote or didn't write. I do know that this was one of his finest moments on all fronts.

I CAN recognize his style. It was later, when someone in 3eb's management was ASKED about it, that it was confirmed. And it wouldn't matter to their management either way. In fact, 3eb fans were irritated by SJ's work on Nessa's album and his lack of commitment to 3eb, so it was really the last thing 3eb fans wanted to hear.

That's interesting. I had no idea. I always thought that 3eb WAS Stephan, if you get me. My impression is that Elektra mishandled Vein(and everyone is bailing from that label, even Metallica). The stuff I heard on the VC tour was pretty damn good!
I can understand the fans' sentiments, but SJ is too good a producer to do 100% 3eb. Perhaps he can return with a fresher perspective after having done Harmonium.

Whose name appears first in the songwriting credits? That order of appearance matters. Every artist wants credit for their work. The person most responsible for/with the most impact on the creation of the song comes first, and on down the line. I always assumed that because Nessa's name came first that she was the principal writer. Just a thought...but what do I know, really?

This isn't always true. All songs written by either John Lennon or Paul McCartney during the Beatles era were always credited to John Lennon and Paul McCartney, in that order, whether or not both had made any contribution to the composition.
-
Nessa's name appears first, but Carlton also comes before Jenkins in the alphabet.

Zurielshimon is correct. Also, look at bands where all members are credited as songwriters(like REM or Van Halen). Sure, there is a financial incentive, but also there's a value in having everyone in the band get along!
I think people would be surprised if they knew that some of the people listed as songwriters had zilch to do with the song's creation. Similarly, I have a CD where the primary songwriter was left off entirely!

I see you people like to argue about insignificant shit... well 'insignificant' is not the proper term to be used here, more like IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE!
However
Harmonium is something c o m p l e t e l y different than Third Eye Blinds 'Third Eye Blind', 'Blue' or 'Out of the Vein'.... especially concidering that these three albums are very similar in terms of style. So there is no need to worry, Harmonium is Vanessas album (with the score of minimum60/40) and let Steven have his taste of artistic glory and commercial failure... if he needs it.

Hmmm...I guess this means that you like to read, and then respond to, insignificant shit?(LOL) But I agree with you....this thread has gone just a tad off the deep end. Trying to determine who wrote what is futile.
Ultimately, I don't care. It's a good album. Leave it at that.
