Start thanking me :lol: because here are the lyrics and audio to Vanessa's brand new song, "All is Well" that she premiered last night at The Palms in Melbourne.
Thanks to Sammy (uncertainterms) for helping me with this! :)
Go here http://forums.nessaholics.com/viewtopic.php?t=1123&start=15 for the setlist... I have audio of the rest of the show, except for Ordinary Day. If anyone wants to hear the other songs, let me know and I'll post them tomorrow.
I typed out the talking bit at the start, and with the lyrics, the "......"'s is obviously where I couldn't figure it out.
Enjoy!!
(by the way, the quality isn't fantastic, probably because I was using my mp3 from inside my bag coz I didn't want to get caught.)

"I just realised as I introduced that segment of the show as all these new songs that most of you don’t know any of these other songs and I really appreciate you coming. I think a lot of people only know one song of mine, or they know my first record. I’m quite impressed because a lot of you kind of knew some of the songs from my second record and um, I just totally contradicted myself. Anyway, for the people who know the songs, thankyou, and I promise the next record you’ll know, and I’ll be back and when I start singing you’ll hear me.
So this is actually just a total premiere, I’ve never played this in any country, in any place, except the studio and the chances of me just totally fucking up are just so high, that’s just the theme for the evening, so I just hope you’ll be forgiving. But it actually might be one of my favourite songs on the record and it’s a bit dark and weird but I had this realisation recently in my life that I think I find comfort in feeling down, which is always a bad sign, but there’s something comforting about it and for the past year or so, you know, everything’s being going so well and I’ve been so happy and I’ve been so confused and I, and I kinda got a little bored I guess.
Um I use the metaphor in the first line of the song is 'I always sleep so much better when it’s raining' and I think a lot of people feel that way but I thought it was really a metaphor for feeling comfy in the dark, grey moments. And this song is called "All is Well", and god help me."

...VC goes to play the song then messes up straight away :razz:
LYRICS
ALL IS WELL
I always sleep so much better when it’s raining
There’s something bout the rhythm as the water hits the pane
I could stay in bed all god damn day and sweetly waste away
Cos I’m blind to all the good you see and prefer a fine tragedy
When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay and me listen, cos it already is
Ooh
….. and summer fades
I miss….
… colour, autumn days appear in my view
cos this …. the splendor that’s been staring me in my face
and the spectrum of colours that just turns into blue
When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay and me listen cos it already is
and it’s all true and good and….
cos you see through the tears
and they come every night
when reason’s meaning why
ah
When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay, and me listen cos it already,
All is well I know when I see you
you don’t need to tell me it’s okay
cos I believe that it already is
already is
already is
I always sleep so much better when it’s raining.

NEW COMPLETE LYRICS
I always sleep so much better when it’s raining
There’s something 'bout the rhythm as the water hits the pane
I could stay in bed all God damn day, and sweetly waste away
'Cause I’m blind to all the good you see, and prefer a fine tragedy
When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay, and me listen, 'cause it already is
Oh
The air grows thin as summer fades
I miss, I change
The old crisp and color autumn days appear in my view
'cause this blue, you caught the splendor that’s been staring me in my face
and the spectrum of the colors just change into blue
When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay, and me listen, 'cause it already is
and it’s all true, and good and merry
'cause you see through the tears
and they come every night
without reason meaning why
ah oh oh
When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay, and me listen, cause it already,
All is well, and I know it, when I see you
you don’t need to tell me it’s okay
cause I believe that it already is
already is
already is
I always sleep so much better when it’s raining
:D
O_O
amazing!
Thank you so much!
waking up to this totally made my day.
<3
I'll be trying to figure out all the lyrics, obviously... it could take a while, and i probally wont get them right, but its a fun way to learn the new song and take time enjoying it over and over again.
(if i get anywhere i'll post it here)
*done ^ check it out.
------------------...yeah just a few changes, nothing that mattered, lol---
"I just realised that as I introduced that segment of the show as all
these new songs that most of you don’t know any of these other songs
and I really appreciate you coming. this way I think a lot of people only know one song of mine,
or they know my first record. I’m quite impressed because a lot of you kind of knew some
of the songs from my second record and um, I just totally contradicted myself. but Anyway,
for the people that know the songs, thank you, and I promise the next record you’ll know,
and I’ll be back and when I start singing, they’ll hear me.
So this is actually just a total premiere, I’ve never played this in any country,
in any place, except in the studio and the chances of me just totally fucking up the song
are so high, that’s just the theme for the evening, so I just hope you’re forgiving.
But it actually might be one of my favourite songs on the record and it kind of --
it’s a bit dark
and weird but I had this realisation recently in my life that really like --
I think I find comfort
in feeling down, which is always a bad sign, but there’s something comforting about it, and you know,
for the past year or so, I just -- everything’s being going so well and I’ve
been so happy and I’ve been so confused by it, and I, and I kinda got a little bored I guess.

when it’s raining' and I think a lot of people feel that way but I thought it was
really a metaphor for kind of feeling comfy in the dark, grey moments. And this song is called
"All is Well", and god help me. shit, i already messed up, hold on"

Half a Week Before the Winter

-
-bows- Thank you, thank you, thank you! This song is amazing! It's my new favorite of her new songs.
-
Super-duper-uber THANKS!!!!
I'd love to hear the rest of the concert. Sometimes I think I enjoy her talks between songs as much as the music.
The lyrics of the new song resemble "Only Happy When It Rains" by Garbage, but the music is obviously way different (and way kick-ass) and I think Vanessa's song is deeper. She adds another layer to it. Instead of just singing about feeling something's missing when she's too happy, she adds that stuff about having someone there that understands the way she feels and that it's okay to be happy.
She called this song dark, but I'm not sure I completely agree with that. It's more 50/50, like "Twilight." It's got dark subject matter, but the overall message is uplifting, not tragic. I know it's her song and it is whatever she says it is, but I've heard much darker stuff from her and if this is what qualifies as dark, then she's changed a little.
I LOVE all the new songs, but I hope there are at least a couple on the next album that are purely dark like "Paradise," "She Floats," "The Wreckage," "Half A Week Before The Winter," you get my drift.
I hope Vanessa's album gets released by about Fall. That way, I'll just about be getting off of my Wreckers high over the Summer and I'll have a brand new Vanessa album to shoot me straight up again! :D
-
I posted in the wrong "new song" thread... but could you upload the rest of the concert, or at least Put Your Hands On Me and This Time? I would really appreciate it.... Thanks for "All Is Well"! Everyone here is so appreciative!
-
That song is Absolutely AMAZING! No i am even more excited for the next album!!
-
Oh, thank you! Thank you very, very much!
It's absolutely gorgeous. Both the music and the lyrics.
The new record is going to be amazing :D
-
:? I know it's totally off the topic sorta but this song reminds me of the dream i had like two nights ago that her new album was going to be called Harth and Dark Haven. But harth isn't even a word, Isn't that wierd?
-
WOW! Thanks for posting.. That defintiely blew me away. Did VC give anymore hints as to when her next album would be relaeased this year? I soooooo can't wait! Wonder what will be the first single..
-
Thank you!!! I love that! It's so beautiful. In some parts, the music slightly reminds me of "All I Ask." This album is going to be incredible.
-
and me listen,
this makes NO sense :?
-
I'm downloading the audio right now, but I'm not sure if I'll get to listen to it today because I'm going to have to leave soon and I don't have my headphones in here. Sounds like you all like it though, so I'm definitely going to have to listen! :D
-
i love this
the piano melody and the chorus reminds me of China
-
i think it sounds like a song from the animated movie Anastasia. lol.
i love this song though. it's fantastic. :D
-
and me listen,
this makes NO sense :?
sure it does. :wink:
-
ya.... ur right....and me listen does not make sense.......but whatever it still is beautiful.lol :D
-
You're all very welcome! :D
-
it's not perfect grammar, i think, but i think it makes sense.
if you could tell me it's okay, and [if i could] listen
*shrugs*
-
who knows, she could end up changing the lyrics. there was a small lyric change (another one) in phyom, and one in san francisco and i'm sure something else too...
-

Oooh, do you remember what the lyric change was in PYHOM?
-

*shrugs*
She doesn't always use correct grammar, I've noticed. Like in Annie she says "Years for you and I." When, it should be,(Unless I'm mistaken, which is a good chance) "Years for you and me."
Thought the incorrect grammar in All Is Well, I like it. It's amazingly pretty, almost like a lullaby.
-
this song is really different of the others songs, but is very cool :razz:
-
Thanks for the audio and lyric transcription! :D
-
What change did she make to PYHOM?
-
Thanks so much for the new song. Today's a good day!
-
What change did she make to PYHOM?
in the chorus:
"we crossed the deepest oceans
cargo arcoss the sea
and if you don't believe me
just put your hands on me
and all the constellation shine down for us to see..."
there maybe have been a change in the verse too, but i might be thinking of the wrong song.

-
It makes perfect sense! Take the following sentence:
If you get in trouble at school, and me find out about it, you're getting another whoopin' when you get home.
It perfect English, at least in Tennessee. I just didn't know someone from Pennsylvania would say the same thing.
-
i think it sounds like a song from the animated movie Anastasia. lol.
I thought the exact same thing, the first time I heard it :D . Not the lyrics thought, only the music.
-
could somebody please upload a yousendit link please please please? neither links work or me :(
-
i think it sounds like a song from the animated movie Anastasia. lol.
I thought the exact same thing, the first time I heard it :D . Not the lyrics thought, only the music.
I was thinking along the same lines too, but I thought that it sounded like something from anime.
-
can somebody upload the entire performance? I want to hear the lyric changes
-
Yea that would be sweet
-
The piano of the new music reminds me Elly k
-

I was thinking phantom of the opera for some reason lol. I like this one better than all the other new ones.
And thanks for the song. It's creepy how much I can relate to these lyrics. It's like Vanessa read my mind, then decided to perform the song. I can't stop listening to it. Funny how it's gonna start raining soon here to.

Hmm I don't know why the links aren't working anymore.
I will post the rest of the show SOON. Patience please!
If the links to All Is Well don't work for you, PM me (with your email address) and i'll send you the file.
-
I really love the sound of this new song; unfortunately, I haven't been able to follow the lyrics yet. Maybe tomorrow when I'm at school and have my headphones on. :D
-
the song reminds me of : Once Upon a December
-
I've finally gotten to listen to it, and for some strange reason, I like it. It's so dark and strange, and the more songs like this I hear, the less sane I believe Vanessa is, but in a good way because it adds such depth to her art. :wink:
-
I donN't know how she's able to write a song that totaly reflects my situation and how shes just able to forget all the pain for a little while. Probably thats the reason why i lov her so much. She's so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
This was totally awesome live tonight; the sound system lapped up the bass 8)
Also, Nessa mentioned something about how lucky we (Aussies) are to live in a
land like this, and that she's even considering re-locating here; such a tease :P
-
I'm completley in love with it.
& Yes it does have a very 'once upon a december' sound about it.
-
i'm glad i wasn't laughed at for saying that. :lol:
-
word...thanks. too bad the audio isn't all that great, but its cool to hear a new song after so long :)
-
i think it sounds like a song from the animated movie Anastasia. lol.
I thought the exact same thing, the first time I heard it :D . Not the lyrics thought, only the music.
That is exactly what I thought too 8O
-
thanks for the file bluebutterfly! :D
although im not really into this song. i find it boring, and tbh ive found her other new-ish songs a bit on the borin side. i hope the album itself will change my opinion :oops:

I always sleep so much better when it’s raining
There’s something 'bout the rhythm as the water hits the pane
I could stay in bed all God damn day, and sweetly waste away
'Cause I’m blind to all the good you see, and prefer a fine tragedy
When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay, and me listen, 'cause it already is
Oh
The air grows thin as summer fades
I miss, i taste
The crisp and color autumn days appear in my view
'cause it's true you caught the splendor that’s been staring me in my face
and the spectrum of the colors just change into blue
When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay, and me listen, 'cause it already is
I've been such a good ????
'cause you see through the tears
and they come every night
without reason meaning why
ah oh oh
When all is well I get nervous, something’s missing
If only you could tell me it’s okay, and me listen, cause it already,
All is well, and I know it, when I see you
you don’t need to tell me it’s okay

already is
already is

These songs are incredible.

*shrugs*
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-
who cares if it's not perfect grammar? :?
we still understand the meaning
-
thanks again for sharing, bluebutterfly!!
-
I think it might be something else in the line
The air grows thin as summer fades
Sadness i taste
The crisp and color autumn days appear in my view
'cause it's true you caught the splendor that’s been staring me in my face
and the spectrum of the colors just change into blue
that's what I hear....
-
Eeee!
i haven't been on the boards in forever
i came back to visit and see this new song.. SO EXCITED
but it seems those downloads are expired. :cry:
Please, is there anywhere else i can get this?
Thanks guys
-
I didn't even know that this song EVER HAPPENED. I love you
-
Before, some people were saying that "and me listen" makes NO sense and I totally agree, which is why I decided in my brain that it is in fact HELP me listen. Don't attack me if you disagree, it just helps me deal with the weirdness of the word me in that sentence. =] Anyone with me?
A[/b]
-
To me, it makes perfect sense
If only you could tell me it’s okay and me listen cos it already is
If only someone could tell her it's okay, and have her listen.
That's why I argue that it makes sense.
-
It does make sense, just looks weird reading it.
-
oh so,
tell me it's okay
tell me listen.
gotchya =] :idea:
-
I think what she means is like, "you can tell me it's okay, but like I'll actually listen.."
-
OH MI GAWD!!!!!!! Thank you so muuuuucccccccchhhh! ^^' All is well is my new favorite! Omigawd...I love you :cry:
-
it's so different then her other stuff. it's BEAUTIFUL *<:o) (like it would ever ben anything other than beautiful)
-
it's amazing. i wish it said 'I listen' though, that would mean the same thing but sound less....weird..but dont get me wrong, it's amazing and i <3 her.
EDIT: Maybe it's 'have me listen'? that would make sense also...*listens*
-
OH MI GAWD!!!!!!! Thank you so muuuuucccccccchhhh! ^^' All is well is my new favorite! Omigawd...I love you :cry:
:lol:
-
That recording makes my speakers mad, I can't really tell anything she sings, but you are having some debate over her grammar. I'm an English major and I'll tell you, most people don't mind grammar errors in songs.
If only you could tell me it’s okay and me listen cos it already is
^^ that does make sense if you think of it like.......
"If only you could tell me it's ok, and have me listen, cause it already is".
Whatever, we all know what she means.
-
just be glad there IS a recording.

Thank you Jessica; I wasn't able to record anything in Brisbane :oops: Australians
are far less likely to pick on the grammar of V with the exception of this piece;
At number 31 Vanessa Carlton has paid a heavy price for the injudicious use of a double negative in her album title. Australians are nothing if not pedantic on the matter of grammatical correctness and are notoriously short on patience when it comes to titles this stupid.

Suck on my left buttock, please. It's not a double negative in the usual sense. It is a case of elimination. I know we've been over this here before, but apparently that reviewer hasn't heard of such. :roll:

"All is Well" makes me think of the "Corpse Bride", just felt like sharing, never saw the movie though....hmm....

I thought the exact same thing, the first time I heard it :D . Not the lyrics thought, only the music.
OMG, I'm surprised how many of you think that! That's one of my favorite movies at the moment and I know exactly what you mean. It has a slight resemblance to "Once Upon a December." I really like it and it's so great to hear a new song from her.

That's another one of my favorite movies right now. I can see why you would say that. The animation is really beautiful, you should see it.
-
I love the song, the lyrics are amazing and I can't wait for the new album. Oh bythe way hey everyone!

love it. really incredible.
finally got it, haven't had internet for a while ugh.
