i think im with ghisy, i love the piano version its just so BAM!

this new version makes it sound less emotional, its just kinda like a video game sound to me or something, its a cute style but im not sure i like this version.
it might still grow on me tho once i buy the CD!

i actually quite enjoy the screams, i think they add to the emotion in the song that shes trying to capture.  like its freaky to us, but she said this album would be trying new things and leaving edges and such..so i think they fit well at that part

i love the violins in that song as well!!

i figured out the wreckage, its pretty simple once you have it

what i have in the beginning tho doesnt sound as full as what she has, it could just be she had the best piano in the world, but who knows  :lol:


idk how to really type it, the two notes next to each other are chords:
(only the right hand plays this part)
CEb CD CEb CD CEb CD CEb CF  CEb CD
BEb BD  BEb  BD BEb BD BEb BF BEb BD
BbEb  BbD BbEb BbD BbEb BbD BbEb BbF BbEb BbD
(continue that pattern of going downwards with the first note until Ab)
AbCEb AbD AbEb AbD AbEb AbD AbEb AbF AbEb AbD
ACEb  AD ACEb AD  ACEb AD ACEb ACF ACEb AD
GCEb GD GCEb  F GBD GC GD GB

(now starts "the rythm..... these arent chords, these are run notes** and the left hand plays the first three notes, right hand plays the last 5)

C Eb G C F G Eb F (play 4x)
B Eb G  B F G Eb G (play 4x)
Bb Eb G Bb F G Eb G (play 4x)
A  Eb G A F G Eb G (play 4x)
** A C Eb A Eb F C Eb  (play 4x)
** G C Eb G Eb F C Eb (play 2x)
     G B D G D C B C (play once, with some sort of run on the last couple notes, dont really know the actual i just play whatever i feel lol)


(then for the next part.."we're flying" or something)
(left hand and right hand both play, up an octave)

CEb (3x) CD (1x)  (repeat three times) CEb CF CEb CD
BEb (3x)  BD (1x)  (repeat three times) BEb  BF BEb BD
BbEb (3x) BbD (1x)  (repeat three times)  BbEb BbF BbEb BbD
AEb (3x)  AD (1x)  (repeat three times)  AEb AF AEb AD
**AbCEb (3x)  AbD (1x)  (repeat three times)  AbCEb AbCF AbCEb AbCD

(then repeat the run notes up in that higher octave)

then go to the beginning with only the right hand

the rythm is really funky on the runs, just listen to it over and over and play with it.


im not sure all these notes are exact, but they match quite well.  good luck!

hopefully it works out, sorry if its a mess and you cant understand, just PM me or something.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Seventeen Magazine has wrong CD release date!!

« on: September 24, 2004, 03:19:01 pm »

in the November issue of Seventeen magazine, in the "little black book" music section for reviews, they say:

Pop
Vanessa Carlton
Harmonium
OCTOBER 19

"Maybe its the older boyfriend, but something's made her a bit naughty on this CD.  Her passionate piano still stirs, but the lyrics (like those on loss of virginity) are more daring."

they gave the review 3 out of 4 hearts!


oiyyy.  11/9 is wayy too far away, even the magazines cant wait!  :lol:

Entertainment - Movies / TV / Books / The Lovely Bones

« on: July 04, 2004, 12:38:29 pm »

The Lovely Bones is a book by Alice Sebold.

heres the scoop:   i hate reading books..i can never get into them and enjoy them.  but for some reason--this book has got me reading 100 pages a day.  (im not finished..i started yesterday lol)  but its really good.

its basically about this girl who starts the book in heaven, looking back on her murder by her sketchy neighbor (shes 14..) and watching her family from heaven growing from it.  theres really cool logical references to this picture her little brother drew that has earth, then a thick blue line (sky), and another place above it..meaning that theres something between heaven and earth.  and its interesting to watch her emotion as she sees her family pass by the murderer and not know it or feel it.   i find the interpretation of this book rather interesting, and so far its a really good read..

i recommend it, im sure theres really good books like it out there--but i had to pick one off my reading list, and im glad i did!
