Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Best Behavior & The One & Nolita Fairytale

« on: August 04, 2007, 02:00:19 pm »

This is a little off the subject, but the notes in the bridge of Superhero are wrong. I actually know what the correct notes are. I'll have to put the video up on YouTube to show you guys how it's really played. Now I can play along easily to the recording.

Oh, you probably don't know yet but Vanessa transposed it a half-step lower. you can listen to new vids on youtube where Stevie Nicks did a back up for V.

I didn't know that, b/c [due to circumstances too long to explain], I only get to look at videos on YouTube quite sparingly. I was just listening to the song earlier, and I guess either Van thought it was too high for her voice, or just found it easier to play in a key w/ less sharps/flats. I hate transpositions [most of the time], b/c they change the character of the song.  :?

I can't really think of any right now, since I tend to not pick out stuff that's too safe; but if I could tell you, it would be the following:

She Floats [I never learned all of this one; it's too boring]

A Thousand Miles [as fast as this song is, I can get through it w/o a single mistake]

Wanted

The Wreckage [I have trouble getting through this one w/o a mistake]

White Houses [possibly]

Superhero [possibly]

Haven't been here in a while b/c everytime I came here no one really talked about anything particularly new or interesting.

the one is in B min

'The One' is actually in Eb Major. During the bridge it goes into C minor. Anyway, I thought that Pyro's version of 'Best Behavior' was more accurate that Phu's version. No wonder I had such a hard time playing it when I printed out [the first page] of Phu's version. BB is in really A major [so the key signature is correct], but basically starts out on the D chord, then goes into the A chord by the chorus. The other chord progressions are [not in any particular order]: F# minor, C# minor, B, and E [i think].

There's only one problem w/ 'Best Behavior'; the pages are in the wrong order. But I can always fix that when I print them out. I was so happy when I found Pyro's version on the NessFan website b/c now I don't have to print out the pages individually from my ImageShack account. I tried getting BB up on Adobe PDF, but it claimed that the files were too damaged to be put up there. Oh, well, I guess anything's possible.

I think it's in B Minor. I don't really know anything about the Dorian Mode, since I only know songs, except by whether they're in Major or Minor key. [Someone corrected me by saying that Papa is in Eb Dorian, but it's really in Ebm b/c it has 6 flats in the key signature.] But I think you have a point about the Dorian mode b/c it seems to me that it's a cross between F#m, A Major, and Bm. I just got an idea; if you can't really tell what key a song is in, then it's most likely in Dorian mode.

I thought that you wear it on the right until you're actually married and then you switch it over when you are....

I didn't know you could do that... well if VC plans on getting married, then I'm happy for her. :wink:

why would you wear an engagement ring on your right hand?

was going to ask the same question....?

Women [and sometimes men] wear their engagement rings on their right ring fingers sometimes; I know I will, so it's not unusual at all. Sometimes the women [even celebs] just wear their wedding ring and the men don't wear one at all. For some odd reason, I don't like wearing two rings on one finger. It's all a matter of preference.

Well, DUH. It's most definitely her, b/c she has distinctive features and her fingers are bony. I know that gorilla nose anywhere. She tends to crook her pinky fingers, whether eating, playing the piano, or whatever. Is that an engagement ring on her right 4th finger? :?:  :?:  :?:

Can anyone tell me what key Sway is in? I have know there to be mistakes in key signatures when songbooks are manufactured [especially by Hal-Leonard]. Is it in Amaj, F#m, or Bm? [I think it's most likely in B Minor, but I'm not sure].

I, too have an ImageShack account, but how did you do this?

Did you know that you can [on ADOBE PDF format] print out 4 pages of sheet music on one sheet of paper [Or print out twice as many on both sides of a sheet of paper]? I wish I'd figured it out much sooner, b/c I would've saved a LOT of paper, not to mention money.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / question: how many Vanessa Carlton audio files do you have?

« on: February 07, 2007, 03:09:04 pm »

Yep. But unfortunately, the guy who did it [who talked an awful lot of junk about Phu's transcribsions] didn't complete it. I hope someone else can, though. I would, but I don't know how to do midis.

Here's a midi sample of the Rinse version of All I Ask:

It's a shame that the person didn't complete this.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Pretty Baby in Ab Major...

« on: February 04, 2007, 03:05:22 pm »

Just yesterday I started learning Pretty Baby and thought it would be neat to bring the song down a half-step. I also found that the song was easier to play [and sing to] when I transposed it b/c it has 4 flats; moreover, I've never played anything in Ab before. There's a song [by a another artist] close to my heart that's in Ab, so I was inspired and got the brilliant idea to transpose Pretty Baby down to that key. I never play V's songs exactly like her b/c as an artist myself, so it's fun to put my own interpretation on her music w/o taking anything from it. It's a good thing that Maag transcribed the song the way she did b/c there's much room for inprovisation, although I'm a little disappointed that she didn't throw in the key change that comes near the end. It's okay, b/c there's room to make the song your own. When I went to musicnotes.com a while back I found that you could transpose the song in different keys.
