Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Any good songs?

« on: March 22, 2008, 06:24:18 pm »

I would recommend All is Well, but I could be biased because of my love for the song in general. It's a nice exercise if you've never played in that key before (I know I hadn't, and I haven't since), and once you get the hang of it, it's easy and it's good if you're showing off on the piano.  :wink: I also find that Best Behavior is really fun to play, especially during the chorus and the piano solo.

Oh, and Birdie. It's repetitive, but I personally think it's oodles of fun to play. Yes, oodles.

I like it better too. I'm not a fan of the pic and the colors on the real one. This one is just more--fresh and new and not quite as odd.

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / ANNIE - Who is she?

Aw, she's so adorable. I'll admit, I cried the first time I heard 'Annie'.

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Why are people hatin' on This Time?

There's nothing terribly memorable about it, and it just doesn't have that Vanessa flair that makes us fall in love with a song. And I agree, I would have rather had either Best Behavior or (especially) All is Well.

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / My Best music sheet

« on: February 25, 2008, 01:53:03 pm »

Have you ever tried to use Finale NotePad? If not, you can download it here: http://www.finalemusic.com/notepad/. It's free, and pretty easy to use. Actually, it's really easy to use. You seriously just point and click where you want the notes to be. The only real downside is that the free version doesn't create image files out of the sheets for you, so anyone else wanting to view or print the sheet music would have to be using NotePad too. But like I said, it's free and easy to use.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Hands On Me Video (discussion)

« on: February 16, 2008, 07:23:40 am »

I just have to say that Vanessa's hair is totally fierce.

I kinda expected something, more, for the lack of a better term, epic. That I'd get to the end of the video and say, "Whoa." And to have to watch it over and over again to get the full effect. I think the song was too, I dunno, the song really told a story, and I think the video was way too--general--for such a song.

Wow, I really need to expand my vocabulary.

Creative Endeavors / V icons

« on: December 26, 2007, 12:43:23 pm »

I've made a few based on V's lyrics, the two I have hosted on Iconator are both from The One, though.




The second one is a little hard to read, but I'm getting better at this animation thing.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Some punk band covered "A Thousand Miles"...

« on: October 04, 2007, 03:17:36 pm »

Wow. I really really liked that.

But then again, that's a little biased, coming from a big punk rock person like me.

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Colors?

« on: October 01, 2007, 04:06:24 pm »

Alright, I'll admit I'm more of an artistically inclined person than musically. As a result, I associate certain colors with certain songs, especially Vanessa Carlton songs.  

For example, I associate a deep purple color with Hands on Me, probably due to the night sky imagery throughout the song. With Best Behavior, I imagine a light, vivid blue, probably the blue sky of a summer's afternoon. With Heroes and Thieves, I think of a golden yellow, but I really have no clue as to this one. I associate All is Well with a bluish green (or possibly greenish blue)  with tiny flecks of red throughout.

Does anyone else associate any certain colors or patterns with V's songs, or is it just me being excessively weird?

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / What makes a Nessaholic?

« on: March 13, 2007, 04:21:31 pm »

I just thought it would be fun to think of all the crazy things we all do as Nessaholics, and what really makes a Nessaholic. What strange things does everyone else do, relating to Vanessa?

1. I can think of a Vanessa song to go with any given mood of mine.

2. I've used death threats on people who have mixed her up with Michelle Branch.

Anyone else?
