Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Operator Lyrics
« on: July 22, 2015, 01:02:23 am »
Here's the lyrics. I put a question mark beside the lines where I'm not entirely sure.

I could be your operator.
I could bring you joy.
Something like a freedom fighter.
Guns are just for boys. (?)

I heard what you said,
You should say it again
Cause it's bold, bold.
It's getting late, darling,
Get a move on it.
We should go, go.

You should never tell your mother.
You could give it time.
I pour a drink, here have another
Cause this is gonna blow your mind.

Heard what you said
And I say what I mean,
We should go, go.
Pack up your things,
I don't care what you bring.
Leave your house for a home.

And you should call your little brother.
Tell him to be good.
And tell him that you really love him.
You don't but you should.

I heard what you said,
So don't say it again
Cause it's cold, cold.
It's getting late, darling,
Get a move on it.
We should go, go.

And I could be your moneymaker,
And you could be my song.
We'll worry about the others later.
We should gotta move on.
We should go, go.

Pack up your things,
I don't care what you bring.
Leave your house for a home.

Hi, guys!

I've been trying to find any recording of Pretty Baby live, that is, aside from the ones from the BNN era.

So far, I only found two.

I want to find the live acoustic ones where V doesn't play the piano because I love the different vibe from it. Can you guys help me out?

I finally found the time to make a cover. Borrowed a decent keyboard from a friend. I haven't played piano for more than a month until today, so pardon the mistakes. ;D Tell me what you think.

I don't know if this is posted but I found this because of random googling...

http://www.myspace.com/video/vanessacarlton/i-don-t-want-to-be-a-bride-psuedo-video/108054039

It's odd that they posted this video in myspace first....

And here's another bit I found in the official site.

A MESSAGE FROM VANESSA

Dear Phantom Friends,

The album, the collaboration, the arts and crafts project that is Rabbits on the Run, is a vault of melodies, philosophies, and questions that will forever preserve the past three and a half years of my life. A chunk of time that has reshaped who I am and has humbled me. The process of making the record was restorative and prickly and shook me out of a ten year slumber. It was also magical. I made this record with a group of artists that I never thought I'd get to work with. On the eve of this release, as I type in to black buttons, and stare at a glowing screen in my hotel room, I feel grateful that I'm able to create music and send it out into the world like some sort of ship on the sea. It is how I connect. It is how I stay alive. I realize now that this record isn't mine anymore, it belongs to the hearts and brains of those that connect with it. And I humbly hand it over. I hope that it brings you to life in the way that it brought me to life.

Love

Vanessa

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / Dear California Chords
« on: June 01, 2011, 04:25:57 am »
I just figured this one out few hours ago, and I fell in love to it along the way. I'm feeling good about the chords. (:
This one's in the key of E major. (:

Dear California


INTRO: | E | E | E | E | (3X)


VERSE I:
A              B                      E
  As usual, I'm in a tricky predicament
A                      B                                          E
  Weather in my thoughts, on the roof sneaking a cigarette
A              B                E           C#m
  Dear California, it's been nice to know ya
A                       B                      E (drop)
  Tell me will you miss me when I'm gone?


CHORUS I:
                                 A           B             E
  Cause he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
                                A                 B             E
  And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
                                 A                 B                  E
  And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
                                  A         B       E
  Would you love me as I   leave?


VERSE II:
A              B                         E
  This alchemy is making me suspicious (Oooh-oooh)
A                        B                   E                       C#m                         A
  As if I slipped you some belladonna that I crossed town to get, don't you know?
              B                          E (Drop)
  Yes, my grand friend checks it


CHORUS I:
                             A           B             E
  Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
                                A                 B             E
  And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
                                A                 B                  E
  And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
                                 A         B       E
  Would you love me as I   leave?


CHORUS II:
                                A         B           E
  Ever changing as the sea, it's my only hope
                              A         B           E
  It's just me and my pup in the open road
                                A        B            E
  But your face is like a paper cut to the heart
                        A         B          
  Slip away while you sleep


BRIDGE:
A             E
  It's easy,   it's easier
C#m              B  
  Than it seems
A             E
 It's easy,   it's easier
C#m              B  
  Than it seems
A           E        C#m           B
  Just go,  I'll go,     don't cry
A            E          C#m             B    A (Drop)
  Don't go,  don't go,    you still cry

| A - B | E |
| A - B | E  |     A - B | E  |
             I don't cry
| A - B | E |


CHORUS I:
                             A           B             E
  Oh he loves me as I leave, so I'm gonna go
                                A                 B             E
  And I'm not in company's when you feel it most
                                A                 B                  E
  And you keep my memory, I hope ya keep me close
                                 A         B       E
  Would you love me as I   leave?
 

CODA:
                                A - B       E
  Ever changing as the sea
                                    A       -      B         E      
  Would you love me as I leave? (Dear California)
                                   A       -      B         E
  Would you love me as I leave? (Dear California)
                                    A       -      B         E
  Would you love me as I leave? (Dear California)

How come there's still no thread about this song? It's AMAZING.

To me, it sounds Wicca-inspired. The references to 'grave/gray stones' and 'witch doctor' are so poetic. And they didn't even sound so forced.

And the vibe - it was magical. Dreamy. I think that this is somehow the twin of the bridge of Carousel.

And I've been thinking that maybe, the stones being referred are the Stonehenge...

Hmm.... Thoughts?

I made this one out of boredom. Anyone is free to use it. (:




that's really pretty..but that's not her right?  It would be very awesome if she did a pic like that though..

Very artsy. Very her. Though I don't think that V would do that much high-fashion.

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / "Get Good" Chords.
« on: March 01, 2011, 04:33:37 am »
I can't write just the chords because the strumming is a little hard to explain.

9. Get Good

Intro: |A   |G  D|A -

Verse 1:
            A
Are the echoes coming back to you?
    A                                        G             D               A
Is wisdom seeing patterns on the gloom that rope around you?
                           G      D                 
And you will be the colors,
                 A
when I saw you

Verse 2:
             A
Catching velvet on the moonlight,
                                            G

You'll get good in time
                         G
And I wish I could be there
       D                          A
Wish I could make it right

Chorus:

And don't you worry, you'll soon be off limits
      E           F#m                       D    A
And that's no trick, that flicker of radiance
      E           F#m                       D    A
And you'll feel lucky, darling, I'm sure of it
      E           D (break)
We'll figure it out and get good again

(Intro)

Verse 3:
    A
A slow-mo run and there's a breeze
   A                               G        D                A
A golden dust, a dandelion sea, a bout of sorcery
                          G              D                   A

I know it's been so long

(Chorus)

A - A - G - D -Bm

No, it's not true, but I know what you think
                  D                     A             E     Bm
I want to thank you for being so good to me

I just wanted you to know

Are the echoes coming back to you?
    A                                        G             D                    A
Is wisdom seeing patterns on the gloom that rope around you?
                                    G            D                   A         
And we'll look out for each other and I'll look out for you

We'll look out for each other

(Chorus except last line)
      E           F#m                   D        A
We'll figure it out, yeah, we'll get good again
