Here's the link if anyone's interested : http://www.20min.ch/ro/entertainment/people/story/Elle-ne-trichera-pas-sur-son-apparence-31796451

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / What's your favorite Vanessa Carlton album?

« on: January 28, 2012, 12:49:56 am »

Now that we had enough time to enjoy (or get tired of) the new record 'Rabbits On The Run', I thought it would be nice to know what's your favorite Vanessa Carlton album.

I have to admit the choice is difficulte between 'Harmonium' and 'Rabbits' but I find myself listening to 'Rabbits' all the time. I just like that 'new' 60's sound so much. It suits Vanessa really well.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Parts of Vanessa's songs that give you goosebumps

« on: February 11, 2011, 07:52:07 am »

I was listening to Vanessa in my car this morning, as usual, and was thinking about all this parts of V's songs that give me chills everytime I listen to them. It can be only like 1-2 or seconds or maybe a whole song. I'd be interested to know if we fans share the same favorites So here's my the list, with no specific order, I'm looking forward to read yours

1. The very end of "Spring Street" when the voices singing "na-na-na" fade and for a brief second, the last "naaa", you only hear V's voice.

2. The part were Vanessa double tracks herself on "This Time" when singing "It just seems I should confess / Who am I to pretend"

3. The screaming/fake choir part in "She Floats"

4. Every single high note in "White Houses" and "More Than This"

5. The moment in "The One" were the song kind of re-starts after a few seconds of silence (starting with "But you'll always be my golden boy"

6. Still in "The One", at the end of the song, the second "I don't need you to tell me I'm the one" that she sings without Stevie Nicks.

7. The choir part in "Hands On Me"

8. The choir part in "More Than This" - "Let's make this our story...."

9. The beginning and re-start of the song in "Annie" (piano part).

Well, I probably have tons of other I just don't think of at the moment, cause I gotta go... Sorry if Im bothering you with another thread... again...

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / How is "Heroes & Thieves" like a book?

« on: February 01, 2011, 10:30:59 am »

Since the album came out back in 2007, I had this recurring question in my head, how exactly is Heroes & Thieves a book in which every song is like a chapter? I love the record, it's among my favorites, but I never got it. I mean if each chapter is supposed to be about something else, then every record made by a great songwriter/storyteller is like that. Could you guys help me? Because unless the story is what I posted below, I don't get it.

The story is about a girl who got her record deal taken away. Fortunately she lives in Nolita, NYC which is a fabulous place to live, I'd say it's a fairytale. She has a temp work that sucks but her mind is elsewhere. She's thinking about her boyfriend, she wants him to put his hand on her. It finally happens and she moves out of the city and starts a family on her own. She has a daughter who doesn't make her feel so alone when she looks at her. Her boyfriend/husband leaves even though she always gave him her best, after all he was the one and he will always be her golden boy. Heroes & Thieves, she can't seem to tell them apart anymore. What's happening? Maybe she should try to sleep at 4 am instead of wondering that kind of questions. Oh yes I forgot, the dreamers get punished. She finally sleeps and thinks about that place she loves most, the place she calls home. That all she needs, she'll never need more than this

Hope you liked it My english is bad, I know

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / How you want/imagine "Rabbits"

« on: November 25, 2010, 06:09:42 am »

Tracklist, cover, production... how do you imagine the new album to be like??

I think the album won't have the usual 11 tracks but 12 or 10. I don't know why... maybe because I have this feeling that the album will be released independently and will be entirely produced by Vanessa I also think the album will be mostly raw, piano, guitar and the choir voices. Like I said in a previous post I imagine "Rabbits" being a spring version of Harmonium which was more of a fall/winter album so we probably won't have songs as depressing as the songs on the second half of "Harmonium" but stuff like "San Fran" etc. About the cover art, I assume we already know the font that will be used which is the one on her website. I expect to see rabbits everywhere on the blooket, maybe even a real on the cover which I hope will be a photo and not a drawing... Ahah thanks for reading but that means nothing, it's just wishful thinking...
