Completely Off-Topic / StumbleUpon

Is anyone else addicted, besides me? It's a website in which you create an account, manage interests, and stumble upon (hence the name) random articles and all that jazz pertaining to your interests. I highly recommend it to anyone who tends to get bored easily.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / "Dear California" next single?

« on: August 17, 2011, 04:42:02 pm »

If you look at her wikipedia page page, at the bottom it lists DC as her next single after "Carousel". This obviously isn't legit since there's no source, no page for DC, and on the page for ROTR, it says nothing about the next single. But still... could it be?

Creative Endeavors / Original: "When the City Lights the Way"

« on: August 01, 2011, 08:21:47 pm »

I'm the lyricist of my duo/band/whatever you call it, and this might be my best work. It's a love song for the city of Chicago (I'm so sick of the suburbs).

I took of bus up north
Didn't know any more
Than what I was to expect

I walked my full mile
Didn't even mind the rain
Just wanted some way to reflect

It's not about crimson birds
Or taxi cabs in New York or guitar tabs
Just my footsteps on replay
Eleven out of one to ten
Photography and mannequins
Ready for what may

Wake up from the buildings by the lake
Captured only half of what I wanted to take
Better than the concrete tried to say
Restart counting all the days when the city lights the way

Out for tea on Ohio
Forever the tiles
I didn't mean to rush you

But time is money
When the cost is too high
Empty hands are worse that this few

It's not history, modern nature
Previews before the movie feature
Just my footsteps on replay
Fear of heights on Ferris wheels
Listen closely and you'll hear the bells
Ready for what may

Wake up from the buildings by the lake
Captured only half of what I wanted to take
Better than the concrete tried to say
Restart counting all the days when the city lights the way

It's not about crimson birds
Or taxi cabs in New York or guitar tabs
Just my footsteps on replay
Eleven out of one to ten
Photography and mannequins
Ready for what may

It's not history, modern nature
Previews before the movie feature
Just my footsteps on replay
Fear of heights on Ferris wheels
Listen closely and you'll hear the bells
Ready for what may

Wake up from the buildings by the lake
Captured only half of what I wanted to take
Better than the concrete tried to say
Restart counting all the days when the city lights the way


Thoughts, anyone?

Other Musicians / The Swell Season a.k.a. Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova

Is anyone else a fan? They're from the movie "Once", which everyone almost always recognizes "Falling Slowly" from it. Their music is beautiful. My favorites are "Sleeping", "This Low", "When Your Mind's Made Up", "Alone Apart", and "The Rain".

Completely Off-Topic / Artsy Talk

Just wondering what types of art people around here like. Personally I love abstract art, since art, in my opinion, should be free of material things. By that I mean I am not a fan of impressionism. It just doesn't click for me. Although, I do love abstract impressionism, along with cubism, neoplasticism, and lyrical abstraction.

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Let's be creative...

« on: June 27, 2011, 04:48:54 pm »

We should come up with music video ideas for Vanessa's past songs and potential singles.

For example, 'Heroes & Thieves':

She's playing piano in a big mansion and the doorbell rings several times while she plays. She answers it every time only to find the same guy in different disguises. Eventually she becomes fed up and leaves. She returns and lets in the guy just as he is.

Something like that. It would be neat if we could get all the albums

Does anyone else like them? It took me a while to grow onto to them, but now I think they're awesome. Check out 'Burn Your Life Down'.

Introduce Yourself / Hey hey hey

Obviously I'm new. After I realized I was constantly visiting as a guest, I figured "Why not make an account?". And here I am
