Carousel (Learning to Fly) [Piano]
Tales [Piano]
White Houses [Keyboard] Brother mortified about the bridge lyrics

7 Swords [Keyboard]
Operator [Piano]
Blue Pool [Piano]

Vocally and phonically she really has grown a lot. The melange of her, Skye and Ableton is impressive. It really gave a good depth. It was sad to see no songs from Heroes and Thieves, but overall great set. Super happy she had a piano for this show. The backtracks and overlaying tracks are great!

Skye got locked out of the stage door and had to enter right before the show via the lobby

think vanessa is a backup singer in this. When I saw her she was standing to the far left as you look at it, furthest from the edge of the stage...

Tall Tales for Spring

Links:
- Premiere Nashville June 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK7LKc3K9eU

LYRICS


God rest his head Sunday afternoon, and
The wicked in me is surly the wicked in you
We pray to a ghost that we've never met
Time turns for a cure, from the scientists for

Madness, madness of the heart
but you knew it,
you knew it from the start

And Hawking will tell us no tall tales this spring
Our eyes hold the chaos that stared everything
Maybe it's faith, and the sadness takes hold
Sill stars through the window, will ever know this

Madness, madness of the heart
but you knew it, you knew it from the start
There's a madness, a madness of the heart
but you knew it, you knew it from the start

Stare a sleepy smile into a sunbeam
Cause there's nothing more than a daydream
Colored stained glass cathedral
Confines a past that wont let you go

God rest his head Sunday afternoon
And the wicked in me is surly coming through
I pray to a ghost that I've never met
Still searching for someway out of this mess

It's the heart
It's the heart
And there is a madness, a madness in the stars
But you knew it, you knew it from the start

Hmmmmmmmmm
Hmmmmmmmmm
Hmmmmmmmmm

So I was NOT impressed -- vanessa has been bad the past 3 times I have seen her, and shows are progressively getting worse....

First vanessa looked stoned out of her mind, and like she just woke up after being hung over. Her hair was a mess, clothing choices looked very odd. ...She wore a white spaghetti strapped shirt, long black gaucho pants, and a heinous red shawl thing.

She barely spoke, and when she did it was nothing new.

She played

Nolita Fairytale
Hands on Me
Ordinary Day (on Rhodes)
White Houses
Heroes and Thieves
A Thousand Miles
Home
More Than This

Her set was shorter than Anna Nailick's set.

Overall it was a waist for me to go see her, but the rest of the performers did well! She left right after the show, and did not sign anything or do any pictures. Her performances are becoming more and more robotic; she is just playing and saying the same things over and over-- I miss her spontaneity, and the old vanessa....

On a positive note -- it was nice to see her alone!

Tonight was alright. The crowd sucked badly, and it pissed her off. We waited in the 21 degree weather for 2.5 hours for her at her bus, and she was not in a good mood. Tonight had some good new versions of songs - I will explain later anyways the set is this (PS Ziggy is gone until the radio tour)


Nolita
Hands
Heroes
Ordinary
My Best
C'est
The One
Winter
Who's

She has a new guitarist his name is Mark Bowshamin (That is not the right spelling though). The levels were somewhat off, and it took away a lot in different songs. All in all I hate to say this, but this was my least enjoyed concert. Mostly due to the crowd, but also because of how short the concert was. She went on stage 45 minutes late, and only spoke briefly about the songs. I hope tonight is better.

Quote
In her latest video, Vanessa Carlton very deliberately kills a piano.

The clip for "Nolita Fairytale" begins with her entering a garage and removing the cover from a red piano. She sits down at the keyboard and -- whoosh -- the artist and piano soon float above a city street.

At this point, viewers may feel a little deja vu: So far, the new video is a step-by-step copy of the one for her breakout 2002 single "A Thousand Miles."

Only this time, things go screwy. Carlton cracks a sly smile before scampering away, abandoning the piano in the street. Seconds later, it gets creamed by a yellow taxi.

The destruction of the instrument is Carlton's attempt to make a fresh start -- plowing through a five-year-old image that got bigger than the artist herself.

"That image kind of trumped everything else. It became almost iconic -- the girl and the piano," says Carlton during an interview at an outdoor cafe near her apartment in the Nolita neighborhood of Manhattan. "They don't know who I am, they don't know the song, they don't know any of it. But they know the traveling piano video."

So Carlton and video director Mark Klasfeld, who created the floating piano, decided to purge it.

"To start anew, you have to kind of open the old book and then close it so you can then open the next book," says Carlton, who this day wears a floppy hat, black nail polish, skintight jeans, a knitted top and a nose stud.

Carlton, 27, is hoping a new book opens with "Heroes & Thieves," her third album after a turbulent few years that saw her break up with both her longtime boyfriend and her record label.

"I think the past couple of years have been one of those really hard-core evolutionary chapters for me," she says, sipping a double espresso. "This album reflects that."

The CD, co-written with Third Eye Blind founder Stephan Jenkins and songwriter Linda Perry, is an 11-song collection that mines the veins of longing, heartbreak and independence.

"Take away my record deal / Go on I don't need it," she sings on the first single. "Spent the last two years getting to what's real / And now I can see so clear."

For Carlton to lose her record deal seemed unfathomable in 2002 when her debut album, "Be Not Nobody," earned three Grammy nominations, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

Her second album, 2004's "Harmonium," which yielded the single "White Houses," also garnered good reviews but made little splash. MTV, VH1 and some radio stations balked at playing the single, which deals with a girl losing her virginity.

Carlton said she was frustrated by her then-label, Interscope Records, feeling like the second album wasn't supported as hard as she'd like.

"I felt I was being punished or smacked on the hand for kind of making a left turn," she says. "It's not like I had released an avant-garde album. I'd made certain choices that weren't typical or weren't expected of me."

She found comfort in an unexpected place: The Inc. Records -- once known as Murder Inc. After being wooed by label head Irv "Gotti" Lorenzo, Carlton found herself among a stable of stars that includes Ja Rule, Ashanti and R&B singer Lloyd.

"It's an odd coupling. You would never think to put us together," Carlton admits. "He just blew me away with his level of passion and devotion in creating good music, no matter what genre it is. And his ear is excellent."

For his part, Lorenzo says he was smitten while listening to Carlton perform one of her new songs. "I was completely blown away, in all honesty," he says. "I was jumping around, cursing and everything. She was just looking at me, laughing. I thought she was thinking, 'This dude is completely crazy.'

"I think it was a breath of fresh air for her. I think the people who she worked with, even when they liked the record, they didn't jump and scream. I think she's one of the best talents that I've ever come across."

The new album also benefits from Carlton's association with Jenkins, who helped produce the disc and co-wrote five tracks. That made things complicated when, during recording, they broke up their four-year romantic relationship.

"It's just such a special project for us. I'm proud of our musical partnership," she says. "I really think we just did our best work and so I look at it as my duty to bring this record to this stage in a way that continues the high standard that we reached in the studio."

Though the topic of Jenkins still seems a tad raw, Carlton says she would happily work with her ex again. "He's a fantastic songwriter. I just think he's extraordinary. That mutual respect will forever live on," she says.

While her heart was breaking and her career was in tatters, Carlton relied on someone she'd toured with and befriended: Stevie Nicks, who appears on a song on the new CD.

"When I met her and was touring with her I was really in fragile state of mind and very unsure about what my next move was going to be," she says. "She became my home. She put her chiffon wing around me. She told me, 'You are up for this fight. You have no choice. You have to continue.'

"She thinks I'm this great songwriter. She said, 'You're one of those artists that need to get to their best-of record.' I just don't want to let her down," Carlton says. "And now I don't want to let myself down, either."

Armed with the new album, Carlton launches a two-year schedule of tours and promotions. Lorenzo insists she's under no pressure to produce sales immediately.

"I call her music 'forever music.' The record that she's writing is the record they'll be playing in the next 20 or 30 years," he says.

Hey... I know that if I posted this in the thread for Monday's performance... (6/25/2007) It would not be noticed.... I wanted to load this version, it is pretty clear, and the most recent that we have floating around here. My friend loaded it up for me so thank you to Steven K.... Anyways

The One

Holiday, and I've come home
Hope to see this boy I know
I can't wait for us to be alone

Flippin' through the radio
We sing along to the indie show
The songs they play mean more than I can say

And the tape I made you
Hope you think of me when it plays through
Kind of sad now that it's done

You think my time's for free
In all the ways you say to me
"Sweet versions of lets wait and see"

But you're always a golden boy
And I'm the girl that you enjoy
My parents say "Isn't he a gifted son?"

Time is always passing by
Still I give you another try
And hope that you will see
That I'm the one

Summer goes and we have grown
We have our friends, live on our own
Still, I'm not the girl you want me to be

See gravity can bend the time
Funny I always liked your mind
But this whole thing is crushing me

Well you're always a golden boy
In this girl's heart that you destroy
You smile at me and then you have your fun

Time is always passing by
Still I give you another try
And hope that you will see
That I'm the one

You say you're scared
To get too close
Come let's see how it goes
I see him now, at the show
7th in the 7th row

And now you look at me
And see what I've known for so long
It's sad that you can be
So lovely, yet so wrong

Came to say, that I've moved
I see your face, you don't approve
Guess you could say that I'm already gone

Well you'll always be a golden boy
I'm the summer girl that you enjoy
Some melodys are best left undone

I feel the time pass away
But in my songs you'll aways stay
Don't need for you to tell me I'm the one
Oh, no, no, don't need for you to tell me
I'm the one
You'll never know that I was
The one

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / "Home"
« on: June 25, 2007, 11:47:04 pm »
Alright the old topic was locked so here are the final lyrics. Song to come. It is not the best singing. she shot it on FLM.... anyways


"House"

Some live in a house on a hill
And wish they were someplace else
There's nobody there when the evening is still
Secrets with no one to tell

And some I have known
Have a ship where they sleep
With sounds of rocks on the coast
I sail over oceans five fathoms deep
I can't find what they want the most

And even now
When I'm alone
I've always known
With you
I am home

And some live in towns
Cardboard shack on concrete
All blustered, and busteling life
They search for the color
They never quite see
‘Cause it's all white on white

And even now
When I'm alone
I've always known
With you
I am home

And even now
When I'm alone
I've always known
With you
I am home

For me it's a glimpse
And a smile on your face
A touch of your hands
An honest embrace

For where I lay, it's you I keep
This changing world
And fall asleep
With you all I know is
I'm coming home
Coming home

Live Shows / 6/25/2007: John Labatt Centre - London, ON, CAN (review)
« on: June 25, 2007, 11:38:28 pm »
WOW is all I have to say
One of the best Vanessa Carlton concerts I have ever seen. I now understand Stevie Nicks a lot more too from seeing her. Vanessa wore brown Stilettos, the fedora from the Nolita video with Irv, jeans, and a long sleeve white shirt. Her voice has become so much better since I last saw her in October.
The set was amazing, 38 minutes long. A NEW SONG!

1. Ordinary Day (Divide and Conquer)
2. Hands On Me (Small melodic change in vocals "all growing old"<3)
3. White Houses (changed one melodic line, she went high on goes the second time she says it)
4. The One ( Give homage to Stephan for being a good lyricist, and calls him slightly dirty, she said she is kinda going through this right now-this means this is on the cd she said all the songs tonight that are new are going to be on my new cd)
5. Heroes and Thieves( Dedicates to Stevie, and adds a little at the end)
6. FOOLS LIKE ME! (about loosing love, made me tear up, clearly about Stephan.)
7. Nolita Fairytale(Piano in the chorus is just cordial) (PS Leave her alone for her voice cracking a little....)
8. Home
9. A Thousand Miles (Before the last tonight she gets her hat that she left on the ground stands up for about 11 seconds and just looks around and then finishes the song.


I went early and got to see her sound check she did Ordinary Day, White Houses, Nolita Fairy tale, House, and The One

She confirmed that she is defiantly over with Stephan, and she seems kinda bitter about it, like he screwed her over..
I love that she publicly premiered 4 songs! (Home, Nolita, Fools Like Me, Heroes and Thieves.) On FLM she really went for it... she totally blew a lot of her voice out... You can tell she really likes this song a lot... it sounds like a mix of Home, and Half a Week for the Winter.

Music from the show soon. I have to take a shot to buffalo to get the recorder i left there
