As usual, I'm in a tricky predicament
Weather in my thoughts, on the roof sneaking a cigarette
Dear California, it's been nice to know ya
Tell me will you miss me when I'm gone?

It's this "whether" not "weather," right? Unless if she's being poetic and describing her thoughts as jumbled.

I don't see why it can't be "weather" tbh. It makes sense, since she's standing on the roof in California.

I'm glad she didn't say NYC. Tennessee rolls off the tongue better.

I agree, but I thought the significance of the city for her (as far as we know) would make it the better choice

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: All Things "Rabbits on the Run" Part 2 New Release Date 07.26.11

Alrighty guys, I took it upon myself to create some "extended" previews taking the amazon.uk and iTunes samples and splicing them into longer tracks. 

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST THESE TO YOUTUBE OR ELSEWHERE.

- Each track is about 1:50.
- "Hear The Bells" is not included as the new preview covered the old one.
- On some tracks it is more noticeable where the mark is simply because of the quality difference between amazon and iTunes.

Enjoy!

This is so awesome of you to do! Thank you!

Anybody know what she says at around 0:40 on the 1:30 sec previews?? I can't make it out for the life of me

Sounds like "Oh it's been so long, so powder soft, serene"


Based off the itunes and Amazon snippets:
…moonlight
Or have you lost your constellation eyes
Well, you could give it time
I wish I could be there, wish I could make it right

Don't you worry, you'll soon be on the mend
And that's no trick, that flicker (fleck?) of radiance
And you'll feel lucky, darling, I'm sure of it
You'll figure it out and get good again

Na na na…

Stone wall, running, hills of green
Golden dust and dandelion scene (sea?)
The powder soft, serene
Oh it's been so long
Since powder soft, serene
Yeah, it's been so long

But don't you worry, you'll soon be on the mend
And that's no trick, that flicker (fleck?) of radiance
And you'll feel lucky, darling, I promise you this
You'll figure it out and get good again

Na na na…

You said you don't know why you don't feel free
No it's not true but I know what you mean…

  I was so hoping it was all just a big mix up and we'd still be getting it 6-21. I cannot freaking believe they moved it back 3 weeks before the release, so that now there's 8 weeks to go again. This makes me so mad, they should have had all this stuff sorted out so long ago. But at least we have the clips and the Starbucks rips, and hopefully the album will just leak soon now since they've already sent it out to reviewers, etc. I feel bad saying that about a leak because I'm usually the person waiting to listen to everything on the release date and never before, but pushing it back this close to when it was supposed to be released is so. ridiculous. I've been through a lot of (excuse my language) fuckery as a fan waiting on album releases, but I've never seen something like this. There's obviously nothing to do now but wait and get what we get, but I'm not going to be pleased about it.

I'm very surprised she kept the "From London to Tennessee" line as is. I figured she only said Tennessee in the Nashville recording because that's where she was, and I thought for sure the final version would say "NYC" considering London and NY are so special to her. Guess I shouldn't try to predict what will come out of her head though

And in the end
Begin again
It's the way of all things
Your body's like
A wishing well
A million diamonds
Bones to dust
Bursting into a million diamonds
Carry on
In the end
It's the way of all things
And it will be beautiful

Vanessa Songs / Lyrics / Sheet Music / The Marching Line

« on: May 31, 2011, 07:15:01 am »

From the itunes 1:30 snippet + Amazon snippet:

….(black?) clouds, like (black?) cathedrals
The night hits the sea
And I walk to the highline
Ships gonna take me at midnight
The storm's sounding (heading?) out like an overture
It's time to join the marching line

Take back your best
Don't know what love is like
A bullet hitting the chest
And I never say it
Never known a day without
The quiet regret

And so I walk to the high line
Ships gonna take me at midnight
Storm's sounding (heading?) out like an overture
It's time to join the marching line
And leave it all behind
And join the marching line

And there's no captain, no calls
What's your name?
An army of one...

Will you miss me when I'm gone
Cause he loves me as I leave
So I've gotta go
I'm not in companies when you feel it most
When you keep my memory
I hope you keep me close
Would you love me as I leave

This alchemy is making me suspicious
As if I slipped you some belladonna
That I crossed town to get (reminds me of the witch doctor lines from HTB)
And you know, yes, my grand friend chugs it (?)

Oh he loves me as I leave
So I've gotta go
I'm not in companies when you feel it most
When you keep my memory
I hope you keep me close
Would you love me as I leave

I'm as changing as the seas
It's my only hope
It's just me and my pup and the open road (Kerouac and Charley pup tweet, remember?)
But your face is like a papercut to the heart
Fileting (?) while you sleep

It's easy, it's easier
Than it seems
It's easy, it's easy
Than it seems
Just go, I'll go
Don't cry
