General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Re: Liberman
« on: August 20, 2015, 04:57:32 am »i guess i'm the only person here that likes the guitar driven material just as much?? for me it adds a new and interesting dynamic.
personally i love get good and the live version of a matter of time. the guitar for get good sounds like a pretty dusty field and an abstract painting to me; and there is piano in it, it's just buried under the guitar.
me and my friend realized that young heart would've really taken off if they had recorded drums to it. my friend played along to it and it took on a whole new life.
You're certainly not alone. I LOVE "Get Good." It's one of my favorite songs on ROTR, and that's saying something since there are a lot of great songs on that album. It's a song I've really connected with. In fact, I think I'll listen to it right now
And I agree about Young Heart. I rather like that song, too, though I'd love to hear it with a fuller production.

Personally I had not noticed TIE and O were so similar. I have never liked Take It Easy anyway. But Operator makes me feel so good.
I am looking forward to listening to the album.
Nothing Where Something used to be is also a very good song. My favorite one of the EP so far.
I am waiting for House Of Seven Swords, Unlock The Lock, Willows and River above all.
We are not sure about the tracklist. I hope there would be more new songs. I don't like A Matter Of Time come to that.
But what worries me is how the voice is dealt on the disc. I really hate her voice on Young Heart and Blue Pool whereas the songs could have been absolutely perfect.
We will see.
But anyway I am still in love of her music. I really like how she has evolved since ATM.
I personally dislike her take on guitar driven songs (Dear California is an exception though). Like what you mentioned, A Matter of Time and Young Heart... gag. It's inspired because of John but like I said before I have nothing against the guy BUT Vanessa radiates on her piano driven songs. That's why we became fans in the first place. So it's just awry to me that she's trying new things and venturing other paths. Stick to what you know V. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Haha. This reminds me of how scandalized some people felt when "Nolita Fairytale" came out and started not with a piano, but with percussion! Such a departure!
I'm at peace with the fact that Vanessa has entered a new era with her music. I don't think she'll ever return to the kinds of mainstream productions we were used to hearing from her before ROTR. I'll always kind of miss that (I mean, can you imagine "Bride" or "Fairweather Friend" with a "Heroes and Thieves"-style production? Unf.) but the new music is so lovely that I don't mind. At its core, I think the music is still largely the same: mostly piano-driven, thoughtful lyrics, catchy melody, and of course Vanessa's pretty voice.

I've gotten the "x" LOL
(it's still more acknowledgment than most celebs give their fans on twitter, so I'll take it haha)

I'm listening to the studio version of "Operator" for the first time, and I can actually imagine hearing this on the radio. It sounds like some of the stuff that's big today. Maybe the chorus could be a bit catchier. But making this a single would be a good idea, I think.

"Hopefully I will see people on the road in the fall and it’s so nice to be back. So much has changed in the ways that they should so I’m looking forward to reconnecting with people out there that like my music or that want to hang out on the road and go to shows."
Is she saying we'll get a chance to hang out with her? Sign me up!

Wow, so "Operator" is a ROTR outtake (idk if we knew that already, at least I didn't haha). That's really cool! Imagine getting a chance to go through her library of old, unreleased songs

"Saw your buddy, said he talked to you last week
Said you seemed pretty bummed, you've been wanting to call me
Do it, do it"
That part gives me so many feelings
I've decided in my head that this song has a happy ending - he calls her and they get back together and now everything is perfect

Wow, it's really pretty. It doesn't even sound live, because her voice is so flawless. Really looking forward to this EP!

The piano intro is everything. It's so delicate and haunting and tantalizing. I can't wait to learn to play it.
The song itself - particularly the vocal melody - sounds like a sea shanty to me, like if KT Tunstall's "Shanty of the Whale" had an instrumental.
And the entire last minute sounds like an Enya interlude. Such a rich sound, with the wandering piano line and the soft humming and everything.
Altogether a really beautiful, peaceful, fascinating song.

I have a very similar photograph! Several years ago shortly after Heroes and Thieves came out, I was in NYC (I grew up nearby) and made a point of going there so I could see what it was like. Nice neighborhood by the looks of it!

So do you think we'll get a single in August/September before the album's release?

Thank you for posting Blue Pool! It was funny to see her go over the lines. I like how it kind of sounds celtic?

Thanks for approving my group request, Manny! Listening to River right now. It's so pretty, but obviously that comes as no surprise!
