Completely Off-Topic / the best day of your life?

« on: March 26, 2004, 12:31:36 pm »

i used the search but didn't find a topic already like this one... so here it is.

when was the best day of your life (so far) and what made it special? mine was august 31st 2003... that's when i found out my love liked me back and we had a family reunion and i got to party with my family and realized how important they all were in my life. but those experiences brought me out of depression too. so it was very fulfilling

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Liza Gibbons just said what the 1st single is!!!

« on: March 07, 2004, 09:55:53 am »

EDIT: Straight from Vanessa, first single is "White Houses" -BV

okay so i'm in the family car with the parental units on the way to church, and ATM comes on and i was like "yay!" and of course started singing along and stuff. well when the song was over, (Liza Gibbon's Hollywood Confidential was on), Liza comes on the air and says:

"that was Vanessa Carlton with A thousand Miles, on Hollywood Confidential. i love that song. Vanessa's releasing a new album soon, and the first track being released off that one is a song called MORNING STING.we'll be lookin' for that."

SO, if what this chick says is true, that's the first single. but can anyone actually confirm this?

*yay!*

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / Vanessa mentioned in issue of YM magazine

« on: February 24, 2004, 08:16:12 pm »

this was a LONG time ago... but i was flipping through the october 2002 issue of ym magazine (i found it in the mess in my room lol) and read an article on organizing that i had skipped before. it's just a little piece but i thought you guys might want to see it if you haven't before.

this was about cleaning up a huge mess in your room (haha i was cleaning my room when i found the mag).

"Now block off a Saturday afternoon and conquer the disaster area that is your room . Blast Vanessa Carlton (singing is allowed too) and dive in.

just thought ya might be interested!!!

Completely Off-Topic / My life's gone to hell...

« on: February 16, 2004, 11:20:23 am »

okay things between me and my stepdad (which have been BAD before) just got all better, and now i'm almost close to him. SO yesterday i found out that he might move to Kuwait for a year for this job, and I DON'T WANT HIM TO GO!!! and if he doesn't end up moving to kuwait, then our whole family might have to move somewhere else out of state, and i don't want to leave home. i GREW UP here. i cried for like an hour last night. i am so confused it scares me!!! either way it's going to be bad. and i know people have it worse... but it's hard to think that way. i'm so upset today... just pray that he doesn't get this job!!! everything's gotten worse just when it was all better.  :cry:

Creative Endeavors / Over You- a song i wrote

« on: February 15, 2004, 04:22:41 pm »

and i was NOT over anyone when i wrote it. i was actually inspired by my best friend... well here it is.

I'm so happy
'cause i know i'm finally over you
now i see
just how much better i can do
you wrecked my whole spirit
but i didn't feel it
until it was all over
and you broke me
as you spoke to me
but the sting of your words
was masked by your false sweetness

so now i say
so long, goodbye
never again will i give in to your lies
you're not real to me anymore
so long, farewell
never again will i fall under your spell
you mean a little bit of nothing to me

i'm as happy as i was when we first met
i've gotten rid of what's destroyed me
guess i didn't know what i was gonna get
when i crashed into your heart
but now i see
just how cruel love can be
and i can thank you
for teaching me what not to want

and now i say
so long, goodbye
never again will i give in to your lies
you're not real to me anymore
so long, farewell
never again will i fall under your spell
you're a little bit of nothing to me

Other Musicians / Rush

« on: January 27, 2004, 03:54:58 pm »

forgive me if there's already a topic on this... i didn't see one.

YES, that great Canadian trio known as Rush. Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart. their last album, vapor trails, was released in 2002, and the're touring again this year. i LOVE rush. the music is so inspiring and awesome and the lyrics are deep. does ANYONE else here like them?

Creative Endeavors / Bad Dream... by me

« on: January 20, 2004, 08:34:29 pm »

It's driving me insane
not having you around
something strong
is keeping us apart
I find myself
talking to nothing
listining to silence
waiting for the light
to shine on me again

the only thing i can hold on to
the only thing keeping me alive
is the dim promise of tomorrow
I miss the butterflies
that came with your voice
I miss the light in your eyes

I know you truly care for me
but i need you to know
and i want you to see
how badly I am bleeding for you
as i linger in this heartache

I wish this were a bad dream
cause i'd wake up
and you'd be here again
washing away my fears
so shake me just a little
cause I might wake up
and I can live again

Creative Endeavors / Rise Above

« on: January 07, 2004, 04:45:01 pm »

okay... i was extremely upset the other night and just started writing. don't laugh!!!

i try to wipe the tears away
but they keep coming back
i try to stand up on my own
but i fall back to the floor
that you left me to die on
i'm lying cold, alone and bruised
and i don't think you even care

but i'll keep trying to fly again
til i spread my broken wings and soar
i'll find a way to be happy again
even if i can't have you
i'm not saying it's gonna be easy
but you have to sink a little
before you rise above

i remain on the floor
but thing aren't as bad
as they once seemed
and yes i still cry
but i'm not as torn as before
slowly i rebuild my mind
and teach it to live alone
but now i'm starting
to rise up off the ground

i'm not saying it's gonna be easy
and i'm not saying it's gonna be tough
sometimes life seems more than
just a little rough
but you have to sink a little
before you rise above
