Apparently, young piano player Vanessa Carlton had another life before she became a Pop star - that of a ballerina. And in her upcoming video for her new single, "White Houses," she finally gets to prove it. Carlton told MTV, "There's a bit of schizophrenia in the video. I'm a musician who just sits there forever, and I'm someone who likes to jump around and move. I actually have legs!" In the video, while Carlton sits at her piano and sings, another version of herself gets up and dances around and on the piano.
Of the song itself, she said, "It's about jealousy, it's about losing your virginity, it's about living on your own. It's a story that most people can relate to, that chapter in your life from 16 to 25, where you're trying to figure out who you are, and you go through all these triumphs and tragedies on a daily basis, and how they shape you. It's really the journey of one girl and her perception of her environment and how she starts out as a wide-eyed person, but everyone gets hardened by life, but not necessarily to the point where you can't feel anymore — all these things, in one little snapshot of a song." "White Houses" is the first single from Cartlon's upcoming disc Harmonium, which hits stores on October 19.
