I like the statement, and the stevie thing... but I am not sure about the song.... i will enjoy it because it is Vanessa, but, it is like different

NolIta Fairytale LYRICS

I know, you know, We don't see
So are truth wait patiently

I walk the streets with a song in my head
     We ebb and Flow so
Got my toes on my pup at the foot of my bed
     My heart always seems to know
take the glitz back, I want the sole instead
'Cause I found some kind of fairy tale

I use to hover ouside my truth
    Always worry what I do
Take away my record deal
    Go on I don't need it
Spent the last 2 years getting twards real
    Now I can see so clear
I hope you feel just like I feel
    I found some kind of fairytale

Wanna garden by the ocean tide
Cuz i lose my way searching for stage lights
Stevie knows and I thank her so
cuz its your seeds I sew
And Now I know

Nolita flat on rent control
    That's the life I choose
Drag me to the fashion show
     the poses I see through
Movies in the afternoon

Cuz' I found some kind of fairytale
(HEY!Ba da da da da da)
NoLIta Fairytale (Ba da da da da da)
NoLIta Fairytale (Ba da da da da da)
NoLIta Fairytale
NoLIta Fairytale
NoLIta Fairytale

    Go on I don't need it
Spent the last 2 years getting twards real

I hope you feel just like I feel
    I found some kind of fairytale

Wanna garden by the ocean tide
Cuz I loose my way searching for states (Lights?)
Stevie knows and I thank her so
cuz its your seeds I sew
And Now I know

(Mean, I'm glad I break control???)
    That's the life I choose
Drag me to the fashion show
     the poses I see through

(HEY!Ba da da da da da)
NoLIta Fairytale (Ba da da da da da)
NoLIta Fairytale (Ba da da da da da)
NoLIta Fairytale
NoLIta Fairytale
NoLIta Fairytale

i think line 7 should be "take the glitz back, i want the soul instead", and line 22 should be "Nolita flat on rent control".  Other than that, everything looks right

I think the second line should be 'Cuz i lose my way searching for stage lights'

Anyone else?

er... i love the song, but I am not sure about the broken lyric fragments and the static two note chord ostinato. I am not sure I can stand so little development within such a short pop song--- it's ok if it's art music but i don't find this too appealling in many cases of manistream pop. There is really no real chorus.. and i am a bit dissapointed about that, but the bridge and part b of the verse is frickin' beautiful. Not having a chorus in a pop song is one of the riskiest things you can try to pull off so good luck to vanessa. Also, I would really love it if she resolved the "tale" in fairytale. Ack it bugs me to death and the word tale seems like it's tacked on. I was imagining the word "fairytale" would be smooth and open as fairytale is a very "pleasant" word.  I would have prefered if she stayed on the same pitch for tale and concluded with the resolving chord after the piano ascending line, so I think vanessa's approach for that word is questionable. Also the reggaeton beat in the beginning and ending is just plain weird..... the whole song sounds like very WASP-y rock-mainstream and then comes in this reggaeton beat.... seriously, did lumidee come into the studio for a visit on the day this was recorded? I would have prefered some kind of piano prelude using the bridge piano ostinato. I am also wondering why in the world nessa would want to start the song on beat 2 of the measure.... just weird and i cannot come up with any plausible reason why that would be cool unless it's just to trick listeners into feeling that the two chord ostinato is very syncopated.

 Man... I really hoped for a straightforward pop song with that great touch of vanessa (something like ATM) but it turns out vanessa is gonna take a risk with this new song (there are many things that are risky.. good? bad?? i don't know). I think this song would sell if everyone just heard the bridge and focused on the instrumentation and very optimistic tone of the song (I really like the optimistic tone). I think these are great strengths, but there are some weaknesses I feel that might not make this song as catchy as it can be.......... so let's see what happens.

by the way, who likes the "hey!" at the ending vamp? It kinda sounds like an avril lavigne gesture quoted from girlfriend :p well, as I said let's see how well this song will be received... ATM is still THE perfect song from Vanessa Carlton.

NolIta Fairytale LYRICS

I know, you know,
We don't see
So our (?) truth, wait patiently

I walk the streets with a song in my head
We ebb and we flow so
Got my toes on my pup at the foot of my bed
My heart always seems to know
I take the glitz back, I want the soul instead
'Cause I found some kind of fairy tale

I used to
Hover outside my truth
Always worry of what I'll lose
To take away my record deal
Go on, I don't need it
Spent the last 2 years getting to what's real
Now I can see so clear
I hope you feel just like I feel
I found some kind of fairytale

Want a garden by the ocean tide
'Cause I lose my way searching for stage lights
But Stevie knows and I thank her so
'Cause it's your seeds I sow
And now I know

Nolita flat on rent control
That's the life I choose
And you drag me to the fashion show
The poses that I see through
The movies in the afternoon

'Cause I found some kind of fairytale
(HEY!Ba da da da da da)
NoLIta Fairytale (Ba da da da da da)
NoLIta Fairytale (Ba da da da da da)
NoLIta Fairytale
NoLIta Fairytale
NoLIta Fairytale

My 2 cents: I corrected some parts of blueglove's transcription.
If someone can find the missing parts though...

edit: I'll keep editing it with your help guys, thanks!

Wow... I already effing love it! Mind you, it's like 6 in the morning and I saw this and I was like, "What the French toast?!?!"

THIS IS SO COOL!!! and I really do hope that V gets a good response to this via radio. Although, the "Hey!" did remind me of Avril's "Girlfriend".

It's all really catchy, foot tapper, gets stuck in your head, and I can't wait to learn this on the piano! Someone... transcribe??? lol  

It's so awesome that she mentioned Stevie! Now, that's appreciation right there!

Anyway, THIS (again) IS SO COOL!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[Martin.]

A lot of people I've sent it to seem to like it and share the same opinion. Here's one persons:

"I'm likin this and the mellow feel to it. She definitely doin something different and that's always good."

It definetley doesn't sound like what's out at the moment, so I think that'll work in V's favour.

Either way, it's a hot song.

[Twilight_Angel]

I love you. I LOVE YOU!! omfg OMG give me a minute to get over it!!!!!

[Gingernut]

I love this song! It's so fresh. I think people are gonna love it

edit: Ghisy, are you sure it's 'states lights?' I'm sure I can hear her pronounce a G. And I think stage lights makes more sense, lol

They better do. It's about time Vanessa got some recognition and success.
