Nolita Fairytale-First single??

[Ghisy]

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

Now that you say it, it may well be "stage lights" and it does make more sense.
I'll edit my post, thanks. What about the rest?

Yep, I've been singing along to your version and I think most of its good I can't really figure out the parts you question though, sorry.

Oh and piano players, It seems so simple to play.
The 'I walk the streets with a song in my head
We ebb and Flow so ' Part only seems to be chords, I can't really work out a piano part for it... the chords are: F#m, A, E, B. That's what I get anyway.

OMFG THANKS SO MUCH!!! I LOVE THE SONG! IT IS JUST FANTASTIC :D:D. I cannot wait for the release!!!

[Emmyspiano]

thank you so much. I love this, it has a new fresh sound, seems summer-y. I just have to get used a brand new V song studio recording.

NolIta Fairytale LYRICS

I know, you know,
We don't see
So are truth, wait patiently :arrow: (huh??)

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 towards 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
Stevie knows and I thank her so
'Cause it's your seeds I sow
And now I know

( *can't figure out the words*) I'm glad I break 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...

( *can't figure out the words*) I'm glad I break control = Nolita Flat on Rent control.

YES YES!! good job!

NolIta Fairytale LYRICS

I know, you know,

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

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 towards 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
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 fairy...tale

NoLIta Fairytale (Ba da da da da da)
NoLIta Fairytale (Ba da da da da da)
NoLIta Fairytale
NoLIta Fairytale

just basically confirmed one of your guesses, and i think the other would make more sense if it was "our" instead of "are"

jeez.. i dunno guys.. i loved the clip.. i'm not so sure about the song though.. i'm sure it will grow on me, i guess. but i really think hands on me would be a better single. this one is very pointed.. if someone doesn't know the whole story about what happened with vanessa and everything, they're going to be like, wtf. i really don't like the line "spent the last 2 years gettin towards real." it seems.. i dunno.. it just doesn't sit well with me.

i like the 'ebb and flow' line, and the 'hover outside my truths' line..

i think the problem i have with the lyrics is, she gets really close to really great lyrics, and then the personal stuff ruins it for me.

great verse.. but the pup line is just weird and doesn't fit to me. that's basically the same for the other verses.

i really don't want to complain. because i am excited about having a new song. it's just going to take some time for me to get used to it i guess..

thanks for posting!  :blob:

So are truth wait patiently

i think it's
We sow our truth, wait patiently

[jlmusicchick]

toward's the real should be changed to: to what's real

thanks for posting, it's fantastic :-)

thank you.. i think i like it better than the clip, but it's going to take some getting used to and i don't know how non-nessaholics will react.. i don't know. and about the weird lines.. i don't like the stevie line either, it's really weird to me and kind of cheesy. but i don't want to judge too quickly, and i have to trust vanessa..

[ordinaryday6]

yeah.. the stevie line, the pup line, the 2 years thing.. the seeds i sow is weird too.. i don't get it..

sigh. but. enough complaining.. :shrug:

[rainforestspirit]

Wow!!! Thanks so much for posting. I can't believe I visited here last night and then I wake up and it's like omg we have a whole new song!

My 2 cents : I love the song!!! Great! But I agree with others that it is WAY too personal for it to be a single on the radio. People who are not her fans (and by this I mean big fans who are nessaholics or posted on her official website) are going to be like wtf!!! (as ordinaryday said). They are  not going to want to listen to it cause they don't understand it. We all do of course and that is probably why I personally like it so much. She is being very open about her personal life and I love it.

I also agree with jsbachsonata - that the beginning and end are too reggeaton and it just doesn't work well that way. Plus the fact that there is no chorus is just plain weird and EXTREMELY risky. And I agree with everything else s/he wrote - I am just not a musician so I could never write it out so that it made sense.

Again, I must say as I have said several times on here, HOM would be a much better choice for her first single. Risks can work well sometimes. However, come on V we want you to go right to #1!! And with what happened to the second album, risks are probably not the best choice at this point.

I totally understand she wants everyone to know why things didn't work out before. But seriously, we want this record to do extremely well and I just really don't see that happening if this is the first single. I would LOVE to be corrected come Oct. but I am just trying to be realistic. Please, Irv, release HOM first so that V can go straight to #1 and the album sells really well!!! Or fix some of the things in Nolita Fairytale so that we have a chorus!

Okay, that was probably more like 50 cents. haha. sorry!

[Jophess]

Yeah, I'm not sure if no chorus is the best choice. Maybe the "Nolita Fairytale... ba da da..." at the end will constitute as a chorus. I can see people walking around humming it.

Let's just trust V and Irv to promote it correctly. I can see it being a hit. I really do like it, it's great, but I have a feeling that I'll like the other songs on the album more (based on the songs we've heard).

Thank you soooooooo much bran88 for posting this...


well i dunno what i think abou it really...i really like it, but i dont know the non-nessa fans will react to it..
ya i definately dont think it was a good idea not having a chorus...but oh well...
i just hope it does well

[PianoPlayer12]

hey...is someone gunna start working on the sheet music yet??
