I don't think Nolita Fairytale is one of Vanessa's "mature" songs. I actually think some of her most mature songs have been unreleased. I still think Swindler is her best song to date, and Morning Sting is pretty mature as well. Nolita Fairytale is very much like a page out of her diary and I thought she said she was through writing about herself a few years ago. Or was that someone else? I forget. Anyhow, I like her more abstract music more. I like Heroes and Thieves and Nolita Fairytale is, meh, ok, but I hope there aren't even more songs on the album about her music industry struggle. There was already This Time before all those, and My Best might be in the same topic area, too. That might be a little bit of overkill. I know they aren't all exactly the same, but they do have a similar sentiment.
