Random Facts about Vanessa Carlton

[Morgan]

I think the bathtub fact is pretty mean to spread around.

Tsk tsk.

Other than that, really interesting facts, haha.  :lol:

[iluvvanessa]

didn't Vanessa say the first song she wrote was Little Mary?
...I think i remember that from an article..

ya i remember hearing that to..

how the first song she wrote was about a girls who killed herself..."little mary"

It's about suicide, but i love the song:

Oh little Mary
Don’t you jump now
Little Mary show them who you are
Show them what you are
and Little Mary takes a fall
All the way to heaven

Her feelings always trapped inside her perfect little heart
Her image is secure
She had to do what she had to do
To keep a perfect little Mary
It’s always a perfect little Mary that falls she falls
And it’s always a perfect little Mary that falls
Mary falls

"Ordinary Day" was the first song Vanessa ever wrote.

first song she wrote... in one sitting.  not the first song she wrote, ever.

she, at our concert said it was the second full song she ever wrote... and the first one was so bad she forgot it, but i remember her talking about Twilight as being one of the firsts.. also Superhero

she introduced ordinary day like this at every tour stop in 2004.  She would mention how she is sometimes very ADD and has a hard time finishing a song in a sitting and that Ordinary Day was the first song she ever wrote in one sitting.

If I can remember correctly, she was playing with play-doh and has a desire to eat them... I think that's what she said but i'm not really quite sure...

Well, half of those facts mentioned in the first post of this thread can be found on the Exit/In disc.  She uses ugly words, explains the origin of the song "Wanted", and mentions her ADD and "Ordinary Day", among many other things.  Her West Hollywood show from several years ago is a good source of stuff she's said.  I've noticed that Play-Doh is now labelled to say "Fun to play with, but not to eat".  :razz:
