Annie. It is the best one to sing along.
I know it's hard to fit in
This puzzle called life
But if we stay along the edges
I think we'll be alright

Papa, of course: so much fun to play the piano.
I think it's the best piano accompaniment/piece that she composed.

If only she had other pieces like it...
"The road is ahead of us, so let's start out today...The people and the friends that we have lost, or the dreams that have faded... Never forget them."

I have so many, it's really hard to choose just one. So I'll choose one from each album. ;D
Rinse: Dark Carnival, it explains so much of how one feels.
BNN: Pretty Baby, this song has always meant a lot to me, I've never really known why, cause I've never truly been in love.
Twilight, yes I know it's two but I love this song ever so much. I even named my cat after it! This was the first ballet costume I ever designed.
Harmonium: Afterglow, the words speak to me. Annie makes me want to cry and laugh at the same time. The wreckage gives me goose bumps and Who's to Say speaks miles!
H&T: The One, Stevie and V who could ask for anything more. Home it says so much of how I feel as does More Than This.
Ok I went a little crazy but I really cannot just pick one!
I was stained by a role in a day not my own,
cause I've seen Twilight.

Okei, thanks 4 your answer, I loved it, very detail ;)

Yeah I named my cat Twilight she's black and white and she was a stray. And I was listening to V when I found her.
This was way before the stupid book craze.

White Houses. That song has helped me through so much. I first heard it when I was 14. Still my favorite song ever.

As of right now, I'm changing my favorite song to "London."

I feel a connection to the lyrics... or just the mood of the song.
I'm not totally sure.
:P

London is just a precious yet powerful song. I cannot wait for a studio version! Then a remix. I am really liking the melancholic direction her new performance pieces are taking. Studio versions for all.

Hmm....oh my gosh, there's too many!

But if I have to choose, I'd choose "White Houses" because it was the song that made me re-discover her.

After "A Thousand Miles," I'd actually forgotten about her *gasps*. I remember, back in '07 (I think), I googled her name, came up with her website. My reaction: Oh, really? Her new album's called "Heroes & Thieves"? The next day, I forgot her name. Again.
I remembered the name last summer. I googled a random word which just so happened to be "harmonium" and came up with "Harmonium is the second album of Vanessa Carlton, etc..." I remembered her name and picked a random phrase from the article. I found it in the tracklist, and it was "White Houses" and it all goes downhill from there.

Too long? Sorry.
Miracles DO happen! =)

"White Houses" is my favourite song by her because not only is it the song that helped me discover her, but it's also beautifully written & produced. The strings work so well against the piano & vocals.

Do I think it's her best? Nope. I think "Half A Week Before the Winter" is her best song, lyrically. "Papa" is so intense and dark. I love her vocals on "The Wreckage", too.

'Heroes...' had some great songs, too. "More Than This" is easily the best song on that album and one of her best songs in her career. If that's the sort of stuff she's writing about alone, then she needs to ditch Stephen.

However, I really do want an album like 'Harmonium'. I miss that Vanessa and she hit the nail right on the head; 'BNN' wears a nice dress whereas 'Harmonium' wears a t-shirt & jeans.
