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.

No that's awesome!!
I also believe White Houses is her best song. It's incredible that you got to know her, after forgetting her so many times. It was fate ;)
Anyhow thanks for sharing your story!! ;)

"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.

haha. Great, what a detail explanation. Harmonium it was just so great. I really hope that, also.

Best Behavior, that song is magic.
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

I love "Best Behavior"!

But I'm still holding on
Maybe we can still be friends

Meet me there, in that afternoon
The longest day, the 24th of June
And what did I say, I didn't mean to
Push you away
With anybody else, it never feels true
I cannot explain what I've been going through
No matter what I do, it's only you


Ahhhh, I love it!
