Rabbits_on_the_run, of course that is V, haven't u watched White Houses video? :)

Oh... how humiliating :P White Houses is actually my favorite music video =)

And here's my tracklist ;) :

1. Rabbits On The Run
2. Tall Tales For Spring
3. Fair-Weathered Friend
4. Best Behaviour
5. London
6. Instrumental
7. March 21st
8. Faster
9. Moneymaker
10. Irv Gotti's TV show song =)
11. I Don't Want To Be A Bride
12. Carousel

Deluxe edition bonus track :

13. All Is Well



Where did you get those titles? Are those pure imagination or something? If it is, I would say that I like your thinking.

Thanks =) I completely made up the "March 21st" and "Faster" tracks. and yes, Joey, there probably won't be a song called "Rabbits on the run", but I'd like it though... We never know, don't forget to unroll your eyes in case there is one... lol And I'd love an instrumental in the middle of the album =)

Does someone have an idea of the name of the song we heard on Irv's tv show??

Okay, I hope it's not the real title. I have a problem against song titles with an A in capital letters in it... lol I was so relieved when I first read that V's third album will be called Heroes & Thieves and not Heroes And Thieves. I'm weird I know.

First: grammatically, words such as 'a' 'the' 'of' 'and' are not capitalized in titiles.  Second, here are my thoughts:

While I think she could go in the direction of ending on a happy note with a song such as Carousel, I hope that she takes it in a different direction, for she has done the storybook beginning and ending with Heros and Thieves.  I instead hope she takes the approach of starting on a light note and ending with a dark one (Harmonium-esque I suppose), using a song like "Tall Tales for Spring" to end.  This also may be why she at first chose to name the album after that song -- it would be the ending to the album and would act like a little bow on a present, tying everything together. 
I don't think she would do the telling a story idea for another album; I believe she has more depth and creativity than to do the same thing over again.  I also don't see her using any older songs in the album, as she has grown past them in a way and are no longer relevant to where she is right now (that also may be why I have seen comments in the past about her looking so bored when singing "A Thousand Miles").  Though I too would enjoy studio versions of ALL of them, including demo tape ones, on a separate "never before released" album.
 
The imagery of the album art will most definately be dark.  Black and white with little if any color (possible bursts of red or geen). If there are any sceneries they will take place at night with a moon playing a dominant role.  Instead of the American "Man in the Moon" sentiment it will reflect the rabbit in the moon, as many cultures see a rabbit rather than a man.  Also the fact that the album is Rabbits on the Run.  I also pictures wolves -- white wolves to be exact -- possibly howling to the moon as "wolves howl to the moon, and she never answers back."  This also plays into the whole rabbit in the moon idea.  Maybe I am taking this all very literal, but that's what I envision.

 Furthermore, a March 20th release date speaks to me.(and i was inspired by the previous post with the march 21st date as a song title, it got my brain going..)  It is the spring equinox -- a day traditionally thought of as equal amount of light and darkness.  The ablum seems to reflect that with positive songs like "Carousel", and "I don't want to be a Bride ," along side darker ones such as "Tall Tales for Spring" and the melencholy "London."
Funny that also this is Easter time...rabbits...
There are also many religious implications to this release date, but I don't see V as being overly religious (or maybe that's just me projecting). Though "Tall Tales of Springs" is most certainly about Christianity and the faith related to it.
Some cultures/religions hold the Spring equinox as the start of their new year--new beginnings -- this album could signify a fresh start; a departure from what has come before.
 
umm that's all for now!

That was a lot. Thanks for sharing those ideas!

On the contrary, I'd love the track listing to start on a darker note and to end on the lighter ones. Like from fall to spring.

Floating on the sea, stars are watching me. Currents take me out, what will be will be.

yes, it was a lot! I had a lot of time to think about it before I posted. 
I can see the idea of fall to spring rather than beginning to end like a book.. something to chew on..

First: grammatically, words such as 'a' 'the' 'of' 'and' are not capitalized in titiles.

Sorry, but that's completely false. I've been a writer for ten years now, so I know a little about grammar. "The" in "The Happening" is capitalized. "The" in "The Sixth Sense" is capitalized. What it comes down to is a matter of style. Some people do it one way, some people do it another.

Thanks for backing me up =) To me, when it comes to songs titles, books, movies, etc I always write every first letter in capitalized letters and that's how I see it in newspapers and stuff :)

What about when the "the" is not the first word in a title? When it's in the middle. Same question with 'a' 'of' 'and'.

English is not my first lenguage so i want to know : )

err, guess I recalled wrong because I do not write as a profession but do care for it a great deal.  I also question the middle of the title rather than the beginning.
Any other thoughts on the entire second portion of the post? The one relating to Vanessa and the album?

No problem, Rabbits_on_the_run.

Sarab, the link you posted is correct. For the creator of that website, her way is correct; for me, my way of capitalizing all words is correct. We're both right. It's still a matter of style. Some people hate it, some use it religiously.  :)
