V's Most Underrated Songs

[ryan9315]

I'm not sure if there is already a topic like this because I don't post here too often. Please direct me to one if there is!

I think it's fairy obvious that Vanessa is incredibly underrated by the music world today. That's different though amongst her fans though. I thought it would be fun and cool to share each others opinions on which Vanessa songs don't get enough credit.

I don't really know how this is going to work since I don't talk to many other Vanessa fans so my opinions of what is underrated or not may be off, but oh well.

I think This Time is really underrated. I've lurked these forums for a few months and I don't see too much talk about it. Even on Tumblr, I don't think I've seen it posted once.

It's a really great song and I think more people should listen to it (big Vanessa fans or not) because it's something everyone can relate too. Plus, it's a bit vague as to what type of relationship is being referred to. For me, I can see it both as a relationship with a significant other or just a friend, and I think that's what I like about it.

I'd say Spring Street too, but I can see why people don't like that one that much.

I think a lot of songs from the demo tape are underrated, like last fall and little mary.  On the official boards (old website) there was some talk about this time, but have not seen it too much on here.  I think it's widely liked though!  There is an entire thread on spring street, I'm sure there is one on This time.  I too don't spend enough time looking through all the threads...it can be hard as a late joiner to look and read through YEARS of posts.  Lately a lot of talk is mostly about Rabbits on the Run and the five new songs we've all been hooked on!

I agree. This Time is a great song. It's just one of those rare songs that carry you away.

I hate her vocals on "This Time". I like her performance of it at the Living Room (I think?) in 2005 better.

I could see why. She really pushes her voice on the choruses. It's like a whole chorus of that part in Fools Like Me where she says "breakin".

Wow, such a hard question, are we talking underrated by the general public/media or by her fans?

If its the former, then honestly all of her songs including A Thousand Miles which really was one of the best pop songs of the 00's but I never hear it on radio in Ireland/UK.

If its by her fans then I think Home, its such a beautiful song with beautiful meaning, fantastic melody and great outro.

But then again you have Unsung, Sway, Paradise etc etc etc .... far too hard to pin it down to one

oh gosh, theres so many! i agree with the ones already suggested on here and i also think that Red Ditty is underrated. i really enjoy that song for its simplicity.

Another one I forgot to mention was Superhero, I'm really loving that one at the moment, should have been on Be Not Nobody, oh and Dark Carnival.

Either/or, but probably more so her fans. She's underrated as a whole by the media.

I agree on Paradise. Love that short instrumental part before the bridge.

Easy.

Hands down it has to be Meggie Sue. I could listen to that song all friggin day and not even get bored. It's so brilliant. I call it the prelude to 'She Floats'

yeah!  Agreed.  I think the demo tape as a whole and her as a whole go unappreciated by the general public.  they don't know what they are missing.  They'd rather listen to selfish rappers and watch girls shake their assess.
