Parts of Vanessa's songs that give you goosebumps

[Rabbits_on_the_run]

I was listening to Vanessa in my car this morning, as usual, and was thinking about all this parts of V's songs that give me chills everytime I listen to them. It can be only like 1-2 or seconds or maybe a whole song. I'd be interested to know if we fans share the same favorites So here's my the list, with no specific order, I'm looking forward to read yours

1. The very end of "Spring Street" when the voices singing "na-na-na" fade and for a brief second, the last "naaa", you only hear V's voice.

2. The part were Vanessa double tracks herself on "This Time" when singing "It just seems I should confess / Who am I to pretend"

3. The screaming/fake choir part in "She Floats"

4. Every single high note in "White Houses" and "More Than This"

5. The moment in "The One" were the song kind of re-starts after a few seconds of silence (starting with "But you'll always be my golden boy"

6. Still in "The One", at the end of the song, the second "I don't need you to tell me I'm the one" that she sings without Stevie Nicks.

7. The choir part in "Hands On Me"

8. The choir part in "More Than This" - "Let's make this our story...."

9. The beginning and re-start of the song in "Annie" (piano part).

Well, I probably have tons of other I just don't think of at the moment, cause I gotta go... Sorry if Im bothering you with another thread... again...

-The instrumental pieces in 'Twilight.'

-"So hold on, the days gone by, tell me now can you feel it?" part in 'Annie'

I love that someone started this thread!

The entire outro to "Home" always gives me goosebumps...there are a ton more that I could mention but that is the main one!

[Pushglow]

- At the end of San Francisco, I'm totally hooked on her background vocal after each "you tell me I am home"
- The last words of Home: "I'm coming home, coming home"

I don't get goosebumps, but the second verse in "My Best" (I know it's been so long, I can't ever seem to forget, etc...) always touches me for some reason.

[Serentic]

"I know it's been so long, I can never seem to forget" in My Best,


"Key under mat, I walk the dog, order in, home alone," and "Sing for the aftershow, those candy colored lips, but, your age is showing and you've gotta work harder for it" in Fair-weather Friends,

Most of She Floats, Hands on Me, and White Houses, and that Naaaaaaaaaaah she does before the bridge in Nolita Fairytale,

All of her version of Where the Streets Have No Name,
and

"You say you're scared, you're too close, come let's see how it goes. You see me now, at the show, the seventh in the seventh row. Now you look at me, and see what I've known for so long, sad that you could be so lovely and so wrong" in The One.

And also Come Undone and the piano parts of Home.

and like a dozen other ones.

-Your #5
-The instrumental part of the bridge in Paradise.
-The Home Outro.
-The part in "Who's to Say" where she sings "we won't fade to gray-ay-ay-ay-ay" haha, I don't know how to spell/describe it, but it's pretty sounding.
-The bridge in "Half A Week Before the Winter" and "Afterglow"

I forgot Who's To Say! And that's one of my favorites.. D: <3

[WhiteRabbit]

Lol like most of the ones that are above already

[[sobriquet]]

I like the "Who we are, Who we are, Who we are, Who we are, We are, We are" part on the encore version of Who's To Say.

"Let's make this our story; Let's live in the glory" of More Than This.

Outro of Home.

"Maybe you were all faster than me" from White Houses.

The last instrumental part of Ordinary Day.

The bridge of Hands on Me and Heroes and Thieves.

I think there's a part that gives you goosebumps in every Vanessa Carlton song. She talks about this transcending moment in songs where you feel emotionally connected to it.

Carousel.

"i know I made a mess of things, and I'm sorry for all that" London

Beginning of Annie, actually, most of the song

Wreckage.

"Don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
Don't pretend to hold it in just push it out
Don't you try to hold it in just let it out and
Don't you try to hold it in you hold it in" -Paradise (made me burst into tears driving home from high school one day.  It was a very emotional time for me and each song on BNN resonated with me, especially Rinse and Paradise).

intro to San Fransisco

HOME. Entire thing.  Start to finish.  Favorite part is "for me, it's a glance, the smile on you face.  the touch of you hands, an honest embrace.  for where I lay it's you I keep, this changing world may fall asleep.  for me all I know is I'm coming home, coming home." (building piano is just AMAZING)

that's all I can think of for now!

Wreckage.

Totally forgot about "The Wreckage" for some reasons it's been a while since I haven't heard it. It's one of the songs that most affects me emotionnally, though.
