Dear California is kinda like a Marit Larsen song    catchy/upbeat, but with sad/melancholic lyrics

of course please keep in mind these were recorded INSIDE a Starbucks.

(also, I cannot and do not take full credit for this )
you might need to turn your volume way up, this is probably the best that can be done until we get the official-official album versions.

ENJOY!
also, if you share, please make the notes I made, we don't want people thinking these are straight from the album lol these are the "starbucks rips"

Just wondering Kulp, how did you manage to rip the audio? It's almost so clear lol. Did you record near a speaker or was it blasting there?

Does http://starbucks.yahoo.com play the songs?

If anyone wants to try, you can use Audio Hijack Pro on Mac to rip the sound from your computer. We'd have a good quality of the song lol. Just a suggestion if anyone wants to do that. You can only listen to the online radio using Starbuck's WIFI though. So, you'd have to actually go to the store. Audio Hijack will rip the song.

Dear California is wayyy too cute, catchy and radio-friendly to not be a single. Not that I care whether VC makes it to charts again.

IDWTBAB is wow a trite but still decently catchy.

I'm not getting FF just yet. it reminds me A LOT of H&T.

anw melody wise, these 3 songs are so different than Carousel and the supposed vibe of the album. Compared to Carousel they are energetic and robust. I was kinda expecting a dreamy soothing and fantasy sound but I guess VC still retains some commercial elements (IDWTBAB and DC got me hooked the seconds the songs start!)

oh my effing god, finally Vanessa, finally. 4 years.

[Patricius]

I'm really anticipating the album more than ever now. And this is what I get for listening to the songs early. ._. Still well worth it.

FWF: This song has definitely grown on me. It's catchy, and I'm hoping it's the next single some time.
IDWAB: Haunting at first, lulling as it goes on. It definitely still give me that sense of yearning. I absolutely LOVE the bridge/ending! ♥
Dear California: It's so upbeat. It reminds me of Queen's "Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon." At least, I get the same vibe from it. (There's your potentially commercial song Perez.)

AMAZING!

IDWBAB shows such great growth in V as a songwriter. Beautiful finale too.

Dear California wasnt really my thing for the first few listens. But man has it grown on me. I'm singing it everywhere!

FF I'm not sure about. Am I the only one who really prefers her original live version from Hotel Cafe? I must have played that version 100s of times and I think it was perfect. I also much prefer how she sung the phase "Fairweather Friends" at the end in the original. I suppose she thought it was a work in progress. I'm sure the new one will grow on me though.

Overall I'm SO STOKED!!!!

for a while I didn't realize there was another version. lol.  The original was the only one I had on disc that I listened to in the car.

[SparksFly]

Just listened to the original. I also like the the way she sang "fairweather friend" at the end too and the last little piano notes she does.
