Vanessa Carlton Explores Mumford & Sons' "Cave"
« on: July 25, 2011, 06:44:46 am »
Vanessa on Mashup Mondays.
Awsome cover!!! Also a beautiful performance of Carousel!

"I like the Mumford and Sons song because it's very simple and lovely and almost like a little bit of a nursery rhyme," singer/songwriter/pianist Carlton says of why she chose to cover the UK band's song. "It says a lot about life."

Though she usually works in the a soft poppy vein while Mumford hits the sweet spot of modern rootsy folk/rock, both artists have chart success. Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" scored the No. 1 spot on Pop Songs in 2002, while Mumford's 2010 song "The Cave" earned the No. 2 spot on Rock Songs.

Carlton is busy doing more than mashups these days. The 30-year-old Pennsylvannia native's brand new album, "Rabbits On The Run" is out July 26.

This is HILARIOUS.

I JUST posted a new thread about the band on the "Other Musicians" thread.

I LOVE this band.

I can't see the video. They are saying that the video is no longer available? HELP.

She did a good job. But it wasn't awesome. I just think she should have chosen a better song. There are other songs that I think she could have done. But it wasn't bad. :) as isaid b4, she needs smiles!!!!! Vanessa smile more!!! It looks lovely when you do!!!! :)

edit: I listened to the original song, and didn't really like it much... so i guess that's it. :)
