Sheet music for Vanessa Carlton songs.

[zurielshimon]

I thought she did usually play it in C live.  It's in B on the album.

No, because if you compare the album version and the live versions, the album version is half a pitch higher than the live versions.

It's either that, or I have hearing problems...

I'm gonna have to check this out.  You have me intrigued.

The album version is definitely in C Major on the album. Van plays it in B Major live. It's not that hard to figure out what key each version is in, b/c I'm a musician myself; I have an ear [sometimes a weird obsession] for what key certain songs are in.

For the Chord Illiterate, Here's a list of what key most of Van's songs are in:

A Major/F# Minor- Best Behavior [around D chord], Pretty Baby [ends in Bb], Wishin' And Hopin', Annie [around D chord], Red Ditty, or Sway

Bb Major/G Minor- Private Radio and Wanted

B Major and G#/Ab Minor- ATM, White Houses [live version], All Is Well, and Rinse

C Major/A Minor- White Houses [album version], San Francisco [F in the bridge], Ordinary Day, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, Devil Dance, Afterglow, All I Ask, Paint It Black, Twilight [ends in D Major/B Minor], and Paradise

D Major/B Minor- Superhero, Where The Streets Have No Name, Swindler, Prince, Sway, and C'est La Vie

Eb Major/C Minor- This Time, The One, The Wreckage, and PYHOM

E Major/C# Minor- Who's To Say [around A chord], Everybody's Got To Learn, Ameriteen [B Minor in middle], Unsung [ends with E Minor], and HAWBTW

Gb Major/Eb Minor- Papa and Morning Sting

G Major/E Minor- Time Is On My Side, She Floats, and Birdie

Correct me if I'm wrong about any of these [which I'm pretty sure I ain't].

I dont want to sound entirely n00bish, but, here goes.

Does anyone know where I can get a pdf of A Thousand Miles?

The instrumental version, as opposed to the version thats already up there?

[Martin.]

I really don't know why Van plays White Houses In B Major live, b/c B Major [or G#/Ab Minor] is a rather hard key to play in b/c it had 5 sharps. It's the one I have a hard time perfecting, so I prefer it in C Major; but it is easier to sing to, though.

I thought she did usually play it in C live.  It's in B on the album.

No, she plays it in B live and it's in C on the album.

You're right. The confusion started because we had started out talking about "A Thousand Miles" and then someone else started talking about "White Houses", and I hadn't noticed the subject had changed suddenly.

I like playing unsung on the piano. But you have to play it on they right key, not the one in the bnn sheet music.

[maag]

Well, in the sheet music it's in C, but down in the first page it says: "Music written a half step lower than the recording". At least, it's a warning.

I know, that's what I meant. If you play it on the original key sounds better.
