Vanessa Carlton

Hey guys and gals,

 

I was just wondering if anyone here are fellow Vanessa Carlton fans. I'm in ABSOLUTELY LOVE with her music! She's got such a simple voice and is probably is the BEST pianist that ever lived!!! :wub: :in_love: She sang really popular songs like "A Thousand Miles," "Ordinary Day," and "White Houses." Vanessa's only had two albums, "Be Not Nobody" and "Harmonium." She recently moved to The Inc. Records from A&M Records this past summer and her new album is scheduled for sometime next spring called, "Heroes and Thieves." The track "Heros and Thieves" is said to be, "about how we don't know who comes in our lives, whether they be good or bad." Vanessa says, this album is, "the best patch of songs I've ever written"

 

Here're some of Vanessa's vids for those who don't know her.

"A Thousand Miles" is simple yet profound.

"Ordinary Day" is a magical song! (The music video for this song rocks!)

 

Those two are my personal favorites.

I love Vanessa! My favourite songs are Private Radio, Who's To Say! :)

Ditto... 'Harmonium' has some awesome tracks like PR, WTS, SF and others. :ermm: Hopefully "Hereos and Thevies" will do a lot better... I have a good feeling about this album. :rolleyes:

Well, I just heard snippets of Vanessa's new album-Rabbits on the Run- and it sounds great!! Very basic (no wall-to-wall sound), but very melodic and deep as well. The only complain I have is that it's way too short!! Does anyone know if more songs recorded, but didn't make the cut? Also, does anyone know when Vanessa is going on tour to promote this album? I kinda interested in seeing her perform this songs!! Thanks for the help!! =)

I'm personally disappointed in "Rabbits on the Run." The album sounded completely under-produced, as if the whole thing were a shabby demo tape. I hate to say it because Vanessa'a last two albums were two of my favorite CD's of all time--by any artist. The songs on ROTR had amazingly high potential, had Vanessa signed with a major record lable who could produce an album with a "full" sound. As far as I know, she's currently touring to promote the record but I wouldn't expect anything big, considering this was a small independent release.

 

Hopefully Vanessa finds her way with any future releases... she seems to complain a lot about working with major record lables but there's no doubt that those albums sound much better. I hate to say it, but I'm not a very big fan on ROTR. :confused:

 

Nice to meet another fan on here, nonetheles. :D

Nice to meet you too AllCeline! And thank you for the help! :)

 

To me, ROTR sounded something like Joni Mitchell's folk albums with some over-dubbing. I actually thought that less was better. But who-knows. Do you know where she is having her concerts? I heard one is in NYC, which is way too far. I wasn't expecting anything big coming from the fact that she has not really made it on the radios beyond her debut album. I hoping at a couple college auditoriums for her tour in the States though would work. So only 10 songs created/pulled to make the album,eh? Sounds like real old school...10 songs per album! Haha

 

Hopefully, she does find a major label that she can work well with because she is a great talent that isn't getting noticed! And I think she is much better than most of the popular artists out there, like Katy Perry.

As far as I know, the only other show is gonna be in Illinois. They've re-opened her website so you should be able to see all her upcoming dates on there or just add her on Facebook. I would've loved to see her live. Good luck!! :thumbsup2:

OMG!!!! I've LOVED Vanessa Carlton since I was 7!!!! I have all of her albums and I've been learning how to play A Thousand Miles on the piano. I haven't heard Rabbits On The Run yet, but I'm gonna give it a listen ASAP!!!

You'll never see the courage i know. It's colours richness won't appear within your view. I'll never glow the way that you glow. Your presence dominates the judgements made on you.

 

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights. The shades and shadow undulate in my perception. My feelings swell and strech, I see from greater heights. I understand what I am still too proud to mention to you.

 

You'll say you understand. But you don't understand. You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye. But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie.

 

You'll never touch the things that I hold. The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own. You'll never feel the heat of this soul. My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown.

 

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights. The shades and shadows undulate in my perception. My feelings swell and strech, I see from greater heights. I realize what i am now too smart to mention to you.

 

You'll say you understand. You'll never understand. I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why. I don't know what to believe in. You don't know who I am. You'll say I need appeasing when i start to cry. But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie.
