White Houses

[chaseterwilliger]

This song describes my life. I started the year perfect then I blew everything with a guy. Had 4 boyfriends since September 2011. I kept this guys secrets. Our secrets. Of wat we did. I broke up with him cause my friends were pressuring me. I didn't want 2. Tht was the worst mistake of my life. I h8 myself 4 it. Now he h8 me and is being a jerk. He broke my heart by calling me a whore then broke it again by telling me he h8 me and never will want me again. I luv him.

[animalcrackers1721]

Love this song...

[chrissyteex3]

I can play this on the piano 2 :)

[jinxxx93]

I love to play this on the piano...and it´s very easy :)

[Missanadsantos13]

So talented

[violetgirl1996]

u guys should watch "vanessa carlton gets punk'd" its hilarious.

[krishanakj]

Love this song

[midnightebony08]

she's gorgeous

[wakeandbakesam1]

This song reminds me of my 20's. Im 63.

[tkdstar1997]

It's hard to decipher the meaning of some of Vanessa's songs, which makes it unique. I've been wondering for a long time what White Houses meant, and I only found out about it today. :) Vanessa is just remarkable. More power to her! :)

[lovablenezzy]

@BladeAndSoul u spelt misstake wrong( it's supposed to be mistake) just saying but I really like this song but I didn't know it was about losing ur virginity it's my little sisters fav song she is 6!

[Bdlsito]

she's gonna be my wife...

[sevans94]

@Bdlsito funny because Carlton doesn't wanna be a bride.

[nessaholichu]

She looks incredibly gorgeous in here, though I love her hair curly.

Love Vanessa and so happy for Rabbits On The Run! YAYA!

[musicismyname7]

@nessaholichu I like her hair like it was in H&T, if that's what you're referencing. I agree that it was too straight before, and looks stunning when it has a little curl. :)

[nessaholichu]

@musicismyname7 Yess, exactly. In H&T she had a beautiful hair! And now as well :)

[medic0803]

love ittttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­

[codedbox]

i wanna lose my virginity with her :| even if i am not virgin anymore ;|

[codedbox]

rush of blood and a little bit of pain... mmm... :/

[theEPshaq]

She's hot... Yup.



[medic0803]

I love it!

[BrokenandBreathless]

In awe everytime I watch this! -3

[1kicka1]

Really amazing, iv only just discovered this singer, lover her piano playing the most!

[Rolando055]

VAnessa CArlton is such an awesome singer.

[thrillman]

The bass line is pretty badass.

[xxxxcuponoodlesxxxx]

i thought when she said "what i gave is your to keep" she meant love :( i never knew any of this was about sex! ive been singing this song since i was a 9 D:

[BladeAndSoul]

@xxxxcuponoodlesxxxx Lol it's not bad singing about sex, it's only good that she lets girls know that you should save yourself for the true person that you love, make sure he really is the one you love so you don't do a misstake.

[rockavstar]

I think that the band is a little too loud in this... Also the drummer seems a little off the pace.

[LuisGuardado]

love it

[teinz904]

lmao watch the drummer i think he loves jamming to this song!!

[MakeItTogether]

the drummer loves ittt

[fearlessguitar]

omg i get goosebumps <3

[AzaliaAudrey]

I love this song so much... I love u Vanessa... ♥♥♥☺☻

[lyris1]

I love how so many of the comments are from uptight Americans focusing on a couple of lines in the song. I love the US, but it's juvenile.

[RBFF123]

Beaut-i-ful

[snappiivee]

she went to ballet camp. shes talking about experiences she had. only one part of the song is about loosing her virginity. when she says "what i gave was yours to keep"

[TheCatBoyWonder97]

COOL!

[martdriver]

I think she looks really pretty here :)

I love this song, just learnt how to play it :)

And I Love Vanessa :)

[X0amhxo]

She's a tripple threat! singing, dancing, and playing the piano! i love her : )

[ellezeigcruz]

did u guys hear her in the beggining?? the crashed?? she went to high...but she still did amazing

[MsNessaholic]

♥ cih liebe es :P

[IrkonDigital]

look at that drummer!! (especially at a minute, fifty one seconds)  he's into it SOO much, it's just funny how he looks like a bobble head going at it. lol

[laurennnx22]

oooo oops...i thought it was about summer camp lol!!!

[XLnotsofunny]

@laurennnx22 it is about loosing your virginity in summer camp haha.....so you are partially right lol

[laurennnx22]

@XLnotsofunny nope its about a girl going to dance camp (thats white houses) and losing her virginity. close(:

[KarlinLangleyMusic]

@laurennnx22 it's a little deeper than that

[laurennnx22]

@KarlinLangleyMusic true, true. but i don't need to go into full details, do i?

[Parcero26]

Am I the only one who think she looks like Alexa Vega but with darker hair?

[TheMovingPiano14]

yeah a little bit

[ayahh2296]

@Parcero26 soo true

[curtainpower]

Mazzles - she drops it down a key so it's easier for her to sing.

[mazzles112]

this is in a different key to her album version :/ does she like record it then shoot it up a few notes? i do like the song though :)

[trot123456]

where did she go??????

shes so good live and great songs

[kteekat]

she has a new album coming out and an amazing album "Heroes and Thieves" which followed this one. I agree she's so amazing :)

[DanParry445]

i like the drummer

[ekirabc]

i luv this song... the meaning is confusing though....

[theforbiddenfruit789]

watch Vanessa Carlton | White Houses Acoustic @ VH1 by RetourauPasse

She explains it there

[ohnoazn139]

@ekirabc its about losing your virginity

[Crazetex]

It's talking about losing your virginity.

[shivsterduo]

No it's not about losing your virginity... "White Houses" are places dancers go during the summer for intensive training before going to a ballet school and she's talking a girl experiences there, and part of the song it IS about losing virginity, but it's not all about that.

[medic0803]

excelent!

[Tarzybabyxx]

@shivsterduo oh my god, i never knew that! always wandered what the video was about!

[MichelleTheAwesome]

Nevermind. I didn't read the previous comment.

[MichelleTheAwesome]

Angelfire2356, it's not the official music video.

[tsak]

I love this full band version. :)

[iluvpie124]

i can sing this perfectly live and cd versions!

[carbo147]

wow, i said it once and i'll say it again..this chic rocks and i dont know if the official video is the one where she was dancing and playing the piano..as in there were two of her..who knows? was that the official vid?

[angelfire2356]

yeah it is the offcial video for white houses.

[PerfectlyHonest]

wtf this isn't the offical video for white houses

[laurennnx22]

@PerfectlyHonest i know right?

[agenthelios]

Great voice. Amazing piano playing. I have been playing for 12 years. Its not the complexity of the notes, just the fluid way she plays. You can always tell a good player by finger movement. Vanessa ROCKS!

[drumminggod91]

who's the drummer?

[Hannibu]

It is Abe Laboriel Jr.

He played the hole recording session for her first album incl. the hit "a thousand miles"

[blairerox]

she was really nervous in the beginning

[The1a2z3]

My favourite song .......luv it

[SweetNothingness2008]

i cant find the official music vid anywhere. wtf

[bailey24rules]

its put up by universalmusicgroup

[twilight4xoxo]

she looks so pretty here!! i love this song, it never gets old. they shouldn't have cut out the piano solo though.

and i just love the drummer. :P

[kat7061]

my friend Hallie got me completely attached to this song

[NiTroSg]

Wow, she looks beautiful in this =D

[MaandyWheeler]

she's really talented, this song is great

[casiesilverman]

she still looks like she's in that bubble... going along with all the popstars.. shes better off right now where she's free to create her own music without having to have someone label her and judge her as someone perfect

[sexymusic14]

Vanessa Carlton is really talented. She writes her songs, sings, plays piano and she can bloody dance! I've been searching for the official video for quite sometime already where she danced in it. The video was taken out from the site previously saying that it was not available in our country. Luckily it was posted again by JeanetteChannel. I just love the song and her dance routine. She was studying to be a professional ballet dancer before she decided she wanted to be a singer instead.

[how2gamerz]

i can now play it on piano :0

[juliustoys]

GREAT!^^

[geminibaby28]

i can never get tired of this song. relates to so many people, the lyrics are beautiful and she has an amazing voice!

[jovey4296]

OMG She is BEAUTIFUL! and her voice is quite lovely! i would totally marry someone like her ^.^

[sweetXcheeks1357]

shes soo pretty!! and she can sing! and play piano!

[MrMatiasman]

she plays piano? and this song puts ma cat to sleep, lol he passed out on a chair that smells like my nieghbor's cat LOL

[dotxx3]

i love this song so much! <333

[NYCEx]

drummer killed it

[suuuuupersonic]

ahahhaha look at him bobbin his head around.. about to have a damn aneurysm!

[BrittanysMusicVideos]

she looks fabulous here and i just love how the piano, guitar, and cello all blended so well

PS: LOVEEEEEEE this songgg!!!!

[miakabum18]

i love it!

[whitehousesvc729]

What?? She cut out the piano solo?? =[ i love that part!! It really helps the story flow, and it fits pretty well. C'est la Vie, (ha! I got one of her song titles in a sentence! lol) she did an amazing job anyway

[STarAirwave]

wow she look so good in this vid

[SaSsiiix33]

geiles liied ich ♥diie stimme:]

[dscharbitch]

wow my older sister was addicted to this song once she lots her ......

[iluvjoebros359]

[Marshallsg]

Dude, that drummer drums for Paul McCartney now xD

[CHRISNICX]

[baileepurple]

wow shes like amazing

[lebloobloo]

lmfao i love how she smiles at the part where she sings "my first time.." :)

[Vegabondsx]

She's one of the few artists are are just as wonderful live as they are in studio and sound relatively the same. Great job Vanessa!

[coco0272]

i'm addicted to this song.

[CelestiaHeart]

i no, me too ^_^

[luckyshell321]

i can play this song on piano but not as well as her !

[HocusPocusPas]

she is great! really talented

[mikeybyotch]

It's about sex, we know. But isn't it clever? It's a nice life soundtrack. Like, your first "come." The line RUSH OF BLOOD... should be played. ;)

[lilsoup4life]

hahaha ma english isnt perfect but i heard the word he was the first .... hahaha well but well idk O.o ..... xD

[stepinnoutdanceco]

wow

shes really good live

[coolio730]

omg!!

in the beginning, her fingers are like floating!

she plays the piano SOOO FRICKEN WELL!!!

i enjoy playing her songs its just so entertaining! i love her!!

[warpedmind05]

beautiful song and voice

[shrttiekid]

she changes her voice after the first line

haha i like it though :)

[nl6]

That's because she was singing in falsetto. It wasn't a mistake.

[leleyoungg]

nice song

[thevoicewithin1]

I totally love this gem! <3

[TimeTrial555]

it's about sex...i never knew..she made it sound so innocent WOW

[KnittingShieldMaiden]

Lol...thanks...I think.

~purl~

[KnittingShieldMaiden]

I wanna be Vanessa Carlton. I've been classicaly trained in piano for 11 years and I've never enjoyed playing pieces more than hers. And she sings in my key. Which is rare!

~Purl~

[brendalikeschips]

Sounds like you're pretty close to being like her anyways! :)

[chrisrobertshow]

she so so so talented im jealous

[BRAVES1976]

One of the best songs ever! She is one of the few artists that could pull this off either with a band or by herself. A powerful song.

[AlmasyAlliances]

A good kisser? That's not even clever.

[Nebanuitul]

try to ask an opinion of a girl not on the internet.

Or a what u network cable kisses better than girl?

U retard.

Sry for ofttopic

[wednesdayribena]

Vanessa is really good

[eirinbe]

Aw, this song is so beautiful!

[TwilightWonders]

i like a majority of this as much as i like the official one lol. :)

[cowboykid88]

Oh, and the bass player looks like Jim Carrey.

[cowboykid88]

She was 25 at the time. Great singer, great song.. and so beautiful!

[Dojan5]

This song makes me happy for some reason.

Makes me think of The Sims... I'm so weird.

Love the song 5/5

[EternityMode]

the first time i heard this song it was a sims 2 thing. And this song gives me some sorta emotion, and when i listen it reminds me of the sims too.

[trot123456]

you made me laugh reading this!

[Dojan5]

Good :P

[OboxerU]

I remember seeing this on TV. Going through some things in my own life and it really pulled at my heart.

[xiiaoCHUNKY]

she's the best singer!! among all live i watched.. she's 1 of the most pure talented singer..

[grifter53]

she is good live

[skullogram666]

she's hardcore O_O

[Marshallsg]

Lol! Her drummer now drums for Paul McCartney

[weluvnewfies]

This song is one of the most meaningful to me.

AND ITS ONE OF HER BESTYS

[xe83061]

this video is back hell ya it was like missing forever

sweet i love her more than everyone else here

[Cookiebell514]

i love her soooo much.

[JasonIsAwesom]

i saw this live and i loved it!!!

[DannyNoriega4ever]

im teaching myself to play this song right now :)

[ipohellbanger]

she's amazing!

[suumi5]

This is good song!

[denzciocute]

a sad song for me T_T

[LonelynPathetic]

She actually has a good voice compared to some singers!

[GavinDegrawlover]

omg vanessa is a god. :]

[jlst86]

goddess* ;)

[destinyrocks20]

everybody says miley sucks and vanessa is better!!!!

WHO CARES IF YOU THINK MIKEY SUCKS "IGNsucks"............NO BODY DOES!!!!!

got that!

[snakerichie000]

she's good her voice is too old

[twilightfan20]

i just love this song

[tricaltra]

It's great to hear a song that actually focuses an lyrical content, these days most pop songs seem to just concentrate on having a radio friendly hook.

So Vanessa Carlton writes her own songs, plays an instrument, and sings (live)...how refreshing. Too bad she doesn't get more recognition.

[OboxerU]

Sadly, that is not as marketable as some of the other gimmicks on the top 40 right now.

[AdiiLoki]

she looks stunning in this video

[xaarrx]

She is fantastic, so nice and excellent artist

[anyaxxxx]

shes pretty good live

better than miley

[IGNsucks]

dont even compare the two, fuck Miley Cyrus

[Danzaaii]

Miley's a piece of shit along with JB.

Vannessa kicks some serious ass.

[OboxerU]

what date did this air on SNL?

[julz413]

1:50 - 2:00 u can see d drummer feeling it:Pyeah":P

[wendy3529]

love this song

[DementedDitch]

she's really good live!

[kaytiy]

is this song about her getting raped by somebody she trusted? I've heard rumors that's what it's about.....?

[Irishathlete20]

no its about her first time. and losing her virginity to soon.

[lanedeg]

i think she just slept with someone and decided that he was a mistake after. thats what i think.

[secreteflower]

No.

[simplyangeli08]

haha <3 this song

why did she change the key of the song though?

[carbo147]

this is such a lovely songg..lllloooveeeddd it from the moment i first heard it....and bambi, she's cute!!
