I know this is an old song but im soooo glad she is back :DDDD Its great to know a person as well rounded as her is still doing what she loves best... its beautiful :)
This might sound really stupid but I just realised that theres no star rating system ha I've been using the thumb up and down thing for ages and just never noticed the stars weren't there anymore
@TakonekoChan Every time I watch this video, I always read your comment and feel bad, so even though I've already pressed thumbs up a million times, I always press again it for you. haha.
it is a shame, pretty girl, Great talent, but...no fame,....instead of Vanessa being famous its fake music from computers and young girls who just have a pretty face with no talent and are just as dumb as a post......as you can see from my user name....i like Vanessa a lot .... lol
@lovechaos06 Like she means her heroes save her from theives, or heart breakers. What i get from it I THINK this is just my opinion i think she is implying "heroes and theives at my door i cant seem to figure it out anymore" to me she is saying there are 2 kinds of people and having somany relationships and having her heart broken she cant tell if she can trust people anymore then she finds that one person. That is what i get out of it.
Right after this song came out, I fell in love with it, and latched onto every word. I immediately went to the piano and figured it out, and it's one of the songs thathas always held personal meaning for me. It's such a genuine, "real" sort of song, and the confusing, happy, mixed emotions portrayed I really relate to. Probably my favorite Vanessa Carlton ever with "Home" as a close second.
I love this version!! has anyone heard the one with just piano its awesome Vanessa Carlton rox and i can sing her songs without sounding terrible she has such an amazing voice
To me its a love song, where she states she doesnt know who loves her for who she really is (Heroes) OR who loves her because they Want Something From Her (Thieves), and when she finally 'figures it out' that her 'darling' is actually a 'hero', she doesnt have him anymore. thats the chorus.
The rest is about her progressing through her understanding of 'Heroes' and 'Thieves'. And i guess,she also says, when she figures all of this out she will be coming back to him .
i luv this song! i luv all her songs. but the song is about how when u get older u have to separate the good ppl from the bad ppl. separate the heros and thieves.
the girl had to friends hero and thief her boyfriend said she shouldn't be friends with them but she didnt understand it until he left and she wants him to come back i think
Well, it can be pretty much anything. It could be what IkariKumori said.
In my opinion, "Darling" is obviously a loved one. Heroes and Thieves could be a metaphor for a decision that has to be made, and "At my door" probably means she has to make it pretty quick.
In general, it's probably about an ultimatum, thats extremely hard to pick, but has to be.
i think it means like she doesn't know who are her friends for who she is or just cause shes famous/has money. well im basically about to say what phounk said so just read what he said (: it explains lots
but. this is gonna sound really bad. in a way, i kinda like having our own little fanbase. and when people ask what music i like, seeing their faces when i say vanessa carlton., they have no idea who she is XDDD it makes me feel kinda unique. and having all you guys here is so friendly too. even though we have no idea who each other are but we're friends anyway cuz we like vanessa....
=^.^= i sound like such an idiot i know but...yeeaahh. it's how i feel y'know?
her music is just so...comforting? i can't think of a word for it (probably b/c my vocabulary isnt wide enough xD ) but honest to god everything of hers is just so poetic. it really makes you think. just...THINK. its' different for everyone i know..she just puts all of our emotions into words and song beautifully.
dude this is totally happening to me all the friends that i thought were my friends im like not sure any more and i really hate it because the one person i want to be with doesnt live in my city so its like shit than all my friends i cant like trust anymore so my life is a dump but still adventurous <3 (: haa
This is such a beautiful song. I love it. The version with just the piano is good and a little more romantic, but I like this one better, because it has a stronger beat. :)
It's not that she's "better" than them, just more 'authentic' and creative. Unfortunately, it seems that her latest pieces appeal to a smaller crowd compared to miley cyrus, jobros, demi lovato, rihanna, etc. But she seems happy with her music, and that's all that matters. It's beautiful how she doesn't allow the media to influence her music, and her fans as well. Original. Period.
awesome and catchy song - she is my HERO!!! beautiful voice + writes her own songs + relateable & smart = music role model! i hate that people like spears and madonna are more popular then her ~ i dont hate them, but vanessa is 100000 times better!
Vanessa Carlton has an amazing voice, beautiful piano playing, & shes a gr8 dancer, her music is deep & emotional 2. If fame wuz based on talent & hard work she'd be THE most famous person EVER (& Miley Cyrus wud b dead last)
Vanessa doesn't have the most WOW voice, but (before I'm bashed) she has talent and originality, something most artists nowadays don't have. Also, she writes HER OWN SONGS and doesn't depend on others to ARRANGE the music.
i agree but she sounds great in the studio and totally kick ass in concert! I listened to miley and she sucked live (not 2 mention shes soooo fake vanessa is actually herself!)
this is amazing... she deserves a WHOLE lot more credit then miley and britt and just all those people.... Vanessa is sooo talented all those other over rated people lip sync and cant even play another instrment
I actually like both versions, but I prefer the other one for some reason. This is sort of.. slow and more melodic, but I just seem to like the other one more because it brings out more of the piano.
is this the official album version, or is the other version (the one that has over 300,000 views) the official version? i admit i like this version more.
i totally know where your comin from. I started listening to her because of the lovely piano playing, but it wasn't long before i was buying all of her songs.
beautiful song! love it :)

As I heard this song,
I immediately downloaded it on itunes.
Its one of those special songs that you can relate to.
This was mine.
All of Vanessa's songs have a special meaning.
She's my idol.
Since I have none,
I look up to her as if she was my sister.
