Vanessa Carlton ~ Fair-Weather Friends (1st version)

[violetgirl1996]

beautiful! can u believe that i was actually disappointed at her new album at first? but after listening to this song, i started listening to the rest of her songs nd they were all beautiful!! haha this is real music

[harveypotato]

You should change the lyrics you have posted now that the album has been released with the lyrics insert and you know what you posted is wrong. :) 

[lightsmirror]

@harveypotato Still this is the first version of the song, not the studio album version(even it if is a old post.) TBH i still prefer this one.

[MaktabaHalo]

OOOOOOOOKMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGG I love this. So Much..it's retty sad how much I've listened to this.

[KendraMiller7]

This song gives me such a good feeling in my gut and i absolutely love it, this song will keep me going.

[21jd]

Just saw her do this live on Friday and loved the song. Although I thought she was saying "A magical pink earring gets us by." Oh well, can't wait for the album.

[aidenmaxinacronus]

@21jd haha that made me giggle =)

[vanessacarlton546]

Awesome song just one of my favorites so far she is amazing i can believe she's back again with her beautiful music i got her album on itunes

[whitehousesvc729]

It's funny. When this video was first posted, I was going to be a Freshman in high school, so naturally, the line "It's always easier with freshman" bugged me a bit.

Now, the album is finally going to be released when I'm about to be a Junior. It's just interesting to see how a song progresses from point A to point B and how it's meaning changes to someone as well, because I sure as hell lived through that line Freshman year.

[Echochi1]

GAH I LOVE HER!! I can't wait for this song to come out! when does it come out btw?

[bEeAatrizZ]

@Echochi1 "Rabbits On The Run" will be out on June 21st. This was the first version of the song, she has changed it a lot since then. Look for the most recent version on YouTube so you won't find it very different when you listen to the album.

[millie12345679]

This song is AMAZING! I've been playing it on a constant loop for about a month now. If this were any other song by any other artist I would be sick of it by now. But I'm not. I'm in love with this song.

[waterkeeper511]

I heard this song is about Stephan Jenkins and contains references to Third Eye Blind songs...can someone verify? I can't think of any except "pour the vodka, it dulls Sharp Knives"

[digitmotorsport]

@waterkeeper511

So true about Stephan Jenkins. I love the part about "But your age is showing, and you gotta work harder for it"

cause Stephan is getting on abit to be trying to bed college freshman groupies. The more you learn about those two and the reasons they split the more you can appretiate this song and in fact alot of the album.

[gameboy11]

Hard to understand some of the lyrics but I really like the piano and the use of the female falsetto here--don't know what to call it! ^_^

Can't wait for "Rabbits on the Run"!!

[ayahh2296]

Beautiful melody really! I love her and think shes so talented i really wish this album could come out sooner! But its coming out this spring so it's not that far away! Can't wait!!!! :)

[chiquitodelg]

I cant wait to hear the studio version :D

im really diggin the new songs!

i hope the album drops soon :D

[DADADOoOM]

What does "magical thinking gets us by" exactly mean?

Ps: This song is amazing!

[Noellenc]

@DADADOoOM It was something about a book she read that described the psychology of magical thinking... sort of like since the world for us is as we perceive it, then we can believe what we want and in a sense construct our own reality... I think, I could be off! "You didn't really mean it, and I don't have to believe it."

[sedona3player]

Ok I'm in love with her in a totally straight kind of way

[SilverFadingLove]

Where did you get this? Please send it to me?!

[SquidneyD]

Where'd you find the last photo of her?

[ariannabanane]

Highly looking forward to the new album, It's been too long! :D

[caligirl2191]

I absolutely LOVE this song. If the rest of her album is this good I think it'll be her best yet!!

[Inupuppieoxox]

Vanessa Carlton's 4th Album is called Rabbits on the Run and is coming out at the end of 2010.

[JamirC18]

@Inupuppieoxox R u sure. I don't want to get excited for nothing.

[Inupuppieoxox]

@JamirC18 Umm the title yes and when I posted it said the end of 2010 but now it doesn't have a date. Most if not all of her songs I'm pretty sure are already written so it should be sometime soon if I'm right.

Believe me, I'm going to be very upset too if I'm wrong.

[JamirC18]

@Inupuppieoxox Thanx

[Cralisss]

Awesome song, VC is such a great artist!!

[CascadaaXx]

Loving the addition of the violin, hopefully this stays <3

[nepherlander]

Vanessa is completely one of greatest real musicians on earth! I love the voice of the violin and piano in this song. Does this song come out from her new album? please someone tell me!

[lordcrull]

I'd like to see this on iTunes.

[Leroy734]

if any one gets new info on her album please share, i cant find much info anywhere :S and im rlly exited

[lordcrull]

@Leroy734 She gave a blog on myspace about 2 months ago that she is writing an album slowly but surely. But, that's the only information I know, have you tried the Vanessa Carlton forums?

[Leroy734]

@lordcrull o thanks, its rlly awsome to hear that! i tried joining one forum, but it took me about a month to get an answer on whether or not i could join. when i did get the email it turned out i was rejected for some reason. thanks for the info tho!

[SaliholmusMecnun]

shes very talented....i love her music...cant wait her new album

[CarltonLavigne]

IT'S WONDERFUL! I love that new song.. I love Vanessa ^^ :D

[amrsp247]

i love you! I have a celebrity crush on Vanessa Carlton.

[darkcloud2fan]

OMG! ive been playing piano for 9 years, but i really want to learn the violin after hearing this song!

[carlinj832000]

i have to say you listening to the violin it gives the song more character.

[lov3ani]

omg this is soo beautiful. wow i love her and her music so much. its helped with everything.

[XxSuddenlyPsychotic]

She is the best singer with just her and the piano nobody has ever heard of. I mean a lot of people havent heard of her since her first record be not nobody because the rest had poor sponsers

[choec]

I am a guy and I like her music. Nothing hotter than a girl who can play the piano and sing...

[nessaholic29]

vc is so amazing and talented

awesome song

[bellaboombella]

ive been waiting for something new from her and this is amazing she amazing i can never get tired or bored of her songs

[darkcloud2fan]

the last 40 seconds of this song are genius. beautiful sounding!

[darkcloud2fan]

oh i love this song! i hope its on her next album! her next album is coming out early 2010 and will be called Tall Tales for Spring. found it on wikipedia.

[Robeeh2]

Wow, great new song - don't expect anything less from our V x

[ScottfromBKLYN]

Could this song be about Stephan Jenkins? There's a track on Ursa Major (3EB's latest album) called Sharp Knife. and there's that line about vodka dulling sharp knives on this song. And the quip about age fits too.

[AttitudeAngel1]

fair weather friend:: someone who is there for you and dependable in the good times, not the bad

[carlinj832000]

this song goes out to my ex and his godzilla of a girlfriend.

[anaosiris09]

love this song still trying to figure out what it means.

[uhfdohnov]

omg I love this song it's so good c'mon everyone tell your friends, comment, everything we should make this a really popular song/video!!!

[innocencesgone]

Reminds Heroes&Thieve's style

[MiamiRedHawk2011]

In my opinion, this song is my favorite between this one and London. I can't wait for her next album!

[carlinj832000]

i have to say this song so vanessa carlton sounding.

[mastermusic1213]

i totally agree with you!

[Hj07x]

Shes absolutly amazing, My fave artist in the world :) Why doesnt she have more fans?

[FredericoTV]

because sadly if you wanna get famous you gotta take your clothes off on TV :(

[ClearlyDamnDecent]

@FredericoTV I can see what you mean, Alicia Keys is known to strip isn't she, Hayley Williams? Adele? Duffy? Katy B? Colbie Cailait? Taylor Swift? I personally don't know a lot of chart music but lets cut the bullshit, the reason Vanessa Carlton isn't famous has nothing to do with whether or not she takes her clothes off or even if she over sexualises her music. She isn't famous because she preferred to make music from her heart than do what her label told her. -

[MaktabaHalo]

@FredericoTV and the great thing is..she doesn't want the fame :~)

[history00maker]

i know, she deserves more fans. shes like the only artist i listen to, its so hard to find quality songs like hers with so much crap on itunes today.

[jkoreosrock]

I Agree it is hard to fine people like Vanessa but i think you might like Kate Havnevik she also has a wonderful voice and maybe OMG Definately if you are like in t he style of the piano and well Kanon Wakeshima her style is a little bit more like classical gothic but i hope you can hear this artist while you are waiting for Vanessa's new album :D

[mastermusic1213]

COMMENT PEOPLE! This song is one her bests!

[Biskmut]

Love this.

[whitehousesvc729]

owch!! I would REALLY hate to be the person in this song. But i like her inspiration for the song: i think she said it was from a book she read, about lazy minds ("magical thinking") And yeah, the quality is better than other versions i heard.

[maruzie808]

EXCELLENT!!..

perfectly amazing!!.. :D

[Hydroswimmer12]

Wow! Did you clear some background noise? It sounds recorded : )

[IloveSPIDERZ]

Wow! She's Really pretty at 1:26

When was that pic taken?

By the way, excellent job on this, this song is now one of my favorites from her.

[musicalwayshere4]

why no comments? i like this song!!
