We were plucking the pleasant flowers, the beautiful crocus, the iris, the hyacinth, and the narcissus, which, like the crocus, the wide earth produced.
With joy I was plucking them, when the earth yawned beneath, and out leaped the strong King, the Many-Receiver, and went bearing me, deeply sorrowing, under the earth in his golden chariot, and I cried aloud.
I really like this song. It's so beautiful and she's so write about how soothing the melancholy music can be. And it's not even really a sad song, just a truthful one.
And one of my favorite things about this particular video is watching the violin guy move back and forth. He reminds me of those little elves you see dancing around playing the fiddle :) but maybe that's just me :P
This is a true song, this is a real art. Is not intended to sell, is not intended to be a #1 hit, is a song to hear, to feel... Something that is missing today
well because, you know just think of her as kind of a female versian of bob dylan in a way, i dont know what other songs he does , but the only one i know he does is like a rolling stone that is the only song that i know he does, or any other musician you only reconize them from one song they do, so yeah, but that's my in take, us young people will never understand 60 or 70's music i guess yeah. words of nessa peace!
I just don't know why she can't seem to hit it big again. She hit it big with 'A Thousand Miles' but has slowly gone downhill in popularity because of all those talentless losers like Miley Cyrus taking up the lime light. And even Madonna (who refuses to let go of her youth) keeping on dancing around in a pink leotard when she's over 50. Nessa takes the time to write all of the songs for her albums and she doesn't squat. What is wrong with the music industry?
Yeah, seriously, you're right. Everyone thinks that she only had 15 minutes of fame with that song, wen she absolutely deserved more. I mean, really, Im sure I could get on stage and sing some shallow song better than most of those pple, and i SUCK!! And why do those pple havve so many fans anyway? the media practically makes them seem like terrible pple, like how Miley Cyrus is going out w/a 21 year old underwear model. Do you hear that crap about VC? no, even wen she had her "15 minutes"
and you know why you dont hear that sort crap about nessa... cos she's her self and she stays that way,and for that I love her. I also recall her talking about some music corp that liked her but she had to show more then she wanted, and she simple said no to them and moved along! Anyway I sorry to mind my self in this hihi but I'm a Nessaholic so tjah (A)can't blame me for that :P Vanessa might not get what she deserves from alot of people but at least there still people out there that do (U+US)

I love this song, but I can just imagine a more fitting voice to sing this. Imagine if a bit more mature sounding voice who was known for their voice was singing this. It'd be so awesome. Sometimes her voice downplays the depth of the music to me because it sounds so young and raw... it works on some songs though
but V wrote the song. if i wrote a song and someone said to me i cant sing it well i would find that horrible. i think V's voice is perfect for this song. i know your not trying to be rude and neither am i, im pretty sure we both like V. i dont like her actually. i love her.
Yes i agree. And also, it's her song, so is it possible for her to be singing it "incorrectly" anyway? I also think Vanessa's voice is perfect for all her songs. She's amazing, and super talented.
well thats might be a reason that its not on H&T it doesnt really fit in well in that row of songs she put on it. and well your one of the first people ive heard that didnt liked the violing. imo it gave the song something special. ( personaly i think he wsa to close to the mic cos his sound is alot harder then that of the piano)
Why are her unreleased songs better than most the songs on her albums? Amazing music basically thrown away. Its as if whoever is in charge of the albums is purposely masking her true potential. This vid came out a year ago and i'm just hearing it now. That kinda pisses me off. Only 2,000 ppl heard this song so far, as opposed to the millions i know who would enjoy it, and other unrealeased ones.
You know what pisses me off about vanessa ( well not so much about her) but the fact that alot of people dont know the talent shes got.
when people ask me, what kind of music you like i say im a nessaholic, they dont know what that is so I explain it. and then the part that pisses me off... Vannessa who? they say... and then you reply a 1000miles? ohhh her ya right....but then again, I gues its kinda nice to have vanessa for us self. beside its not really vanessa like to be like britney/.etc.
I had that once, but then I forcefully made the person listen to her songs such as rinse, paradise, and wanted and he reconciled, he actually said: "wow, I need to check her out more, she's incredible!"
ps. i have to agree with you alot of her unreleased songs are so much well i cant say better cos i truely love all her songs. but some of her unreleasd songs just blow me away. - like all i ask.
if you ask me she should release all the songs she makes, icl this one and menny others of her. I have ot agree with lolafisk85 this song would not really fit in on h&t. its a bit to sad/dark for h&t ;)
ya she is, also is this song. when im alone i like to put a random song of her on ( which depens on what mood I'm in) and then just put it loud and enjoy it... she always gives me goosebumps at those moments
Yeah, I wrote that over a month ago, when I didn't really like it. Now I really like it. 'My Best' is now the weakest in my opinion. =D Although 'All Is Well' is still better than 'Spring Street' imo.
Maybe she should have put in 14 songs, and include Best Behavior, All is Well, and the one that Irv Gotti was forcing at her to complete in Gotti's Way.
i dunno, its different to wat she usually does, so thats why i dont like it alot. But dont get me wrong, i only listen to vanessa carlton and she is only ever on my mind, and i live for her. :D
u think so? have u heard to devil dance?? or any of the songs on Rinse? All i ask? it sounds like a lot of the stuff on it...go check those out...they r a good listen =]
i dunno, its different to wat she usually does, so thats why i dont like it alot. But dont get me wrong, i only listen to vanessa carlton and she is only ever on my mind, and i live for her. :D
yeah vanessa admits it's a mistake not adding this to her new album...i just hope she could make a 4th album..lol or an unreleased songs..^_^ all is well = my fav!
