Carlton wrote the song when she was 17. It is the only song that Vanessa has ever written in only one sitting. When Carlton performs the song live, she uses some of the original lyrics that she wrote for the song rather than the ones recorded for the album version. On the album, the lyrics at the end of the chorus are "Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand?" and in the live version Vanessa sings "If we walk now, we will divide and conquer this land". from wikipedia
It is really sad. I've loved Vanessa since day. This music industry right now doesn't care about talent, it's all about money. Her music isn't mainstream enough for them, so it doesn't get good publicity. Which sucks. This is real music. I wish more people could appreicate talent like this.
WOW even live she sounds amazing!!!! I've noticed some people sound completely different when singing live, but she is just all around amazing... i love her
Hey! I totally agree with you! it's sickening when all the media exposure is focused on so-called musicians who have no or very limited freakin talent!! Talents like Vanessa Carlton, Marie Digby and Chelsea Lee aren't getting the exposure they should and that makes me sick!
Vanessa is actually meant for stardom. She has great videos and I'm not just saying that. It's true I look at Lady Gaga and I realize how could I have thought that their music was so fun when Vanessa sings so well.
Too bad that the things that are really good aren't valuated as they would be. Vanessa is incredible, and her voice is lovely. Not to mention that she is very beautiful...
Excuse me: Although I agree with you on the rest, there's an exception there: Lady Gaga can sing amazingly live, play more than one instrument even while performing live, and her songs do have deep, beautiful lyrics. The same reason you treat Gaga that way is the reason people treat Vanessa the way they treat her: they only had access to a ridiculous side of hers. Many people don't even know Vanessa released an album after Be Not Nobody. Regards, a Vanessa and Gaga fan.
She changed the lyrics cuz on her unreleased album Rinse, she first recorded the song with those lyrics. Later, she recorded Be Not Nobody and out this song on it but she changed up the lyrics a bit. Actually, idk y she chaanged it here maybe cuz she didnt want all that hard work from recording the song to get thrown away, possible
It's actually the video not her hehe!! Look at the conversation when the interview begins!! She actually sings pretty well so the comment is just due to a lack of observation!!!
@xCandyLvr725 Unfortunately your point is weakened by the inclusion of Gaga in your argument, who is actually pretty talented regardless of how ridiculous she is as well. I don't even like her that much, but credit where credit is due.
My opinions null and void before i even state it but irving lorenzo had a point when it came to the unit beef. Its easy to act like the biggest badass on planet earth when the governments protecting and endorsing your every move.
@LeftyAcoustic At the risk sounding bad. Lady Gaga can actually sing (live,acoustically, acapella), she has talent and to disregard that talent is disrespectful for her craft and time she puts in on her music. Now, I do agree that Vanessa Carlton has a more interesting tone and style of her music, and overall is a better artist. but I do disagree with the notion that Lady Gaga is talentless.
@xCandyLvr725 I feel sorry for this generation who has to put up with the top of the charts now. I hear ya. I really can't believe shit like Lady Gaga is what people consider good music these days. Today's generation is plagued by bad music.
@dangerousmuse1 I can't believe you even bothered to say that (no offense). If anyone EVER thought that Lady Bullshit has any talent, let alone more than Vanessa Carlton, a person of incredible talent, they must literally have brain damage.

Her piano playing is so great, especially since she sings at the same time. It takes a lot of practice 👏💖
It is really sad. I've loved Vanessa since day.

Her voice is really pretty :)

She really does sound amazing live, just a bit plain without the other instruments, but still really beautiful :)
she`s beautiful...perfect ...
Vanessa has such a pleasingly youthful quality to her singing voice, it contrasts with the maturity of her lyrics.
Vanessa reminds me of the new singer /songwriter Ana Free...they share similar talents..refreshing!
So lovely girl with good sound and beautiful lyrics ❤️
i love vanessa...........hiks more than words
listen to this and the recorded 'ordinary day' vanessa's voice's definitely changed a lot.
@TwilightFountain The one she is singing in this video was the original, but for her CD she switched the lyrics.
Hey! I totally agree with you!

Where can i find this version? I love it
OMG.....i lope vanessa
Vanessa is actually meant for stardom. She has great videos and I'm not just saying that. It's true I look at Lady Gaga and I realize how could I have thought that their music was so fun when Vanessa sings so well.

"do you feel the dreams i write in the palm of your hand,"
So true!

OMG! Boy have her vocals improved!!
@lilyoshidude mannn I couldn't have said it better myself. This music just takes my heart. I really hope t

Too bad that the things that are really good aren't valuated as they would be. Vanessa is incredible, and her voice is lovely. Not to mention that she is very beautiful...

I actually prefer the new version than the old one, But i love them both :D

actually no, in her original version of this song (Demo Tape) those are the lyrics...
What was the song she sang before? what the reporter loved ?
same
She changed the lyrics cuz on her unreleased album Rinse, she first recorded the song with those lyrics. Later, she recorded Be Not Nobody and out this song on it but she changed up the lyrics a bit. Actually, idk y she chaanged it here maybe cuz she didnt want all that hard work from recording the song to get thrown away, possible
she's releasing a new album i think this june or something
she moved there when i was born i was born in 94
@xCandyLvr725 excuse i'm totally agree about what you just said, but don't include Lady Gaga, she actually can sing and play an instrument as well c:
It's actually the video not her hehe!!
Look at the conversation when the interview begins!!
She actually sings pretty well so the comment is just due to a lack of observation!!!
is she still making new songs?
funny, because i find them VERY different.
they're both extraordinary though.
@xCandyLvr725

Ummm this is not Heroes and Thieves lol
Wow she resembles so much like michelle branch
that's how she originally wrote the song.
or morning sting
what lisp?
yea the music is a little ahead of the video
Vanessa's changed, she doesn't seem as open as she used to be, she seems more,I dno, closed in? I dno lol but god, I LUV HER! lol
@GSNSmashFan3 Well... We see where that got her....
lops of lope to her!
lol
@xCandyLvr725 Have you ever heard Lady Gaga live??? Her radio stuff is junk, but she shits talent...
this has slightly different lyrics than in the official music video
lope?
Great song. Shame half of it is missing :(
Are you bragging? 'i am ONLY 13..' yeeeaaah...

well, she's still vanessa carlton...
nice song but the video looks like a mexican serial where the voice comes first and then you see their lips
I'm only this revolted because I am ridicularized when I talk about Vanessa.
Maybe for the same reason people dislike Gaga.
Lady Gaga is talentless? Go listen to her live. Shes definitely not talentless
shes soooo good live except for her lisp.
it's kinda out of sinc.... yeah you probly all know that though..
ooooooommm, the lips are off :^S
