one of vanessa's very best songs among so many. this song is so rich and has depth that few artists can achieve. the piano is exceptional, the lyrics are poetic and haunting. thank you vanessa for such a unique song
omg i love this song so much. even though her 2nd album wasnt the best to most people, its my favorite just because most of it is just straight up piano like this.
this one is a true masterpiece. undoutbful proof of her amazing writing skills. the lyrics are a bit strange, but they certainly fit the melody. great song, great performer.
I finally understand her stab at survival of the fittest. This song is NOT a stab at actual evolution. She mentions Hawkings in her new song Tall Tales For spring, she might even be an athiest. This song is more about social darwinism, becuase the unicorns are the artists and the vampires are the big labels. Social darwinism says the poor stay poor rich stay rich and so it applies to the record label concept. Like the unicorns can survive.
You know, I always liked the sound of this song, but never really understood it until now. On a figurative level, I think it's something anyone can relate to. White Houses is still my favorite, though, i think, for the same reason ^_^
This song remaind me Edward Cullen so much... Ok non so come ho scritto ricordo, ma porca miseria! Prima la canzone "Twilight" e ora quetsa.... io credo che non arriverò all'uscita di breaking down. Probabilmente morirò prima... Un beso from Italy a tutte le twilighters!!!
Love Vanessa Carlton~ Hah, the way she talks reminds me of someone in my class. The only other person that I can think of that can say "I find vampires to be quite sexy" with a straight face. I can't even type it with a straight face.
y isnt vanessa c. as famous as vanessa anne hudgens, oviously vanessa c. has WAY more talent than any1 i have ever heard while every one else is cheezy. buy her album, help her!

It was a lot more acceptable to like vampires before Twilight exploited the idea. VC made this song long before twilight was produced, so let's not reduce her song to the product of a "pre-teen's obsession with vamps".
And the narcissus, which was grown as a lure for the flower-faced girl by Gaia [Earth]. All according to the plans of Zeus. She [Gaia] was doing a favor for the one who receives many guests [Hadês]. It [the narcissus] was a wondrous thing in its splendor. To look at it gives a sense of holy awe to the immortal gods as well as mortal humans. It has a hundred heads growing from the root up. Its sweet fragrance spread over the wide skies up above.
yeah, before the whole twilight thing where vamps were inexplicably pussified, my older brother was into vampires (and scremo.......need i say anymore?). now whenever he hears the word vampire, he grimaces. steph meyer did not have to ruin the name of vamp for everyone who's not a thirteen yr old girl. vamps are meant to be in horror stories, not frikkin romance novels. oh yeah, and they don't sparkle. they burn.
Oh My God... She is beautiful... Amazing... Talented... Seriously, she needs to write more songs like this... Although... Darwin's theory is a sham? o.O;
The one with the delicate ankles, whom Hadês[1] seized. She was given away by Zeus, the loud-thunderer, the one who sees far and wide. Demeter did not take part in this, she of the golden double-axe, she who glories in the harvest. 5 She [Persephone] was having a good time, along with the daughters of Okeanos, who wear their girdles slung low. She was picking flowers: roses, crocus, and beautiful violets. Up and down the soft meadow. Iris blossoms too she picked, and hyacinth.
the main hole being that darwin stated that more species kept evolving and popping up over time..like more types of life would start to come up. well, in the fossil records there is this layer called the "cambrian layer", you can look it up. well within only a couple years ALL life forms that exist today were there. not a couple every couple years. ALL the lifeforms at once..thats not sounding like evolution to me. i respect the theory, but i only respect it for what it is..a THEORY. right on.
she is truly talented. I'm sorry but she is better than Michelle Branch and do you think its possible for Vanessa Carlton and Alicia keys to do something together? I mean I know they seem like they're on two side of a spectrum but... it could happen right?! Maybe?

I would pay a lot of money to watch this live 2021

Probably my favourite VC song. And that's saying something. All her songs are amazing. All of them.
She is beyond talented. She is my favorite artist by far. No one is or ever will be like Vanessa Carlton. She is so poetic.
Beautiful song & lyrics. One of my faves from Vanessa.
Love it.
Love this album. Harmonium. At her best.
Her shirt is so pretty.
my favourite one of her songs, so wonderful
I love the music to this song. I heard the music before anything else. Then I listened to the lyrics, her music always grabs me first.
omg i love this song so much. even though her 2nd album wasnt the best to most people, its my favorite just because most of it is just straight up piano like this.
I don't believe in vampires or unicorns or anything but I really love the way this song sounds. The piano and her voice....so much talent!
Thank you Darwin, Vanessa is the top of the evolution and her song too
She said that she thinks it's a sham.
Yes please, lets not talk about that book. Vampires have been along for quite a bit longer then that. So has this wonderful song.
this one is a true masterpiece. undoutbful proof of her amazing writing skills. the lyrics are a bit strange, but they certainly fit the melody. great song, great performer.
amazing song...
this is one of my fave vanessa videos!!
This song is great
What a thought.
Two good pianists together.
They should have an duet album with each filled with vocal and piano duets.
[:
My favorite song of Vanessa's beyond 2024 this is timeless
This is one her best songs and it's pretty good live.I also agree with her on the vampire thing.
I absolutely love this song, this is a great copy of it
Wonderful song!
my fav vanessa carlton song! :]
I completely agree with you my firned, she floats is one of my favorite songs, along with this one.
I finally understand her stab at survival of the fittest. This song is NOT a stab at actual evolution. She mentions Hawkings in her new song Tall Tales For spring, she might even be an athiest.

This is it
She said a lot by not saying much.
Even while using the Darwinism cover, she says she thinks it's a sham.
love it!! thanks for posting this =]
ahh I loooveeee this song!!
God those hands! Such long and graceful fingers.
I think this i one of her better songs.
This, hands on me and Papa are her best ones in my opinion, :)
Vampires are sexy!!! and i love this song, because there isn't any other one that's like it. vanessa is a genius.
I just noticed how instrumental this song is, sort of like Papa.
o-o
I always just caught in the lyrics.
I love vampires and this song
awesome song =)
Her songs are pure poetry. I wonder where she got the idea of Vampires and Unicorns
I think it was how the record label mistreated her and her music and so she used unicorns and vampires as names for them I could be wrong though
where can i get those bracelets?
Haha, so true. Im very glad Vanessa exists. What would I listen to in the morning with out her music?

White Houses is still my favorite, though, i think, for the same reason ^_^
oh yaaaaaaah!!!
her lyrics are always so powerful even though i dont always exactly know what they mean...

could someone please upload the aol sessions version of this song. it's so amazing and it would make my life!!!!!!!
Love Vanessa Carlton~ Hah, the way she talks reminds me of someone in my class. The only other person that I can think of that can say "I find vampires to be quite sexy" with a straight face. I can't even type it with a straight face.
I meant it's a great upload
please dont compare her to twilight, she too good for that crap.
Amen.
I think that all the time!! Every cd vanessa C. has is AMAZING!! I dont get it.
y isnt vanessa c. as famous as vanessa anne hudgens, oviously vanessa c. has WAY more talent than any1 i have ever heard while every one else is cheezy. buy her album, help her!
lol yea me2. i think that her song twilight should be either like the theme song (or this song) or maybe Bella's lullaby.
Beautiful Son
@TheMovingPiano14 That is soooo true
i'm the vampireeeee...

Love how the original comment has too many negative votes
She must be team Edward then

Darwin a sham? but vampires and unicorns their ok yeah that makes a lot of sense
Darwinism is a sham...the true meaning of "vampires and unicorns" flew over your head.
the main hole being that darwin stated that more species kept evolving and popping up over time..like more types of life would start to come up. well, in the fossil records there is this layer called the "cambrian layer", you can look it up. well within only a couple years ALL life forms that exist today were there. not a couple every couple years. ALL the lifeforms at once..thats not sounding like evolution to me. i respect the theory, but i only respect it for what it is..a THEORY. right on.
GOD....
she's sucha good song writer,
i tried to write songs but they're crap.
she is truly talented. I'm sorry but she is better than Michelle Branch and do you think its possible for Vanessa Carlton and Alicia keys to do something together? I mean I know they seem like they're on two side of a spectrum but... it could happen right?! Maybe?
@alwayslooking4space they aren't proved, dude.
lol they dont eath fish thats for sure ;)
is she high? lol
>.> sigh theorys tjah... agh well she is great and not one of those barbie
hahaha I want to hear more about how Darwin is a sham!
