I saw her perform this last night at the Stevie Nicks concert! She is very powerful. I almost cried. Live, I was pounded with emotions! Love this!!!!!!!!
This is another example of how time has changed (not change in a bad or completely her style) her sound and how she has evolved as a musician. Vanessa will ever be one of the biggest and most talented artists we'll see. I just admire her more with every new song i hear from her albums...
Nostalgia is a powerful emotion triggered, among many others, by this song. Every time I hear it it brings memories of another time, when I felt like a completely different person. Funny how the manipulation of the English language along with the eathereal tone of this song can do that to a person.
Buddy Hydrogyn Vanessa's songs can really do that to you. Even if it's for the sake of listening to her songs since way back when, it brings that inner feeling.
It's even funnier when you don't relate to the English description, like you don't drink wine or get drunk, or you didn't have any relationship like the one in this song. But you still get the nostalgic emotion.
I woke up this morning with this song stuck in my head and then I quoted it tonight while skyping with the guy i like, because I feel like it captures his feelings about marriage. Vanessa, you are exquisite.
This is the most beautiful song to me. I really love this song but... I want to be a bride. However, I get what she is saying, which is to live life the way it is and not to do what other people expect you to do.
Is it that marriage is not looked at like it maybe once was? Or maybe she is saying she wants a true love to be the be all end all not just marriage? I don't really know, but I do feel like I want to marry my best friend and show her and everyone else that I am committed to her, that I love her so much that I am willing to be in the contract of marriage with her and to show all friends and family that she is the most important thing to me.
My friend told me she saw this as being an anthem. Wow, I couldn't agree with her more. The children's choir, the kick drum, and the clapping work accompany her vocals and piano so well. LOVELY. Instant classic.
I knew from the first time I heard this girl she was going to be something special. She paces herself and makes the time in between count for some really great songs. She has quality. This is what will keep her in the music mix for a long time to come. Vanesa is awesomely hauntingly hooking. Hooked on this one, hooked on them all. I Love this young lady's music.
its weird hearing this song now that she is happily married with a baby and, in fact, wore a wedding dress (idk if it was white or ivory lol), and now live in a pleasant and quaint house in Tennessee. lol
I felt the same when I stumbled on the news about her marriage & new baby earlier this year. :) There's a song in her yet about how we can radically change and surprise even ourselves...
@tracks wod Having a lovely house to call your own home, promising your undying love to one person and expressing that love by having a child together isn't a shame :) Marriage has some restrictions but they actually make you more free
We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... Simple and epic.
THIS NEEDS A MUSIC VIDEO THIS SONG COULD PUT HER BACK ON TOP ITS ONE OF HER BEST YET, THUMBS UP SO SHE OR WHOEVER MONITORS HER VEVO ACCOUNT CAN SEE THIS!!!
Marriage is the One thing I wanted in My Life. I guess if you want Somethings To Much, "They Never Happen". I Love Vanessa, her songs Speak to me and make me "Think".
Is that really what Nostalgia is? When a song brings memories from another time? That happens to me all the time, daily. That's why listen to the 80's, the Cure, New Order, Smiths songs do that to me too...
Lyrics: I like your company got a fresh philosophy Never knew such a gentleman You can take me on a cheap vacation I don’t wanna have expectations ’cause you Could be the end of me I don’t need a house on a hill Swing on a tree, a grandfather clock Porcelain for tea A garden, with rose and jasmine Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine No better way to pass the time Forever by your side But I don’t wanna be a bride Apologies to your mother I wanna be your girl And spend this life with you But I don’t wanna wear white You know it’s too late for that But can we keep the ever after? Could it be Don’t need no golden ring It’d be no match for the love it brings From London to Tennessee We could catch a train to another life On a whim, under the moonlight I promise you, will you promise me? Our last names on a wooden sign Arm in arm, where the river starts to wind Forever by your side But I don’t wanna be a bride Apologies to each other I wanna be your girl And spend this life with you But I don’t wanna wear white You know it’s too late for that But can we keep the ever after Oh could it be just you and me I, I, I we will live like kings Under lavender skies, skies We will live like kings Under lavender skies, skies Built a poem, we kept a rhyme Wrapped our love in golden twine We wrote, we wrote a legacy Just you and me Just you and me Just like kings under lavender Skies, skies We will
People miss many of the subtleties of this song. One, it directly speaks to presumptions made by the traditional wedding in the west where the bride is a virgin wearing white to symbolize innocence, everyone participating is Christian, and that you become as one with your spouse. Secondly, I believe she intends to say that we will not become as one because we need to be ourselves to remember who we fell in love with in the first place.
betkomed que bueno conseguir alguien que comenta y piensa al igual que yo de vanessa carlton, lastima no saco videode esta cancion yo pienso que esta cancion debio ser su primer single.
I really like the sound of this song. And honestly the lyrics kind of fit my life ahaha. But it kind of reminds me of She & Him... in a very good way! Zooey's voice is great as well. Vanessa is so talented.
Simple love without needing to be fancy = simple promise is the key to hold love together without needing anybody to know. Oh that romance of this song~!!!
i just saw her opening for matt nathanson on friday and i LOVE this song most of all the ones she performed. i love her style of performing, it's similar to how I see myself performing one day. She's just real and seems like a person who would be a good friend. She doesn't seem intimidating or arrogant at all
The meaning is simple: She feels like she failed herself and is destined to fail him as well. The message is clear. I will be with you when you too are capable of failing yourself and by proxy, me. He hopes to receive what she's not capable of giving and her only solution is to live in disorder and wreckless abandon 🥀🥀💔
and i am glad we both finally realized that we dont need to have a wedding to prove that we are commited. and we dont need a marriage certificate either but it does make life easier for technical reasons. But anyways, i love this song. I never had a song to relate to when it comes to marriage because most people write about wanting all the wedding stuff. this song is unusual and beautiful.
i love this song, me encanta esta cancion no entiendo porque vanessa carlton no lo han apoyado, es una gran artista deberia vender discos a monton, compren sus discos son muy buenos.
I don't know if people understand what a classy artist Vanessa is. I mean, only look at the cover of this. The ladscape, her clothe, the letters used... So classy. Greatest artist underrated EVER! Love Vanessa!
Love is more important than practical decisions. Need to feel comfortable with your partner and stay the same person: free, good (in deep sense) and respectful.
I saw her perform this last night at the Stevie Nicks concert! She is very powerful. I almost cried. Live, I was pounded with emotions! Love this!!!!!!!!
GREEN DAY..WAKE ME .. when..♥️♥️🇺🇲🇺🇲🌍

Really deep comment. At some level, I know exactly what you mean.
It's even funnier when you don't relate to the English description, like you don't drink wine or get drunk, or you didn't have any relationship like the one in this song. But you still get the nostalgic emotion.
Vanessa's voice is incredible on this album. I think it's my favorite
♥️♥️🦊🦊🦊 el principito 🌍🌍🌀🌀🇵🇷🇵🇷
I woke up this morning with this song stuck in my head and then I quoted it tonight while skyping with the guy i like, because I feel like it captures his feelings about marriage. Vanessa, you are exquisite.
I wake up with white houses in my head till this day it was released 15 years ago I am older than the song by a month what a legend
how could such a beautiful song viewed by few people?
c'mon! It's worth the listen! ;)
Ikr
That's the beauty of it
I listen to it today. And IT IS 2021. I buy her CD when IT was Released. IT IS Then years ago.❤️
This is the most beautiful song to me. I really love this song but... I want to be a bride. However, I get what she is saying, which is to live life the way it is and not to do what other people expect you to do.

I saw her perform this year in august at the MN state fair and she sang this as her last song. awesome!
So did I. She was good! Great opener for Stevie!
her voice is sooooooooooooooo beautiful.
I love Vanessa, her music is so much better than most other artists today. Her music has so much heart and soul.
My friend told me she saw this as being an anthem. Wow, I couldn't agree with her more. The children's choir, the kick drum, and the clapping work accompany her vocals and piano so well. LOVELY. Instant classic.
I knew from the first time I heard this girl she was going to be something special. She paces herself and makes the time in between count for some really great songs. She has quality.

The album is AWESOME... this song is INCREDIBLE!!!
Really beautiful performance with an angelic children's choir on Conan tonight. I got the shivers!
its weird hearing this song now that she is happily married with a baby and, in fact, wore a wedding dress (idk if it was white or ivory lol), and now live in a pleasant and quaint house in Tennessee. lol

+Chelsee Teleha think she lives in texas actually
+Poonicorn She lives in Nashville, TN now.
Oh. I didn't know. How sad.
@tracks wod Having a lovely house to call your own home, promising your undying love to one person and expressing that love by having a child together isn't a shame :) Marriage has some restrictions but they actually make you more free
This is such a beautiful song...the lyrics have so much meaning. It's just amazing ;w;
While Billie Eillish, Lorde and Taylor Swift stack up the Grammy's, the true musical genius is overlooked and unappreciated
Vanessa is a true artist ❤
Agree… Popularity Nowadays, True Musical Genius Were Neglected 😢
Grammy is not trusted anymore. Most for mainstreamed artists
Tiene razón 😢❤
Me hizo llorar tu comentario 😢 😭
We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies... We will live like kings under lavender skies...
Simple and epic.
Vanessa deserves a whole lot of recognition, money and respect from everyone who is a music fan.
Yes!
THIS NEEDS A MUSIC VIDEO THIS SONG COULD PUT HER BACK ON TOP ITS ONE OF HER BEST YET, THUMBS UP SO SHE OR WHOEVER MONITORS HER VEVO ACCOUNT CAN SEE THIS!!!
I have listened to this song literally like 20 times in the past two days i love this song so much !!!!!!!! 3
she absolutely changed a style of the singing!this suits her much better! I am glad that she figured it out :)
I get mix emotions listening to this song, but this is a favorite from the 'Rabbits...' album
Wow, I've always loved her and all her songs, but I think this has to be my favorite. LOVE it!!!!
Such an enchanting melody and and a refreshing voice.. I keep singing this song the moment i first heard it. what a perfect piece of art.
OMG this is amazing! i saw her perform it with only piano and guitar accompaniment, and it sounds totally different! love love love the choir!
I dont wanna be a groom. i went through this whole song, Love you V.
Marriage is the One thing I wanted in My Life. I guess if you want Somethings To Much, "They Never Happen". I Love Vanessa, her songs Speak to me and make me "Think".
this song needed a music video vanessa please
Is that really what Nostalgia is? When a song brings memories from another time? That happens to me all the time, daily. That's why listen to the 80's, the Cure, New Order, Smiths songs do that to me too...
Beautiful song. Glad to see there are so many fans! Come and tour in England!
Lyrics:
I like your company got a fresh philosophy
Never knew such a gentleman
You can take me on a cheap vacation
I don’t wanna have expectations ’cause you
Could be the end of me
I don’t need a house on a hill
Swing on a tree, a grandfather clock
Porcelain for tea
A garden, with rose and jasmine
Gonna get drunk on a bottle of wine
No better way to pass the time
Forever by your side
But I don’t wanna be a bride
Apologies to your mother
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don’t wanna wear white
You know it’s too late for that
But can we keep the ever after?
Could it be
Don’t need no golden ring
It’d be no match for the love it brings
From London to Tennessee
We could catch a train to another life
On a whim, under the moonlight
I promise you, will you promise me?
Our last names on a wooden sign
Arm in arm, where the river starts to wind
Forever by your side
But I don’t wanna be a bride
Apologies to each other
I wanna be your girl
And spend this life with you
But I don’t wanna wear white
You know it’s too late for that
But can we keep the ever after
Oh could it be just you and me
I, I, I we will live like kings
Under lavender skies, skies
We will live like kings
Under lavender skies, skies
Built a poem, we kept a rhyme
Wrapped our love in golden twine
We wrote, we wrote a legacy
Just you and me
Just you and me
Just like kings under lavender
Skies, skies
We will
i love this song
She's been my favourite musician for many years. So glad she finally released this album!
Ella merece un Grammy ❤❤, no no, el Grammy la necesita a ella, canta muy hermoso, transmite muchas cosas lindas
"We will live like kings under lavender skies."...reminds me of..."One day we will walk upon uplands unbounded."
@@ProfesoraNut i think the original lyrics of Ordinary Day.
I love your beautiful poetic honest lyrics that share your feelings! Such love and joy.
these are like the best lyrics i have ever heard in my life! Vanessa is a wonderful artist, i hope she keeps making amazing music!
This song is so... beautiful. "Please don't stop the music" - Vanessa's music :)
I for one, this is her best album
Every tracks are amazing!
My fav is "I dont wanna be a bride"
People miss many of the subtleties of this song. One, it directly speaks to presumptions made by the traditional wedding in the west where the bride is a virgin wearing white to symbolize innocence, everyone participating is Christian, and that you become as one with your spouse. Secondly, I believe she intends to say that we will not become as one because we need to be ourselves to remember who we fell in love with in the first place.
I’m obsessed with the song❤
i love your voice, you are a great artist, hugs from Colombia! (Y)
This was my ultimate favorite song 😍😍
Awesome sounds
Thank you V for writing this song, it means so much to me! I can relate to this perfect perfect song
this is beautiful!
betkomed que bueno conseguir alguien que comenta y piensa al igual que yo de vanessa carlton, lastima no saco videode esta cancion yo pienso que esta cancion debio ser su primer single.
The anthem for women who don't want to get married. Beautiful!
She's beautiful and she's got a beautiful voice beautiful talent and this song I love and a thousand miles
And this cover art is adorning. Very fresh, simple and elegant.
Tiktok please make this blow up!!!
Please
I really like the sound of this song. And honestly the lyrics kind of fit my life ahaha. But it kind of reminds me of She & Him... in a very good way! Zooey's voice is great as well. Vanessa is so talented.
Nice song
Can't stop listening to this song!
I absolutely LOVE this Entire Album!!! Can't get enough of "Rabbit on the Run"
V, it would be wonderful if you made music vids for these singles. Shmazing.
no me canso de escuchar esta cancion junto con hands on me son mis preferidas
only one word to describe this woman ....beautiful ...inside, out, and her talents.
It's 2022 i'm still here ^_^
Simple love without needing to be fancy = simple promise is the key to hold love together without needing anybody to know. Oh that romance of this song~!!!
First of all this deserves WAY more views. Second of all I've been listening to her since forever and this album is AHH-mazing :D
Great song!!! Vanessa is SOOOO talented.......
i just saw her opening for matt nathanson on friday and i LOVE this song most of all the ones she performed. i love her style of performing, it's similar to how I see myself performing one day. She's just real and seems like a person who would be a good friend. She doesn't seem intimidating or arrogant at all
Every one of your songs makes me want to get back in the studio to work on my own music. Really awesome work! 🌟💗
How can a song get so beautiful? Who the f*ck is cutting onions?
Vanessa.
Why doesnt this have more views!!!
this is one of my friends' favorite songs. i just listened to it for the 1st time. i like it!
Love these words and song Always
We Rest. We Rise. Reset.
The meaning is simple: She feels like she failed herself and is destined to fail him as well. The message is clear. I will be with you when you too are capable of failing yourself and by proxy, me. He hopes to receive what she's not capable of giving and her only solution is to live in disorder and wreckless abandon 🥀🥀💔
preeciosa la cancion
YESSS I'VE WAITED TWO YEARS FOR THISS
and i am glad we both finally realized that we dont need to have a wedding to prove that we are commited. and we dont need a marriage certificate either but it does make life easier for technical reasons. But anyways, i love this song. I never had a song to relate to when it comes to marriage because most people write about wanting all the wedding stuff. this song is unusual and beautiful.
Bella voz, bella melodía...
god! she is a great writer and singer
As soon as I played this I burst into tears. THINKING of someone xxx
Sorry Lisa Hunt.I hope you are with him? Xx
Just binging these masterpieces, Thank you Vanessa. For your amazing oeuvre d'art
I saw her before a Stevie Nicks concert the other night. She was really awesome.
i love this song, me encanta esta cancion no entiendo porque vanessa carlton no lo han apoyado, es una gran artista deberia vender discos a monton, compren sus discos son muy buenos.
Love this song so much... I forget about this song sometimes but god brings me back... Love this song
Très belle mélodie et paroles intéressantes, romantiques.
i have been in love with what she creates with her voice for years
I can't wait to listen to the entire album!
The album is just magical and so intimate... I LOVE the song "The Marching Line"!
I don't know if people understand what a classy artist Vanessa is. I mean, only look at the cover of this. The ladscape, her clothe, the letters used... So classy. Greatest artist underrated EVER!
Love Vanessa!
Going to lisen to it 10.000,000 times in my life time
Love is more important than practical decisions. Need to feel comfortable with your partner and stay the same person: free, good (in deep sense) and respectful.
I love this song so much. I relate to it so hard. I dont want marriage or kids! I just want to live with my soulmate...wherever he/she is! ❤
I WAS THE FIRST TO VIEW
This is a very beautiful and enlightened song. I'm sorry it took me so long to discover it.
Just heard this live at Notre Dame! Loved it!
I love the pic and the font, so artsy.
I have loved EVERY song she has EVER released and I will keep loving her music until I die.
THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS.
Great song, great lyrics, great artist, great person...
Vanessa, you keep on getting better! Happy 31st Birthday!
I go through phases of music I like, but I always come back to Vanessa. She's lovely
This is the first song of hers I've heard since her first album that I liked. It's so haunting and real, compelling.
Impossible to dislike this music , and it deserve more view !
I love her!!!
