Another Good Song
Give it a try. This is a great song, with excellent lyrics, from a talented young writer.


So many goodies!!
My favorite track is the piano/vocal version of "Paradise". This is a great EP!! It has a bunch of goodies inside. I'm guessing they released this because Vanessa never performed it live. Also, there are two live versions of "A Thousand Miles" on this cd. The first live version (Live in England) is the full-band version. So I think the live in Tokyo version is better, as it has only piano and vocals. "Swindler" isn't bad, but I can see why it wasn't included in the Be Not Nobody album--it's sort of odd, it wouldn't fit in with the rest of the songs on the record. But you gotta love the piano! And of course, I forgot about "Ordinary Day"!! On this cd you get the album version of OD, the piano/vocal version, and a HIGH QUALITY video for the song. So if you pop the cd in your comp, you get this cd-extra feature which allows you to view the video.

P. S. Don't buy this from amazon, it's suuuuuper expensive. Get to your nearest Tower and you can get it for $16. 99.

Hope this helped!.


Similar to "A Thousand Miles", only less catchy


However, one cannot say that her first single managed to achieve this: it was not good even for pop, being utterly tuneless, oddly emotionless and saved only in a very minor way by a few hooks. Vanessa Carlton has emerged as a pop star aiming to take some of the singer/songwriter intelligence and expression to the masses. "Ordinary Day" lacks even that small redeeming feature and one cannot recommend it by any means at all.

There is still less of the piano present in the featureless, heavily synthesised, wishy-washy melody of the song, and none of the feminine expressiveness that so many have overlooked whenever it occurs within the world of popular music.

Not recommended: look elsewhere for female artists with intense mystery and emotional power. .
