World Cafe Live, Philadelphia, 12/09/2015
See the complete review: billsmusicblog....
Vanessa Carlton performed singing and playing piano with only one backing musician, Skye Steele, who played violin and a few other instruments, but mostly violin. Steele has been Carlton's collaborator for the past seven years; his website describes him as a songwriter, improvising violinist, and composer. The combination of piano, violin, and Carlton's voice was both evocative and most pleasing. The set began with three older songs, then she played a seven song set from Liberman, concluding with three more older songs. She opened with a most intriguing combination of Pink Floyd's "Learning to Fly" and her own "Carousel" from her Rabbits on the Run album. She then followed with "Tall Tales for Spring" from that same album. Next up was "White Houses" from Harmonium. After the Liberman set, she treated the crowd to a fine performance of "A Thousand Miles". Then came "Hear the Bells" from Rabbits on the Run. She closed the show with "Home" from Heroes and Thieves.
Carlton had a nice rapport with the audience telling lots of stories about her life and career and giving plenty of insights into the songs. She talked quite a bit about her eleven month old daughter, her husband, and their dog, and about sometimes bringing them on tour. The set was very much like the old MTV Unplugged show. Anybody remember MTV Unplugged? Overall, it was a very personal and satisfying set from this one time pop star.

Her voice has gotten so much different since this song. It gives it more of a haunting sound, love it.
God, she's such a woman now. No longer that early 20's person that we all once were...
I met Vanessa in 2005. She was very open that this song was about her virginity, as if it wasn't obvious. She was very down to earth, and we did a couple shots and joked. Looking back, this song takes me back to those years, when I was 24 or so. Just graduated college, still bartending at a restaurant. I think this song is more about youthful nostalgia than it is...sex. It just takes you back. At least it does for me. The girl I loved then. My early adulthood. The excitement of everything and the strength of a thousand lions. And I did well... But looking back makes me want to always look back. It was such a great era. Just as good as college, high school, or childhood. I try now not to ever take it for granted. Maybe my life now is also great. Just gotta get those abs back! Lol.
I always thought the song was about her virginity. However, she says in this video that she's not the person who wrote that part of the song, insinuating that it's not her experience. Makes me a bit confused.
Well, I guess I See You Everywhere, But Let's Be Serious, Why Are Ya Scamming?
@@kiryukazuma1269 Excuse me?
@@frozenaorta Sorry, I Apologize If It Makes You Angry, But I Was Asking Why Are Ya Writing The Same All Over The Lives Of Her?
@@kiryukazuma1269 I'm not angry. Just confused. What am I writing all over, and where are you seeing me everywhere?
The girls she is describing who loved this song because they saw themselves, was definitely me. When I hear this song, I remember my youth and very specifically four other girls who I was best friends with. I loved hearing an older Vanessa sing this particularly, it's so special.
Vanessa cares about her influence on the world, we need more of that.
I like both the original and this new version. Her voice may have changed but it still has a charm to it.
She has a good heart ❤️ that's the best thing about Vanessa Carlton, and always will be.
Love this rendition
Wow. This is awesome.
Beautiful.
YES. Lover her and this. Thank you.
Es increíble lo que puede hacer una sola persona para ganarse como se debe el cariño de las personas

This is better than the released version.
she knows how to make people laugh.
her brother sounds high strung
I like the songer. Wait
3:43
She loves to bully her becuase of this song, I watched another video where she sang this live and she said, "Poor Edmund" 😭
I'd love to find the chords to the intro she played of the song. Can someone help!?
She’s very active on Instagram, so she might respond to you directly
@@JT-ng2tk thanks for the tip man! I’ll reach out!
Sounds like Tom Petty's Learning to Fly
damn. her voice went from ok to screechy lol
She sounds better here, her tone suits the story of the song
