Vanessa Carlton "Rabbits on the Run"

Things I have learned from her past records were that even if she Be Not Nobody, it wouldn't take a thousand miles to find some surprising, and/or spunky numbers unlike her biggest hit on her debut. We also learned that the sophomore slump was no match for Carlton's inborn Harmonium. Finally, that even out of Heroes and Thieves, the latter are not the only people that steal; it is just that heroes may unintentionally steal your admiration, love, or something else.  Please don't take this to offense, but "I Don't Wanna be a Bride," but I may play one on T.V. It is not as if there is no commitment, because she enjoys the company, but prefers to keep her own last name and independence?  I think the majority of us have been to "London" for at least the first verse, and then at some point most of us realize "that heavenly creatures never come," or maybe they are not exactly what we expect. Is that a song revealing her opinion on predestination over making one's own luck? wait for it...It's possible, but it is also a song that sounds like one we can expect from her. I think we all have at least one '"Fairweather Friend," but they don't always reveal themselves until you need them most; the song itself sounds a little more upbeat despite the fact that her friend found  someone else. I did like how Carlton's vocals were presented in the next song as she sung a tale that was haunted by these harmonies from graveyard folklore declaring that every grave was a bell and a string attached to the finger (if I remember correctly) and if they were still alive you would "Hear the Bells."  I feel like writing a letter to someone, but I cannot figure out how to finish it; here it goes. "Dear California" it feels that your beautiful rays of sunshine had brung Vanessa to that same state of mind and wrote a lighter number. She seems to like you alot, but please don't disappoint her like a certain fair weather friend, because even if you rain she will probably still love you. What kind of heroes are featured in "Tall Tales For Spring?" Well, there is energetic percussion , vaudevillian piano/strings, and a guitar riff that can be compared to Paul Bunyan's big blue bull (you hardly ever see it; especially like that). If you wanna be ok, you can just cover it, but if you wanna "Get Good" you can re-interpolate the sound that takes you to Africa in dreamier, more laidback affair. If you join "The Marching Line" love will still feel like "a bullet in the chest," but if you march to your own beat you can prepare yourself for the healing process, and when finished you may be ready to join someone else in sync and create a driving, but less dramatic drumline. It seems as if everything that needed to be said was done so,and that "In the End" Vanessa Carlton is either singing underwater, or we are drifting to sleep as the piano sends its listener away on a sailboat of clouds. I Don't Wanna Be A Bride, Fairweather Friend, Hear The Bells,Tall Tales For Spring, Get Good, and In The End.
