Remember how I posted earlier that my sister was going to attend that meet and greet with Stevie Nicks at that event, The Sunset Sessions? Well, she was called into work and wasn't able to make it down to San Diego. Ugh, bummer right?! It all just seemed too good to be true.
Now for the good news. At the event Stevie sang with singer/songwriter Vanessa Carlton. They sang a song entitled, Carousel, which will be on Vanessa's upcoming album, Rabbits on the Run. I heard the song and absolutely fell in love.
Do you have a twinkle of a tear in your eye? It's alright if you do! It's good when music can touch you on an emotional level. Personally, thats what I think makes good music. If you can sit down and listen to a song and actually feel something, then you know its good.
Nicks is right when she says that Vanessa is one of the great ones. We don't hear a lot of her music on the radio these days and its a real shame. Here we have a girl who actually writes her own music and the lyrics come out as nothing short of poetry. They are beautiful lyrics that are supported by substance and meaning. The truth in this song is the catalyst for that tear in your eye!
"And time won't wait, so don't be late...
White rabbits on the run."
