I saw a comment on here that said “I miss the 90’s”. The irony is that this is from 2002. And hence proves my theory that the 90’s didn’t end until 2007.

Every one of Vanessa's songs give me a feeling almost like heartbreak. Like a window looking at a life that can't ever be had again. I guess you could call it bittersweet nostalgia. But no other artist gives me this feeling as intensely as she does.

Therefore, let me ask a little: which ones your actions and thoughts are? - evil or good? 1776 - 2022 = 246 1776 - 2076 = 300 We have lived under the freemasons tryanny, oh perdon, i mean, under their rulership close to 300 years. Sadly much anough to forget all, that was before „they” took everything under their control and keep it that way, that long. 246 years of lifetimes, under the „power” of evil. And we dream of a good lives to live. How come we can do it under the rulership of the wicked? !go and find a job! = !go and find a enslavement!. And we, humans, find it a problem, that we were slaves generations back. The reasons it ain´t a problem now? For we, humans, being slaves, haven`t changed. WE ARE ALL STILL SLAVES! This haven´t changed. Now, can you, a reader of my writtings can you explain: why are we still slaves?, when the matter of fact, it is already proven, that EVERLASTING IS FREE: - WATER, - FOOD, - ELECTRICITY, - LAND. Who find it`s unbenefits them, if we are truly FREED? - freemasons.

Who and how many amongst us "wake up" from their slumber and see and hear and realize: WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

[@cebodludlu4086]

You're absolutely right. Every time i listen to her songs and some of the other music in the early 2000's it just gives me a sense of peace and simpleness that can never be had. It somewhat equates to feeling of contentment that grounds you. And I absolutely love it.

[@Seyonra]

Just a day Just an ordinary day Just trying to get by Just a boy Just an ordinary boy But he was looking to the sky And as he asked if I would come along I started to realize That everyday he finds Just what he's looking for Like a shooting star he shines He said take my hand Live while you can Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words Although they did not feel For I felt what I had not felt before And you'd swear those words could heal And as I looked up into those eyes His vision borrows mine And I know he's no stranger For I feel I've held him for all of time And he said take my hand Live while you can Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand In the palm of your hand Please come with me See what I see Touch the stars for time will not flee Time will not flee Can you see? Just a dream, just an ordinary dream As I wake in bed And the boy, that ordinary boy Or was it all in my head? Did he ask if I would come along It all seemed so real But as I looked to the door I saw that boy standing there with a deal And he said take my hand Live while you can Don't you see all your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand In the palm of your hand In the palm of your hand Just a day, just an ordinary day Just trying to get by Just a boy Just an ordinary boy But he was looking to the sky

[@westmezzanine4321]

Her vocal range completely blows my mind, especially when she can bring that tone of voice like at 3:14. I can hit that sort of deep, all encompassing note, but it sounds bad and it’s so difficult for it to sound normal, and she can not only make it sound good, but work it so well into the song. She’s such a talented songwriter, singer, and pianist

[@sethbrolsma516]

Yeah this is a deceptively complex vocal. I don't know why Olivia Rodrigo popped into my head but it's kind of like her vocal on "Driver's License". Like, vocally she's doing more than it may seem.

[@josephburney2283]

Rebecca Sarrazin no friends? Gee I’m so sorry…. What you say holds truth, but better times are ahead I do believe! I would say that the most beautifully moving and unifying time to live in America was after WWII, the 70s and the 90s up to the early 2000s for many reasons… but in my opinion the most enchanting time to live is when Christ came and yet he’s coming back! On earth we see beauty through brokenness. It’s because of hard times that we realize we need something more and better and bigger than ourselves. Anyways I don’t wanna patronize or sound too much like a geek so imma dip out. Believe what you will and to each there own… but please keep an open mind and a steady heart and also do not lose hope! 🤘🏾🤠

[@billny33]

To this day I still cannot listen to this song or watch this video without breaking down in tears. I was in college at a party school when it came out. I wanted nothing more than to finally find a girl who would love me or even like me for the first time. I fell for 2 different women freshman year who both only wanted to be friends. I pursued many other women at all different parties and places and always felt them kind of pulling away or cringing whenever I flirted. Whenever I didn't flirt, they were always too happy to treat me politely and platonically. The guys who were getting dates and getting laid continually told me I was being too nice, too respectful and not enough of an asshole and that I cared too much. But I realize now that the reason this song affects me so much is that the video was like a microcosm of my whole college experience. I was on that hillside alone with those couples all laying together for 4 years while Vanessa spun this beautiful yarn of a romantic tale celebrating life and love in this full brilliant richness and I had to just take it with no escape while no one would lay with me. I felt like the only one on the hill going through this exact issue. Since college I've moved on, I've experienced love in brief, fractured, fleeting forms but at least I broke the spell so to speak. I am grateful for that. But this song takes me to an incredibly heartbroken place from my past in spite of how beautiful and life affirming an experience it is to look at. It sort of permanently immortalizes that pain and tucks it away in a file cabinet. If I pull it out now and listen again, I find that all that pain from 2001-05 is still remarkably well-preserved. For those who are going to come at me with incel comments, I never wished harm upon anyone who ever rejected me. I hope that those who do have that issue find help before they seriously harm anyone else or themselves. I wish I could personally talk them all out of such things myself because I feel like I've been where a lot of them have been. I just badly wanted to feel loved or at least wanted at a time where everyone around me seemed to be finding it. And Vanessa Carlton who I respect immensely, was NOT helping the situation with this song! But I suppose, if it makes you feel something that strong either way, that's how you know it's art.

Wow. I just watched the Die Dinosaur video and then I ended up over here in the comments section, reading what you wrote a year ago. That was very beautiful. I can tell you have an amazing heart. I hope you are doing well

[@lesliemcintosh3385]

You have a beautiful soul

[@dakurinku8330]

That’s exactly how feel I can totally relate to you

[@vam9785]

Memories from innocent times ♥️

[@Mike4metal]

Vanessa”s music and Voice Reminds me of Happy moments of The 90”s! A Special Time!❤️🔥✨✨✨

[@angelicarama4261]

[@immortalfirefly0641]

[@wubranch1]

[@yanfernandosembiring441]

98-2008 👍

[@Pinketuzz]

We now live in a post bieber selena taylor time. But this was the era my childhood when music was at it´s best. When you used bluetooth to send songs and myspace was the shit.

[@mr.potato6643]

YASS 😂

[@danielberzeliusp1893]

yeah I hate those artists

[@millithkiller6355]

I don't remember MySpace cause I didn't pay attention to technology but things changed

[@em4957]

Myspace's era was during my elementary/ middle school days. I remember that some kid named Ollie had an account and we all thought he was so cool because our parents wouldn't let us have our own social media accounts. I miss those days. (Early 2000's) Especially the music. Britney Spears was my favorite but my parents wouldn't let me listen to her music after she went batshit crazy and shaved her head...

[@vatsalamolly]

Pinketuzz Taylor started on Myspace

[@umiiscasa5087]

Never heard this song until today..yes it’s a beautiful song and she has a angelic voice ..flawless ! crazy these jewels are buried it’s too pure for them

[@zd-pw6df]

[@monicagarcia7930]

Those were the best days of our lives and we just didn't know it💟

[@savouritall5309]

There’s always a chance to rewrite that narrative tomorrow!

[@twilabritton1012]

She got me through my pre-teens years, and it’s crazy how’s she’s guiding me through my adult years now

[@chathupanethmina1993]

I am still love thus song and vanessa carlton 😀😍

[@sil3ntdogood]

the 90's innocence feel with updated early 2000's look. Love it :)

[@LastSaturday09]

There’s nothing 90s about this.

[@LastSaturday09]

You don’t know 90s if you think this is “90s”

Vanessa you're treasure! Your music moved me back to piano. I didn't play for ages but recently I do it regularly by practicing your tunes! Thank you

[@NostalgiCrazy]

Awesome song and vid, sad that it never got attention like A Thousand Miles :(

[@msmelodymelOriginal]

Agree!!

[@shawnrose1211]

Terry crews never sang it in a movie...

[@johndoran1754]

Thought i was the only one gets she's good

[@brycedixon6127]

Sebizzar it still can share

[@jaceycarlos]

Totally agree. This is my favourite song of hers.

[@eiffelviolet]

I have such a deep, spiritual connection to this song. When I listen to this song, I think of the boy who asked me out in middle school that I turned down. I actually was into him, but I turned him down because I was scared. I regret it a lot. :(

[@jaconova]

:(

[@eiffelviolet]

@@jaconova Thank you.

[@huestonx1276]

Every person In the world should hear this and hug the person to your left and right so we can all meet in the middle :)

[@rolo_061]

Hats off to your comment brother, atleast there are some people out there like u and me lol

[@ILoveKittyCats98]

[@TomEbbsjamasteroids]

Eminem's videos have always been kinda simple...funny, ingenious and beautiful and also awesome...he was releasing his best work around early 2000s

[@AnggaNegara]

Rohite ® yeah agree with you man. this kind of "simplicity" is so rare nowadays. dont even get me started on the song ...

[@danskylerbustamante2119]

Rohite ® all of them are busy twerking now a days -_-

[@robincmiwiw6454]

If i can go flashback 10 years ago, it’s the best moment i’d ever had.

[@cpace4031]

She has an amazing voice. I wish she had more great hits. Love her eyes

[@irishdisaster1988]

[@osmandannointedone]

I was about comment on that

[@LexyRoseVlogs]

yes it is!!

[@chrispleasantable]

This was track 1 and the 2nd single from Vanessa's 1st album "Be Not Nobody" and was the 2nd song I learned by this amazing singer, songwriter, and musician and is my favorite, Vanessa Carlton, you rock! This is a real 2002 love song right here. This was also track 10 from the "Now That's What I Call Music! 11" CD.

[@tommysandal6930]

are you that same guy who commented on the coldplay video?!!!

[@tommysandal6930]

or what ever video it was, your the guy who said "people say I know my music" or something like that

[@chrispleasantable]

Yes, I am that guy!

[@tommysandal6930]

ha knew it

[@chrispleasantable]

I kind of had a feeling

[@LastSaturday09]

The early 2000s vibe is strong with this one! ☀️🌈🌴

[@tinahphillemon]

2023 still on this song ❤

[@agentsmithy1450]

Gosh!! These times were magical! The 90's! Something about those times. Each time I listen to songs like these, I get taken to this beautiful, magic place.

[@LTG22]

plot twist! it wasn't the 90's!

[@joemartinez8105]

It was 2002 but it certainly had a 90's feel. It's all in the same realm.

[@gizmo1538]

Miss the early 2000s songs!

[@lance6232]

This song is absolutely beautiful, i dont understand why this song didnt get the popularity that a thousand miles have.

[@jaywill1978]

The drummer nailed it on this track 👌🏼

[@_rogertaylors_car]

Of course, it's Abe Jr!
