Vanessa Carlton - Take It Easy [Audio Only]

The full length album (that will contain all the songs on the Blue Pool EP), Liberman, will be released in late October.

“This whole album is paired down and minimalist and this song is an example of how you can turn a traditional piano vocal song into something else,” says Vanessa. “Also I'm a big Philip Glass fan and I love how Steve Osborne (Liberman producer & mixer) was able to turn my swirly piano part at the end into this slippery sounding kaleidoscope.”

Lyrics:
I'm old enough to know, too young to let it go
Connected to one billion stars and lights
I know you have to go
Do we follow what we know?
Ill be here for you in the night

Say it once, say it twice, to yourself, to the night
A shaman’s prayer
It’s natural
When it’s quiet, get slow

As your castle crumbles down and it will, take it easy take it easy
When heaven wraps around you and she will, take it easy
Take it in easy

Are you waiting all the time for some unending delight?
Have you ever broken your own heart?

Say it once, say it twice, to yourself, to the night
A shaman’s prayer
It’s natural
When it’s quiet get slow

As your castle crumbles down and it will, take it easy take it easy
When heaven wraps around you and she will, take it easy
Take it in easy

Take it in
Take it
Take it in easy

I just love On that piano & she's got a great sense of humor... A lot of her songs are just hauntingly dreamy....no wonder Stevie nicks calls her her little song

Something really special about this song. In my late 20's now, so many castles have crumbled. This song feels comforting. It touches me in that broken place where very little comfort can reach.

One of the best albums EVER! I never bore of this album and I love this song! ❤

[caseyjones]

vanessa is beautiful, her music is more reflective of her artistry now more than ever, she has shed her pop skin and matured her soul and the result is astonishing.

[tranphuong]

I've been through a lot, I know the feelings of how to see all the castles in my 20s, crumbling down into dust, much of sadness, much of self crucifying, much of depression... but to learn the lessons of how to let them go and keep up, it takes me years.

[Reeny]

Another gorgeous dreamscape by Vanessa....

[SharadaDreamer]

God, I love her. So happy and excited for her new music!

[LylaSwam]

This song makes me feel something I can't explain with words. Amazing...

[tranphuong]

As your castle crumbles down and it will, take it easy take it easy
When heaven wraps around you and she will, take it easy
Take it in easy

This is one of the best songs I have ever heard in my whole 36 years. I heard it and searched for the lyrics and have listened to it 1000 times in 24 hours. It's close to perfect. I too was a huge fan of The Last Unicorn.

[lightandlee]

This song resonates...I've been with you since the beginning. Every new project shows us how much you've grown. I couldn't be more proud and honored to listen to your stories. I learned Harmonium 100% by ear because the sheet music kept getting pushed back...you've been a driving force in my musical life. <3

[LylaSwam]

This song makes me feel there is a place for me, makes me feel there is a home where I could feel confortable

[Markaromangemini]

Favorite song in the catalogue so far.

[cheneechee]

Finally! After 4 years! This song is beyond amazing!

0:19 Hey hey hey

I'm old enough to know, too young to let it go
Connected to one billion stars and lights
I know you have to go
Do we follow what we know?
Ill be here for you in the night

Say it once, say it twice, to yourself, to the night
A shaman’s prayer
It’s natural
When it’s quiet, get slow

Not at all what I expected from the versions I've heard live.  I'll admit - I miss hearing Skye Steel's amazing solo at the end.  But this is beautiful too - this gives me an entirely different experience.  I'm blown away.

As your castle crumbles down and it will take it easy take it To all the people that have betrayed I think Vanessa is fantastic been following her for years 👀

[kamalmiah]

Your voice is lush! Loving the new material. By the way, the song paradise and who's to say? And not to mention thousand miles ❤ 😍

Vanessa Carlton confirme avec ce nouveau morceau qu'est elle est une grande artiste. Elle est pour moi la plus grande artiste de tous les temps. "Take it easy" est une bombe, cette chanson me procure autant de frisson et d'émotion que l'excellent "Hear the bells". Cette orientation "Ambient music" correspond parfaitement à la voix de Vanessa. Mélodie, chant, paroles, mixage, harmonie, tout est parfait. Après le très bon "Rabbits on the run", "Liberman" sera surement un autre chef d'oeuvre ! Love Vanessa <3
