Carlton, Vanessa - Willows Lyrics






Find a love
Go build a cabin
Find land and a tree
Carve in a wish
On your knees, planting seeds
The dirt, makin rows, where the devil don’t see

My love, I agree, so lucky to find ya
But memories, they don’t stay behind us
Our minds are strong, could it be enough
To bring strength to the bones

Our weeping willow is hangin above me
On my back in the sun, would it fall upon me
I won’t let you down and man you will keep safe my love

Sow the earth
A blanket of bounty
In the distance a hearse
The devil drives empty
In a babies eyes
The ritual purifies every design

Our weeping willow is hangin above me
On my back in the sun, would it fall upon me
I won’t let you down cause man you have kept safe my love
Man you will keep safe my love

Our weeping willow is hangin above me
On my back in the sun, would it fall upon me
i won’t let you down and man you will keep safe
I won’t let you down, man you will keep safe
I won’t let you down and man you will keep safe my love

  1. M.... F....

    I am a metal head that means to mostly northern European metal bands.

    But I really love this song. I appreciate music that has such realness to it, which is why I love metal (melo death metal, black, prof)

    But this song has that too. She does great. (Also a sucker for piano and keys)

  2. B.... P....

    This music it's my life... ❤️❤️❤️

  3. j.... ....

    I love the piano on this so much <3

    A música é quente

    Find a love
    Go build a cabin
    Find land and a tree
    Carve in a wish
    On your knees, planting seeds
    The dirt, makin rows, where the devil don’t see

    My love, I agree, so lucky to find ya
    But memories, they don’t stay behind us
    Our minds are strong, could it be enough
    To bring strength to the bones

  5. E.... W....

  10. D.... ....

    Man your songs could go HARD if you just added a little more beat . Not so folksy . Still I listen to you 😚

  11. W.... A....

    Her voice aged extremely well.

  12. E.... W....

    Top album
    1 - Liberman
    2 - Rabbits on the run
    3 - heroes & thieves
    4 - Harmonium
    5 - Be not nobody

  13. B.... R....

    Willows, Carousel, Nolita Fairy tale, basically the whole Liberman Album. I can't find anything else that compares. Listening to these songs has been a 2 year dopamine rush that no matter my day or job I always feel good listening. I certainly hope she can find the time for at least one more album! Not that she would ever see this, but what if her next album was called Willows to delve deeper into whatever makes this song so beautiful? I can only dream.

  14. R.... ....

    Find a love
    Go build a cabin
    Find land and a tree
    Carve in a wish
    On your knees, planting seeds
    The dirt, makin' rows, where the devil don't see
    My love, I agree, so lucky to find ya
    But memories, they don't stay behind us
    Our minds are strong, could it be enough
    To bring strength to the bones
    Our weeping willow is hangin' above me
    On my back in the sun, would it fall upon me
    I won't let you down and man you will keep safe my love
    Sow the earth
    A blanket of bounty
    In the distance a hearse
    The devil drives empty
    In a babies eyes
    The ritual purifies every design
    Our weeping willow is hangin' above me
    On my back in the sun, would it fall upon me
    I won't let you down cause man you have kept safe my love
    Man you will keep safe my love
    Our weeping willow is hangin' above me
    On my back in the sun, when you lay beside me
    Let you down and man you will keep safe
    Let you down, man you will keep safe
    Let you down and man you will keep safe my love

    Does anyone know what's the instrument making that beautiful low sound from 01:55 till 02:05? It sounds so familiar to me though I can't recognize it :(

    �.... �....

    Its so beautifiul isnt it. It sounds like a big tree is coming my way

  16. R.... K....

    Heard this in a Dillard's bathroom 😂😂

  17. A.... L....

    Hi Vanessa Carlton this is Amilkar meabe i gona go to the C. D. M. X México city can i mension you this was Amilkar Luis Flores your ex

  18. J.... Q....

    Halo 3?

  19. j.... f....

    My Fave...

  20. N.... B....

    I like Weelows duju like Weelows.Jestem polką a Weelows to moje ulubione miasto choć go niema był tam legendarny skarb.

  21. M.... ....

    This was really the best song I had for my departed cousin. I had experienced this song now. Man, the best ever of 2018. :D JK! You and I are just used to like this.

  22. P.... L....

    Piano music anyone? :D

  23. S.... G....

    A violen would sound beautiful with this.

  24. L.... ....

    hearing this song, eyes closed.

  25. s.... ....

    Reminds me of Ludovico Einaudi

  26. R.... N....

    Thank You Spotify!

  27. M.... K....

    00:45 "Our memories" not "But memories" right?

  28. z.... ....

    My god!!! I luv this woman's music.

  29. L.... M....

    love this song

  30. C.... ....

    I play myself and play hard music. etc. I listen to lots but not a lot of this style of music. I remembered Carlton from the Thousand Miles hey days and didn't think much when I stumbled on her randomly recently....in the last few days I've become a massive fan. I liked what I heard on occasion before but recently i've been listening to all her stuff. So damn genuine. Love it and looking forward to everything from her in the future

  31. O.... ....

    Having adored her first three albums but NOT having been a fan of "Rabbits In The Run" besides a couple songs, I kinda made a dumb mistake of not checking around to see when she made another album. Can't believe this came out like will be 2 years in a few months. This album "Liberman" is freaking amazing. Honestly I think her music still has a radio friendly vibe even if she didn't sell out or keep as poppy as "A Thousand mIles" over time but who knows, radio confuses me these days with all the alternative options. These days if it's not dancy it doesn't seem to make it too good on the charts or the 2nd option for a big hit is to make a song that's lowest common denominator dumb (Rihanna, I love you but...Work was so so bad).

  32. C.... D....

    I didn't realize how much I missed her

  33. C.... ....

    I think Liberman is now my favorite album from Vanessa. I'll always have a soft spot for Harmonium too though.

  34. G.... L....

    I love Vanessa!

  35. D.... ....

    Hunger games vibes. A lot more up beat, but still. Love it.

  36. A.... C....

    AURORA IS THAT YOU?!?

  37. M.... ....

    she doesnt know that I pray her music and style from Iran

  38. j.... ....

    I just love this

  39. i.... ....

    A E S T H E T I C

  40. J.... B....

    Why she not uploading videos of her channel VanessaCarltonVEVO

  41. W.... C....

    my name!!!😍

  42. e.... f....

    definitely my favourite from Liberman. how i wish someone would figure out the piano notes to this! it sounds like arpeggios, but i'm terrible at identifying notes.

    e.... f....

    F#-C#-F#-C#-F#, A-E-A-E-A, C#-G#-C#-G#-C#, B-F#-B-F#-B

    e.... f....

    +From the Other Side of the Borderline
    thank you so much!!

    e.... f....

    +Sabrina Zhu You're welcome! I just realized I forgot the alternate part. The first arpeggio is the same, the second goes A-E-C#-B-C#, the third is the same, and then B-F#-B-F#-D#-C#

    e.... f....

    +From the Other Side of the Borderline oh, i see! it's fine, thanks for being so kind! :)

  43. R.... U....

    Another wonderful song from Vanessa.

  44. R.... T....

    She has way too beautiful of a voice to be making albums like this. Half of it just sounds like all the other half assed music today, plus the vocals sound so unnatural. Really disappointed in the whole album. She's strayed from the pure, meaningful style she had years ago.

    R.... T....

    Ryan Tedesco Are you kidding me? This is the sort of music her voice is way more suited for, and she's said herself in interviews that Liberman (along with her previous album, Rabbits on the Run) is the sort of music she's always wanted to make. I say kudos to her for defying other peoples' expectations and doing what she wants to do.

  45. J.... ....

    I hope there will be a piano tutorial for this!

  46. M.... W....

    Her new music kinda reminds me of Warpaint. I really like it and glad she stayed true to her self. Her music's beautiful.

  47. P.... H....

    I don't know why but I really like this

    P.... H....

    Peter Hoffman Sometimes you don't need a reason. :)

  48. M.... K....

    realy great! Have think about the past and heared "a thousand miles" but it doesn´s take me with. But this song is wonderful. Thank you (and please excuse my damn faulty german english) Thank you

  49. L.... N....

    VC, you are a gem! your music never let me down. :)

  50. m.... m....

    I love all her songs for its poetic lyrics along its beautiful rhythim and her voice has this punchy sound that makes every word she delivered seeped into the corebof my skin. Love you Vanessa Carlton!!!!

  51. N.... N....

    This is my favorite track from the new album. I think it's because the chords are unique, different but reminiscent of A thousand miles.

  52. K.... K....

    I'm glad she went independent. Yeah, she doesn't sell like she used to, but she stayed true to herself and her signature sound.

  53. K.... K....

    I'm glad she went independent. Yeah, she doesn't sell like she used to, but she stayed true to herself and her signature sound.

    K.... K....

    +King Kami It's a trade off, make money or make music. She chose correctly.

    K.... K....

    +John Shepard I completely agree.

    K.... K....

    It's so courageous - it makes me love and respect her even more! I am so thankful for her music - it is so unique, pure and beautiful. <3

  54. I.... ....

    Lol I have been playing this song for hours today...Really good song :D

  55. K.... S....

    all music should sound as good as hers

  56. J.... ....

    This reminds me of Fleet Foxes

  57. A.... S....

    So far, this is the only song I like from the new album (that granted I've only heard the ones available on YouTube). I like new music, but the 3 echo-y songs I've heard I just can't listen to. They might be good songs, but I can barely hear her and it's hard to understand what she's saying since the music drowns her out.

  58. t.... ....

    such an amazing album! just picked it up today. <3 !!!

  59. M.... D....

    Liberman is a fantastic album. Cant stop listening !

    M.... D....

    Marcin Dalczynski my favorite álbum are:
    Be not nobody (Debut)
    Rabbits on the run
    Harmonium
    Liberman
    Heroes and Thieves

    M.... D....

    Joselyn. C

    Liberman
    Rabbits on the run
    Harmonium
    Be not nobody
    Heroes & Thieves

  60. J.... ....

    i want this song to have an MV. <3 VC

  61. T.... N....

    Love this song!

  62. J.... D....

    Please release the album in the UK

  63. K.... H....

    Your recent songs are very melancholy. While this emotion makes for thoughtful music, it doesn't make people want to listen to it very often. Would you want to constantly listen to sad music? Poe is a great poet, but there comes a point where you need to read something happier.

  64. C.... ....

    Poor Vanessa! She's so underappreciated...

  65. K.... D....

    I love this song and this lyric video.

  66. G.... F....

    me faz lembrar "Half a week before the winter".

  67. M.... D....

    So in love with this song. I have been a fan of hers since I was about 7 and she just keeps impressing me!! Cannot wait for Liberman!!!

  68. C.... S....

    this song totally reminds me of her "Half a Week Before the Winter" SO many goosebumps!!!!!!

    C.... S....

    +Casie Silverman And "Papa" in equal part.

    I don't know if I consider these observations are a good or bad thing overall (lack of creativity would be the bad part of it) but the songs involved are all good.

    C.... S....

    yes half a week before the winter always been one of my favorites and this reminds me so much of that!!

    C.... S....

    Some people did a dance routine to Half a week before, and it was hauntingly gorgeous.

  69. W.... A....

    VANESSAAAA STOP SINGING SO HIGH IT SUCKS i miss the old spooky you -......- good lyircs tough

  70. d.... m....

    combination of the recording style of rabbits on the run but the layers of her past lyrics. love it

  71. D.... ....

    I often wonder if others have the same ears as me!?This "new" sound and direction will be a hard sell on this nessaholic. I'll be fair and wait for the full album. But most of her stuff released in drips since ROTR has been a head scratcher to me. Bathed in afterglow.

  72. H.... ....

    This is BEYOND beautiful. Vanessa is at her best here. Truly exceptional.

  73. S.... I....

    finally... can't wait..

  74. S.... I....

    finally... can't wait..

  75. T.... R....

    Her voice have changed for the better her tone is more deeper.

    T.... R....

    +Trent Rama "more deeper"?

    T.... R....

    +John Shepard listen to the her other records you would understand her vocals is more stronger

    T.... R....

    +Trent Rama I think he is pointing out that your grammar is incorrect. It should me either "more deep" or just simply "deeper."

  76. K.... K....

    Cant wait for Liberman!

  77. f.... ....

    finally some new Vanessa Carlton! <3

  78. L.... C....

    Will buy album, though I think I'll skip the single and get it all at once.

  79. J.... W....

    I love her new sound! If the rest of the album sounds like this then we are all in for a real treat! XD
    Vanessa never fails to amaze me. ^_^

  80. A.... L....

    This might be my favorite "Liberman" track yet. Can't wait to hear the full album next month.

  81. R.... H....

    goosebumps!

  82. H.... S....

    beautiful. love this

  83. R.... H....

    Also the lyrics are particularly strong. . .

  84. T.... S....

    Muito boa a música, estava com saudade da voz da Vanessa amo <3

  85. A.... ....

    agh! I love everything that you create Vanessa!

  86. M.... M....

    stole a grab from this as my facebook cover pic, beautiful

  87. R.... H....

    My favourite song from the album - solidly produced version which doesn't detract from simple beauty of piano and voice.

  88. C.... ....

    I think this is one of my all time favourite songs :) I really hope Liberman is released here in Brazil as well!

    C.... ....

    I bought it. oooooooowwwwwwwww

  89. A.... F....

    ♥♥♥♥♥ it

  90. T.... R....

    beautiful!!!

  91. A.... ....

    I'm really feeling Vanessa Carlton's new album so far. It has all of her sophisticated sensibilities wrapped in a new age, simplified sound. She pays homage to the land, sea, and the sky with a bohemian classiness that sounds like something out of a psychedelic woodland fairytale.

    A.... ....

    Really well put! Exactly the reason why I love her new album ;)

    A.... ....

    @stoneoffarewell I hope she has another album left in her. She is awesome

  92. L.... B....

    this is a great song.... I wonder if anyone will notice that the trees in this vid are all Oaks.

  93. J.... J....

    THIS is literally just perfect

  94. E.... J....

    This is so wonderful!!!

  95. j.... ....

    omgoshh!! <3
    i waited so long (: <333
    everything is so beaut <3

  96. W.... ....

    Love it! Can't wait to hear the full album! I love how Vanessa Carlton's sound has grown over the years.
