ORDINARY DAY --Vanessa Carlton（瓦妮莎 卡尔顿）

独孤飘零

历经一年的精心雕琢，在A&M唱片公司总裁Ron Fair亲自打造的首航专辑“Be Not Nobody”中，Vanessa Carlton以她流行灵魂唱腔诠释从古典到经典摇滚的多元曲风．．．
　　出生于宾州小镇Milford，Vanessa Carlton（瓦妮莎 卡尔顿）的成长过程中总是有音乐相伴，8岁就完成生平的第一部作曲作品，17岁开始在纽约下曼哈顿的酒吧演出。她精湛的钢琴演奏技巧、诚恳真挚的歌声与创作，震慑了音乐大厂Interscope的高层，于是迅速获得一纸合约。
　　首航专辑《Be Not Nobody》中，Vanessa Carlton以她流行灵魂唱腔诠释从古典到经典摇滚的多元曲风，时而柔情似水、时而热情如火、时而朴实真诚。由洋溢华尔滋风情的〞Ordinary Day〞揭开序曲，Vanessa Carlton带领乐迷进行一趟游历异想境地的奇幻旅程；清新流畅的首发单曲〞A Thousand Miles〞一鸣惊人抢滩Billboard流行单曲榜No.5…。
　　唤醒人类深层欲望、引起强烈情绪共鸣的“Be Not Nobody”更备受专业乐评肯定，滚石杂志将她评选为2002年最值得期待的十位艺人之一、称她为“流行版的Fiona Apple”、赞赏她纯熟严谨的钢琴琴艺，并认为其音乐作品蕴含媲美Tori Amos的古典元素、丰富乐音及的和谐合声。

　ORDINARY DAY(平常的一天)

　　[IT WAS] JUST A DAY, JUST AN ORDINARY DAY. / [I WAS] JUST TRYING TO GET BY. / [HE WAS] JUST A BOY, JUST AN ORDINARY BOY, / BUT HE WAS LOOKING TOWARDS THE SKY. / AND AS HE ASKED IF I WOULD COME ALONG, / I STARTED TO REALIZE THAT EVERY DAY YOU FIND / 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 ARE RIGHT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND?"
　　AND AS HE SPOKE, HE SPOKE ORDINARY WORDS, / ALTHOUGH THEY DID NOT FEEL [SO], / FOR I FELT WHAT I HAD NOT FELT BEFORE. / YOU'D SWEAR THOSE WORDS COULD HEAL. / AND I AS LOOKED UPSINTOSTHOSE EYES, / HIS VISION BORROWS MINE…
