Vanessa Carlton ‘Carousel’ Video
Vanessa Carlton is out with the music video to her new single ‘Carousel’, the first release from the American singer songwriter’s fourth studio album ‘Rabbits on the Run’, out June 21st on Razor & Tie.
“‘Carousel’ is the only song I’ve ever written in a dream that sounded lovely the next morning,” Carlton explained. “The origin of ‘Carousel’ is a dream, hence the dreamscape of the visual. I worked with an inspiring group of artists with impeccable taste. We were careful with its visual symbolism. There is nothing meaningless about it and I hope that comes across. The song is hopeful and it grew out of a very dark place. I think this little film of ‘Carousel’ represents the spectrum of the music and I hope it adds a little spark of something pure and inspiring to the mix out there.”

Best,

July 8, 2010 - Pocono Record reports a pit bull accused of biting Vanessa has won a reprieve from being put down and could move back with her owners provided they build a fence around their property. Carlton was jogging past the Teichberg family home in Shohola, PA home May 2nd when she was bit by a dog she later identified as Bella, who was 9 months old at the time of the attack. “I turned and tried to be submissive, and turned into the woods, backing up so it wouldn’t be so angry,” Carlton told the court, adding that as she was turning the dog bit her leg. A mold of Bella’s teeth did not match bite marks on Carlton’s leg following the incident, according to an expert who testified. Read more.
