My Ears To Yours

Musician Vanessa Carlton premieres her new video for “Hear the Bells” from 2011′s Rabbits on the Run, which features home videos and clips of Carlton as a ballerina. “This visual clip for “Hear The Bells” is my favorite video I’ve ever done thus far. Re-teaming with Jake Davis and his team was fluid and an inspired experience. It was filmed in my house in New York City – the place where I wrote the song.  Doing a video for this song was Jake’s idea and I’m really happy he pushed me to do it.  It is a reveal of my history woven in with the story of a reclusive woman based on Little Edie of Grey Gardens- an eccentric and wonderful lady who rarely left her house. I believe we are our own fortune tellers,” explains Vanessa Carlton. She continues, “Hear the Bells” is about clarity, enlightenment.  It is song map about the journey of someone who is seeking out a remedy.  But remedies lie within us.  That is powerful and true but not always obvious.  I hope the song is a reminder.  In society, the sound of bells marks an important moment in time, whether from a church tower or a wind chime in a garden, it is always a sort of mystical alarm.” Watch here…
