2002 Vanessa Carlton – Ordinary Day (US:#30 UK:#53)
“Ordinary Day”, originally called Ordinary Days, is a song written and performed by Vanessa Carlton from her album Be Not Nobody. The single peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Carlton wrote the song when she was 17. It is the first song that Vanessa has ever written in only one sitting.
When Carlton performs the song live, she uses some of the original lyrics that she wrote for the song rather than the ones recorded for the album version. On the album, the lyrics at the end of the chorus are “Don’t you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand?” and in the live version Vanessa sings “If we walk now, we will divide and conquer this land”.
