1) EBM band from Czech Republic (former Czechoslovakia). Vanessa del Rio was originally established by Samir Hauser and Dan Rodný to 'make soundtracks for movies of the brazilian pornstar'. After a first rather unsuccessful album the name of the band was shortened, the music became harder, and the second album developed a cult following. After the third album the band split up for some time. Vanessa's descendant, Vanessa Gun, created with Miroslav Papež (aka Moimir Papalescu), member of Gun Dreams, made its first in 1997. After a long pause, the band released their fifth album called 'Ave Agony' and changed their name back to Vanessa and new member Jakub Horák joined and Dan Rodný left the band. After four years Vanessa made new album 'Antidotum'.

3) : Vanessa Nassar is a Lebanese violinist. The beautiful young Vanessa was just nine years old when she started playing the violin, her music is a fusion of occidental grooves and oriental spirits.

Vanessa is the most anticipated violin player in the Middle East. It’s not actually hard to figure out why, it’s because underneath her beautiful look, lies individual musical virtuosity and the sharpest of ears for what a global audience wants to hear.

Vanessa is an entertainer and sees no shame in that. She is a genuinely genre-defying act, willing to go beyond category to explore the joy of music regardless of the cultural hamstrings that restrict the creativity of so many classically trained musicians.

An explosive live performer, Vanessa stared in an intensive touring program that has taken her around the middle-east several times already, where she especially shined in Khmissa Festival even though she hasn’t released yet her first album and music video: Longa V composed by Sami Bitar and directed by Yehya Saade.

Later that year, two other members joined the band: Björn Pinner (bass) and Patrik Angestav (keyboard). During the years, Vanessa has recorded two albums, toured Sweden, performed live in Swedish radio twice and participated in several musical contests with huge success. The band won Sweden's biggest musical competition (Musik Direkt) in 2005. Björn and Patrik left the band recently because of studies and lack of time, and the three remaining members are carrying on.

Hands
Vanessa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I first saw you at the video exchange
I know my heart, and it will never change
This temp work would be all right if you'd call me (you'd call me)
I lie awake at night and for you I pray

We cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me

Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations, shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me, just put your hands on me (Ah, ah ah)

The subway radiates with heat
We've barely met, and still, I cross
The street
To your door

We cross the deepest oceans
Cargo across the sea
And if you don't believe me
Just put your hands on me
And all the constellations, shine down for us to see
And if you don't believe me, just put your hands on me (Ah, ah ah)

Someday when our stories are told
They'll tell of a love like this
When our descendants are all growing old
1,000 years we'll be singing

Na, na na, na na, na na na na

We climb Tibetan mountains, where we can barely breathe
I see the Dali Lama, I feel him blessing me
and all the constellations, shine down on you and me
and if you don't believe me, just put your hands on me

Na na na na na na na

Your hands on me

Na na na na na na na

I first saw you at the video exchange

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vanessa Carlton's "Hands On Me” speak to the intense feelings of attraction and connection that the singer feels towards a stranger she met recently. The opening lines are particularly interesting as she talks about seeing this person for the first time at the video exchange and immediately realizing that her heart would never change regarding him. It suggests that the connection she felt was something deep and inexplicable to her. While she engages in temp work, she wishes that this person would call her so that she can continue to feel connected to him. Every night she prays for him and thinks of him.

The song then explores the extent of their connection by using powerful imagery of crossing oceans, and mountains together, and the constellations shining down on them. The idea of staring at the stars is romantic, especially when complemented with a sense of mutual desire and unity. The whole concept demonstrates how the singer’s feelings for this stranger are powerful beyond measure. Despite her wanderlust and her independence, she’s willing to put everything aside to be with him. It feels like the experience is otherworldly and unique, hence the line “when our descendants are all growing old, 1,000 years we'll be singing,” suggests that their love will stand the test of time and be remembered for generations to come. In conclusion, Vanessa Carlton's lyrics in "Hands On Me" convey the overwhelming sense of attraction and connection that two people can feel towards each other despite strangers meeting only recently.
