John from Mansfield, TxVery Surprisingly Upbeat Breakup Song!!.I think its about a long distance relationship and how she would do anything to see him again. Maddie from New York, NyI absolutly love this song! It's beautiful.I can sing, nothing like her of course but no two voices are exactly the same (though I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a hard time differentiating between Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel.) The lyrics are also great. Vanessa Carlton is one of my many musical role models. Marissa from Akron, OhI adore this song, of course.Theresa from Murfreesboro, TnShe sounds like Jewel in this song.Rahul from Chennai, Indiashe sounds a bit.a bit like taylor swift doesn she? lol.Dave from Easton, PaGeez.i've heard of writer's cramp, but THAT'S writer's diarrhea!!.Karen from Manchester, NhTo Marissa, Akron, OH: Can't tell the difference b/n Phil Collins & Peter Gabriel? I would bet you ARE the only one! :) Yes, this is a beautiful song.Some days, I actually do wonder if I could walk the distance to see her. Peter from Munising, MiI had a girlfriend 1100 miles away from me for a long time, and I still miss her to this day.I want to say hello to all my friends in Bundy!!! We did it!!! Woooooo!!!! I love you alll!!!!! Goodnight!!! I think this song is about a dog trying to find it's way back home, kind of like the song Hannah Montana sings in the movie of hers. Kyle from Bundaberg, AustraliaI love the one about the condor.It's about a love that so consumes you that you do anything for it. She has also called the song "a combination of reality and fantasy. Aimee from Renton, WaVanessa Carlton said that she wrote the song about someone on whom she had a crush, but admitted that he was unaware of her unreciprocated feelings for him.Ivy from Springfield, NeI love this song.Acutually I really like the Victoria Justice version a bit more than Vanessa's. Elliott from Franklin, TnI really like this song.Steve from Whittier, CaGreat song.still a huge hit.but has anyone noticed it goes back to 2001, in Legally Blonde? Check the credits!!:).Just search on "Marlboro cigarette theme song" and see for yourself. Nohate from Sf, CaWhy does no one seem to notice or comment that she lifted the beautiful chord rift right out of the old Marlboro cigarette TV commercial theme song from the 1960's? Check it out.Esskayess from Dallas, TxGreat instrumental, but rather airheaded singing.Chris from SomewhereThe "big black guy" who loved the song in White Chicks is former football player and actor Terry Crews who has admitted in interviews that "A Thousand Miles" really IS his jam! In fact, when Terry Crews was on Spike TV's "Lip Sync Battle" his main performance was indeed "A Thousand Miles"!.Joe from 49417How does Nohate not seem to notice or comment that Marlboro lifted it's theme DIRECTLY from The Magnificent Seven (1960) theme?īy contrast, Carlson's tune is light years more original than Marlboro's stolen theme.They used the actual music from the Magnificent Seven in their ads, and I'm sure they paid royalties for it. Old Timer from UsaJoe from 49417 - Marlboro didn't steal its theme from the Magnificent Seven.And I really liked that a lot."Īccording to Terry Crews, he memorized the song and nailed the scene on the first take. That's what they were displaying in that scene. It's like his secret jam, so it's able to push through all of those micro genres and you can't profile who's going to like the song. But the irony is that people associate it with a white girl playing the piano. It's actually the secret song of that big, black dude in the SUV, it's like his jam. That is not the way that they plug it in the film. But the scene that was in was hilarious." When we asked how she feels about the song being used as a white girls anthem, she replied, "If you've seen it, that's not the message of it. I ran into them backstage or something, and they asked me if they could use it. When Songfacts spoke with Vanessa Carlton in 2011, we asked her how she felt about her song in the movie. The movie was trashed by critics and nominated for a Golden Raspberry award for Worst Movie, but some people love the film and lots of people saw it both in the theaters and on its many TV showings. Later in the movie, we find out that it's the favorite song of another character in the film, who happens to be a big black guy (Terry Crews). The agents are nearly busted when they're riding in a car with some real white chicks when "A Thousand Miles" comes on and they don't know the words like every white girl should. This song features prominently in the 2004 movie White Chicks, starring Shawn and Marlon Wayans as FBI agents who go undercover as white girls.
