Vanessa Carlton wrote “A Thousand Miles” in her childhood home as a teenager. Little did she know the song would become an international smash hit, a film-soundtrack favorite, and would be repurposed by new artists and the internet for the next 20 years

Sorry but as a Tori Amos fan, I thought she was a wannabe.

[birkenstoxxx]

i mean who can really blame someone for wanting to be like tori amos

[nermal_kat]

Good point... but a poseur nonetheless.

doing "research" on this i learned she's not part asian? i thought she was mixed! also there's nothing about her attending Juilliard so what is the truth???

her wiki says she went to Columbia for a year then dropped out so freshman year 18-19. so the only time frame for her to write this song is then when she was 19 so lets say first semester at Juilliard because "Vanessa Carlton wrote “A Thousand Miles” in her childhood home as a teenager. " afterwards she wasn't a teen anymore

i am perplexed
bamboozled
lied

but i will not be silenced or silent VANESSA

Mm making my way down town.

Why is she home bound tho?

[callonme_84]

Lol I know? Why is she headed home I always wondered. She’s 1st making her way down town and then suddenly heading home.

Ooor is she going home so she has to make her way back town to do so

LMAO!!
🤣🤣🤣

I think her third album was called heroes and thieves or something and it was so good!

I still love Nolita fairytale

[ellyrianna]

Heroes and Thieves was an amazing album. I wrote a song explication for the title track in tenth grade English class lol

Home and More Than This are *chef's kiss* when listened back to back. Fools Like Me should've been a radio smash.

for some reason, i got really into her before that album came out. even had some of the demos / early versions of those songs. it's a great album

[yussamahal]

I love this song! She, Michelle Branch and Stacie Orrico were some of my favs when I was in junior high lol

This song still gets me, more now that everything looks so bleak.
