    Angelina wrote on her Facebook page about her original "Million Miles"
    " This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in your heart, as it comes straight from mine." 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣

    The little girl in the video is her sister. The shoes are grandpa's. The portraits in the hallway are her grandfathers, the notebook contains her original lyrics for this tune.
    There's a slower version of this from a concert in Norway that is gut wrenching in it's intensity.
    Thanks for your perspective.

    You raise me up!
    Angelina Jordan's performances have been described as therapeutic by many of her listeners. The emotional depth and maturity of her voice can evoke a sense of calm and introspection, which may contribute to a therapeutic effect. Music therapy is a recognized field that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. While Angelina Jordan's performances are not a form of music therapy in the clinical sense, the soothing quality of her music could offer comfort and emotional release to her audience, similar to the effects of music therapy. This aligns with the concept that music, with its universal appeal and ability to touch the deepest human emotions, can be a powerful tool for healing and well-being.

      @larrypifer1103 You have intrigued me with your comments about the therapeutic effects of Angelina's music. I am usually logical and analytical to a fault, but when I accidentally found Angelina when looking for videos of a young French guitarist, I was immediately stunned by the emotions that I felt while listening to her. In all of my 65 years of listening to music, I have never been so affected as I am when listening to Angelina. From watching many reaction videos and many of the Wrapped In A Warm Blanket podcasts, I have learned that many others have had the same experience. If you had to succinctly describe HOW she does this to so many of us, what would you say? I have flogged my brain, trying to understand it, but I am no closer to an answer. Thank you in advance for any effort to explain this.❤️❤️❤️❤️👣

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 This makes me tear up, even for the hundredth time. I think this hits home for many of us. It was about her grandfather. She said that during recording the song, they had to start over because of her crying.

    It was wonderful to see Angelina, little Juliette, and Uncle Mike celebrating the life of their grandfather/his father. At the beginning of the performance, we also see the pictures of both of her grandfathers.

    She was very close to her maternal grandfather and wrote this after he passed. He told her to never regret what she does and he would always be with her. She also wrote the story for this video. At 14!

    Angelina is 14 here. Yes she wrote this song after the passing of her maternal grandfather. Some of the lines are based on things that he actually said to her such as he would be watching her from the moon.
    Angelina says that she created the storyboards for the video. She also said that when she was recording it in the studio, the tears were flowing.
    In the video Angelina’s sister Juliette plays a young Angelina and her uncle Mike plays her grandfather (Mike’s dad).
    Her family members appear in several of her videos.

    Like so many Angelina songs, we hear her emotions come through the music so clearly. Angelina has the ability to connect with listeners immediately. She’s singing to you, and you’re hooked from the first notes.
    Her sadness at her grandfather’s passing is balanced by the positive knowledge that they will always be connected at a different level. It’s a universal theme that Angelina shares with us through her lyrics and her beautiful vocals.

    I believe she was 14 here. She is 18 now. She has moved forward a million miles if you'd pardon the pun and gotten even better, as impossible as it may seem.

    How is it possible to have such a mature voice with so much personality being so young? How talented she is! Angelina is 18 years old and in this video she just was 15. Well, she was 15 when it was posted, she was probably 14 when it was recorded, amazing or stunning as you said. Thank you Charlene 👏👋

    You are to be applauded for not interrupting the song. This is the first reaction of yours that I have seen. Angelina is the ultimate storyteller in music. I see that you have only reacted to three songs, song by Angelina. I would recommend that you move up to some more recent material just to see what she is today, and then casually return to the over two hundred covers she has claimed as her own since she was 6. One would be, "Unchained Melody" she performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Award Presentation Ceremony is Angelina's birth country Norway in December last year. Also, her performance with famous songwriter Toby Gad in the Church singing, "If I Were A Boy," made famous earlier by Beyoncé in 2009. I am unaware just what you know of Angelina's career, but you will be educated here in the comments by us, "Angels," as Angelina calls us, her fans. You are getting to know the finest female vocalist to ever live. There has never been another with her combination of talents. She is 6'1" tall, is now 18. English is her third language of 4. She has been signed to Republic Records since she was 14 but not heavily promoted until now as she and family want her to be mature to handle her modern music career pressures. Republic built her a recording studio last summer. Enjoy the best!

    So very sorry for your losses Charlene. "Million Miles" by Angelina Jordan is the song and artist which allowed me to complete the grieving process for 5 loved ones lost in a 3+ year timeframe before the pandemic. The key to this beautiful song is, it provides HOPE by reminding us we are never alone.
    Angelina has said she has written more than 100 songs and we have heard 14 to date. Here is the list.
    "What is Life" first sung at age 11. We don't know how old she was when she wrote each song. Age presented is her age when she first sang it.
    "Oslo" age 11
    "Shield" age 12
    "Million Miles" age 14 we know she wrote this one in the days after her maternal grandfather passed in 2019 when she was 13
    "7th Heaven" age 15
    "Love Don't Let Me Go" age 17
    "Now I'm the Fool" age 17
    "Fire and Rain" age 17
    "It's All My Fault" age 17
    "Good in Goodbyes" age 17
    "Diamond" age 17
    "Our Time" age 17
    "Princess of Ruins" age 18 ..... only performed at her 2 shows in Las Vegas 2/29/24
    "Bad Valentine" age 18 worked with Toby Gad
    Should include songs for which she was the first to sing
    "I'm Still Holding Out for You" age 10 .... considered one of her best vocal performances by many
    "Song for A" age 12
    "Above the Water" a EDM song released January 31, 2020
    "We're the Best" sung with RedOne at the FIFA Awards February 27, 2023
    Angelina wrote new lyrics for two famous songs by Amy Winehouse, "Back to Black" and "Rehab" since it was inappropriate for a preteen to sing the original lyrics. For "Back to Black" Angelina wrote the new lyrics in the 24 hours prior to the recording, then needed just two takes.

    If my memory serves me correctly, Ms Jordan has done four versions of this beautiful song, The most emotional one in my opinion is on stage in Norway at age 16. (Thank you for a great reaction)

    • @pjg58x
      @pjg58x 4 місяці тому +4

      If you are counting her live performances then she has done this song at least 6 times. This official music video version, her “live in studio version”, at least 2 different live concert performances in Norway in 2022, at Portsmouth last September and in Vegas in February

    1) Should have done the live version.
    2) I would recommend ""I'M STILL HOLDING OUT FOR YOU""(my favorite). Although she has so many GEMS.
    3) It's always good to keep a box of tissues around when it comes to ANGELINA.
    SEE YA ON THE NEXT ONE!
