i love the part in this video where Vanessa is saying that there are probably lots and lots of people who don't like the song A 1000 Miles, and her mom is forcefully shaking her head NO: "how could anyone not like this song??"
@@cesarcueto1995 They filmed the video by actually pulling Vanessa and the piano on a flatbed all over town, rather than doing it with special effects.
Not one person can hear 1000 miles, without seeing Terry Crews singing.. biting his lip & shaking his head to the violin .. I think she’s super cool to let them use it.,
@@AttnDefDis_ you are THE FIRST HUMAN IN MY LIFE to never have seen White Girls or at least not have seen that scene.. THE...FIRST.. you must live on another planet to not ever have seen or know about that...
I love the producer's passion, even after decades he still has it which is so beautiful, we tend to forget that these people are behind those artists and they deserve credit as well.
This song actually doesn't remind me of White Chicks as much as it reminds me of my childhood, because I remember hearing it being played so much! It reminds me of the aughts and nostalgia. I don't think it will ever lose its manner of time.
So cool getting the backstory on this amazing song. I have to admit...this was one of my favorite songs. Just like Ron is talking about, he recognized it had something...that something was Vanessa Carlton.
I was about 7 when the song came out, my older sisters kept it on replay for months. It brought us some much happiness. Now that I listen to it as an adult, I feel so many emotions and I often find myself crying. Brings back good memories. And the lyrics, oh my god. So simple and so effective. They remind me of someone I never had the chance to have a relationship with but did love me the way I loved him. And yeah, I wonder if he ever thinks of me.
The song was released in '01 but White Chicks came out a few years later. It was perfect timing too, especially by early aughts media standards. Things just didn't pop up and disappear so fast back then. But having that 3 year or so gap between the two really helped cement that song into memory. Just as it was fading out of "new music" territory, it's thrust right back in.
I watched this when it premiered & I’m so excited to watch it again right now. She is the absolute cutest for doing this documentary while living with her mom. A lot of us end up living with our parents on and off & it’s just kind of nice seeing someone like her doing the same thing I’ve done.
“The little rift thing” was so perfect because of you, Venessa. I listen to this video song to this day! In my opinion, if there is an award for song and video, you, Venessa are the winner for A Thousand Miles.
The thing that’s so crazy is how the experience of this song and making it in the industry was miserable for her. And I’m sure the song had to remind her of that experience over and over. And she had to come to peace with the fact that she made a song that touched people and it was for them. And be able to leave bad experiences in the past and move forward as an artist
Feel like they won't because they tend to focus on stories from artists who were one hit wonders, or at least, that are primarily remembered for a breakout song. I feel like she has a whole career of acclaimed and popular songs and full length records. Soviet Kitsch, her third record, is to this day a very popular album and actually precedes the album Samson is on. Needless to say, I can imagine that a very good documentary.
This video is everything. I remember the first time I heard “A Thousand Miles”, and I loved it so much! I was so excited when I got her album for my 12th birthday. This song to this day remains one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES. Much love to you Vanessa Carlton. ♥️
! I wanna know more about this secret crush too :D especially because my memories will always be associated with my secret crush when I was 12 with this song 20 years ago :D (I was OBSESSED with this song back then!) haha Maybe I picked up unconsciously the energy of this song back then because I didn't know she wrote it about her own secret crush 😅
My favorite song forever.. I still play it around my kids they loved it and had it in their own playlist.. This song is like an all season song something very beautiful that loops in your head...
Famous actors who attended Juliard at the same time as Vanessa: Wes Bentley, Christian Camargo, David Conrad, Glenn Howerton, Anthony Mackie, and Alan Tudyk
This song is timeless, the fact that there are adults that werent even born when this song came out that are listening and loving this song is proof its a classic
What I get from watching this is that she was difficult to work with and you can tell based on how her mother is. She is that type of mother that throws her child at competitions and hounds for her daughter to be the best
19:48 the way she sings the "sky" reminds me of another famous singer but I can't put my finger on it. The way she puts her voice farther back and the fast vibrato
i just remember blasting this song on repeat on my iPod shuffle and crying into my powerpuff girls pillow crying over an imaginary boyfriend that i never had in my entire life lol. this song was definitely one of my favorites and holds memories i will forever remember. thank you Vanessa Carlton.
I'm sad because if it wasn't for that record label focusing only on milking this one hit song dry, I could easily she Vanessa like one new Alanis Morissette or Tory Amos.
I learned this song in 7th grade when it first came out. I was obsessed. I would record it anytime it came on the radio with a tape player and write down the time and date in a notebook. I still have her songbook from back then. What a blast from the past.
I love this song. It's a masterpiece, but she has so much amazing music on top of "A Thousand Miles." "White Houses" gives me such chills every time I hear it.
I heard about her only with this song and after I didn't hear of her anymore, I am not from that time but she has only one song that became a worldwide hit and maybe the rest of songs became hits only inside of the US and I don't know why some musicians are not anymore famous in other countries, they are known only for one song.
the thing that i loved of this song is the part she would walk a thousand miles to see somebody, that felt real, a true and genuine interesting for someone. Like it was worthy to walk all the way long, even if it was a thousand miles.
Anyone who says she's a one hit wonder has never truly given her complete discography a sincere listen. Vanessa has plenty of amazing songs and albums.
I still have my CD of "Be Not Nobody" that I bought for my 11th birthday back in 2004. Granted it's scratched up and looks terrible for an 18 year old CD but it still plays, such good memories listening to that album; "Ordinary Day" still makes me cry, I can't help but sing it at the top of my lungs when I listen to it
I love you so mich vanessa, and thank you for creating the most historical song that ever made in the world. I’m from the philippines. And your song is Golden and beloved here in our country. So much for a long long time. This song will stay forever. I wish i can hug you vanessa and thank you. ‘A thousand Miles is a global sensation to all countries around the world 🌎
I'm not into pop music and I've always thought that piano riff was made for a TV commercial. Now I know it's a real song with a story behind it and will appreciate it more.

@Aastha your opinion is wrong
@Aastha cope
The song is well loved. You are just being a snob if you hate it.
@Aastha so what if charlie puth is a better signer? if he is a better singer other people cant make good song? fuck yourself
@Aastha you just want Attention… How Long has this been going on? 😁
The fact the video wasn’t green screen makes it ten times better.
A thousand times better

From Philippines, everybody loves that song! We play it on karaoke, on our drive, travel and family gatherings! It is universal.
Not one person can hear 1000 miles, without seeing Terry Crews singing.. biting his lip & shaking his head to the violin .. I think she’s super cool to let them use it.,
How about the millions of us who never saw that movie? I always just think of the awesome music video.

Nah, that movie was shit. Many didn’t waste their time with that racisit film.
Never saw the movie and this is the first time I've heard the song. Very catchy.
This song will never die. Ever.
I agree.
White Chicks wouldn't be the same without this song! A timeless classic
I love the producer's passion, even after decades he still has it which is so beautiful, we tend to forget that these people are behind those artists and they deserve credit as well.

i adoooooore vanessa. i’m so glad more people are talking about her and her insane talent and craft.
I'm with Ron on "Pass me by"
Same, it’s PERFECTION !
Of course !!
1000% yes - thank you, Ron, for fighting her over it! Going high made it goosebump level for all of us
I love her mum! "Vanessa, put on a hat and look down". She deserves a TV show.

When was made? Because she's been married for nine years, and was probably just visiting to show where it was written.
“The little rift thing” was so perfect because of you, Venessa. I listen to this video song to this day! In my opinion, if there is an award for song and video, you, Venessa are the winner for A Thousand Miles.
A thousand miles was one of the first English songs I learned and made me fall in love with piano.
Call her a one hit wonder if you want but her one hit is bigger & better than most artist’s careers ✨🖤
Ron cracks me up he reminds me of somebody’s unhinged uncle
My man might be unhinged but he MAKES HITS. We all owe Ron big time
this song is famous until now. timeless music ❤️ thank you for this 😭
Love love love that album! "Be Not Nobody" is in my top 5 of favourite albums. It has a permanent place in my CD changer.
More of these stories please. Please bring back our childhood heroes
this song is so timeless, makes me think of someone who left me and i still miss him all the time even 4 years later.
i love that she never let them take control her

And she had to come to peace with the fact that she made a song that touched people and it was for them. And be able to leave bad experiences in the past and move forward as an artist
perfectly said
This song is the pinnacle of early 2000s
I simply love this song. It's my going home song. I would listen to this song on repeat while on a bus going home while I was in college.
How many of us immediately watched the video for “A Thousand Miles” after watching this?
I'm about to, that's for sure.
Still shed a tear when hearing this song. Soooo enchanting
I Hope they make the story about "Samson" by Regina Spektor 🙏🏻
Yess

Damn. You can tell how passionate that guy is about music. I dig it
bro, ron is so into his craft i love it
Is there actually anyone that doesnt like this song? Like its a proper masterpiece
@Aastha it’s nice to know even haters occupy their mind with this song too 😌
@Aastha you're allow to not like it
@@rv9051 why are you starting shit. Liking things is subjective, people are allowed to not like things you do. Its not an attack on you

Could the Julliard student she had a crush on be Oscar Isaac? He's about her age, he's a famous actor and he went to Julliard
! I wanna know more about this secret crush too :D especially because my memories will always be associated with my secret crush when I was 12 with this song 20 years ago :D (I was OBSESSED with this song back then!) haha Maybe I picked up unconsciously the energy of this song back then because I didn't know she wrote it about her own secret crush 😅
He's the one that popped up in my mind too! Awe I would like to believe it is! LOL!
Who says it's a "he"... she specifically stated "this person" she doesn't say he or she... just putting it out there.
@@a.m2707 She says "actor"
@@leonardwashington710 it's the 21st century... you know that females are referred as actors now
Absolutely love the song till this date. Especially the riff!
My favorite song forever.. I still play it around my kids they loved it and had it in their own playlist.. This song is like an all season song something very beautiful that loops in your head...
Didn't know I needed to see this. That song was meant and means so much to me but I never invested in her as an artist. Time to explore her music!
I literally was just wondering the other day how she wrote this timeless masterpiece and then three days later I see this on my recommendations
Her influence is astonishing and she is underrated.
Famous actors who attended Juliard at the same time as Vanessa: Wes Bentley, Christian Camargo, David Conrad, Glenn Howerton, Anthony Mackie, and Alan Tudyk
Thanks for doing the research! I think it was Wes Bentley. Unless it was a woman (Vanessa is bi)
This song and actually all the other songs on the album are really good. Crazy how it all unfolded.
Ron Fair is such a great character haha I love his energy!
This song is timeless, the fact that there are adults that werent even born when this song came out that are listening and loving this song is proof its a classic
The entire album is amazing.
Every time I think I couldn't love this woman more, it turns out I'm wrong. And Terry Crews is such a treasure.
What I get from watching this is that she was difficult to work with and you can tell based on how her mother is. She is that type of mother that throws her child at competitions and hounds for her daughter to be the best
true, mom is too much and it shows.
One of my UA-cam favorites. It always makes me happy

Damn i had a crush on her when i was 12 and now im 31 and still do :o
this song brought me back to where i watched this music video back then on MTV 😩😢

Vanessa is such a humble person. So charming
I like how down to earth She is.some celebrities went crazy and depressed for less.
Vanessa, Michelle Branch, Linkin Park, etc. I was happy to be breaking through my teenage years at the time they were so huge
I love this song. It's a masterpiece, but she has so much amazing music on top of "A Thousand Miles." "White Houses" gives me such chills every time I hear it.
Sometimes I just really want to go back even just for a day and look back how things were before. I hope time travel is possible before I die.
It truly was awesome back then.
I heard about her only with this song and after I didn't hear of her anymore, I am not from that time but she has only one song that became a worldwide hit and maybe the rest of songs became hits only inside of the US and I don't know why some musicians are not anymore famous in other countries, they are known only for one song.

Now I'm so curious about who's the crush. Googling famous actors who went to Jukiard now.
Same! I must know who this actor is lol
What’s the research

my favorite song from her is A thousand miles and Are you happy now. So glad to had a chance to hear the story behind it.
Heroes & Thieves is one of my favorite albums ever!
I remember listening to this song through ABC radio australia.. and suddenly this was the song that I always waited every day...
I'm not into pop music and I've always thought that piano riff was made for a TV commercial. Now I know it's a real song with a story behind it and will appreciate it more.
Wait it was in a commercial? I don't know a lot of the songs that are made now. I don't know any of the artists except for a person named little baby.
Ok
Paradise was always my favorite song on "Be Not Nobody", but that whole album is good, song 1 to song 11.
Terry crewS made it ICONIC❤️
White chics!! Ahhahhah
Who's Terry crewS?
Nah it was iconic before.
It was already iconic before it came out in White Chicks.
Without her he wouldn’t of become an icon she was already iconic and that song was phenomenon before the film, so take several seats.
My cousin has a piano signed by Vanessa. Great artist. 🎶
I love how her mom and Sinatra keeps coming into the shot..
"put on a hat and look down". Vanessa's mother is a treasure
This song meant sooo much to my young heart. Still does
Terry Crews is the reason why this song is on one my playlist.
Pretty Baby and Wanted are still my favorites ☺️
8:09 that is sh1t scary. Imagine how many melodies were thrown away without them ever getting a chance. Man!
It was a true masterpiece in 21st century.....
It's a song that even if you ever get an amnesia, this will be the only one that will still remain stuck in your memory.
My favorite artist of all time.
That Riff alone gives me chills
She’s definitely someone who doesn’t care anymore BUT at one time, she was magic. Beautiful, great voice and a killer record.
Beautiful song by a beautiful lady. Magic
I'm trying to listen to her talk about the song but her bangs are bothering me 😭😭😂😂😂😂!
HOLY LORD! When she starts playing that riff....
This documentary has a hint of the office vibe and Im enjoying.
SINATRA! NO! WHERE IS HE?!
Every dog parent.
Honestly, this is the realest and sweetest Documentary. Living with parents during covid with her dog ☺️
Vanessa is incredible! 😍 I will forever listen to this song! ❤❤❤
this song is legendary
Vanessa, that was one of the most beautiful song everrr ❤️❤️
I love "a thousand miles, but "ordinary day " is my jam!
I love this.. humble..down to earth people. What a great artist.
