Please never take this down. This is the only place I've ever been able to find this super rare song, and I've been watching/listening to this exact video since I was 13 years old, I'm 21 now. I never get sick of it.
This isn't the original, the only thing we have of it is the tape demo. This is the theme for the game SpyHunter 2 , and they changed the lyrics in the song Carnival more to fit it.
For two decades I saw the flyer for this song sticking out of the Spy Hunter 2 ad in my now retro gaming magazine. Today I am finally checking it out. Way better than I thought it would be. I'm gonna check out the ps2 game too.
This song is still such a gem. I remember renting her CD’s in the library and never could find this song on any of them. This is the only place, and here we are 14 years later.
Awesome song, so underrated and under appreciated, that piano rift is so mesmerizing and the chorus vocals are ultra addicting as the tension builds, superb talent
well I guess the OP is just wondering why that was her only song that got super popular, when she has written loads of other really good songs. It is a shame, isn't it? :(
nice to see somebody knows other vc songs besides thousand miles . she is amazing artist but it upsets me when they only know the one song for those that dont know any other i would look into white houses, papa, wreckage, Annie, half a week before the winter, carousal, hero's and thieves, home, london just to name some for people to listen to and try
Wow, what a gem of a find this song is. I’ve only recently ‘discovered’ Vanessa after hearing a clip of 1000 miles on a radio pop quiz. Amazing how many songs are amazing on all her albums I’ve recently acquired (White Houses is phenomenal), and then you find other songs like this when you delve into off album stuff.
This is actually the version for spyhunter or w/e the game is called, the origonal is called 'Carnival' type in vanessa carlton carnival and watch the video
Wow, this definitely has a different vibe than the songs in Be Not Nobody; it has a kind of hip-hop sound! (It sounds closest to "Prince", but even breaks that mold.) Thanks for uploading!
When I was in 10th grade, I ran with this song echoing in my head. This is an amazing song!! I'm listening to this song now, and thinking of all the memories!
This is fantastic! Definately the best song i've heard from her. I love how modern and how wel produced it is, while still using a lot of classical instruments.
Why always with her songs, i mean One by One, i can not stop listening to them once i get started! COME ON VANESSA!!! We hav also other things to do! stop making them so GORGEOUS!!! XP
she does have new songs... if you don't already know, heroes and theives is her most recent CD released in fall of 2007. it's her best cd in my oppinion by far, and although it's a completely different sound, it's amazingly brilliant. =)
i can see why this track didn't make it on Be Not Nobody, as it's pretty different than most of the stuff on the album, but wow what an intriguing song.
the is from a unreleased version of her first album the real name of the song was originally called carnival and the lyrics were totally different from these if you look up spyhunter 2 in the Wikipedia and go to soundtrack it'll explain everything about this song
It was originally called Carnival and it has different lyrics from Dark Carnival to fit the game SpyHunter 2 more, I.E. "Don't you run from the show, 'cause I just want you to know that I love anyway, and I will not let you go" became "When you get your bloody dose, in the still of the night, it is there you'll feel it most, In this dark carnival, where the end is close".
it is so bad of me to automatically know wat you meant! But i understand, she is very good. there is no one like her out there. I heard she started playing at 17. because she was taking ballet in a music/dance school but she switched cause it didnt work out. Thats pretty late to start learning how to play and couple years later being a famous writer/singer/pianist. i'm very jealous and inspired by this chick!
To: icyflamer You can download the YT vid with a Firefox add-on like Downloadhelper and then with the use of a simple video editor you could save the sound separately.
@AchillLad (Vanessa new album deserves a little better of a venue then best buy.) I agree with you; Vanessa, has always been one of my Favorite female singers. For many reasons; for one : "she uses her music to express herself verses having a paid song writers/ a whole crew people behind her; to get the money! Of course she has talented "producers" that help. But The curse of "the limelight" didn't destroy her ambitions. I guess, I admire "underdogs")
what are you talking about the first 41 seconds not being needed? She obviously put it there for a reason, I thought it was a dramatic beginning to the song.
Also Vanessa Carlton is by far better than Miley Cyrus, and I just love this song it’s so dark and beautiful at the same time and that’s what the world needs right now
Please never take this down. This is the only place I've ever been able to find this super rare song, and I've been watching/listening to this exact video since I was 13 years old, I'm 21 now. I never get sick of it.
I KNOW! The original track has to be somewhere, it was on a video game too
This isn't the original, the only thing we have of it is the tape demo. This is the theme for the game SpyHunter 2 , and they changed the lyrics in the song Carnival more to fit it.
I love this. And yes...I only hear this one hear too.
Fuck yeah. I hope this could somehow get on Spotify one day lol
Phillip P I remember there being a live performance video on spyhunter 2. Dont know why this was never actually released. It’s so fucking good!!
I just wish that this song must be on Spotify 😢 it's as rare gem.
I found out about her through this song on Spy Hunter 2. Im really glad I bought that game lol

It was a special song specifically for a game. Called spy hunter it was never officially released but was thrown in as a bonus in the game.
This song brings me back to years gone by and a time and feeling I’ll never know again, thanks for the upload, please never take this down
Awesome song, so underrated and under appreciated, that piano rift is so mesmerizing and the chorus vocals are ultra addicting as the tension builds, superb talent
I haven't heard this song in years. I still have spyhunter. I won't ever throw away that game now. :)
amazing talent barely recognized...the music industry is sick.
Marina Knok You have reason
I love the background picture
Whoever had SpyHunter 2 has to hear this song
she's been singing this dark and twisty music since I've known her, but I can't ever stop listening to it, because IT IS WAY TOO ADDICTING
what a beautiful photo....
I've never understood why Vanessa is somewhat of a "One Hit Wonder" she's so amazing!
It's because of a thousand miles. Seems like everyone loves her just because of that one song.
well I guess the OP is just wondering why that was her only song that got super popular, when she has written loads of other really good songs. It is a shame, isn't it? :(
PumpkinMozie Yes indeed
She’s too good to be mainstream. Her talent would be wasted on the mainstream.
She's definitely NOT a one hit wonder. Perhaps you need to get out more
nice to see somebody knows other vc songs besides thousand miles . she is amazing artist but it upsets me when they only know the one song for those that dont know any other i would look into white houses, papa, wreckage, Annie, half a week before the winter, carousal, hero's and thieves, home, london just to name some for people to listen to and try

Awesome
dark and amazing!
she's so dark and so beautiful!
Ahhhh panic doing my dissertation to this….. little did I know how golden that time was
I knew knocked a few of the last verses out the park.
This song is awesome. It's a shame it's only been on Spyhunter II...
I...I I'm at a lost of words for this song
So......Amazing!

.... Spyhunter
this is one of my favourite songs by the amazing vanessa carlton.
When I was in 10th grade, I ran with this song echoing in my head. This is an amazing song!! I'm listening to this song now, and thinking of all the memories!
4 years after I discovered this song and I still love it.
OMG I can't wait until the new album comes out. This song is really great.
I adore this song...
I don't know how you got it,
but thank you very much for uploading it.
♥
One of my favorite songs by her.
Amazing!
Love so much!
Perfect 4ever...it's scary.
yeah, i can so totally relate. it's annoying knowing how many fans she's got.
I do too..I think she is one of the most gifted and greatest singers ever.
I just LOVE this pic of her it goes amazingly good with this song.
Here for my yearly listen
very sad song, makes me remember something that i lost
wooow awesome song and very very nice pic of her
This is fantastic! Definately the best song i've heard from her. I love how modern and how wel produced it is, while still using a lot of classical instruments.
if you only listened to this ad a couple of her other songs you might get that impression but a bunch of her songs are rather upbeat
I love this woman, this song is so dark yet beautiful.
She's awesome.
Amazing song, I love it. I really wish she'd release this song! I'd totally buy it! =]
I love songs like these.
Where you have to think hard about their meaning.
It gives me something to do.
Plus the song rocks.
=)
this song is AWESOME i love it ! i'm like totally addicted !
i love so much this song and lovvee vanesa carltooonnn!
Whenever you have an overwhelming schedule, you tend to think of this song. (Or at least I do :))
not just the song, the singer herself is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why always with her songs, i mean One by One, i can not stop listening to them once i get started! COME ON VANESSA!!! We hav also other things to do! stop making them so GORGEOUS!!! XP
"Missile inventory low, initializing vehicle transition."
I like how unique it sounds especially her voice, something new...well old in this case lol
she does have new songs...
if you don't already know, heroes and theives is her most recent CD released in fall of 2007. it's her best cd in my oppinion by far, and although it's a completely different sound, it's amazingly brilliant. =)
What an interesting take. I love it.
It's a pontiac GTO she's sitting in btw
@Mr. ADR rivalry
Basically the same damn car, early 2000’s GM. And yeah the dickhead yellow gives it away
i can like totally connect to this song. :) thanks Vanessa. :)
omg i abs. love this song it sucks that its not on the CD
Enchanting. Beautifully enchanting.
i love this beat...i want this song!!!!! really badly!
I love Vanessa so much!!! I would ❤️ to see her live. Twice!!! 😂😂😂
gosh..i love her voice....
Spyhunter 2!
I LOVE this song, it's so cool and frightening. :D
@AchillLad she was popular for one time after the song a thousand miles came out but she knew it wouldnt last
@AchillLad I TOTALLY agree with you. Not many great singers that actually have talent make it big, sadly.
i can see why this track didn't make it on Be Not Nobody, as it's pretty different than most of the stuff on the album, but wow what an intriguing song.
It would have fit better on Harmonium
If life fast forwarded a few years, this would have been good on heroes and thieves
the is from a unreleased version of her first album the real name of the song was originally called carnival and the lyrics were totally different from these if you look up spyhunter 2 in the Wikipedia and go to soundtrack it'll explain everything about this song

it makes me sad inside that this is not on her new album :-(
She is so beautiful...
it is so bad of me to automatically know wat you meant! But i understand, she is very good. there is no one like her out there.

It could be a very good music for the credit intro of a James Bond movie.
exactly! damn high school musical!
Thanks everyone!
Spy Hunter 2 memories 🥰
Love Vanessa, she's so underrated.
This was on the game Spy Hunter 2 for PS 2
woooow i love this song!

Hopefully it will make it on the next one.

Awesome Song.
Boy, i really gotta download this video... Along with the superhero one.

Does anyone know if this song can be bought online anywhere, its not on itunes or amazon mps downloads.

i luv this song! why didn't it make the cut?
they should've have put it on be not nobody. and it could be a single. i bet it'd be a hit.
Love her music!
Yup and we both have it^^
what are you talking about the first 41 seconds not being needed? She obviously put it there for a reason, I thought it was a dramatic beginning to the song.
I love the way she can just, play this style of piano and add her own voice and create such an.. "emotional song".
lol
but yes, i love this song.
[:
what a cool girl. my first crush.
Yup, still niceee.
yo this song is awesome i cant find it anywhere =[ and its not on her CD it sucks

i like it .. never heard her bassed out like that!
I LOVE HER OMG
Can we please stop mentioning all these other artists? We're listening to Vanessa Carlton, so let's just focus our comments on her :)
Also Vanessa Carlton is by far better than Miley Cyrus, and I just love this song it’s so dark and beautiful at the same time and that’s what the world needs right now
wish she would released her other songs aswell they are so awesome... like all i ask and this one... sigh nessa releas them i want them on cd xD
