"so i don't know, really what to say about this song. its an old song, and everyone knows it." its a short description, but no good-quality description is necessary, cuz everything is self-explanatory! we all its a beautiful song, and it won't get old!
You sound almost apologetic there pal. If you are feeling that then you should absolutely not, your song here is a beautiful song that lasts through the age, be proud of it, it's your piece of poetry that made its mark. Just remember, people will listen to this after you have left. Think about that, it's immense. Wonderful xx
What happened to artists being able to perform live like this? You hear a lot of the newer popular artists like Katy Perry and Ke$ha and the sound nothing like their cds, or even like they're in key. Here Vanessa is singing AND playing the piano, and she sounds amazing!
@LizzyLife101 YEAH! I mean, I think Harmonium is one of the best albums I've ever heard, and I usually like the lesser known music more of an artist, but I think A Thousand Miles is even better than half of Harmonium. It's a birlliant song. Like, it is PERFECT>
She playing it so emotionless as if she's bored to death of it. I saw her live when her first album just came out. Back then she played this and all her songs with energy and full of emotion. Here she seems to be rushing through it to be done with it.
11cylynt11 well... It's been ages ago and yes she done with the song. Last may in brussels someone yelled " Play ATM" and she gave this funky yet dirty look and yelled back " NEVERRRRR" haha
This song made me fall in love with her music. But now that I'm familiar with most of her work this song is strangely enough not one of my favorites. Is that really weird?

this song will forever be a classic. it’s timeless
It came out when I went travelling in the USA with some friends and always reminds me.of that.
from musical point of view the piano composing is just stunningly beautiful and amazing eargasm !
She has great songs and this one is one of them. I not tired of listening to it and I hope she never gets tired of playing this wonderful song.
I admire so much real Artists. They are so greatly blessed.
I had been listening too many of her renditions of this song and this was probably one of her best
I love this song and her voice.
this song cheers me up when im down
Don't worry; I'm here from Geneva and I'm going to cheer You up
hope it still do
This song forever is awesome
Many can sing, many people play piano, but few can play and sing at the same time. And I'm not even talking about doing it well. She's amazing!
Who's watching this in 2022? You are a legend.
This is amazing, literally can't stop listening to this!
i'm thinking about learning the piano. if i did start, then one of my ultimate goals would be to be able to play this song. it's soooo beautiful.
Did u ever learn piano?
@@caleblawrence5103 Did she ever respond?
I want to know if you ever learned, too!
she has a deep voice but a light singing voice
I love this song forever
She really is amazing!
Absolutely LOVE the top. And, of course, this classic hit .. and her humility. :)
I love this song!
This is one of the best!
wow...now i know i'm really old...first time i heard this was when my senior year in college...and it was like yeeeeaaars ago.

Awesome. Thank you, Melissa.
Love this song!!!!!
Makin' my way downtown
Walkin' fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Starin' blankly ahead, just making my way
Makin' a way through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
It's always times like these when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
Living in your precious memory
'Cause I'll need you
And I'll miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Oh 'cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
And I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't
Makin' my way downtown
Walkin' fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Starin' blankly ahead, just making my way
Makin' a way through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could just hold you
Tonight
love it!!!

King Baller99 Yea ha
sarahviktorija 😂😂😂😂😆😆😆👍👍👍
2021?
amazing comment, *bows*
great
It's great she ACTUALLY plays the piano in real life but i'm not going to lie - it sounds better with the drums and other rock-based loops.
I agree...for pure piano it would need to have a lot more fills when she plays it.
I disagree. Sometimes less is more in terms of arrangements. This gives everything room to breathe.
nobody plays this better than vanessa
❤❤❤
yes i love this song...Ms Carlton plays very good :) i want make a Duet for a song :D
@Bringito365 click on the video by vevo. It has the drums
Good job hit
Fire
@AnTigruz She's a mix of pop, alternative
@LizzyLife101 YEAH! I mean, I think Harmonium is one of the best albums I've ever heard, and I usually like the lesser known music more of an artist, but I think A Thousand Miles is even better than half of Harmonium. It's a birlliant song. Like, it is PERFECT>
Very good, my beauteful girl. ❤❤
Amazing!
🤩
yeah it is acoustic
is it really uploaded in 2007?? high image quality..
"I don't know really what to say about this song, other than... this is why you came."
this song is fabulous. even acoustic it loses none of its charm.
Maybe one day we will have the right to a live acoustic CD. it would be great:).
誰に聞かせても気に入ってくれる
♥️♥️♥️♥️
well done. user friendly. enjoy the trip, cp
chuxtrux Will a 10 year old comment respond?
Era .bom de mais..
sweeeet
'idon't know what to say about this song......it's an old song and everyone knows it.'
lol
Lyrics yeah sure. But she should recognize that her piano riff is insane. It took me a month to learn it
2020
@AnnsMoon they thought it meant dis i like
She's playing this song as if she hates playing it.
11cylynt11
From how popular this song became she must have played it a thousand times. I would be tired of it too
All puns intended!
She playing it so emotionless as if she's bored to death of it. I saw her live when her first album just came out. Back then she played this and all her songs with energy and full of emotion. Here she seems to be rushing through it to be done with it.
11cylynt11 well... It's been ages ago and yes she done with the song. Last may in brussels someone yelled " Play ATM" and she gave this funky yet dirty look and yelled back " NEVERRRRR" haha
Mike Rutjens She must feel about this song the way Radiohead feel about their megahit song "Creep."
I like her voice, but yes, it will never compare with her piano skills.
Bruh, she underrated.
Did she Singapore 'making my wat downdown' at 0:20 sounder kinds weird
This song made me fall in love with her music. But now that I'm familiar with most of her work this song is strangely enough not one of my favorites. Is that really weird?
is this country music? i am w8ing for your opinions!
makin my way Down toWn SiPpIn ThiS Yak
@Biskmut Same with me.
Anyone hearing this in August 2019?
how long have you been playing?
great song.
and it'd take her 10-11 days (non stop!) to walk a thousand miles.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
She seems mad at the beginning, like "why the hell am I on vh1, yuck."
Haha. Still a bad ass live performance though! :)
❤👍❤👽❤
haha anyone see that movie White Chicks?
why does it seem like she's rushing the song? it's like she can't wait to finish it.. :P
