Vanessa Carlton: “A Thousand Miles” City Winery Philadelphia, PA 3/3/23

[@caseysweat9449]

this song is a stroke of genius. possibly the most iconic piano riff of all time.

[@DannyHidalgo]

Can people please stop saying she hates singing this? Vanessa has talked so many times in recent years about how while it annoyed her for a long time, she's learned to appreciate this song and be grateful for all the opportunities that it has given her in her life. She sings it first because it's sonically very different than the music she makes now and doesn't really fit well with the vibe her current concerts, plus there are people in the audience who come just to hear that song, so she gets it out of the way first so the audience members who are only interested in hearing that can leave if they want right after, while the fans who are more interested in her full musical repertoire are now ready for the show to really begin after she plays this one, hence why she says "let's do this" after she finishes this song.

[@CircumlunarFeasibility]

I wouldnt have read this whole thing, but i like the name Hidalgo, so i did.

[@jorymil]

When you do something really well, you sort of become stuck to it, regardless if it still interests you. I find the first year or two of a job the most interesting for that reason. After that, if there's no continued growth, it's time to move on.

[@SydneyRichards]

Whoa I teared up in the middle. Something about it being nostalgic, and to hear her play it now with 20 years of life filtered through it, she sings it a little differently now. Man it really got me haha

[@jareddantzlier1561]

She’s amazing. Hope to see her one day. This song saved my marriage

[@manuelillescas9328]

She sounds amazing. I love the high notes at the end. Thanks for sharing

[@robwalton7749]

I love this song and I love Vanessa Carlton. Such an amazingly talented songwriter, pianist and singer.

[@Daniel-eu6sc]

I saw her in the Atlanta stop of this tour, it was an amazing set. The depth of sound they could get out of just a piano and cello was impressive.

[@louierod81]

This song touches my soul!

[@thucydides7849]

She’ll be remembered forever for this song. I understand why she’s displeased with this fact, but people really do love this song.

[@k.s.nichols4060]

She sounds amazing. I hope she is okay crutches-wise.

[@ANDY-we7mr]

Brilliant song 🎵 👌 😊

[@calni7231]

Nobody will ever understand how hard it is to play a piano and sing at the same time.

[@Enkaybe]

Thisssss!!😂 Just singing alone is hard, but imagine trying to focus on hitting the right notes perfectly whilst playing, now that’s another level of difficulty 😂

[@RJ-sy4yh]

You must‘ve never made it past 6 months.

[@tealover70]

You have to be kidding LOL

[@calni7231]

@@tealover70 why would I be kidding? You say that like everyone plays piano and sings at the same time in the same way that everyone breathes air or blinks their eyes? Playing music and singing are talents on their own, MUCH LESS being done simultaneously. If you sing and play the piano at the same time so easily, lemme know what your stage name is and what venue you’re playing at this year. I’ll buy a ticket.

[@tealover70]

@@calni7231 It’s not that hard to do at all, you don’t even have to practice.

[@mercedespeluffo4978]

What a great piano riff, and what a beautiful and representative lyrics: I would walk a thousand miles if I could see you, if I could hold you tonight

[@itsianwood]

So beautiful!

[@m-d-xiii9108]

She’s still pretty and her voice is gold ❤

[@brianchapman2708]

Vanessa Loves this song she loves playing it , I talked to her 2017 she is badass and Loving , Love this song and Love You!!!!!!!!

[@amb7440]

Wow so good!!! She is awesome!

[@basslogic6385]

Hi Vanessa, I didn't know that you hurt your foot. I hope that it is okay. I'm just seeing this video now. Your voice is so beautiful. You have a very beautiful smile as well. I like to see you happy. Thank you for creating this video of your concert!

[@seangorman1884]

Her voice is so velvety and soft. Just beautiful

[@paulogovoni6622]

O tempo passou muito rápido . tudo de bom a todos !.

[@RokDAWG1]

I always wondered what happened to her. I’m glad she’s still playing. She sounds so good!

[@arycorvette884]

to much fun with BBC 😏

[@DavidWayneBroyles]

So great!

[@leecocks277]

It has an uncomercial touch....so much better.

[@ronmendoza1274]

The Vanessa Carlton I'll remember is the one in the 1000 Miles video when she was at babe. 😢😢😢😢

[@rogue1290]

Airport her voice has become more beautiful as she’s gotten older. It’s full and richer.

[@Schmidteren]

That was really good!

[@user-xt3ku8pe2p]

I liked this song from watching the movie White Chicks.

[@mattsicker]

thanks for uploading this! how long was the concert?

[@babylara4392]

It was only one song lol I'm assimin😅

[@Renekor]

@@babylara4392 cuanto le pagaron por una cancion?

[@chokichoki7133]

WoW... She always cute. proud of you

[@CruceEntertainment]

1 second ago She might be a one hit wonder, but this hit is a very very good one. What also blew people away is that the song writing was so mature for such a young person. It’s a gem. I’d say better than anything Taylor Swift ever wrote.

[@DennisCoffman-dd8ok]

I don't know. I mean, I'm not a Taylor Swift, but I did like her song "Carolina" from the movie Where the Crawdads Sing. Like everything, maybe dig a little deeper for an artist. True could be said of Vanessa Carlton as she has more than just one song as well.

[@cjgatmaitan5924]

ICONIC

[@ScarlettHarleyMadison]

Still wishing she performs this with Terry Crews man😀

[@seaberry_23]

This one hit wonder talk is ridiculous. She is insanely talented. Listen to Liberman and Love Is An Art. Vanessa is a brilliant songwriter and musician. She recently said she’s a terrible pop star. That’s just not who she is. The way she performs the song here is real and beautiful. That’s exactly who she is. I didn’t realize how underrated she was until reading these comments.

[@lelandsklar6363]

I loved recording this with Vanessa.

[@Karabekian01]

Watched your play through video just the other day :) Thanks for your contribution to this gem, sir!

[@rodolfooliveira8886]

Incrível

[@stephengiese7549]

When you have a massive hit like this, you should expect to have to sing it for your fans and be very grateful for that! You may be a one hit wonder! There are lots of them out there!😮

Damn!! This is soo much better

[@deanesposito4708]

Saw her in Dallas and was actually late so i missed this song and the 2 friends I brought only came to hear this song and we were so upset lol, but then i got to say hello to her and get her autograph after the show so i was satisfied anyway

[@c.anderson3444]

nice voice

[@stanbalo]

She hates this song so much and it is evident in her demeanor but to be honest she should be very proud of it. It is a classic and touched so many people worldwide and still loved after all these years. It is also her life insurance with the royalties

[@lavishsavage6743]

Man shut up before you run it for me lmao 😂😂

[@jessegpresley]

No she don't, watch the documentary.

[@stanbalo]

@@jessegpresley if you watched, her mom loves the song and she is saying that bec she knows Vanessa hates it for a reason. She hates it bec it did not give her a chance to have another hit song..like in actors, they cannot play any role anymore bec they are pinned by the audience to one super successful role.

[@jessegpresley]

​@@stanbalolol no.

[@stanbalo]

@VonHohenstaufen i would say a one hit album wonder. But this song is a 100/100!

[@loutiscrive]

outstanding

[@jayspadafore]

I like how she gave the violinist the signal. *Nods* "ALright" We're dropping the nuke.

[@brunoschneider9812]

Why are people saying she hates the song?

[@Ophelia11]

With a broken foot and all. What a consummate professional.

[@truesonic669]

2002 back in the day

[@ronmendoza1274]

Her remake of 1000 Miles is making the rounds on the radio. It's a dance themed remake. Ehh, it's sounds OK.

[@jmiller05]

Being a one hit wonder is no bad thing. I mean, some artists can perform for 30 years and never even have one hit.

[@Zoltan_Matravolgyi]

She's not a "one hit wonder" She has so many great song!!

[@matthewmcalister2165]

Well technically she did have two hits, with “Ordinary Day” but this was her only mega hit worldwide

[@mickaybello9466]

White Houses, Ordinary Day and Pretty Baby is also good song of Vanessa, its popular here in Philippines.
