Who is the Song "A Thousand Miles" Really About?

If I could fall into the sky, do you think time would pass us by? Penned by Vanessa Carlton, these lyrics have been permanently stuck in my head for the last 20 years. But who are these lyrics about? Let's do a deep dive to figure out if this song is about Glenn Howerton from Always Sunny, Anthony Mackie, or some other celebrity.

I clicked on this video thinking the D.E.N.N.I.S system was real

[@10KProductions]

who's to say it isn't

[@OustandingTv]

The implication got you 😂

_"How do you know? I love this song!"_ *~ Terry Crews (White Chicks, 2004)*

[@henrypeters5291]

I looked that up for the first time last night and I was dumbfounded.

[@Cratossama]

A thousand miles is obviously a diss song to Foolio and his crew

[@shadywiskerz]

Didn’t expect to find this cultured comment here 👌🏽

[@Ohmargod]

I love that song. It's such a great rock-ballad. What I really value highly is that the instrumental is not produced like most songs today, but real ass musicians played it in a studio. Just listen to those drums! There's no way that producers today would give that much love to drumming.

HE'S A FIVE STAR MAN

Thank you for this I just saw a tweet last week saying there was a non-zero chance this song was about Glenn Howerton lmao

[@10KProductions]

I was working on this video for link a month. Then I saw that tweet and thought "well now I have to fast track this video"

[@ilajoie3]

Let's not forget that in The D.E.N.N.I.S System episode of It's Always Sunny the pharmacist is played by Glenn's actual wife and there's a similarity between her and Vanessa

[@docjoe86]

I remember summer 2002. I remember every single store, radio station, or public space blasting this song out.

[@AWorldofKayos]

Another reason it does Point to it could be Glenn look up his dating history he dated Morena Baccarin during the first season of always sunny

[@jordansweet8054]

Dang! Stud!

[@RudieObias]

Well, Glenn Howerton is a five-star man! 😅

[@fojr0324]

Worth noting that the names Vanessa Carlton and Maureen Ponderosa have the same amount of syllables.

[@КГБКолДжорджКостанца]

The meme remixes of this song are hilarious

[@eyiss7236]

D.E.N.N.I.S. approved

[@10KProductions]

The system works

D emonstrating value by posting a great video.

About time I did something worthwhile

Not every song that is featured in a movie gets played in it's entirety twice and then again through the credits

[@SpellboundWolf]

A Thousand Miles is one of the very 1st KZbin videos I remember watching when I joined in 2006. I'm thrilled to know the video of this song was all real. That makes me incredibly happy because it's beautiful. Every so often, I return to that very same, specific upload & say "Hello, old friend" before I listen to it once more.

[@lugertelevisioncompany]

I spit my water when you said it came out 20 years ago

[@10KProductions]

Right?

[@JohnSmith-ph7dk]

Next up: what is the song 500 miles about?

[@fakename2956]

This has to mention “Who I Smoke” right?

[@Anonymous_Individual]

Now THIS is the bizarre stuff I watch at midnight. Jokes aside, I love this song so much.

[@10KProductions]

Welcome to it

[@jasonvaquero9739]

This is not a video subject I ever expected from this channel 😭

[@10KProductions]

Trying some new stuff

[@jasonvaquero9739]

Definitely not complaining! The video was great as always but we for sure gotta see more of that handsome dude at 8:30 👌🏻🤞🏻

[@10KProductions]

Nah that guy sucks

[@JeffyJ30]

Back when The always sunny podcast was first airing I had the opportunity to call in & they were asking people to give them a “hot take“… now I really wish I could’ve asked Glenn.

[@10KProductions]

Oh that would’ve been awesome haha

[@Nyjhaz]

Alright so I like astrology and I wanted to see which signs were compatible with Vanessa Carlton, who is a Leo sun, libra moon (fire, air signs) Glenn howerton is an Aries sun libra moon (fire, air) Jessica chastain is an Aries sun, Gemini moon (fire, air) Anthony Mackie is a libra sun Gemini moon (air, air) Wes Bentley is a Virgo sun, libra moon (earth, air) Alan tudyk is a Pisces sun, Scorpio moon (water, water) Fire signs are most compatible with fire and air, air the same. However, signs that are neighbors (like leo and Virgo) are also fairly compatible too. I can rule out Alan tudyk, give a nice maybe to Wes Bentley, but strong contenders to howerton, chastain and Mackey. Then again, astrology is just one similarity in a world that creates many, but i do find it interesting how 3/5 have the same elemental signs as Carlton.

Not gonna lie, when i playlisted video I was thinking about the proclaimers song, i liteeally just ignored the thumbnail lolol. I cant be the only one, but i promise I WILL.NOT go look before I post this commnet ctfu lmfao

[@thinktankstudios]

Now we just need Vanessa Carlton to show up on Always Sunny to say she wrote it about Dennis before he, I dunno, ran over her pet or something.

[@10KProductions]

She grew up not terribly far from Phili actually

I thought Vanessa was a big fan of the Scots music act the Proclaimers

[@richardk54]

Vanessa Carlton turned into Bebe Neuwirth, the aunt from Jumanji

[@markfigueroa1681]

Did she actually write the song though?

There are about to be 20,000-50,000 new views for 1,000 miles on youtube.

Are you going to do more song reviews like this because I kind of like it

[@10KProductions]

Maybe! This isn’t much of a review though

[@Beymaster20247]

Even though it’s still very interesting

[@genderneutral1977]

Thanks for this. Now whenever I hear A Thousand Miles I think of Glenn Howerton. And I like thinking about how dreamy Glenn Howerton must have been at age 21.

[@10KProductions]

If you watch That 80s Show, he’s not much older in that

[@aryamizrahi887]

“Here’s a picture of Vanessa Carlton” I knew what was coming 😂😂😂

Oh no
