Song #390: "A Thousand Miles"--Vanessa Carlton (2002)

Not a bad debut single for a then 20-year old singer from Milford, Pennsylvania, who began writing the song four years earlier and then suffered from something I totally understand: writers block.

She had the piano riff, and more came several months later. And, in early 2002, we were all the beneficiary as it became her debut single, and her best charting single to date.

It's simply a beautiful song, capturing the essence of how one can truly miss someone even during the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The video helps, too.  I'll let it do the talking.  :)
