“A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton (f/ Eric Taft)

Whether you were rockin’ out to it in 2002 or watching Terry Crews sing every word to it a few years later, Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” is a song that can stir up a lot of feelings and emotions for those who lived it. Even though the song’s earnest delivery and theater-kid presentation SHOULD make it an artifact from the turn of the century, there’s something special about it that keeps it relevant decades later. This week, we’re joined by return guest Eric Taft to dive into the career and back catalog of Vanessa Carlton to decide if we should make our way downtown to pick up all her records or run a thousand miles away from her music.
