Music video by Vanessa Carlton performing Ordinary Day. (C) 2002 Interscope Geffen (A&M) Records A Division of UMG Recordings Inc. (c) 2002 A&M Records
I saw a comment on here that said “I miss the 90’s”. The irony is that this is from 2002. And hence proves my theory that the 90’s didn’t end until 2007.
It actually did when it released it, the video always played on MTV and was on TRL ..and the song was on heavy rotation on the radio....or you mean nowadays ?
Dear California Come Undone Fairweather Friend I like all of these more than A Thousand Miles also. She has so many amazing songs. Sadly her latest album was a disappointment for me.
you should check out the demos of her songs, a lot of demos from her first album including the demo of "a thousand miles" from the VICE interview as well as "ordinary day" (titled "divide and conquered") leaked on youtube several years ago
Can we just talk about the talent in this song for a moment? The poetry in the lyrics, the melody in the vocalist and the absolute grace and class in the instrumentalists?
Every one of Vanessa's songs give me a feeling almost like heartbreak. Like a window looking at a life that can't ever be had again. I guess you could call it bittersweet nostalgia. But no other artist gives me this feeling as intensely as she does.
@@zenhalimana czcams.com/video/ttviqvfTBTg/video.html you and me, we SHALL BE JUDGED. Therefore, let me ask a little: which ones your actions and thoughts are? - evil or good? 1776 - 2022 = 246 1776 - 2076 = 300 We have lived under the freemasons tryanny, oh perdon, i mean, under their rulership close to 300 years. Sadly much anough to forget all, that was before „they” took everything under their control and keep it that way, that long. 246 years of lifetimes, under the „power” of evil. And we dream of a good lives to live. How come we can do it under the rulership of the wicked? !go and find a job! = !go and find a enslavement!. And we, humans, find it a problem, that we were slaves generations back. The reasons it ain´t a problem now? For we, humans, being slaves, haven`t changed. WE ARE ALL STILL SLAVES! This haven´t changed. Now, can you, a reader of my writtings can you explain: why are we still slaves?, when the matter of fact, it is already proven, that EVERLASTING IS FREE: - WATER, - FOOD, - ELECTRICITY, - LAND. Who find it`s unbenefits them, if we are truly FREED? - freemasons.
@@grindfreakmike5754 Climete change? - well, the BIBLE dose speak about earthquakes on place never before seen. And the book of REVELATION: whole world shall be burned away. So, dose climete change? - not really - it`s just getting more extreme. Why? - because the evil we do thorugh evil, we make GOD angry and now it`s time given to enjoy GOD`S anger towards us, wicked souls of humans, who are like thier father, the devil, and therefore are busy to Kill - DESTROIY AND STEAL. Who and how many amongst us "wake up" from their slumber and see and hear and realize: WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
You're absolutely right. Every time i listen to her songs and some of the other music in the early 2000's it just gives me a sense of peace and simpleness that can never be had. It somewhat equates to feeling of contentment that grounds you. And I absolutely love it.
I hear this almost every day working at Walgreens. It’s a bright spot in my day in between getting yelled at over Adderall and oxycodone prescriptions.
"But he was looking into the sky"....and "if I could fall into the sky"....2 songs that Vanessa Carlton ends with the word "sky" and those songs are just absolutely amazing and beautiful! 🥰🥰
I was born in 2000, and I realized this is the song that my mom used to listen when I was kid. I finally found it. Her music and song are very relaxing. Plus, she looks naturally pretty, no plastic surgery marks that celebrities have nowadays. I wish she'll make a comeback soon and her songs are available in my country. Send love from Korea 🇰🇷❤️
@@JohnDavis-xk5fiI'm sure you're joking but no they're not the same they are 2 very different people. Personally I like Vanessa Carlton more I had a crush on her for years. I like Michelle Branch to tho she's a doll for sure.
This song and this video are very special to me. When I was a child my father gave me an MP4 as a Xmas gift and had this videoclip in it... it's been 9 years since my father left, but this is one of the best memories I have of him and my childhood and I am very grateful for being able to remember that.
I was 9 years old and I remember crying the first time I listened to this song. I used my allowance money to buy the CD. I still have the same CD I bought 18 years ago. This whole album, especially this song, helped me get through a rough time in my life when I was a kid. It holds a special place in my heart.
Just a day Just an ordinary day Just trying to get by Just a boy Just an ordinary boy But he was looking to the sky And as he asked if I would come along I started to realize That everyday he finds Just what he's looking for Like a shooting star he shines He said take my hand Live while you can Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words Although they did not feel For I felt what I had not felt before And you'd swear those words could heal And as I looked up into those eyes His vision borrows mine And I know he's no stranger For I feel I've held him for all of time And he said take my hand Live while you can Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand In the palm of your hand Please come with me See what I see Touch the stars for time will not flee Time will not flee Can you see? Just a dream, just an ordinary dream As I wake in bed And the boy, that ordinary boy Or was it all in my head? Did he ask if I would come along It all seemed so real But as I looked to the door I saw that boy standing there with a deal And he said take my hand Live while you can Don't you see all your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand In the palm of your hand In the palm of your hand Just a day, just an ordinary day Just trying to get by Just a boy Just an ordinary boy But he was looking to the sky
There was something so enchanting about the atmosphere back then. It’s like people were more intentional to take time to be in the moment! People are probably going to say “wish I could go back” but instead let’s cultivate that atmosphere again that would be pretty dope!
I wish that was possible. It's too late. The digital age ruined everything. It's a natural but sad evolution. We are more connected yet disconnected than ever. I literally have 0 friends and I'm watching this at 5am crying my eyes out. It can never be the same.
Rebecca Sarrazin no friends? Gee I’m so sorry…. What you say holds truth, but better times are ahead I do believe! I would say that the most beautifully moving and unifying time to live in America was after WWII, the 70s and the 90s up to the early 2000s for many reasons… but in my opinion the most enchanting time to live is when Christ came and yet he’s coming back! On earth we see beauty through brokenness. It’s because of hard times that we realize we need something more and better and bigger than ourselves. Anyways I don’t wanna patronize or sound too much like a geek so imma dip out. Believe what you will and to each there own… but please keep an open mind and a steady heart and also do not lose hope! 🤘🏾🤠
This hits me different. I picture an ordinary day when this came out. That involved time spent with my mom, conversation with my dad. Maybe an activity with them or friends. The significance to me is back then it was a boring ordinary day doing those things. Now with my parents dead, and my friends and I distant. That ordinary day is nothing more than a memory. Appreciate your ordinary days, I was sad typing this but am now back to the present. Because an ordinary day with my toddler will someday, be like those memories with parents and friends.
Her vocal range completely blows my mind, especially when she can bring that tone of voice like at 3:14. I can hit that sort of deep, all encompassing note, but it sounds bad and it’s so difficult for it to sound normal, and she can not only make it sound good, but work it so well into the song. She’s such a talented songwriter, singer, and pianist
Yeah this is a deceptively complex vocal. I don't know why Olivia Rodrigo popped into my head but it's kind of like her vocal on "Driver's License". Like, vocally she's doing more than it may seem.
@@sethbrolsma516 I always has thought that Vanessa is an artist advanced in time, because many of the elements she used to create her music were popular until many years after she released her albums, so it's pity she couldn't get recognition for it
Am I the only one who thinks that life was way better in the 90s? Great music, not a lot of depressing shit on the telly, people actually go out and talk to each other, laughter of kids playing in parks. What happened to us?
ya but in south east asia, the 90s in america didn't come until the dawn of the 2000s. so the music from 90s and 2000s were merged as just one full release.
2002... wow. I was 5 years old. 24 now. Grew up with this song. Didn't realize how old it was. Memories. I'll always remember hearing this song on the radio. Almost makes me want to cry.
So yesterday on 04/08/2024 I witnessed my first solar eclipse in totality then this video is in my recommended. It was a beautiful amazing thing to get to see!
I missed the totality, but did watch it allot online and in VR. Experience partial eclipse (99.9%)...it turns out that .1 % make all the difference between a great experience to an epic one.
I used to listen to this song on my way to work everyday when it was so challenging and tough. Her voice and all the choirs pushed my feet. I’m glad I kept challenging because I’m at the place I’ve never even dreamed of at that time. Thank you Vanessa. Let’s keep living ordinary days. They will turn into dream days.
Starting my day off right once again with this MOTIVATIONAL BANGER!! "Live while you can, don't you see your dreams lie in the palm of your hand" Life long Mantra
:/ me abstracting lyrics: thinking of that ratchet country hip hop video all like ,"I mean, if u tweak it, it really works..." "me moving on is that faith in me. Not that slick devil in u." -some random Instagram post that I'm sure I butchered. I need to stop commenting so much on yt. I'm sure there's a ridiculous amount of embrassing crap that idk. But I'm sure it's not that important
2024 and I'm STILL here. 😩🤞🏾💞🤞🏾A NOSTALGIC, TIMELESS, CLASSIC for sure!! This song was my shyt when it dropped. I fux wit her tha long way! 💯🤞🏾💯 MANNN, the early 2000s was a time to be alive. I remember watching this when it was in HEAVY rotation on MTV in the summer.
To this day I still cannot listen to this song or watch this video without breaking down in tears. I was in college at a party school when it came out. I wanted nothing more than to finally find a girl who would love me or even like me for the first time. I fell for 2 different women freshman year who both only wanted to be friends. I pursued many other women at all different parties and places and always felt them kind of pulling away or cringing whenever I flirted. Whenever I didn't flirt, they were always too happy to treat me politely and platonically. The guys who were getting dates and getting laid continually told me I was being too nice, too respectful and not enough of an asshole and that I cared too much. But I realize now that the reason this song affects me so much is that the video was like a microcosm of my whole college experience. I was on that hillside alone with those couples all laying together for 4 years while Vanessa spun this beautiful yarn of a romantic tale celebrating life and love in this full brilliant richness and I had to just take it with no escape while no one would lay with me. I felt like the only one on the hill going through this exact issue. Since college I've moved on, I've experienced love in brief, fractured, fleeting forms but at least I broke the spell so to speak. I am grateful for that. But this song takes me to an incredibly heartbroken place from my past in spite of how beautiful and life affirming an experience it is to look at. It sort of permanently immortalizes that pain and tucks it away in a file cabinet. If I pull it out now and listen again, I find that all that pain from 2001-05 is still remarkably well-preserved. For those who are going to come at me with incel comments, I never wished harm upon anyone who ever rejected me. I hope that those who do have that issue find help before they seriously harm anyone else or themselves. I wish I could personally talk them all out of such things myself because I feel like I've been where a lot of them have been. I just badly wanted to feel loved or at least wanted at a time where everyone around me seemed to be finding it. And Vanessa Carlton who I respect immensely, was NOT helping the situation with this song! But I suppose, if it makes you feel something that strong either way, that's how you know it's art.
Wow. I just watched the Die Dinosaur video and then I ended up over here in the comments section, reading what you wrote a year ago. That was very beautiful. I can tell you have an amazing heart. I hope you are doing well
This is still one of my favorite songs because it taps into the joy in my heart and the positive visions, thoughts, and ideas I’ve had about love and life. I love a full orchestra backing a pop song.
Man music hit differently in the 90s, 2000s and 2010s they’d drop a new songs with the video on TV not online and the creativity had to be on point for people to talk about it
music does really bring you back to those days... holy fucking shit i really miss it I hate today's society!! it just sucks compared to the early 2000s when everyone was all about that life Now everything is all about "swag" and shit, this society sucks
I have such a deep, spiritual connection to this song. When I listen to this song, I think of the boy who asked me out in middle school that I turned down. I actually was into him, but I turned him down because I was scared. I regret it a lot. :(
Daaaaaamn, I haven't heard this song in years! I used to love listening to this on the radio. Maybe a little cutesy, but it just had a genuine feel good vibe to it. Vanessa Carleton, as well as Michelle Branch were a few of the first artists I really got into listening at the time, and their music was something special.
We now live in a post bieber selena taylor time. But this was the era my childhood when music was at it´s best. When you used bluetooth to send songs and myspace was the shit.
Myspace's era was during my elementary/ middle school days. I remember that some kid named Ollie had an account and we all thought he was so cool because our parents wouldn't let us have our own social media accounts. I miss those days. (Early 2000's) Especially the music. Britney Spears was my favorite but my parents wouldn't let me listen to her music after she went batshit crazy and shaved her head...
Maybe it means the Rapture of the Church will happen during the April 8 eclipse. Jesus is the Only Way, the Truth and the Life! Romans 10:9-10 KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth that Jesus is Lord and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raise Him from the dead- Thou shalt be saved!🙏
This was track 1 and the 2nd single from Vanessa's 1st album "Be Not Nobody" and was the 2nd song I learned by this amazing singer, songwriter, and musician and is my favorite, Vanessa Carlton, you rock! This is a real 2002 love song right here. This was also track 10 from the "Now That's What I Call Music! 11" CD.
Gosh!! These times were magical! The 90's! Something about those times. Each time I listen to songs like these, I get taken to this beautiful, magic place.
I no longer sub for spotify since I'm only reporting to office twice a week. Tonight when I was on my way home, this song came up on the radio. I don't even remember the whole lyrics and title. The moment I came home, I search for this immediately. The feeling I got when I finally found this, it's like a truck of nostalgia and childhood memories hit me.
Every tiny phrase blows me away. Between her gorgeous piano playing and the amazing lilt in her voice, the simple but true words and how she brings them all together and carries me away.
April 8th 2024~ Watching this incredible eclipse with this song in the background. After loving the song and eclipsed themed video over the years, seemed so fitting.
Im glad you made this song. You are letting us know that you, have walked away from the Devil. God, The Great I AM, THAT I AM has your life and you showed us what the Spiritual world and its Great Talents has to PRAiSE The Most Higg
Never heard this song until today..yes it’s a beautiful song and she has a angelic voice ..flawless ! crazy these jewels are buried it’s too pure for them
Actually loved this song more than her most famous hit. This song doesn't get enough love...she never got enough love! I remember her signing with Irv Gotti and the Inc. in '06 proving that conventional pop labels didn't appreciate her enough....she really deserved more!
My brother met his wife on the set of this music video, they were both extras and were paired randomly by a production assistant. Crazy world.
Live Till I Die Funny how things work out like that
Live Till I Die romantic!!!😩❤️
They hated being extras and everything about the video but they found each other lol
OMG😍👌 Now I BELIEVE in TRUE LOVE again💙😂
Live Till I Die the music brought them together
To whoever is listening to this song now, wherever you are... Sending you love, peace, healing and all good wishes. May your life be good.
Thank you, I wish you a long, healthy, beautiful life. God bless
Thank you me here, I love her voice and words
From your mouth to Gd's ear! I mean, thank you! ❤️🙏
back at you. :)
Thank u so much ....same to u .

yeah, late 90's and early 20's are the best
@@macm8c795 If u think the 90's and early 00's were the best??? Then u musta missed the 80's. 🤔 Now, THAT was a decade!!!!
@@DrDIY1 Hairmetal, cocaine and The U...the 80's were one hell of an era to live through.
The 90s ended on September 11th, 2001...
I agree I was born 2004 and I know the last phase of the 90,s was about 2007 or 2009
This message is for Vanessa Carlton,
Please come back and make songs again!!! Your music, words, and innocence is what this world is lacking
It's a damn shame this song didn't get more recognition. Definitely a favorite of mine.
Same! This song is better than ATM
It actually did when it released it, the video always played on MTV and was on TRL ..and the song was on heavy rotation on the radio....or you mean nowadays ?

Both r good but Ordinary day is Heavenly Music.
Both are deadly as hell❤
wouldn't go that far but it's still pretty good.

Sorry about the loss of your dad. You have something great to remember him with

Me and my sisters were jamming to this on our boombox , in the car, and on our CD players this was life
I was 9 years old and I remember crying the first time I listened to this song. I used my allowance money to buy the CD. I still have the same CD I bought 18 years ago. This whole album, especially this song, helped me get through a rough time in my life when I was a kid. It holds a special place in my heart.
Lovely story. Blessings!

Just a day
Just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy
Just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday he finds
Just what he's looking for
Like a shooting star he shines
He said take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger
For I feel I've held him for all of time
And he said take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand
Please come with me
See what I see
Touch the stars for time will not flee
Time will not flee
Can you see?
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
Or was it all in my head?
Did he ask if I would come along
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy standing there with a deal
And he said take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you see all your dreams lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy
Just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky

@@sethbrolsma516 I always has thought that Vanessa is an artist advanced in time, because many of the elements she used to create her music were popular until many years after she released her albums, so it's pity she couldn't get recognition for it
Am I the only one who thinks that life was way better in the 90s?
Great music, not a lot of depressing shit on the telly, people actually go out and talk to each other, laughter of kids playing in parks. What happened to us?
social media, reality tv, all the hidden stuff going on the world came to light with the increased technology so more depressing news.
i kinda wish things were back where it was in the 90s. I won't mind being a hippie who smokes pot every day.
Nothing happened, its still going on while your negative ass is commenting about it on videos.
+Kael Molo The 90s were my favorite time period, but it is not relevant to Vanessa Carlton. This song did not come out until April 2002.
ya but in south east asia, the 90s in america didn't come until the dawn of the 2000s. so the music from 90s and 2000s were merged as just one full release.
2002... wow. I was 5 years old. 24 now. Grew up with this song. Didn't realize how old it was. Memories. I'll always remember hearing this song on the radio. Almost makes me want to cry.
same here pretty much with the exception of 23 instead of 24 but yea .. time flies
Wait until you’re forty. The nostalgia gets stronger and stronger. Hang on to youth while you can…
Damn I’m in trouble if people think a song in 2002 is old…
I was born in early 2002
How wasnt this a bigger song? Its like the perfect early 2000s song. I think a thousand miles became a blessing & a curse for her.
Yeah
Early 2000s... What a time to be alive 💙 yes we were younger back then but the world has gone depressed since then
Don't worry too much. We're living in the dust and ashes this year, but oppotunities to rise like phoenix are on the horizon :)
Trust me, people were depressed in 2002 as well.
Today is *always* the best day to be alive IMO 🙏
wtf you just made lotsa ppl viewing this comment depressed lol
I’m sure the world was physically brighter back then
@@draculasdaughter36 No, trust ME: we are in the darkest era of humanity, technocracy, corruption are at their peak.
2020 and I'm still here amazed at how hooked this song has got me.
Me too
@Benny Dexta Same here too.
Same here!
Her Voice bruh...WOW
Right? And why do I remember every word !
So yesterday on 04/08/2024 I witnessed my first solar eclipse in totality then this video is in my recommended. It was a beautiful amazing thing to get to see!
Right. It was amazing being in totality. Lasted not long enough... once in a lifetime, especially if 100% blockage. Cheers🎉
I missed the totality, but did watch it allot online and in VR. Experience partial eclipse (99.9%)...it turns out that .1 % make all the difference between a great experience to an epic one.
I used to listen to this song on my way to work everyday when it was so challenging and tough. Her voice and all the choirs pushed my feet. I’m glad I kept challenging because I’m at the place I’ve never even dreamed of at that time. Thank you Vanessa. Let’s keep living ordinary days. They will turn into dream days.
Wonderful and beautiful solar eclipse in north America, today April 8th 2024, brought to my mind this wonderful and beautiful song and awesome video.
Starting my day off right once again with this MOTIVATIONAL BANGER!! "Live while you can, don't you see your dreams lie in the palm of your hand" Life long Mantra
vanessa carlton , amy lee, hayley williams, avril lavigne left their mark. They were a major impact on my musical career. grateful for them
and Michelle Branch
Bro just named the best artists
+Pink
she does that "shoulder shrug" thing perfectly
I love how she constructs the narrative throughout the song. I'm always amazed by that everytime I listen to it since its release.
:/ me abstracting lyrics: thinking of that ratchet country hip hop video all like ,"I mean, if u tweak it, it really works..." "me moving on is that faith in me. Not that slick devil in u." -some random Instagram post that I'm sure I butchered. I need to stop commenting so much on yt. I'm sure there's a ridiculous amount of embrassing crap that idk. But I'm sure it's not that important
holy crap, one of my old teachers used to play this in class while we worked. i've been trying to find this song ever since
damn, it's been years
2024 and I'm STILL here.
😩🤞🏾💞🤞🏾A NOSTALGIC, TIMELESS, CLASSIC for sure!!
This song was my shyt when it dropped. I fux wit her tha long way! 💯🤞🏾💯 MANNN, the early 2000s was a time to be alive.
I remember watching this when it was in HEAVY rotation on MTV in the summer.
To this day I still cannot listen to this song or watch this video without breaking down in tears. I was in college at a party school when it came out. I wanted nothing more than to finally find a girl who would love me or even like me for the first time. I fell for 2 different women freshman year who both only wanted to be friends. I pursued many other women at all different parties and places and always felt them kind of pulling away or cringing whenever I flirted. Whenever I didn't flirt, they were always too happy to treat me politely and platonically. The guys who were getting dates and getting laid continually told me I was being too nice, too respectful and not enough of an asshole and that I cared too much. But I realize now that the reason this song affects me so much is that the video was like a microcosm of my whole college experience. I was on that hillside alone with those couples all laying together for 4 years while Vanessa spun this beautiful yarn of a romantic tale celebrating life and love in this full brilliant richness and I had to just take it with no escape while no one would lay with me. I felt like the only one on the hill going through this exact issue.
Since college I've moved on, I've experienced love in brief, fractured, fleeting forms but at least I broke the spell so to speak. I am grateful for that. But this song takes me to an incredibly heartbroken place from my past in spite of how beautiful and life affirming an experience it is to look at. It sort of permanently immortalizes that pain and tucks it away in a file cabinet. If I pull it out now and listen again, I find that all that pain from 2001-05 is still remarkably well-preserved.
For those who are going to come at me with incel comments, I never wished harm upon anyone who ever rejected me. I hope that those who do have that issue find help before they seriously harm anyone else or themselves. I wish I could personally talk them all out of such things myself because I feel like I've been where a lot of them have been. I just badly wanted to feel loved or at least wanted at a time where everyone around me seemed to be finding it. And Vanessa Carlton who I respect immensely, was NOT helping the situation with this song! But I suppose, if it makes you feel something that strong either way, that's how you know it's art.
Wow. I just watched the Die Dinosaur video and then I ended up over here in the comments section, reading what you wrote a year ago. That was very beautiful. I can tell you have an amazing heart. I hope you are doing well
You have a beautiful soul
That’s exactly how feel I can totally relate to you
This is still one of my favorite songs because it taps into the joy in my heart and the positive visions, thoughts, and ideas I’ve had about love and life. I love a full orchestra backing a pop song.
why cant music videos now a days be simple, chilled and beautiful like this?
Hats off to your comment brother, atleast there are some people out there like u and me lol
adisema lomaloma Yes. Keeping your clothes on too
Eminem's videos have always been kinda simple...funny, ingenious and beautiful and also awesome...he was releasing his best work around early 2000s
Rohite ® yeah agree with you man. this kind of "simplicity" is so rare nowadays. dont even get me started on the song ...
Rohite ® all of them are busy twerking now a days -_-
Man music hit differently in the 90s, 2000s and 2010s they’d drop a new songs with the video on TV not online and the creativity had to be on point for people to talk about it
music does really bring you back to those days... holy fucking shit i really miss it
I hate today's society!! it just sucks compared to the early 2000s when everyone was all about that life
Now everything is all about "swag" and shit, this society sucks
This CD and The Bourne Identity DVD in hand, in line at Tower Records =my early 2000’s.
Saw my first eclipse today, I told myself if I ever see one I’ll watch this music video again lol
"If they dont get rid of him, im gone. If hes still here it shows they dont care about us." Real shit James. Real shit.
The first day I heard this song, I fell in love with the song.
This is 2024, and I'm still loving the song.
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
I have such a deep, spiritual connection to this song. When I listen to this song, I think of the boy who asked me out in middle school that I turned down. I actually was into him, but I turned him down because I was scared. I regret it a lot. :(
:(
@@jaconova Thank you.
If you grew up on this kind of music, THEN YOUR CHILDHOOD WAS AWESOME!
Wow! 22 years have passed, it feels like yesterday.
The ordinary boy is now an ordinary man but he is still looking to the sky. 😊
reminds me how lovable was to be inloved during early 2000s
yep too bad im still a kid, you know kids those days doesn't care much about boys unlike now lol
Aside from the whole war going on thing.
what
So true ❤️
98-2008 👍
Daaaaaamn, I haven't heard this song in years!
I used to love listening to this on the radio.
Maybe a little cutesy, but it just had a genuine feel good vibe to it.
Vanessa Carleton, as well as Michelle Branch were a few of the first artists I really got into listening at the time, and their music was something special.
In 2003 i was addicted to this song ♡
MissPopeyes22 I was addicted to her then and I still am today lol
01.08.2023
I'm leaving this comment here in hope that whenever someone likes it, I'll be reminded of this masterpiece.
We now live in a post bieber selena taylor time. But this was the era my childhood when music was at it´s best. When you used bluetooth to send songs and myspace was the shit.
YASS 😂
yeah I hate those artists
I don't remember MySpace cause I didn't pay attention to technology
but things changed
Myspace's era was during my elementary/ middle school days. I remember that some kid named Ollie had an account and we all thought he was so cool because our parents wouldn't let us have our own social media accounts. I miss those days. (Early 2000's) Especially the music. Britney Spears was my favorite but my parents wouldn't let me listen to her music after she went batshit crazy and shaved her head...
Pinketuzz Taylor started on Myspace
My theme song when I was 13.! I had her CD!, played it all the time. ...I love how no matter the setting , her piano was always there ❤
❤❤
I never realized the meaning of this song until today. Thank you God! 🙏🤲
What is it to you?
Maybe it means the Rapture of the Church will happen during the April 8 eclipse. Jesus is the Only Way, the Truth and the Life! Romans 10:9-10 KJV That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth that Jesus is Lord and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raise Him from the dead- Thou shalt be saved!🙏
Her music is just pure beauty! And she wrote it herself at the age of 17!
Yep
OMG THE ICONIC PIANO FROM A THOUSAND MILES YAAASS
I always thought of Vanessa as a lyric genious, her songs are just perfection
Some music is truly timeless vanessa carlton truly has some magic In her writing and voice
a part of my childhood. a great storyteller. Who's still listening in 2023?
Me 🎉
Everyone
WHY IS SHE UNDERRATED, THIS SONG MADE MY LIFE
This was track 1 and the 2nd single from Vanessa's 1st album "Be Not Nobody" and was the 2nd song I learned by this amazing singer, songwriter, and musician and is my favorite, Vanessa Carlton, you rock! This is a real 2002 love song right here. This was also track 10 from the "Now That's What I Call Music! 11" CD.
are you that same guy who commented on the coldplay video?!!!
or what ever video it was, your the guy who said "people say I know my music" or something like that
Yes, I am that guy!
ha knew it
I kind of had a feeling
Sia, Vanessa Carlton, and Regina Spektor are great storytellers using their music. These are true artists. Mad respect for them.
I forgot about regina spektor she was awesome
I love this video the story of young witch sacrificing lovers to the Sun and Moon under a eclipse!
I came here just to hit the like button on all her songs again. She got me through some hard times in decades past. Thank you forever Vanessa.
Gosh!! These times were magical! The 90's! Something about those times. Each time I listen to songs like these, I get taken to this beautiful, magic place.
plot twist! it wasn't the 90's!
It was 2002 but it certainly had a 90's feel. It's all in the same realm.
genuinely good pop can be beautiful
I no longer sub for spotify since I'm only reporting to office twice a week. Tonight when I was on my way home, this song came up on the radio. I don't even remember the whole lyrics and title. The moment I came home, I search for this immediately. The feeling I got when I finally found this, it's like a truck of nostalgia and childhood memories hit me.
She got me through my pre-teens years, and it’s crazy how’s she’s guiding me through my adult years now
Every tiny phrase blows me away. Between her gorgeous piano playing and the amazing lilt in her voice, the simple but true words and how she brings them all together and carries me away.
I was so obsessed with this song at 12. I played it on repeat so much and it helped pull me back from depression and self harm so many times ❤️
April 8th 2024~ Watching this incredible eclipse with this song in the background. After loving the song and eclipsed themed video over the years, seemed so fitting.
pray that music goes this direction again. Melodies. Chords. Real musicians on real instruments. It was so nice.
It's not just music but a moment in our lives.😌
I heard this song while in Lowe’s… it literally stopped me in my tracks.
Went home and downloaded it, and I can’t imagine not ever hearing it.
Every person In the world should hear this and hug the person to your left and right so we can all meet in the middle :)
Im glad you made this song. You are letting us know that you, have walked away from the Devil. God, The Great I AM, THAT I AM has your life and you showed us what the Spiritual world and its Great Talents has to PRAiSE The Most Higg
Vanessa”s music and Voice Reminds me of Happy moments of The 90”s! A Special Time!❤️🔥✨✨✨
Never heard this song until today..yes it’s a beautiful song and she has a angelic voice ..flawless ! crazy these jewels are buried it’s too pure for them
My favorite song by Vanessa Carlton 💚
"Just trying to get by" 💚🌱🍃
Vanessa you're treasure! Your music moved me back to piano. I didn't play for ages but recently I do it regularly by practicing your tunes! Thank you
Awesome song and vid, sad that it never got attention like A Thousand Miles :(
Agree!!
Terry crews never sang it in a movie...
Thought i was the only one gets she's good
Sebizzar it still can share
Totally agree. This is my favourite song of hers.
Those were the best days of our lives and we just didn't know it💟
There’s always a chance to rewrite that narrative tomorrow!
WATCHING FROM FLORIDA. WOOT!!!!!! brings me right back to summer 2002!!!!
Ah... My old child hood song. I remember listening to this. I wish we could turn back time haha!
the 90's innocence feel with updated early 2000's look. Love it :)
There’s nothing 90s about this.
You don’t know 90s if you think this is “90s”
This girl knows how to do pop music right.
ikr
True
Actually loved this song more than her most famous hit. This song doesn't get enough love...she never got enough love! I remember her signing with Irv Gotti and the Inc. in '06 proving that conventional pop labels didn't appreciate her enough....she really deserved more!
Miss Carlton ; a very lovely young lady, very talented pianist , singer , and songwriter.
FACTS
May 24, 2020, and still crazy listening to this song, all over again.
Me too
its 2021 and still mesmerized by this song.
This song is absolutely beautiful, i dont understand why this song didnt get the popularity that a thousand miles have.
I love how she made a perfect pop song and never once had to resort to sex related topics
2020 and this song still isn’t old
Nah.. it’s up there with “classic rock”. But I mean that in the best way possible. Not old, but classic.
I love seeing a force of nature along with the most delightful song ever!!!!❤😘
Came back here cause there's a eclipse April 8th had to listen to a classic where will u be
