I have no idea who Teddy Swims is, but I enjoyed that a lot more than I thought I would.
Teddy’s voice is actually amazing if that was purely live.
I was never a Vanessa Carlton fan in the 2000s, but this song is too freaking iconic to not vibe to.
And I was pleasantly surprised by this rendition of it.

Would it be a blessing or a curse to be famous for only one of your songs ? Do you get tired of performing it so many times ? I’d imagine it’s a strange kind of success.

The rappers behind “Who I Smoke” received criticism due to its sampling of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles”, after which Carlton responded with a statement reading: “To the white folks that have expressed anger/shock over my approval of A Thousand Miles’ usage in the [Spinabenz, Whoppa Wit Da Choppa, Yungeen Ace, & FastMoney Goon song Who I Smoke](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFfGgeddAc4), I invite you to ask yourself why you feel this way & then read this.” Along with her statement, Carlton attached the McNair Scholars Research Journal article *Share Cropping Blackness: White Supremacy and the Hyper-Consumption of Black Popular Culture*.”

Truly the unassuming song of a generation.

She is married to the lead singer of one my favorite bands, Deer Tick. John McCauley and other bandmates are so talented. They even have a song with Vanessa called “In Our Time.” It’s wonderful.

I’ve heard Teddy Swim’s name before but never looked into him. This is enough for me to at least check out his music now, so that’s cool. Vanessa gave it great and I decry others to sing the same song for 20 years better.

Talk about bringing out a crowd pleaser! I will never not be hype for this song.

I am once again asking you (general ‘you’) to watch the Vice feature [“The Story of A Thousand Miles”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GLO_57IV6Zc&pp=ygUgdmFuZXNzYSBjYXJsdG9uIGEgdGhvdXNhbmQgbWlsZXM%3D), it’s so fascinating.
