A Thousand MilesVanessa Carlton

Vanessa Carlton, an American singer, expresses tender, bittersweet longing through beautiful piano melodies.
Having grown up with classical music and studied at the Juilliard School, she fully showcases her talent in this gem of a love song.
Her clear, crystalline voice conveys the powerful determination to cross any distance just to see the one she loves, resonating deeply with the listener.
She made her debut in 2002 with the album “Be Not Nobody,” and this song became a massive hit, reaching No.
5 on the U.S.
charts.
It gained even more attention after being featured in a memorable scene in the 2004 film “White Chicks.” Especially during the May blues, when spirits tend to dip, this is a song that gives you the courage to look ahead and start walking forward while thinking of someone dear who’s far away.
The RollerBeady Eye

A fine song sung by vocalist Liam Gallagher—who broke the silence after Oasis split to form Beady Eye—with a surprisingly wistful, melancholic tone that defied most expectations.
Asked in an interview about the origin of the band’s name, Liam replied, “Because when records are lined up in alphabetical order, we’ll be next to the Beatles.”
Jackson CanneryBen Folds Five

They were a piano-centered three-piece band.
A guitarless style was a rare presence in the rock scene at the time.
The album featuring this track became a hit in Japan before their home country, partly thanks to the TV drama “Long Vacation.” The intense piano sound will blow your fatigue away!
No Distance Left To RunBlur

Included on the 1999 album “13.” Guitarist Graham Coxon, who by then had turned his attention from the already fading Britpop to the American music scene and alternative sounds, plays a laid-back, melancholic melody reminiscent of Neil Young.
PerfectFairground Attraction

The light, bouncy beat feels great! Eddi Reader’s straightforward vocals make you want to hum along before you know it.
The guitar solo in the interlude is cool, the bassline is interesting, and it’s a track you can listen to over and over without getting bored.
