"A Thousand Miles" (originally titled "Interlude") is the debut single of American pop singer Vanessa Carlton. Written by Carlton, the song was released as the lead single for her first album, Be Not Nobody (2002). First released to US radio in February 2002, it became Carlton's biggest hit in the United States and her only single to reach the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number five. The song also experienced commercial success worldwide, reaching number one in Australia, number three in Ireland, and the top 10 in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. She has described the song as "a combination of reality and fantasy. It's about a love that so consumes you that you do anything for it. That's how I felt at that time." "A Thousand Miles" won in the Can't Get You Out of My Head category at the VH1 Big in 2002 Awards, and it was nominated for three Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s), missing out in each category. The song made its way onto the 'Legally Blonde' soundtrack, giving it further worldwide exposure. This arrangement for concert band (shifted into the more band-friendly key of B flat) has been made as part of an ongoing project to bring more music by women into the worldwide repertoire. #arrangemegoals2023.
