❤️❤️❤️❤️👣 She is probably this 65 year olds favorite human, forget about vocalist. How strange that one of my heroes is a teenage girl from Norway! But it's so nonetheless. God bless you for your thoughtful words about this superb vocalist and kind, humble, empathetic human being. For me, she is already the GOAT. If I knew of her behavior, her charity, and her kindness, I would love her if she was a plumber. That she can sing directly to my heart is icing on the cake.❤
@@AdamStraughan ❤️😉 I really hope she can find a more broad acceptance with a younger audience because by the time she is thirty many of us will be gone.
I really like the way you reviewed this song.... all of it. I appreciate your calm clear and heartfelt energy and words! I love this song, the words, the melody, her very heartfelt voice and the lovely simplicity of her grandmother’s pictures with it, even the old movie effects seemed so right. It is a treasure. I keep hearing the words and melody in my head and on line changes: You’re a million miles away yet you’re deep in my heart! You asked if there was anyone else to review. I say there is one person who is so like Angelina in spirit and circumstances, and I want them to meet! Alma Deutscher is also dedicated to bringing more beauty and love into the world through her music. She also has a deep heart connection to music since she was tiny that makes people say she is a reincarnation of the greats of the past. Both have extremely supportive international families who have taken care to hold their children back from stardom through their tender years so they could have somewhat normal childhoods, while still supporting their child’s passion for their music. Angelina was born in Norway, January 2006 Alma was born in England, February 2005 Alma Deutscher (pronounced Doy-churr) is an extraordinary pianist, Violinist and composer of beautiful classical music. She has been lent a Stradivarius if that tells you anything! She hears music in her mind all the time and says people are a little bit confused when they believe classical should reflect the ugliness of the world. If the world is so ugly, why add to it is her sentiment. Her music is glorious, fun, and truly beautiful as Angelina‘s voice and singing and songs are truly beautiful. Here is one piano piece she composed at age six: ruclips.net/video/NCQhHKLKjXg/видео.html Here is one violin piece at nine years old: ruclips.net/video/St4czzKcROE/видео.html I see these two brillant loving young ladies as a treasure to the world and feel blessed that I can listen to their unique and beautiful music.
For those of you who would like to see Angelina singing this original of her in a studio recording venue and admire how tall she is in honor, glory and grace through sadness and enduring hope, go to AngelinaJordanVEVO. Merry Christmas to you and yours and may you have a healthy and fruitful 2021!
“He said I’m watching you from the moon I’m everywhere, see everything you do” This is a slight variation of what my older brother used to say to me many times as I was growing up. Since his passing in January this year I have been lost but since hearing these lyrics I know he is still looking out for me. Angelina you have no idea (or maybe you do) how much this means to me. I have been listening to music of all genres for the best part of 60 years and can truly say with all my heart there has never been a piece of music that has touched me as much as this one I’m actually weeping as I compose this. Thank you Angelina. Thank you Adam for your most heartfelt reaction to this epic song. Just one more thing. How is Angelina going to top this one.
Her voice, front and center. i love that her songs are all about her voice, instruments are secondary. she doesnt even need them really. i can just listen to her alone and that does it for me.
As usual, you never disappoint, Adam. Thanks for the wonderful reaction, certainly one of the most correct and thorough, you have well evaluated this wonderful work of Angelina. The lyrics are absolutely hers, they are so "made in Angelina", they contain her sensitivity, her family, her affections and his love and also touch our soul, making you think sweetly of someone you have lost. Angelina and grandma Mery are the beautiful great team of a fantastic inspired family. ❤️ ❤️ You can hear this song hundreds of times, I am on the right track to do it and I am touched every time ... and I love Grandma's drawings, they are so "fit" for Angelina's voice and story. Angelina's slow progress on the steps towards the moon is of infinite sweetness, for me it is a beautiful portrait of her 🤗
This is her second Grandfather that passed, and she dedicated the song to anybody who has lost a love one Thank you for your reaction, looking forword to the Shield, what is life and Oslo all Originals
The point is Adam, you are really one of the very best Reactors, and always worth listening to for your excellent analysis of Angelina particularly. Congrats and keep going.
Thank you Adam for this beautiful reaction. Angelina is true to herself. She dedicated this wonderful song to her grandfather and to everyone who has lost a loved one, I believe she has brought a lot of tears with this song lately.
When an artist, when a singer touches your heart, it's special. When the writer is expressing their feeling, many times we are able to identify and understand because we've been there, too. When this happens, the artist has accomplished did what he intended to do....
@@karolyn8644 Strength? I truly hope so, but her song choices are far from strong, Gloomy Sunday is the #1 song about suicide. Bohemian Rhapsody is about being put to death,,, I'm not saying she's weak, she just has a dark side.
@@karolyn8644 sorry Karolyn, you were talking about the dark side. Yes we do, even the ones that deny it have a dark side, even Pollyanna had a dark side.
By the time I have cruised to many if not all all of her Songs, interviews, documentary, homefamily videos and rehearsals that it seems that she has became as familiar as a good friend or family member by letting us in her personal life and letting us participate in the exiting journey she is undertaking, growing up to be the wonderful person she is. This song is one more personal invitation to us to take part of her intimate sentiments. This is so special especially because she is able to communicate so authentically through her music and lytics. apart from her great voice and skils.
A great reaction and a great first deliverable from the AJ/Republic (what will likely be) juggernaut! I am pleased that this original song from Angelina has both her distinctive vocal elements and sufficient "pop"-ish appeal that it will serve both Angelina's current fanbase as well as the new audience that Republic's efforts will begin to deliver. Second, it (as few others can do) shows she can pack an emotional wallop across deep and poignant lyrics and serves (as you alluded) as a sort of an anthem of loss for many during this crazy pandemic-affected year and beyond. A serious song by a serious artist. Third, it contains not a hint of any provocative presentation of Angelina to the world as many beginning artists are "encouraged" to do. Nothing but an appropriate still of her is in either official video. Well done by all. Thank you Angelina!
I love this song more and more every time I hear it, I lost my father when I was 13 and at first I did not feel sad it was almost like it was not real and then a couple days later it hit me like a ton of bricks, and recently my mom passed and this song brought those feelings back to the surface and to me that is what separates her from the rest of artists young or old is her ability to draw every intended emotion and message a song was meant to relay.
You nailed it in your comments Adam. In the American Songwriter interview Angelina revealed how she felt while recording this song. “When I was in the booth, while I was singing, my tears were running,” she says. “To be honest, it was like a feeling of relief that all my feelings were written down and I felt relieved.” That speaks volumes about Angelina’s ability to transfer her emotions to her audience, who in turn will feel the same. What a beautiful gift to anyone who has grieved for the loss of a loved one. Angelina is truly a gift to us all. Thanks for your reaction. This song was recorded before she signed with Republic according to Angelina. One of the producers played the song for Republic founder and CEO Monte Lipman, and that’s when he said he wanted to sign Angelina. Stargate, the producer duo (Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen) has produced or written for Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Lionel Richie, Wiz Khalifa, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Rita Ora, Normani, Mis-Teeq, Celine Dion, Blue, Janet Jackson, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Sam Smith, Mary J. Blige, Ne-Yo, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Pink, Sia, Whitney Houston, Nas, Chris Brown, Khalid, Charli XCX, Trey Songz and others. They have been nominated for 17 Grammy’s and won 4. Quite a famous list of artists and recognition, which now includes the future legend Angelina Jordan.
This song is near and dear to my heart. This song and many more became a tool to cope when i lost my brother and best friend. He died in christmas of 21. worst i have been trough 💔 Music became my tool and still is. Wonderful that music can be a comfort when you are in a tough time in life❣️🥰
Hi ... the song is getting better and better, the more often you hear it... and the emotions coming back every single time... I guess that's because it is so true and pure... it moves me... 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I have to agree with both of you. The first time I heard the song I was just worried that it would not live up to our high standards, and I was relieved. The second time, I started to bring the lyrics in tune with the melody, after the 5th time I started to become addicted - without really understanding why.... maybe the end with the very high notes wants you to have more, and the sudden end contributes to that.
Hi Adam!! Thanks for your excelent great react and comments as usual. I really enjoy your comments. This song should be a big success because she's giving a kind of gift to everyone (all of us) everywhere. Millions of people are feeling involved in this tribute of Angelina to her grandfather. Great song from a great angel sent to Earth to make us better anyhow. Thanks Angelina for your another musical gift. I'm sure there are a lot of tears falling worldwide.
CONGRATULATIONS I see you reached your goal! Glad to help you reach it. Thank you for the wonderful reactions and especially for this reaction to Million Miles ♥ This great grandmother enjoys you and am totally over the moon for Angelina Jordan.
Your are right it was for her grandpa but she also said it’s for anyone who’s lost a loved one she said on Instagram (I hope this song finds a place in your heart as it comes straight from mine) she did say when she was singing the song that tears were running down her face while she was singing the song This song was well worth waiting for it’s just amazing it’s just beautiful and perfect but we know that Angelina always delivers she never lets us down I’m nearly 68yrs old and I can’t think of any female singers that I’ve been so pashonet about like I am with Angelina I do have female singers that I really do love but none of them comes close to Angelina Great Reaction love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire 💖👼👼👸🏻👸🏻🦶😘XX
Outstanding reaction Adam! One commenter suggested that this song will become an "anthem" for this pandemic. And I agree. While the song is definitely cathartic for Angelina "when I was in the booth, while I was singing, my tears were running... it was like a feeling of relief that all my feelings were written down...”, also many people who have suffered unbearable loss will find the song and her performance a solace to their pain and anguish. I've listened to it more than 50 times now, and I find myself singing the words in my head---so beautiful and so touching. This is the fourth song that Angelina has written and performed, and I can see the progression in her poetic depth and acuity. And her voice is simply Magnificent! I have to remind myself that she is only 14 years old. She recently communicated with members of her patreon, and I can tell everyone that she is well and happy, and truly enjoying the entire process of producing all the songs on her new album. Thanks again Adam, for your thoughtful and informative reaction. 😊💕💕
I know it's strange to say about a song that is about loss, but it's catchy. It has nice variety and nice repetition. And now and then I am reminded just how much horsepower this girl has.
Angelina said, "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in you heart, as it comes straight from mine." I sincerely believe every word of that. The video graphics are definitely the work of grandma Mery, and compliment the lyrics perfectly. In a Interview Angelina, ''Jordan" said that while recording the song. “When I was in the booth, while I was singing, my tears were running,” she says. “To be honest, it was like a feeling of relief that all my feelings were written down and I felt relieved. “Million Miles” means a lot to me because it is relevant to these difficult times. I definitely want to share my love to everyone, and I hope that people can connect with it and relate to the story behind the song.” Adam Thanks for another great reaction and comments!!
Good morning, her and her grandpa had a strong bond also this song fits perfect for all the families that have lost to coronavirus in 2020, it's very emotional I am pleased about this song her first record will be a bit!! Thank you for showing and reacting!!!❗💜
Thank you, Adam, for yet another spectacular Angelina reaction. Wasn't that just stunning? When “Million Miles” came out on November 6th, I, like I’m sure many people , listened to it over and over, and was in awe of the power in the music, lyrics and artwork. The more I listened and watched, the more I wanted to find a way to make others aware of this masterpiece. I live in a large U. S. midwestern city that has four major hospital groups, 150 funeral homes and 25 hospice organizations. I drafted a cover letter and an information sheet about Angelina, the complete lyrics and how “Million Miles” can be viewed on RUclips and the various ways to purchase it. I mailed the letters to all of them and asked that they copy the information sheet to give to families grieving the loss of loved ones so they can listen to the song and hopefully find some comfort and peace from it. I encourage everyone to find creative ways to get “Million Miles” into the hands, ears and hearts of as many people as possible.
She's amazing at conveying emotion. This song very much connects me to when my mother died. I was holding her hand as she went, so the "now he's not here to hold my hand" lyric really grabs me.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Great to see another Angelina reaction from you Adam. You mentioned your reaction to Shield coming up--there's a line in Shield that Angelina wrote that reminds me of a line in Million Miles. In Shield she says, "Forgive me for all that I am," and in Million Miles she says, "I'll never regret what I do." It seems to me that in both of these lines Angelina is reflecting on her life as an artist, and that she is keenly aware of the commitment and the sacrifice that life entails, for both herself and for her family. You mentioned also how you never know where she's going to take a note, and one of the aspects of Angelina's creativity that I've come to understand and appreciate over the many thousands of times now that I've listened to her is that she crafts every single note, and she has what seems like an almost innate artistic sensibility that shines through in every performance. Thanks Adam.
Every single time I hear this song (multiple times a day since its release) I cry along with Angelina, and really feel her love for the whole world, and I know that I'm never alone. What a wonderful human spiritual gift she has. Her perfect pitch is often even finer than the instruments. Today is the 1st anniversary of my dear mother's passing from breast cancer at only 69 years 😢 and your reaction Adam, was very sensitive and really perceptive of the way Angelina conveys her connection to the world, especially about a lost loved one ❤ thank you 🙏🏼💕 Subscribed
That line "wherever you are" when she takes that last note up high, holds it clean for a bit, gradually adds vibrato before ending in a run - gives me chills every time. Incredible vocal control.
I love this song, because it is not from those cookie cutter templates typical in the music industry. Music is magical when it comes from the heart. Through her lyric and her voice we all spend a few minutes in our days thinking about life and family and priorities. This is why she is loved by her fans. Nice to see you again Adam.
Thank you for your wonderful reaction to this heartfelt song. You are right. This is the right song for this time- and we need lyrics that reminds us of the important in life. And she is the right one to merge styles and make it important
Even as small girl, Angelina had already mastered two qualities of a great vocal artist: she understood the meaning, and emotions of the songs, and she conveyed these things with minimal use of vocal theatrics. Everything is in the service of the song, not for acclaim and attention. Also, her covers are often better than the originals.
It’s just a beautiful song and a very moving performance. Angelina always lives the lyrics of whatever she’s singing, but you can tell on this one that it’s special. It’s her personal expression of loss, but relatable to everyone. Angelina lets her voice ride the crests and dips like a wave, but what makes her singing so different and special is that you can’t predict whether that wave will smooth out or keep growing. She gives you those goosebump vocal payoffs where you don’t expect them. And in this song, her magic voice is even more flexible and compelling. Wow. She was already my favorite singer of all time-and she keeps getter better.
Adam, please consider doing one thing for me and especially for yourself. You played Angelina singing Summertime in front of an orchestra and it was wonderful. But you have never played Summertime from Norway's Got Talent. That performance by Angelina not only won her the title of NGT but possessed perhaps the greatest note in Angelina's career! What!?!? Yes, I say no more. All of us will be so happy for you to share that moment with us.
A young girl writes and sings a song for the Grandfather she lost this year, with a video her Artist Grandmother made with her; as she sings of an experience so many grandchildren are having in this year of 2020. For all those who will never sit on their Grandparents knee again.
Aknowledging that this beautiful song is certainly about personal loss and grief and separation, as well as it is about, and offering, love and hope and healing, I would like to add that for me personal, this song is also profoundly spiritual, hinting at the fact that transcending personal grief and pain and separation, can perhaps be accomplished by climbing that individual ladder, that leads up into a clear blue sky, where you might find, that that which you thought you had lost, is in fact eternally present, as it has always been.
Over the years, I’ve learned that soulfulness feels like expansion. You can literally feel your chest expand. Angelina’s energy and, especially the soaring notes and runs, feels like that.
Everything you said about the song, her voice, and the way this song will resonate with so many people. Thanks for your terrific reactions. I look forward to your reaction to Shield.
I love your reactions! You are so good at describing your thoughts and feelings about the songs and the artists and almost always I so agree to what you say. Thank you for a great reaction!
I would have had said that if she had had full contol ...obviously it's not the case.The way her voice is lost in the background ,music in front over doing it....not on her level.This is a production made for radio diffusion,pleasing mass people ..business,business..(not from her part of course..).This is not her doing...but the doing of those studio engineers .My goodness she is so much more than this insignificants "musical"arrangemants.But it's not her doing I am sure ..What a regret those lyrics being so beautiful...her voice mutilated by those inappropriates sounds effect,s ..echos..etc.....Bet she knows it and that she is not that happy with the end product (product!). HER VOICE,HER VOICE ,ALLWAYS, FIRST.!!!!!!
@@Malibonus you are easy please. The way this song has been treated is so dissapointing .You should train your ears to listen the great one.Then you will understand What I am talking about.They treated her song like they do with those " Ketchup singers " " tin Singers " " out of the shelf singers " .I have Plenty names for those so called artists..such as Miley cyrus,lady gaga,Lana Del Rey...etc... etc... it would a great lost if she should Join this army of abyssal emptyness .
Adam another great reaction and a beautiful song by The bare foot princess I think it’s pretty evident by this release that she’s on her way to be a superstar and a Legend years from now I think music Industry needed somebody like this to change the direction of music the world and it just hasn’t been the quality than it used to be years ago but she’s bringing back an old style made new by her and it’s reactors like you that are going to help her on her way this song is going to speak to a lot of people
I have been waiting for you to hear this one, adam! I knew you would have great things to say about it. You are so right about everything you said... the maturity of her message, her mastery of runs, her ability to tap into her (and by proxy, our) emotions. I think a lot of people will relate to this song. Angelina said, "I hope this song finds a place in your heart as it comes staight from mine".... if that was her intention then (as usual) she nailed it. Thanks for checking this one out!
Angelina opened her diary then pours her heart out for each of us. Her last cry in the song, IMO, was her desperate attempt to reach her beloved grandfather in heaven. Million Miles will live to the end of time, providing comfort to countless billions of people.
She opens her life's diary to the page of the day,, opens her heart, invites listeners to step into the 'Angelina Express' to travel with her to her beautiful and amazing world for a few minutes of "nothing else matters" moments. Especially in these difficult days our world is experiencing presently is this true.
Thank you Adam for a perfect reaction. You nailed it again.💖👏👏👏👏👏👏 Its so refreshing to see and hear a video like this, this simple but beautiful art. Her red velvet voice and the lyrics are just heart breaking and so close for us all. Im so fed up with «singers» wiggling their b.. half naked and singing about nothing. Well, that sounded like an old granny I know😂😂😂 Looking forward to see you taking on Shield, thats about her mother btw. Please stay safe😊
Isn't it just marvelous to have an Angelina original? And how she takes the deepest sorrow in her heart and shares it with all of her fans (and fans-to-be) for all of us to relate to in these stressful COVID times. Whether losing a loved one to fatality or due to a rift in a relationship, this piece not only gives empathy but hope as well.
I think this song belongs to this time. All those who suffered a loss, Covid 19, during this time, this song should give a little comfort. I don't know if her intention was to get this song out now. But the timing is just right. I would like to put it this way, Angelina is a huge plaster for so many wounds of this time. And if I could do it, I would tell her that. As some have already written, she is like an angel
My favorite singer, Angelina IMHO is a genius. To convey feelings as she does is beyond phenomenal. You don't just listen to Angelina you feel her songs. Thanks again Adam for this reaction, thumbs up sir.
"Top tier". Ya, I'd agree. Always insightful opinions and analysis. You highlighted her nuanced and original approach, and just how skilled she is at what she does. I get the feeling that the sky is the limit for AJ, and really it's just up to her to determine where she goes with her considerable talents. Thanks for the review...I hadn't heard this song before, so I was along on the ride with you as a first time listener. Cheers!
Angela is fantastic wow

This song is near and dear to my heart. This song and many more became a tool to cope when i lost my brother and best friend. He died in christmas of 21. worst i have been trough 💔 Music became my tool and still is. Wonderful that music can be a comfort when you are in a tough time in life❣️🥰
Hi ... the song is getting better and better, the more often you hear it... and the emotions coming back every single time... I guess that's because it is so true and pure... it moves me... 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I agree completely. It's weird..
I have to agree with both of you. The first time I heard the song I was just worried that it would not live up to our high standards, and I was relieved. The second time, I started to bring the lyrics in tune with the melody, after the 5th time I started to become addicted - without really understanding why.... maybe the end with the very high notes wants you to have more, and the sudden end contributes to that.
Hi Adam!! Thanks for your excelent great react and comments as usual. I really enjoy your comments.
This song should be a big success because she's giving a kind of gift to everyone (all of us) everywhere. Millions of people are feeling involved in this tribute of Angelina to her grandfather. Great song from a great angel sent to Earth to make us better anyhow. Thanks Angelina for your another musical gift. I'm sure there are a lot of tears falling worldwide.
CONGRATULATIONS I see you reached your goal! Glad to help you reach it. Thank you for the wonderful reactions and especially for this reaction to Million Miles ♥ This great grandmother enjoys you and am totally over the moon for Angelina Jordan.
Your are right it was for her grandpa but she also said it’s for anyone who’s lost a loved one she said on Instagram (I hope this song finds a place in your heart as it comes straight from mine) she did say when she was singing the song that tears were running down her face while she was singing the song This song was well worth waiting for it’s just amazing it’s just beautiful and perfect but we know that Angelina always delivers she never lets us down I’m nearly 68yrs old and I can’t think of any female singers that I’ve been so pashonet about like I am with Angelina I do have female singers that I really do love but none of them comes close to Angelina Great Reaction love 💕 from Denise in Yorkshire 💖👼👼👸🏻👸🏻🦶😘XX
Outstanding reaction Adam! One commenter suggested that this song will become an "anthem" for this pandemic. And I agree. While the song is definitely cathartic for Angelina "when I was in the booth, while I was singing, my tears were running... it was like a feeling of relief that all my feelings were written down...”, also many people who have suffered unbearable loss will find the song and her performance a solace to their pain and anguish. I've listened to it more than 50 times now, and I find myself singing the words in my head---so beautiful and so touching. This is the fourth song that Angelina has written and performed, and I can see the progression in her poetic depth and acuity. And her voice is simply Magnificent! I have to remind myself that she is only 14 years old. She recently communicated with members of her patreon, and I can tell everyone that she is well and happy, and truly enjoying the entire process of producing all the songs on her new album. Thanks again Adam, for your thoughtful and informative reaction. 😊💕💕
I know it's strange to say about a song that is about loss, but it's catchy. It has nice variety and nice repetition. And now and then I am reminded just how much horsepower this girl has.
Yes she relates to every one I listen to her all the time so soothing the voice of an angel 🌸💕😂
I agree. This is one of her best vocal performances - certainly among produced recordings. Stunning.
This song will always remain timeless and relevant as long as people suffer the pain and agony of losing loved ones.
Very thoughtful Reaction Adam to a very beautiful and emotional song by Angelina great reaction , beautiful song loved it !!! 😎😎😎😎.
Very nice and super informative. Excellent, one of the best critiques.
Thank you!!
Angelina said, "This song is dedicated to anyone who has lost a loved one. I wrote this song thinking about all the great memories I had with my grandpa and how much it hurts to lose someone. I hope this song finds a place in you heart, as it comes straight from mine." I sincerely believe every word of that. The video graphics are definitely the work of grandma Mery, and compliment the lyrics perfectly. In a Interview Angelina, ''Jordan" said that while recording the song. “When I was in the booth, while I was singing, my tears were running,” she says. “To be honest, it was like a feeling of relief that all my feelings were written down and I felt relieved. “Million Miles” means a lot to me because it is relevant to these difficult times. I definitely want to share my love to everyone, and I hope that people can connect with it and relate to the story behind the song.” Adam Thanks for another great reaction and comments!!
She's is simply amazing, her tone, her words, amazing!
I've said before that Angelina Jordan sings from her soul. This song reinforces that she does just that!
Good morning, her and her grandpa had a strong bond also this song fits perfect for all the families that have lost to coronavirus in 2020, it's very emotional I am pleased about this song her first record will be a bit!! Thank you for showing and reacting!!!❗💜
She's basically just a genius at 14...tugs at your heartstrings ♡ always love your reviews Adam♡
This is such a HEALING song. Thnx for your reaction, Adam
Thank you for your wonderfully intelligent analysis and reaction to Angelina's performance here...really spot on!
Song of the Year right here, the anthem for 2020.
We so concur!!!
I agree!
Definitely 🙏🏼💖🌟
Great Reaction thank-you. I am sure we all look forward to whats next.
She sings the notes you didn't know you needed to hear
That is a beautiful way of thinking of her.
Wise comment.

I don't have words for your sentence of perfection.
Beautiful
So mature for a 14 year old.
Thank you, Adam, for yet another spectacular Angelina reaction. Wasn't that just stunning? When “Million Miles” came out on November 6th, I, like I’m sure many people , listened to it over and over, and was in awe of the power in the music, lyrics and artwork. The more I listened and watched, the more I wanted to find a way to make others aware of this masterpiece. I live in a large U. S. midwestern city that has four major hospital groups, 150 funeral homes and 25 hospice organizations. I drafted a cover letter and an information sheet about Angelina, the complete lyrics and how “Million Miles” can be viewed on RUclips and the various ways to purchase it. I mailed the letters to all of them and asked that they copy the information sheet to give to families grieving the loss of loved ones so they can listen to the song and hopefully find some comfort and peace from it. I encourage everyone to find creative ways to get “Million Miles” into the hands, ears and hearts of as many people as possible.
She's amazing at conveying emotion. This song very much connects me to when my mother died. I was holding her hand as she went, so the "now he's not here to hold my hand" lyric really grabs me.
👩🏻🎤🎵🌎⭐️🇳🇴❤️ Great to see another Angelina reaction from you Adam. You mentioned your reaction to Shield coming up--there's a line in Shield that Angelina wrote that reminds me of a line in Million Miles. In Shield she says, "Forgive me for all that I am," and in Million Miles she says, "I'll never regret what I do." It seems to me that in both of these lines Angelina is reflecting on her life as an artist, and that she is keenly aware of the commitment and the sacrifice that life entails, for both herself and for her family. You mentioned also how you never know where she's going to take a note, and one of the aspects of Angelina's creativity that I've come to understand and appreciate over the many thousands of times now that I've listened to her is that she crafts every single note, and she has what seems like an almost innate artistic sensibility that shines through in every performance. Thanks Adam.
Ty so much for your station I am 61 and your channel means a lot to me ty love u ❤️❤️😘😘😘❤️❤️😘😘
First time I've paid for an individual track since I was a kid!!!! Well worth supporting Angelina I think. Thanks Adam.
Every single time I hear this song (multiple times a day since its release) I cry along with Angelina, and really feel her love for the whole world, and I know that I'm never alone. What a wonderful human spiritual gift she has. Her perfect pitch is often even finer than the instruments. Today is the 1st anniversary of my dear mother's passing from breast cancer at only 69 years 😢 and your reaction Adam, was very sensitive and really perceptive of the way Angelina conveys her connection to the world, especially about a lost loved one ❤ thank you 🙏🏼💕 Subscribed
I'm so sorry for your loss
@@AdamStraughan thank you!
That line "wherever you are" when she takes that last note up high, holds it clean for a bit, gradually adds vibrato before ending in a run - gives me chills every time. Incredible vocal control.
Wow.. Im in tears. I lost my father when I was eleven and I can totaly relate to her here. Thank you.
Adam this is one of the best songs i ever herd ,shegot me crieng in ten seconds.
I love this song, because it is not from those cookie cutter templates typical in the music industry. Music is magical when it comes from the heart. Through her lyric and her voice we all spend a few minutes in our days thinking about life and family and priorities. This is why she is loved by her fans. Nice to see you again Adam.
Thank you for your wonderful reaction to this heartfelt song. You are right. This is the right song for this time- and we need lyrics that reminds us of the important in life. And she is the right one to merge styles and make it important
Even as small girl, Angelina had already mastered two qualities of a great vocal artist: she understood the meaning, and emotions of the songs, and she conveyed these things with minimal use of vocal theatrics. Everything is in the service of the song, not for acclaim and attention. Also, her covers are often better than the originals.
Oh, thanks Adam, for an excellent reaction.
Adele's 'All i Ask' is one of them.
That was so amazing I just love her so much it really hits you in the heart love from Canada
It’s just a beautiful song and a very moving performance. Angelina always lives the lyrics of whatever she’s singing, but you can tell on this one that it’s special. It’s her personal expression of loss, but relatable to everyone.
Angelina lets her voice ride the crests and dips like a wave, but what makes her singing so different and special is that you can’t predict whether that wave will smooth out or keep growing. She gives you those goosebump vocal payoffs where you don’t expect them. And in this song, her magic voice is even more flexible and compelling. Wow. She was already my favorite singer of all time-and she keeps getter better.
Angelina jordan is so creative in her art , and her song is a masterpiece filled with so much artistic talent through her song.
Adam, please consider doing one thing for me and especially for yourself. You played Angelina singing Summertime in front of an orchestra and it was wonderful. But you have never played Summertime from Norway's Got Talent. That performance by Angelina not only won her the title of NGT but possessed perhaps the greatest note in Angelina's career! What!?!? Yes, I say no more. All of us will be so happy for you to share that moment with us.
A young girl writes and sings a song for the Grandfather she lost this year, with a video her Artist Grandmother made with her; as she sings of an experience so many grandchildren are having in this year of 2020. For all those who will never sit on their Grandparents knee again.
♥️So so incredible beautiful!! ♥️
A liberating tear on the cheek of humanity. ART! Lifetime music.
Aknowledging that this beautiful song is certainly about personal loss and grief and separation, as well as it is about, and offering, love and hope and healing, I would like to add
that for me personal, this song is also profoundly spiritual, hinting at the fact that transcending personal grief and pain and separation, can perhaps be accomplished by climbing
that individual ladder, that leads up into a clear blue sky, where you might find, that that which you thought you had lost, is in fact eternally present, as it has always been.
Over the years, I’ve learned that soulfulness feels like expansion. You can literally feel your chest expand. Angelina’s energy and, especially the soaring notes and runs, feels like that.
Just caught this reaction of a million miles and the song and her singing are top tier as always; can’t wait for her to drop an album on vinyl.
Everything you said about the song, her voice, and the way this song will resonate with so many people. Thanks for your terrific reactions. I look forward to your reaction to Shield.
I love your reactions! You are so good at describing your thoughts and feelings about the songs and the artists and almost always I so agree to what you say. Thank you for a great reaction!
I would not hesitate to use the word, masterpiece.
I would have had said that if she had had full contol ...obviously it's not the case.The way her voice is lost in the background ,music in front over doing it....not on her level.This is a production made for radio diffusion,pleasing mass people ..business,business..(not from her part of course..).This is not her doing...but the doing of those studio engineers .My goodness she is so much more than this insignificants "musical"arrangemants.But it's not her doing I am sure ..What a regret those lyrics being so beautiful...her voice mutilated by those inappropriates sounds effect,s ..echos..etc.....Bet she knows it and that she is not that happy with the end product (product!). HER VOICE,HER VOICE ,ALLWAYS, FIRST.!!!!!!
@@jean-claudeledanois1247 Couldn´t disagree more. To me its simply perfect. One of the best ballads since many years.
@@Malibonus you are easy please. The way this song has been treated is so dissapointing .You should train your ears to listen the great one.Then you will understand What I am talking about.They treated her song like they do with those " Ketchup singers " " tin Singers " " out of the shelf singers " .I have Plenty names for those so called artists..such as Miley cyrus,lady gaga,Lana Del Rey...etc... etc... it would a great lost if she should Join this army of abyssal emptyness .
Awesomeness absolute, Angelina is our blessing for remembering heart and soul. To feel everything. Thank you Adam.🎙🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶😊💯
You're one of my favorite reactors of true talent. Keep being you.
Thanks! I appreciate that!
Fantastic omg million miles relates to every one I lost my daughter Adam it’s great to listen to u to
I’m sorry for your loss
This is a clear example how a great artist grieves...
Making a MASTERPIECE!!!
Adam another great reaction and a beautiful song by The bare foot princess I think it’s pretty evident by this release that she’s on her way to be a superstar and a Legend years from now I think music Industry needed somebody like this to change the direction of music the world and it just hasn’t been the quality than it used to be years ago but she’s bringing back an old style made new by her and it’s reactors like you that are going to help her on her way this song is going to speak to a lot of people
Love Angelina and the song is beautiful. Welcome back.
I have been waiting for you to hear this one, adam! I knew you would have great things to say about it. You are so right about everything you said... the maturity of her message, her mastery of runs, her ability to tap into her (and by proxy, our) emotions. I think a lot of people will relate to this song. Angelina said, "I hope this song finds a place in your heart as it comes staight from mine".... if that was her intention then (as usual) she nailed it. Thanks for checking this one out!
Angelina opened her diary then pours her heart out for each of us. Her last cry in the song, IMO, was her desperate attempt to reach her beloved grandfather in heaven. Million Miles will live to the end of time, providing comfort to countless billions of people.
She opens her life's diary to the page of the day,, opens her heart, invites listeners to step into the 'Angelina Express' to travel with her to her beautiful and amazing world for a few minutes of "nothing else matters" moments. Especially in these difficult days our world is experiencing presently is this true.
Thank you Adam for a perfect reaction. You nailed it again.💖👏👏👏👏👏👏
Its so refreshing to see and hear a video like this, this simple but beautiful art. Her red velvet voice and the lyrics are just heart breaking and so close for us all. Im so fed up with «singers» wiggling their b.. half naked and singing about nothing.
Well, that sounded like an old granny I know😂😂😂 Looking forward to see you taking on Shield, thats about her mother btw. Please stay safe😊
Brilliant. And the artwork by her grandmother, Meri Zamani, wow. Everything about this masterpiece keeps it universal, touches hearts.
Actually Angie and her Grandma both did the art for the video.
You put into words what I experienced! Thank you! Value your reactions.
Nice comments about this song, and it’s clear your comments are real. I believe you would enjoy her original - What is Life.
Isn't it just marvelous to have an Angelina original? And how she takes the deepest sorrow in her heart and shares it with all of her fans (and fans-to-be) for all of us to relate to in these stressful COVID times. Whether losing a loved one to fatality or due to a rift in a relationship, this piece not only gives empathy but hope as well.
I think this song belongs to this time. All those who suffered a loss, Covid 19, during this time, this song should give a little comfort. I don't know if her intention was to get this song out now. But the timing is just right. I would like to put it this way, Angelina is a huge plaster for so many wounds of this time. And if I could do it, I would tell her that. As some have already written, she is like an angel
I watched this 20 += times before I did not cry, but I still shed 1 tear every time.
My favorite singer, Angelina IMHO is a genius. To convey feelings as she does is beyond phenomenal. You don't just listen to Angelina you feel her songs. Thanks again Adam for this reaction, thumbs up sir.
Absolutely amazing, truly masterpiece
This one is a tear jerker.
It's easy to to describe how much I liked this song .." I bought it on 3 device's. Really enjoyed your reaction and description.
Absolutely love this song! Good analysis, too!
"Top tier". Ya, I'd agree. Always insightful opinions and analysis. You highlighted her nuanced and original approach, and just how skilled she is at what she does. I get the feeling that the sky is the limit for AJ, and really it's just up to her to determine where she goes with her considerable talents. Thanks for the review...I hadn't heard this song before, so I was along on the ride with you as a first time listener. Cheers!
