Eleven Kidz Bop albums have been released to date. Each album features different pop music songs, played with music similar to the original, and with the "Kidz Bop Kids" singing instead of the original artist. Albums are typically released within a few months of each other and thus the songs included tend to be the hit songs of the current time, including such songs such as "Float On" (Modest Mouse), "This Love" (Maroon 5), and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (Green Day).

Although the albums are marketed as being "sanitized" versions of popular songs for children, many of the songs featured on the Kidz Bop albums still contain explicit sexual material, such as Rob Thomas's "Lonely No More," which some people consider inappropriate for younger audiences. Other featured songs, such as "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", contain profanity. Although the albums censor the actual word from the song, the context of the profanity remains. They also covered Green Day's hit "Wake Me Up When September Ends", which is about death.

The Kidz Bop video for their cover of Avril Lavigne's "Sk8r Boi", for instance, features the song being sung by a pre-teen girl in heavy make-up, fishnet stockings, and a Sex Pistols t-shirt.

A Thousand Miles
Kidz Bop Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Making my way down town
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way

Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, tonight

It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder If you ever think of me

'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in
Your precious memory

'Cause I need you
And I miss you and now I wonder
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by, oh
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight

And I, I don't want to let you know I,
I drown in your memory I,
I don't want to let this go
I,I don't.

Making my way down town walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time, would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, now

If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just see you
If I could just hold you, tonight.

Overall Meaning

The song "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton is about missing someone so much that the singer would walk a thousand miles just to see them one more time. The first verse describes the singer walking down town quickly, not paying attention to the people around her because she is focused on getting home to the person she misses. The chorus expresses how much she needs and misses that person, questioning whether time would stand still if she could just fall into the sky and reach them. The second verse talks about how everything feels wrong without that person and how she feels like she doesn't belong anywhere but in their memory.

The lyrics are filled with emotion and longing, painting a picture of someone who is truly missing a loved one. The use of imagery in the lyrics of this song is particularly effective, with words like "making my way" and "staring blankly" helping to convey the feeling of being lost without that person. The repetition of the phrase "if I could just see you" emphasizes the depth of the singer's desire to be reunited with their loved one.

Making my way down town
I am traveling through the city

Walking fast
I am moving quickly on foot

Faces pass
I am surrounded by people going in various directions

And I'm home bound
I am heading home

Staring blankly ahead
I am not paying attention to my surroundings

Just making my way
I am focused on my journey

Making a way through the crowd
I am pushing through the many people around me

And I need you
I depend on you

And I miss you
I long for your company

And now I wonder
I am pondering

If I could fall into the sky
If I could travel through the air
