From the new album "By The Way, I Forgive You" available now: elektrar.ec/Bra... Directed by Wes Teshome Connect with Brandi: brandicarlile.com / brandicarlile / brandicarlile / brandicarlile
One of the best songs ever written, sung by one of the best voices ever heard, backed by great musicians and a simply great black and white video to boot. Pure pleasure.
This song brings me tears everytime.... Especially the part of a migrant mother carrying her child across the desert... Its a moving tribute to the times that we face.
I think this song is amazing. It’s one of those songs that have such a powerful and important message, but also have this real, authentic, and raw emotion that just moves you to tears. The message is one that every child, teen, and adult should hear, learn, and take to heart. It is absolutely the truth. The ones who bully and cut down those who are different, unique, shy, artistic, whatever…. The joke is ALWAYS on them in the end.
I’m a single dad with friends whose kids are still finding their way to shine. I play this song to them and it makes such a powerful influence that it just has to be highly commended. I love the writing and the performance. Much respect and appreciation. Thank you ❤
It is so important for us to encourage others (and ourselves) to shine - and to never let them steal our joy. You're not alone in sharing this powerful song with others on life's many roads. Be well!
This song should have won song of the year on the Grammys. This young lady has the most beautiful voice range,and the lyrics are so deep. I only discovered her from watching the Grammys, and now she will be streaming on my playlist. Listening to this song brings tears to my eyes,especially in light of the world that we live in.
I agree with all the comments and the 6,700 people that "thumbs up'ed" it. And for the 158 people that "thumbs downed" it, your insane....at 37 years old, I still love nothing more than discovering a new artist or song or a song by an artist you never knew until years later....but this song was a radio discovery. 88.7 WNCW or 98.1 the river, Asheville, NC....the moment I heard it, I Shazamed it. What a great App. I am now obsessed with this powerful, emotional, brilliant, beautiful song. It then made me realize who she was, with her other hits on the radio....Wherever Is Your Heart, That Wasn't Me, The Eye....Similar to Neko Case in songwriting, big voice, notable success.... two amazing ladies....
For the first time after many many years you gave me faith that meaningful tasteful music still exists. This song made me sing out loud and play my guitar after almost 20 years...
There's that little cry in her voice that makes this song sound so haunting. I love it so much. She is a genre all by herself. So much soul in her voice, similar to folk songs from the 60's and early 70's.
@@rickfrenzy9556 Neil Diamond has it happen occasionally, but it's by accident rather than design and it melts my heart. In Lee Greenwood's original version of "God bless the U.S.A." (the video starts with him on a tractor) the first time he sings the line "Cause the flag still stands for freedom And they can't take that away" when he gets to "Awaaaa haaaaay", it's the ONLY time he has ever done it that first time. I don't think he ever does it quite the same whenever he sings it, but I was hearing it all day long on the radio when that song came out in 1984. It got played on pop, country, and who knows what other genre, but it was getting played all day and that stuck with me.
They say men aren't allowed to cry-shouldn't cry..but I'm not ashamed to say I did hearing this ..powerful, beautiful, soulful song..full of emotion..And Brandi Sears your soul with her wonderful voice..a song that I will ALWAYS cry too, and smile at the Same time.. Thank you Brandi for 're awakening my humanity X
Hi Robert.. This is the first song of Brandi Carlisle that you ever sent me and I fell in love with her.... Just listen to this song baby whenever you can as it continues to bring me alot of smiles that you have such absolute great taste in music.... Thanks for always sharing... Baa 💜💜🥰💜💜 Xoxoxo
finally!...some music with substance and emotion. Not too many songwriters left in this world that can touch your soul quite like this woman. thank you Brandi!
This isn't just a song. It's an anthem. One of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. I saw Brandi open for the Indigo Girls in 1999 at zoo fundraiser in Albuquerque.
This song gives me faith in the future of modern music. Even though it is not a technically difficult piece, the guitars blended together with the other stringed instruments & keys, along with Brandi's beautiful vocals soaring out on subject matter that has risen to the forefront of our nation's attention, makes it a complete and utter "Masterpiece" in my book! God Bless, Brandi..................BEAUTIFUL!!!
Brandi, I don't know...how you do those things lyrically or vocally, or what miracle of the Universe they came from, but I'm so, so glad I get to occupy the Earth at the same time as you.
I discovered Brandi and the Twins over 15 years ago. Up until the last 5 or 6 years I couldn’t see how the whole world didn’t know her. It’s about time. What an artistic treasure!
The emotions, her passion...EVERY performance torn from her very soul🔥 when Janis Joplin passed from this world, she came back to us in Brandi Carlile💋🙏💙
Woooooooooooow, this was a revelation when I saw her - quite by accident - live.. Total surprise when from Europe. Love this artist, really adooooooooooore this song. I mean, like, really....in awe.
Once in a long while we discover something that can only be described as an anthem. This soars--- and it lifts us up with it, leaving the mean people below in our dust. I never understood those who were extremely jealous or aggressive or unkind ... and I still am amazed how hatred and fear keeps getting taught and bred. But now I know a song that puts them in their place, and gives hope to the meek and the different and the unwelcome. This one's a gem.
BEST performance at the Grammy's 2019 My God Brandi took my breath away, gave me goosebumps and wet eyes. This is what music should and needs to be. Brilliant vocals.
Now compare it to Cardi B. You would ask why would Cardi B. would even be on the stage. Things have changed. Brandi deserved to be there more than any artists there in the Grammys.
I have been so moved by the lyrics of this song and the heart mixed with the soul that Brandi emots during this sermonic presentation. Thank you for such a needful songwriting!
This song touch me Very deeply. Like nothing has in a long time . Remind me that the joy of being a parent, a child brother or sister no one should be able to steal. Your joy. Let life be joyful an Brite.thankyou for every tear this song brings Y
Her Grammy performance was the best thing I've ever seen. She stole the show. Never has a song made me feel so many different things at once. She deserves many Grammy's. WOW!
Beaitiful lyrics channelled by a beautiful piercing benevolent voice that unravels all the lies n programs that can no longer shackle us. Thanks for reminding us who really are Brandi. Thanks for setting us free.
The magic of that room. The many great moments in our times. Weather Happy or sad. Come through in her song. You just don't hear it, but we feel it. I've been in that Studio exact room with Prince and Eddie Van Halen personally. Both have said they felt the energy of a ghost or spiritual thickness. Looks like Brandi tapped into it too. Goose bumps.. And tears. Wow.
The slow build throughout the song, TOTALLY pays off with that climactic "....THEEEEMM!", combined with the strings n drums (& pretty much EVERYONE involved), is pretty damn epic, to say the least. Awesome job!
This beautiful woman wrote this song that i needed when i was a young girl I'm 64 now but i am glad that its here now for those hurting souls that need healing!! BRAVO 💜
I heard the song on cbc. ca for the first time one day after the Grammy's/19 and right the way the song boost my spirit and I could see the optimism in my life ...thanks Ms Carlile I can face the World once again and again! Cheers from Toronto!
Oh My Goodness :) For a very long time there was no better song then Hotel California from The Eagles.......... well.... this one topped it for me... I have no words for this song song. I dont mind the lyrics... It Is Just A Very Great Song !!! Well done. (thanks to Tidal, it was song nr. 1 on a mix they made, never heard of Miss Carlile before in The Netherlands)
Jesus this song hits me I'm 36 and it's like she's singing it to me as a young man Her voice is everything She sounds like a mother a big sister That older cousin that always had your back The teacher you loved Your friends big sister you had a crush on I can't explain how I hear all that and it may sound ridiculous but I do
This song breaks me apart every time I hear it. "...after carrying your baby on your back across the desert" < This is everything to me. Thank you Brandi
Haven’t listened to Brandi in a while and since this song got nominated for a Grammy I figured I’d listen to it... and now I don’t think there’s any other choice but to give it the award. Fucking beautiful.
I have never heard of this Music Artist before,and today driving to work I heard this song.It BLEW ME AWAY” She sings from her heart and has a unique voice.It’s when she hits the high notes and just plunges in like her soul is dancing with the music. Wow what gifted talent.I have called everyone I know to listen to her voice and they are going WOW WHO IS THIS GIRL”.
I miss New music from Brandi!!!! I love her voice so much and been following her since the beginning thank God!! New album will be a BEAUTIFUL thing!! Your fans love y’all Brandi and the twins and Josh!!!!
I heard this song last week on the radio and it stopped me in my tracks. I bought the song yesterday and play it on repeat in my car. Listening to her voice and the lyrics gives me goosebumps and sends a tingle up my spine every time. I love it when music can do that.
I knw her from the movie "the lucky one", keep watching that movie over and over cos of her song n a few years back till now , m a big fan... Lots of love and prayers from Meghalaya Brandi ❤
i knew about her when she did a song with the indigo girls. i knew then she would be big. she is a humble women who will light the way as others before her. Keep writing and giving us hope. stay strong
Absolutely BRILLIANT. I wish I could send this straight into the heart of Emma Gonzalez right now, and ALL of those incredible young men and women saying #neveragain and taking so much crap from idiots...
This is truly a special song. It's profound lyrics, music arrangement, and her gifted vocals makes for a truly moving and deep provoking emotional response.
Its hard to not love everything the three of them do together. Every single damn year the three of them steal my heart. #thetwins #brandicarlile for the win 🙌👏💓💞
She never disappoints. Ultimate, #1 favorite from the first time I ever heard her. Can't wait to see her again next year. It will be my 9th time and I can't even express how much each show gets better and better and better. She's simply THE BEST!
Beyond Infinite. Pass the Milky ways. She's landed on Earth for all of us to enjoy. She's God Sent 📤 Respect what has come. And Listen to the Message. She is a God. Amen. 🙏💙🇺🇲
