Something about this song. It kills me. Such a profound melody. It's beautiful and it rocks like hell. And her voice is just amazing. This is perfection.
Her voice rips your guts out. Every once in a while, an Artist comes up with a hit that breaks free of the Earth's gravity and shakes the ground beneath our feet.
Sorry - but in my humble opinion - this is one of best songs EVER WRITTEN - and let's not forget the stunningly incredible voice delivering this masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@dirod7290 I have learned that the bad feelings do subside after some time, but they will never go away. you never just grieve and forget, like people will suggest. Good luck to you and your family.
obsessed with her and the twins ever since the Grammy's. watching whatever she has on RU-vid.. she doesn't need a studio, her live performances are flawless
I saw her perform once live and like 2/3rds in she said “sorry I have a chest cold and couldn’t give you my best!” And I was in shock because I had been thinking “wow she might have the best voice I’ve ever heard live”
For me this song is one of the greatest compositions of melody and lyrics ever to come out of American popular music. So much emotional truth and subtlety. And then Brandi puts every ounce of honesty and emotion into the delivery: this is one of her distinguishing characteristics--I have never seen or heard a performance in which she did not seem to be totally invested in the story of the song. Rarely have we seen such a combination of gorgeous voice, brilliant songwriting and charismatic performance. She will never be as famous as Lady Gaga or Beyonce, but she is every bit as good. Though this particular song was written by the twins, Brandi's songwriting catalog is brilliant. Like Dylan, Paul Simon, the Beatles, she points us to deep truths about life through poetry and song.
Red Rocks.. 2011. I'm walking in. Wife and I. She's belting out this song. Man I'm telling you you it dropped me to a knee. She's that amazing live. Blew my mind. Hit me emotionally.
I'm a guy in my 40s and never married. If I ever do get married, this is the one thing I don't want to budge on - this is the first dance. You want imported Tahitian palm fronds and hand-squeezed key lime pie? Sure, whatever makes you happy. This is our first dance.
This is the song that made me find out who this fantastic woman was. Been in love with her music ever since. So happy that the Grammy's really introduced her to the world!
This The Proud Lesbian Mother of Evangolene, the Great Singer/ Songwriter, & Artist. This is One of My Idols: Brandi Carlile. It Don’t matter who or what you are, she proves you can be who you really am, anywhere. You’re Awesome, Thank You for Your Music & Who You Are 👍👍👏👏💝💝🎸🎸🎤🎤🙏🙏
You know a perfect artist when they performing live, she's more than perfect to me, the voice, the music , the lyrics and these touches you... lots of love from Meghalaya ❤
I first this song on a British show and it was sung by LeAnn Rimes so I searched for who wrote it and who first recorded it. I had never heard of Brandi Carlile or the Hanseroth twins. Well I have now, a vastly underrated band and one of my favourites. I am surprised The Story was not a hit in the UK for Brandi and from my research she is little known, a great pity.
Who can't relate to these LYRICS??? Brilliant phrasing & feel with the power chords!!! Best part is that people are singing its praises in on this genre-crossing, sincere power ballad 14 years later. 2007 this is I believe.
One of the best song in the world ,i could cry ,she moves all the sentiments even if i don't know all the words of THE STORY ! Big embrace to you Brenda Carlile !
Powerful .... i really feel this rendition this song...i feel the journey how her life was burned in her soul..her joys and pain on her heart is like a mirror reflecting .....the story....she finds someone who gets her accepts as is and joins her journey love ....soul mates do happen..moving on to find mine
