Brandi Carlile is the best singer/songwriter in the world today.
When she says she came out as a teen (it was back in the 90s). Not an easy thing or as accepted as it is now these days. Love that she speaking to it, touches and is healing for so many in our generation.

I remember the first time I heard this song. I just cried and cried.. I played it on loop for hours and the impact wouldn't fade. What a song.. what a voice.. what lyrics! Out of this world!
This lady just spills her entire soul out when she sings. She is very special💗
brandi's voice gives me chills. this song gives me chills. her ability to write such powerful songs gives me chills.
When she hit the notes her smile was so beautiful...live and acoustic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 just wow...it was out of this world.
Shame its taken this long. The Story was incredible in 2007. Brandi is the Janis Joplin and Mary Travers of our generation.

Right?
I was at that Madison Square Garden show. She packed the house and was phenomenal!! First saw her when she opened for Chris Isaak in Morristown, NJ right after her debut album came out. The sound system shut down mid-song and she kept right on playing. Her voice easily carried to the last row, unamplified. Was fortunate enough to get her to sign the CD I purchased at intermission in the lobby of the venue. One of my prized possessions.
Nearly 62. Grew up hating country and folk music. Saw Brandi on Jools Holland's tv show. Fell in love with that voice. She transcends styles. Years went by until I bought The Story album. I cried all the way through. She and "The Twins' are special. I now have five albums of hers and I'm desperate to see her live. I don't cry so much now but I just did.

Amazing , I truly think a fire lit in her in the last half of the song , I could feel the energy change in her voice , wow that was incredible .

She has an incredible soul - this is artistry at its finest.
Editing for Brandi must be so easy because she’s so perfect
Raw talent.
The chord progression of the melody using those b (flat)chords make it so melancholy and gorgeously bitter sweet. It's a great song to cover. Benicio on AGT just did and he killed it.

WOW! A sitdown interview with Ellen! I am so happy for Brandi and I was absolutely positive that, once people heard her on such a far reaching event as the Grammys, her popularity would soar. And so it has! Congratulations to her and the Twins. No one could be more deserving!
It’s doesn’t get any better than that!!!!!!! Love you Brandi Carlisle.
I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it while watching Brandi perform it on SNL. I was blown away. It has got to be one of the most emotionally powerful songs I have ever heard.
Brandi carlile and LP should do a song together! Both incredibly talented artists. Voices of angels ❤️
Love love love ❤️❤️❤️❤️
