"I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends. The joke's on them." One of my alltime favorites. She is incredible.

That’s the line that got me, with the other unexpected shift to the major chord that got me. I had quit going to movies; gave up hoping for better.

She performed on the Grammys a few years back. Probably best Grammy performance ever. That is probably where you heard it

PHENOMENAL performance!!!!! I love at the end when she starts bouncing and jumping, she knew she slayed. Left no scraps!!!!!!!

She has a perfect voice. So technical yet emotional. And can sing any genre.

You should check out her live performance of this song on the Grammys!

This song hits home hard for me. Love this song ❤

Yes, she is a phenomenal singer, song writer, and musician!

I didnt know anything about her until I went to a Pink concert and she opened. She has an amazing voice live. Defiantly made me look her up.

She said. " I have been to the movies. I've seen how it ends. And the jokes on them."

It's the jokes on them

Brandi will always amaze you. She is such a legend and i love her stuff

You have a beautiful voice, yourself!

She did The Story- yep. Please listen to her version of Hallelujah ❤❤ It is so very good. The tidal like break in her voice❤

a young Benicio Bryant sung this on AGT. Great performance. It's an anthem.

I love your voice. ❤. Brilliance!!

Please chk the Grammy performance of this. Standing Os all around.

You're feeling nervous, aren't you, boy? With your quiet voice and impeccable style Don't ever let them steal your joy And your gentle ways To keep 'em from running wild They can kick dirt in your face Dress you down, and tell you that your place Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine I see you tugging on your shirt Trying to hide inside of it And hide how much it hurts Let 'em laugh while they can Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends And the joke's on them You get discouraged, don't you, girl? It's your brother's world for a while longer We gotta dance with the devil on a river To beat the stream Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder They come to kick dirt in your face To call you weak and then displace you After carrying your baby on your back across the desert I saw your eyes behind your hair And you're looking tired, but you don't look scared Let 'em laugh while they can Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends And the joke's on them Let 'em laugh while they can Let 'em spin, let 'em scatter in the wind I have been to the movies, I've seen how it ends And the joke's on them Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

On them

Here is a link to a young man who was helped a great deal even taking him on the road and having him sing back-up but bringing him forward to sing this song with her not only at concerts but also took him on a couple late night shows to sing this song with her. His name is Benicio Bryant and he is a singer/songwriter. Benicio also sang this for his audition for AGT 2019. He was a very popular contestant. You should watch his version. Here's the link below. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kaqixaZrcdO7eso.html Benicio at 14 'The Joke' by Brandi Carlile.

The joke’s on them.

Benico Bryant sang it on AGT

I’m seeing her with Pink in 14 days!

Watch the movie this song is featured in. Joe Bell with Mark Wahlberg.

👍

She's saying and thw jokes on them.

THEM

She is saying 'the joke's on them".

"The jokes on them"

What, nick couldn’t hear “on them“? That’s funny because it’s some of the other words that she singing before that that I couldn’t hear in the past, and then I figured it out one day. When someone is just a belting and keeping their mouth open the whole time, it affects the enunciation , lol.

But when she says “I’ve been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends”, I never knew what she was saying there on that second half of that phrase. Until about six months ago, lol. Belt City!

“On them”….

Paraphrasing: "They want to laugh at and marginalize you after you carried your baby across a desert on your back. They want to tell you you're in the middle when they see you shine." Look in the mirror, folks. The best art makes us see the world, and ourselves, differently.
