With over a dozen absolute chart busters behind her, there are just two things about Brandi I can't understand, of course I attribute this primarily to the insanity of playing into the mainstream {American} payola routine...
i just love the sense of coming home at evening coming out of this song, when shops are about to close, when the frigging heater in my car barely warms me up and the longing clings my chest so tightly..
@LoserJinxedAndJaded It was her best friend in highschool, but after Brandi got in a band and started traveling, and Amber Lee got married and had kids they lost touch. She wrote this song and Amber Lee ended up hearing it and called her and they reconnected. She was at one of the concerts I went to, Brandi sang the song but said Amber Lee hated hearing because it made her feel guilty.
It just flows along so sweetly, and that gets to that line so softly expressed...."and when did you stop missing me" and it rips right into your heart...all the friends that tried to stay in touch, and that you tried to stay in touch with...and all of a sudden, you notice they don't miss you....and you just noticed it without warning.....that you must not be missing them...and they were once such a part of your life....such a mature beautiful song.
Hey Ben, there is a Brandi Carlile video posted with a performance at the Easy Street Record Shop, with Brandi inviting another young fan on stage to perform with her. I thought it was wonderful.
It is at:
[ Brandi Carlile - Wasted - Live @ Easy Street Records ]

The A.C.L. performance was wonderfully transcendent.
I like her more rockin' stuff.
This sounds like an early track.
Brandi is one of the finest singers to come around in a long time.

Does anybody know who's Amber Lee in this song? "I'm happy can't you see? I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee".

I found on the web that Amber Lee was a friend of Brandi Carlile. They formed a rock band when both were in their early teens.
