  • WOW!

  • I keep coming back to this one.

    Best rendition on the net.

  • Just revisited this and every single hair on my body stood on end on hearing it. Was booked to see her in Glasgow this year, but the concert was called off.

    One day I'll see her perform live though.

  • me pega con tubo la voz de esta mujer, en esta cancion, simple y sencillamente espectacular.

  • this is just brilliant

  • Quem sabe faz ao vivo! "The Story" no acústico e Brandi me fascina! Para mim é uma das melhores músicas dela e Brandi Carlile é minha cantora preferida! I LOVE BRANDI CARLILE!!!

  • magic is the word :)

  • WOW. 

  • J'ai des frissons à chaque fois!

  • I LOVE YOU, 

  • a te ke oggi coroni il tuo sogno d'amore con un'altra ragazza dedico questa canzone! addio amore mio!

  • I heard this song and I loved it!!! But didn't know who was the singer!!!

    She sounds amazing!!! =)

  • omg. the way she puts her lips on mic. I love her :)

  • Comment removed

  • I absolutely love this song. As a classically-trained musician and guitarist myself, there is almost nothing that "gets to me" musically. Most stuff out there is trite and emotionally empty, hard hitting beat notwithstanding.

    This song and the lyrics however touch me to the core of my being. I never get tired of hearing this song.

    I've never seen Brandi Carlile's face before until now. WOW! she is almost as perfect as her voice. I'm so happily surprised.

  • Just heard this for the first time...WOW!! Amazing vocal. 

  • This woman...is the most amazing woman I have ever seen or heard. Her voice is so beautiful, and she performs so effortlessly. Perfection.

  • That made the favorites list.

  • She came to my town and i saw her live it was amazingg

  • She came to my town and she was amazingg!

  • I just discovered this wonderful song today.

  • 1st heard snippet of her rousing song on CNN commercial - freaked me out! Promptly emailed CNN to get name at least. Of course, no suitable email for such enquiries, but got reply that they would NOT divulge her name, and, in any case, I could not buy it. Thanks to persistence and YouTube, I play her song every day from a desktop icon. ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER !

  • The two bat boys in the back are freaking me out!!

  • @FireFlyProd3 Perhaps you should know that those twins are the composers of this piece....

  • @sobelou Glad to see bat people are getting work.

  • @FireFlyProd3 Thank you, that is so generous of you!!

  • @FireFlyProd3 They've been with her from the start, I find it refreshing that she didn't dump the people that helped get her to where she is today.

  • @Leavon That's right. Especially since they wrote this song, which is her biggest hit.

  • If you really want to know how good this chick is, listen to ANY cover of this song on youtube. No one even comes close. Her voice is awesome. Plain and simple

  • This is just one of those songs that you love the first time you hear it.

  • @mne202001 TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE TRUE.

  • EVERYTHING she sings is pure gold, pure and simple. She is fast becoming one of only a few of my favorite artists, ever!. Thank you Miss Carlile for making lots of lives brighter..

  • LOVE this song

  • Quick messge for all those giving Frightwolf satisfaction in his pointless ranting:

    You're arguing with a highschool boy who has strong opinions about concepts of which he knows very little. He argues to hear himself argue, right or wrong, and in this case he is very wrong. His lack of understanding these lyrics, vocal, video production, and overall presentation show that he is young and should do more research prior to expressing hiimself.

    Brandi is exceptional with a plethora of talent.

  • Jason- Brandi's voice is not unlike a million other women. She's just got marketing behind her. It also doesn't hurt that she's very attractive. This wouldn't be the first time someone confused beauty with talent. "Handsome is as handsome does", I believe is how the saying goes. When you're attractive, a mediocre voice tends to sound a WHOLE lot better. As for TV being "superior", need I remind you of REALITY TV contestants being forced to eat Grub worms in order to win? Now, go away!

  • @FrightwoIf I never knew how this woman looked liked before I heard one of her songs and already loved her voice, so your opinion is invalid already. She is the only singer that touches my soul. Yes, my soul. You want to confuse beauty with talent? Why don't you turn on every Hip-hop and Mainstream pop station in your city; that will show you what talentless is. So, no...YOU go away.

  • @mzzzhedison well said, and 100% true.

  • @FrightwoIf

    Who else sounds like this woman?

  • @FrightwoIf Actually the saying goes "Stupid is as stupid does" .... or is it "write"?

  • @FrightwoIf if beauty's all Brandi's got, she would've been a model.

  • How dare some one thumbs down this song. >:-@

  • Hey guys! Make sure and check out Brandi's tour dates for Lilith Fair this year!

  • las guitarras son electro acusticas

  • She's above average and I can enjoy her songs. I am a bit dissappointe tho because I got on this track via Norah Jones, the Ultimate female vocalist. ED

  • @KonaBOII92 Sir what music do you listen to?

  • @Rapidtortilla Why, why you like no for?

  • @KONABOII92 Dude, no one outside of Hi understands pidgeon. Please speak English, so they know what you are saying

  • @TEB1952 Exactly, why the hell they comment to me then.

  • @KONABOII92 I see your point. They must understand the jest of what you are saying. But I think if you learn to articulate your position with refinement and dignity they may really understand you, and not take offense. I love her voice. I also like Leo Kotkee's, as well as Ledward, and Iz. Aretha Franklin makes me want to climb a clock tower and start shooting (just kidding about the shooting). I don't like Butch Helemano (no class). Anyway, enjoy your music.

  • @TEB1952 okay dude, I'm done with the whole "her voice sucks" thing, i take it back, I just want some people to just shut up already, cause me I can tell them straight off (meaning to shut up or shut them down so they cannot write a comment back to me when they don't have a come back to say). Peace.

  • @KONABOII92 You are kool. Take care, and peace too.

  • Perfect and lovely !

  • What a great acoustic. Come back to seattle girl! We want to see you again!

  • Ho hum! Nothing new in music! My god, how many times must we endure the guy/gal sitting on a stool...with a guitar, singing about lost love. Blah Blah Blah Blah

  • @FrightwoIf Would you rather they sat in a rocking chair? Sorry,but Val Doonicanhad that covered back in the 70s.

  • @JasonRadley I would rather see something new, different and exciting. Brandi isn't necessarily "bad". It's just that I've seen her before. She's a cliche. It's all been done before, in a million different dives. The thing with the guitar, the stool and the bleeding heart. I mean, aren't YOU tired of it all?

  • @FrightwoIf I'm not tired of guitars, no. Nor songs of love or loss. OK, I'll give you the stools.

  • @JasonRadley I think Americans, after watching 30 years of REALLY bad TV, have had their quality threshold lowered significantly enough that even the likes of Crandy Brandy looks good. I mean, these are the same people that voted George W. Bush into office, TWICE! If they didn't mind having their country run by a Baboon, why would they mind a sex-kitten pretending to be a folk singer?

  • @FrightwoIf But TV has significantly improved over the last 30 years so again your argument makes no sense. And trying to make yourself look smart by downgrading the intelligence of people whose political outlook differs from yours is a final act of desperation.

  • @JasonRadley lol Did you REALLY just say that "TV has improved over the last 30 years"? Oh my god, there are more channels but that doesn't mean TV is "better"! TV is a vast wasteland. Loud, frantic, dishonest and mind-numbing. Like YOU.

  • @FrightwoIf Go back and watch the most popular American series of the 70s and 80s - Dallas, Dynasty, Knight Rider, The A-Team - they're still enjoyable but they're trashy and rather amateurish in comparison to the top rated shows of today. Now crawl back into well-deserved obscurity.

  • @JasonRadley Need I remind you of the never ending stupidities called "Reality TV"? As if life is ever "real" when you have TV cameras and microphones in your face. Look, I believe you that you think these offerings are "good". My point is: if all you've ever had is McDonald's your whole life, you're not going to necessarily find gourmet food much better. To a mediocrity, you're going to find TV and Brandie Carlile pretty "good".

  • @FrightwoIf Need I remind you of the massive increase in the number of TV channels and other media outlets since the 1970s? Do you really think there's enough creative talent to fill these? Yet I repeat: the best of modern TV is superior in both quality and volume to the 1970s. You just need to appply some taste and discernment.

  • Comment removed

  • @FrightwoIf she's actually sitting in a chair.

  • OK Spanky...

  • @bisesik yeah okay howly...

  • You've got me, hope its pleasant. Are you calling me a "turnip?" Well, just pointing out that "Frightwolf" obviously doesn't like that entire genre of music.

  • I love her voice and this song in particular. That explosion near the end makes me miss a beat. She must come and perform for her fans in Rio, Brazil.

  • her voice sucks like shit..honesty brah.

  • @KONABOII92 u suck

  • @31alimac you suck your dadz dick.

  • @KONABOII92 Why don't you stick to kiddy videos instead of stirring the pot on grown up stuff. Go polish off your Bakugan figures and reorganize your Magic the Gathering Cards - Spanky!!!

  • @bisesik why you watch barney howly? plus you no even make sense of what you just wrote.

  • @KONABOII92 How does what I wrote (above) not make sense. It means you look at kid fights and backyard wrestling, and post kiddy anime videos, so why are you trolling a video to post and insult, when its music you have no interest in. Go watch Nick Jr. - Spanky!!! (To elaborate "Spanky" refers to you being a kid or acting like one).

  • @bisesik eh music i like, fucking her music i don't like, and posting videos about kids who do jiu jitsu could kick your white ass, and asshole i am an adult you stupid fuck, and try read my channel good. and talking about "Spanky" why don't you go spanky yourself.

  • @KONABOII92 Well that says it, so you act like a kid. However, I didn't rip your jiu jitsu vids, just your comic-con vids and backyard wrestling/fight vids. Just not necessary to cuss people upside down on the net. Pa`a ka waha Brah.....

  • @bisesik so who said I cannot cuss? you or the law? and so what if i watch comic con or backyard wrestling, why...you care? and telling me I acting like one kid, more like YOU the one acting like one child. so lady I wouldn't talk about I'm acting like a kid, plus it's not necessary (like how you said) to even care or about what people think about posting a comment on the net.

  • @KONABOII92 oh dear what a sad little person you are, that you have to look for music you don't like so that you can post a nasty comment, knowing that people like myself will respond to it, is this the only way you can get people to talk to you, you sad lonley little person, and as for the swear words, it shows your ignorance and lack of vocabulary, shame on you

  • @31alimac and your point is what?

  • @KONABOII92 Dude, you wasted your time writing that comment. There are tons of Brandi fan's who will be backing her up, including me. From what I can infer from your nasty comment, you like musicians who really shouldn't be called musicians; by that I mean, they can't sing crap, they lip sing. She is by far the most talented and has the most amazing, raw voice I have ever heard of. Please, go waste your time commenting on some Miley Cyrus crap.

  • @alyandajlover5679 so what, I still go talk shit about her, why you like beat me up howly?

  • @KONABOII92 First off, you make no sense, whatsoever. Second off, if you don't like her that much...why do you waste your time talking shit about her all the time? Do us all a favor, go listen to some crappy Miley Cyrus (who can't sing crap) and leave Brandi (the real musician) alone.

  • @alyandajlover5679 why cause you cannot handle, pussy.

  • @KONABOII92 Excuse me? Um, no, cause you're incredibly annoying.

  • @alyandajlover5679 which means you cannot handle bitch, ha ha!

  • @KONABOII92 Um, doesn't mean I can't handle it. It means, you're getting on EVERYONE'S nerves and you need to waste your life somewhere else. If I couldn't handle it, I wouldn't be responding to you. Duh. YOU can't handle how awesome and REAL Brandi's voice is.

  • @alyandajlover5679 Brandi's voice is not unlike a million other women. She's just got marketing behind her. It also doesn't help that she's attractive. This wouldn't be the first time someone confused beauty with talent. "Handsome is as handsome does", I believe is how the saying goes. When you're attractive, a mediocre voice tends to sound a WHOLE lot better. Now, go away!

  • @FrightwoIf

    You couldn't be more wrong. Her voice may not be anything spectacular, but I've rarely heard such emotion and struggle unleashed by a female singer. That is what sells. It's a good voice coupled with real emotion. Winning combination.

  • @FrightwoIf No, frightwolf, the saying goes "Stupid is as stupid does". You must have one hell of a towering talent yourself, to call her mediocre. Either that or you're a professional critic....

  • @FrightwoIf Brandi does not dress up to play the "eye candy" card. Her performances are straight forward and sincere. I can listen to her with eyes closed, and feel the message through her pure and honest vocals.

  • @alyandajlover5679 Okay so you is one cry baby then, who gives a crap of what I think & what others can say of what I said about her, it's not going to change me of what I think, fuck if you get one problem with me or anyone that has a problem about me, then come to me, I mean REALLY COME TO ME and say it to my face.

  • One of my favorite songs of all-time

  • La mejor rola en su momento

  • Brandi has a passionate, soulful, and eloquent voice.

  • oh God, her voice makes me cry

    is wonderful, in don't believe it

  • Sorry Liz,51233 I CAN'T see Kelly Clarkson doing this song. This is not her style at all! Especially when Brandi does that almost yodel thing that is so awesome. Don't get me wrong Kelly has a great voice and is a powerful singer, but it's like comparing apples to oranges. I've just got to go and get me one of this girl's albums. Seems like every song of hers is so dang good!

  • she is a wonderful song interpreter! Really excellent.

  • YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!! Brandi is such an incredible performer. Brandi, y'rock ma world gal. So, so, so, so talented. Anyone else thinking the same about Ray LaMontagne? Equally as awesome, equally as low key. Beautiful stuff!

  • i love this song

  • It's as if she is singing my story. Powerful....

  • like her so much more than all those make believe, sound effects artists - seems like the real deal.

  • heard this first on Prarie Home Companion...just...I can't describe what this makes me feel

  • a woman amongst girls! her sound is convincing... the difference btwn this woman with her guitar vs girls...

  • one of my new fav artists for sure! didn't know much about her before now.

  • I love this girl. I was quietly listening with my head phones on being very good by not humming or singing sitting waiting for my doctors appt. When it was my turn I took my headphones off and thou and behold the entire office had been listening since the headphones weren't completely plugged in. Everyone said how they liked her so I took a bow for her and went on my way.

  • @rorisno1 haha great comment. 

  • To be honest I'd never heard of this song or Brandi Carlile until a month ago when I read an interview with her in acoustic guitar magazine. Great interview that I would reccomend for any of her fans. Great song, great lyrics, she has a great voice.

  • i heard this song for the first time on amercian idol too!! I love it.

  • Alcune canzoni non smetteresti mai di ascoltarle.. Questa è una di quelle!!

  • Love this song. Tory from Austin Texa. Singer sognwrtier musician, Check out my origianl materail and sub if you like... I do a cover of Brand's Story..Namaste

  • Brandi Carlile's voice is like. a musical orgasm. I don't know how else to put it.

  • @musicaldramaqueen  Very Well Put!!

  • @musicaldramaqueen lol Awesome!

  • Her voice gives me chills down my arms.

  • WOW amazing voice

  • love her unique voice, she is wonderful

  • I would love to hear kelly clarkson cover this song. I think it would be awsome.

  • @liz51233 your retarded. kelly clarkson sucks.

  • She is incredible her voice WOW

  • All the emotion she puts into this song gives me the vapors. It's lovely.

  • Going to see the lady in Glasgow on the 29th April. Can't wait!

  • Awesome!! :)

  • I love them!

  • she is playing this June at the Telluride Bluegrass festival in Telluride Colorado. In the event any of you have never been to this venue you really should indeed try to go to this four day event. I hope to see you there

  • What an awesome voice! Just love this song.

  • Ditto what Rockistan2008 said...Heard it and had to pay attention...Beautiful!

  • Ditto what Rockistan2008 said...Heard it and had to pay attention...Beautiful!

  • I like this better than the "official" video, the ooo's are great, I love the flip she does with her voice. wow. This song means so much to me, it just sounds like a broken heart singing.

  • what an instrument!!! . . . that voice, my God!

  • Heard this on Prairie Home Companion.

    My fiancee and I were in the car. I think both of our mouths were wide open the entire time.

    Then we were shouting each other to make sure we remembered her name.

    Now I have this CD. What an amazing talent. I'm surprised I hadn't already heard of her.

  • @GameMasterX0 I had a jaw dropping moment as well my first listen to this song on WFUV in '07.  Went and Google'd her immediately and have been a fan ever since. Didn't know she was on 'Prairie Home'

  • I too heard this on Prairie Home Companion and was just blown away. Can't remember the last time I've been so moved by the passion in a singer's voice... brought tears to my eyes on the first listen.

  • Ugh! Same guitar. Same stool. Same songs. When are these performers going to start being innovative?

  • @FrightwoIf Go listen to some slipknot ya douche...

  • @bisesik omg you sound like a real neap, and if you're not from scotland, then you may never find out what that means, ha ha

  • Count me as one of those folks who heard the song on Praire Home Companion too and really dug it. I'd heard the song before, but that particular rendition really knocked my socks off. It's one of the few times in 25+ years of listening to the radio where I've pretty much wanted to stop whatever it was I was doing and just plain listen to the radio. Great song; great vocalist.

  • I heard her sing it live last night on prarie home companion and just had to listen to it over and over. What a moving performance! she is fantastic!

  • @meinu1119 Me too!! I heard her lastt night and rushed to & found this video, just amaazing!!

  • i feel like in heaven when i hear her voice

  • fantastic song!

  • Wow, everything about this was awesome! Just an excellent performance....

  • magnifica canción

  • so thats what the blue man group do for kicks.

  • She's amazing and one of the best female vocalists' of our time. Awesome in person and the twins ROCK

  • her voice is soooo strong...wow!!! she is so intense

  • WOW. She has got to be one of the most underestimated artists today.

    LOVELY ......

  • They're twins.

  • she like bald guys?

  • crank; they are Washington nazis - just kidding.  They actually wrote this song. Talented writers and musicians. This song will live forever, especially with Brandi singing it.

  • Inspiring...

  • very exhilarating...

  • OH MY GOSH I LOVE HER. I love the acoustic version and the recorded one. AUGH amazing!

  • great song, I love laceys version on ameican idol! it was amazing

  • @evykinss13 ya it was... i like hers alot better then this version

  • @herminey81013 seriously? Lacey's helium voice doesnt even come CLOSE to Brandi's raw power and emotion. Lacey sucked.

  • Love her and such a beautiful song!

  • such an AMAZING song. Oh my goodness..

    God loves you!

  • i see people doing the same thing i am looking up the song the girl on A I sung......... i remember hearing this a long time ago

  • Where can I download/buy this acoustic version? I need this for our first dance at my wedding this weekend and I've been looking for it everywhere! I need this acoustic version.

  • there is a good live acoustic version on her 'live at easy street' ep

  • that's a start. I supposes there's no version without the cheering etc?

  • @JosephB998 There is this program called audio video converter which you can google and download for free and you can take music from any video of youtube i have used this program for a while and its great!

  • That girl on American Idol just killed this song...now I'm sad :(

  • Wonderful bravo from Philipinejeann the Vocalist! 5 starzzzzzz

  • guess what..Lacey Brown and Am Idol just launched her career ..!!

  • Absolutely beautiful. Brandi, did you write this?

  • I heard this song the first time on America Idol (Lacey Brown) I liked it so much that I tracked down the original. The words are powerful! What do you think?

  • Me too.Never really got how amazing she was until I too heard the AI song and looked this up. Got a live version from "At Easy Street Records" today. She is easily the most talented singer/songwriter of the past couple of generations. Like this generations Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell.

  • the woman can SANG

  • Love HER :)

  • She is awesome!! :)
