@Koake1002 she didn't write it, but she made it hers. Kinda like how Whitney Houston didn't write I Will Always Love You. Yet it's the version everyone knows. Or how Bon Iver wrote Skinny Love. Yet Birdy is the one that made it famous.
How does this not have over a million views?! Such a great song, and when combined with her voice inflections and pitch, this is magnificent. Brandi Carlile is such a gem, so underrated, but you get the impression she's okay with that as she shines the light on other performers like Tanya Tucker, Joni Mitchell, and Wynonna Judd to name a few.
I'm known to everyone that I know and love music from all genres and eras,BUT the first time I heard this(around 3yr ago) my mate played it I sat there mesmerized with tears in my eyes. It's one of my favourite songs of all time
I can't believe I haven't seen or heard this before. What an incredible performance! Thanks Elton you've got great taste in music. I can't stop playing it either!
after all these years...this song still hits me in all the right places....places that need healing, places that have been healed. This song is a staple in the soundtrack of my life
In my life, I've heard Pat Benatar, Ann Wilson, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Kelly Clarkson, Adele and so many more wonderful female singers that at one time or another I may have thought were the best ever. But right now, I gotta go with Brandi. Just incredible!
I agree. She makes me tear up with almost of her songs. The only one I can compare is Sarah McLachlan. Saw her in concert in the early oughts and was in tears the whole time.
All of these lines across my face Tell you the story of who I am So many stories of where I've been And how I got to where I am But these stories don't mean anything When you've got no one to tell them to It's true, I was made for you I climbed across the mountain tops Swam all across the ocean blue I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules But baby, I broke them all for you Oh, because even when I was flat broke You made me feel like a million bucks You do, and I was made for you You see the smile that's on my mouth It's hiding the words that don't come out And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed They don't know my head is a mess No, they don't know who I really am And they don't know what I've been through like you do And I was made for you All of these lines across my face Tell you the story of who I am So many stories of where I've been And how I got to where I am Oh, but these stories don't mean anything When you've got no one to tell them to It's true, I was made for you Oh, yeah, well it's true that I was made for you
I am from South Africa, saw her live in my GAP year while traveling and working the usa in 2010. met the band outside the back of the venue. This was my big moment, still to this day. She is so humble and the twins too. Was great to be introduced and get a pic. Good to see they are still together making music on their land, not disbanded after all this time. Good to see they are being added to bigger lineups. They do deserve so much more exposure. They should be headlining already. I'm grateful for the exposure they get and hope that exposure turns into the exposure that makes them break though all of the walls.
Beautifully simple and majestically performed... this is my all time favorite version of this song. 2:28 is the exact moment I fell in love with Brandi Carlile.
Maybe we can all agree that Brandi's voice is SERIOULSY under-rated and 'The Story' and 'The Joke' are top 10 songs of all time - and who thinks another artist can say they have 2 in the top 100 let alone top 10
I listen tô many Brandi sonhe, and It ALL started after hearing This onde in Sara Ramirez voice. I'm a Brazilian fan of Brandi and totally in love with her voice 💜💜💜💜
One of my favorite Brandi Carlile (or other artist) tunes. Through the years, it keeps coming up on my auto-replay. I've yet to reject it. Never will. So powerful, so good...
😢😢😢 I got blown away ever since i first listened to this 😢😢song.... it makes me feel emotional and missing as well. I don't wanna stop listening to it though. It's like she sang it specifically for me. ❤❤
This is the song of my life and Brandi is the platonic crush of my life! hahaha Who doesn't tremble inside listening to this voice and pitch!!!! aaaaaa
Como sempre , linda apresentação, Brandi . Comovente , envolvente ,tocando profundamente nosso ser . Escuto essa canção há mais de 10 anos já e nunca me canso de ouvi-la . Tem um significado grande pra mim . Obrigada pelo seu bom trabalho , sempre com excelência . ❤️
Damn, I am Hispanic and I’ve always listened a lot of music in English and I’ve never listen this singer before. I just can’t believe it. I just came because randomly watched “The Lucky one” movie right now and this song is part of the soundtrack. What I’ve been missing, she just became one of my favourite voices. Damn
Unbelievable. I learned this years ago. Had a female vocalist that just Nailed it! My hair stood from the conviction of the Vocals Every Time ❤️ like Wow! Vocal BEAST
“And all of my friends who think I’m blessed they don’t know my head is a mess” 🖤
Best line ever!!! ♥️
But you do…
😢
This is one of the greatest songs ever written.
To bad she didn’t write it
Written by Phil Hanseroth standing directly next to her on this stage.
@Koake1002 she didn't write it, but she made it hers. Kinda like how Whitney Houston didn't write I Will Always Love You. Yet it's the version everyone knows. Or how Bon Iver wrote Skinny Love. Yet Birdy is the one that made it famous.
I love listening to her singing this
Like 15 years later and this track still finds its way into nearly every playlist I make.
#same
same 🥺
I'm the lucky one tonight ! It's the fist time i hear this song...And it s so beautiful! What a voice!
I’m embarrassed to say that I only ‘discovered’ her in the past year or so. Big fan! Great song this one too.
Im in the same boat! Unbelievable artist!
Don't worry, i discoverd it tonight.... What a beautiful surprise !
Same here . This is so beautiful ❤️
same for me! And it's because of an artist (Katie Pruitt) who was supporting her on a recent tour. Now im a huge fan
Same here in greys anatomy
When your whole body shakes and you've got tears of joy when Brandy's voice breaks. So beautiful.
for those who dont know: this is what "perfectly" in tune vocals without autotune sound like
❤😂lmfao!!! Luv it!!!! Lolol!!!😂❤
Anne Murry has PERFECT pitch & can harmonize with ANYONE.
Another great example plus Matt Mays❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lungs of a banshee, voice of an angel… GREATEST song ever, thank you for being!!! 🤟🏻
Unbelievably underrated song.........I can listen to it on repeat for days
D I T T O !!!
Agreed❤

If people were aware there would be a million views, so goes the not being played on Mainstream Radio
GIRL!!!!! SLAAAAAAY 🔥💥🔥
In the mean time she has Grammy nominations and also a Grammy, so all's well!
It's got 55 millions on the studio version?
This was our first dance at our wedding in September 2021. Our band and many guests said it was the best song they've heard in a long time :)
That's great to hear! It dawned on me today this needs to be my wedding song. It's so perfect for my fiance and I.
I'm known to everyone that I know and love music from all genres and eras,BUT the first time I heard this(around 3yr ago) my mate played it I sat there mesmerized with tears in my eyes. It's one of my favourite songs of all time
Genuinely one of the most talented people on the planet
you bet
The rasp is so good! I just love her! Pure energy and emotion.
She uses it like no other vocalist
I can't believe I haven't seen or heard this before. What an incredible performance! Thanks Elton you've got great taste in music. I can't stop playing it either!
I'm sorry, but why are you thinking Elton?

agree ! you forgot k.d. lang
And Annie Lennox.
I agree. She makes me tear up with almost of her songs. The only one I can compare is Sarah McLachlan. Saw her in concert in the early oughts and was in tears the whole time.
She is above and beyond all of them
Now 2022 and Brandi just keeps getting better - but this will always be one of my favourite tracks!
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true, I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby, I broke them all for you
Oh, because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do, and I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
Oh, but these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true, I was made for you
Oh, yeah, well it's true that I was made for you
Living a life of addiction and being delivered from it 5 years ago and being blessed with a wife, kids, and grandkids. This song hits hard
Me and my wife had this as our first dance music at our wedding back in 2012
How come I just discovered this master piece, holy hell, that voice when she pushes. Amazed
You and me both. Better late than never. Saw her last night at the Hollywood Bowl. She was... (no words) 🎉😮😊❤
She is so amazing! Very powerful and such a great song. Conjures up lost loves, broken hearts.
We really don't hear much about Brandi Carlile here in the UK, such a shame as she is such an amazing talent with a beautiful voice
Her voice is so beautiful.
Astonishing. Where has she been all my life. Big thanks to Elton. I’m all in!
Outstanding performance!❤
A rare performer that sounds like their recorded material live .
She sounds exactly the same live. Amazing!
Simply out of this world. This song give me goosebumps.
Only discovered this great song last night watching Jools Holland.
Can't stop playing it, what a voice, what lyrics, absolutely amazing. Love it.
Goosebumps such a talented singer
Yeah the band was tight as hell. Twins Harmonies and Brandis yodel rasp. A masterful performance. Thank you BBC for capturing this ✌️
On repeat forever....love it
I'm so glad to hear such a music in this era
A memorable performance. Stands out - even for someone who does not particularly like pop/rock genre.
There are just some songs and the way they are performed is just awe inspiring. This is another. xx
One of our greatest musician-songwriter of our time!!
I am from South Africa, saw her live in my GAP year while traveling and working the usa in 2010. met the band outside the back of the venue. This was my big moment, still to this day.

One of the most beautiful songs and voice I ever heard.
My god, it’s an amazing song and performance on its own but when someone you have loved for a lifetime sends it to you, there are no words only tears.
Love her voice!
incredible performance!
Beautifully simple and majestically performed... this is my all time favorite version of this song.
2:28 is the exact moment I fell in love with Brandi Carlile.

never felt any song like that deep in my hearth and never cried that much and with all my feelings…
Idem
Yeah!! Life is too short for bad music. Since one year I only listen to Brandi Carlile. What a voice!! Touches me day after day!!
I listen tô many Brandi sonhe, and It ALL started after hearing This onde in Sara Ramirez voice. I'm a Brazilian fan of Brandi and totally in love with her voice 💜💜💜💜

All of those lines across her face that we can't see. I Love her.
Now in 2023, she finally has some beautiful laugh lines at the corners of her eyes.
This is perfect.
Wow! Great performance 👏
What a voice, brilliant!!
BBC Archive is fire..just like this song..
“But these stories don’t mean anything when you’ve got no one to tell them to.” So beautiful. She is amazing.
It doesn't get any better than that, does it?
Oh! That sounds good!!!
you're darn right!
Thank you for a timeless amazing song.... Your band of course is spectacular.
Fricking amazing!!! 😍😍😍
