This song is incredible and can apply to so many things; alcohol, mental illness, ill-temperament. It’s just so perfectly written and cuts to the bone.
While I was hoping this song was going to be about a Mama Werewolf protecting her pack from a nest of Vampires, the actual song was better than my imagination
Mama Werewolf Brandi Carlile “Broken Horses” is the sixth song on Brandi Carlile’s seventh studio album, In These Silent Days. In the lyrics, Carlile speaks to her children Shooter Jennings & Dave Cobb [Verse 1] Your mama is a werewolf with long, sharp teeth I'm up all night when the world should sleep I curse the darkness when it's killin' time I got a river of fear runnin' through my mind When the moon shines through those parting clouds I hear the call and I howl out loud I stalk the streets where the shadows lie And I pray to God that that sun will rise But that sun don't always rise [Chorus] If my good intentions go runnin' wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one? My silver bullet in the gun [Verse 2] When I wake and, and I'm reborn My body aches and my soul is torn I search the void for any clues And I feel ashamed for what I've put you through This curse a gift from my father's kin They fought the beast I feel within But we don't talk about it and we don't call its name We just carry on, hopin' it'll change But we know it'll never change [Chorus] If my good intentions go runnin' wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one? My silver bullet in the gun Would you strike me down right where I stand? Would you change me back, make me kind again? Won't you promise me you'll be the one? My silver bullet in the gun [Chorus] If my good intentions go runnin' wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one? My silver bullet in the gun Would you strike me down right where I stand? Would you change me back, make me kind again? Won't you promise me you'll be the one? My silver bullet in the gun
Listen to this song on the live that actress Sarah Paulson did on Instagram. And soon I discovered this splendid artist! I always listen to your songs, Brandi. It's adorable! Hugs from Brazil 🌹🇧🇷
This fiery song communicates my deep love for and protection of my beautiful and gifted children together with my empathetic sadness at and fear of my weakness. I had never come across a song that captured and truly nailed this. In fact, Brandi articulated this dichotomy for me in such a powerful way it helped me see and better understand myself - and that, for better or worse, I am not alone.
When I first heard this song I thought of the relationship between a child and a parent, but more of a relationship the parent had with mental illness like bipolar, one minute she is the wolf and the next she is herself. That’s what I think of, not just a argument or troubled relationship between child and parent but a heart wrenching experience of a child having to pull their parent out of a bipolar episode or another form of episode due to a mental illness
There’s actually a disorder called PMDD. A lot of people with uteruses have it (many undiagnosed sadly). I’ve read many people refers to their symptoms presenting as a werewolf taking you hostage on a seemingly never ending cycle
I'm currently doing an outpatient program at my local mental health hospital, and this song speaks to me heart so much right now. The whole entire reason I'm doing this is to be a better mom to my babies. I hate that they worry about me.
This one struck really hard. I give my children full permission to tell me if I’ve hurt them. I know I cannot be perfect, and it’s something I need them to know I am aware of. I need them to be able to come to me, and I’m willing to take the pain of knowing what I’ve done, if I can keep raising them up higher and higher and loving them the way they need to be loved.
Love breeds love...do not, please, become your child's whipping post, doormat or ATM out of inflicted guilt...please, you may not have the strength to stand back up by yourself, again. Prayers & blessings all...
@@dianacrow7509 I hear you, and see what you’re saying. But, in my case, my girls don’t have any desire to take advantage or punish me for mistakes. It’s an internal thing, and comes from being an empath. I just want them to be emotionally healthy individuals. By allowing them the freedom for open communication to express hurts without letting my pride get in the way, helps them to deal with anything from the past sooner vs. 15-20 years down the road. I can own and accept my faults as their mother with grace. My parents did not allow this, and I’m still dealing with things as a 51-year-old. I don’t want this for my daughters..
This was the deep truth, hard-hitting, look in the mirror and see yourself song on the album for me. It was both difficult and sad and eloquently powerful - an artistic weave of straight honesty and hope.
I never liked country music. I moved to the states, drove through the mountains of the PNW and the only station available was country, heard this song and loved it!
Sometimes you do your best and still hurt people, so don’t beat yourself up parents. You can learn to do better from your kids, and they will learn to be resilient and speak their truths if you can listen when they say that they hurt. Stay gentle applies to parents, too!
I heard one tune from Brandie Carlile and bought two tickets for myself and my mom. The concert was around Hocking Hills College area, "down in the hollar" as they say here in Ohio. Mom was over 65 then, with flowers in her hair and had too much fun. Such a beautiful memory, of my momma werewolf.
Same thing happened to me 💯. I could not believe my ears. I think it was the Outlaw station on Sirius XM. Pulled over to pull it up on UA-cam and add it to my folder.
Coudn't cry for years but this song touched me so deep, that I cried several times today. I also can't stop listening. It feels so relieving! Love this gorgeous song. Its my absolute favorite from this great album. Hope Brandi an the twins will come for a concert to germany some day 😍
I think that I know what you are experiencing - Brandi's music, her voice and her words have a very similiar effect on me. And, yes, I also hope *so* much to get the chance to hear them live one day...
@@Arbrarabenkind It's really crazy. Before Brandi, I never experienced songs that made me so emotional, relieved, calm and relaxed simultaneously. I'm a bit dissapointed that I discovered her music so late. Also love her authenticity😊 I really loved the streams on veeps. Hope there will be soon an new one. And yeah, seeing a concert of her one day will last, but I'm sure that that dream will come true, one day...
I really have no idea were this effect comes from - and certainly not the right words to explain it in English - but I think the authenticity you mentioned is an important element to it. It feels like she is so true to herself that it brings me nearer to my own true self. And somehow I can recongnize feelings I was never able to understand before because she gives me an example how to express them - or simply the certainty that they are valuable? I don't know.
Trying every day to be a better human and a better mother and this song just hit me right in the conciounce! I think many of us forget we are human and we make mistakes and we need to apologize to our kids. I may be a broken human but I’m trying with every ounce of my being to be the mother they deserve.
We try to turn wolf at the right time, sometimes we don't turn back in time. I have been brought down to size by a person I birthed. It is humbling, but it actually makes me proud that I, along with others, put forth a good man.
They have a false account and cloned account of my son. They also have him in a fictitious lawsuit. I have all the taped recordings of him and I confused as hell about it all. They also think my autistic daughter is their high priestess. I am the only one fighting these pirates and nazis. But hey they can sing. 33 degree killing off the mother Disney movie and Bohemian cremation of Care. Her dad is the psycho but they love him because he sold us out for ass money, high paying strippers and celebrity provacateurs to be exploited in 2005 even though he is a violent heartless narcissist. They protect their own.
Your mama is a werewolf With long sharp teeth I'm up all night When the world should sleep I curse the darkness When it's killing time I got a river of fear Running through my mind When the moon shines through Those parting clouds I hear the cold And I howl out loud I stalk the streets Where the shadows lie And I pray to God That that sun will rise But that sun don't always rise If my good intentions go running wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one My silver bullet in the gun When I awake And I'm reborn My body aches And my soul is torn I search the void For any clue And I feel ashamed For what I put you through This curse I get From my father's kin They fought the beast I feel within We don't talk about it And we don't call it's name We just carry on Hoping it'll change Though we know it'll never change If my good intentions go running wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one My silver bullet in the gun Would you strike me down Right where I stand? Would you change me back? Make me kind again? Won't you promise me you'll be the one My silver bullet in the gun Ah... Ah... Ah... Dah, dah, dah If my good intentions go running wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one My silver bullet in the gun Would you strike me down Right where I stand? Would you change me back? Make me kind again? Won't you promise me you'll be the one My silver bullet in the gun
I have to admit I loved this song after I heard this from Sarah's IG post. Is it too late to know you? I looped all of your albums today, and I can't believe I didn't listen to these fantastic songs.
🌹This song is another beauty by Brandi Carlile. I'm sure every Mama feels like a Mama🐺Werewolf every once in awhile🤦🏻♀️I know I do, I have 3 male cubs and 2 are gen-xers and ones a millenial and all three are on my last-nerve.😂 We each have a🤍white and🖤black🐺werewolf deep inside and the🖤black🐺werewolf keeps trying to come back. I thank the Lord🤍light overcomes🖤darkness. 👏🏻Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦✌🏻🎶♥️🇺🇸✨🌎💫
so in the recording, when she says “when the moon SHINES the room” at 0:23 that “shines” word is buried, sounds like a mistake. Anyone?? It also happens elsewhere.
Fascinating perspective. I'd like to hear Brandi's explanation of it. It was vaguely brought up in her interview with Glennon Doyle. I know she likes listeners to self-interpret though.
Stop using chris Cornell's name to bounce your success. Stop covering his songs stop bouncing off his bands name to gain clout. Leave it, hes dead we are satisfied. You covered two easy ass songs anyone could. I'm not trying to be mean but it feels a bit disrespectful at this point.

@@kellee1722 im not talking about this song, shes been quoted recently saying she'd like to be the soundgarden lead singer. 85k veiws.....wow super impressed
@@thoughtgarden8090 who cares? Someone's gotta be if Soundgarden wants to continue. Why would it be more disrespectful for Brandi to do it than whatever other musician? Unfortunately Chris is gone.
@@kellee1722 ya and so is soundgarden because chris was soundgarden. They need to let the band rest instead of going into mediocrity like AIC did. No true fan wants soundgarden to continue we want Chris's hard fought contributions left the fuck alone.

This song is incredible and can apply to so many things; alcohol, mental illness, ill-temperament. It’s just so perfectly written and cuts to the bone.
Mental illness doesn't climb the walls of a house at night at 2 tons to devour families. Earth is old climb out of the pot boiling frog.
Also supernatural possession and transfiguration.
While I was hoping this song was going to be about a Mama Werewolf protecting her pack from a nest of Vampires, the actual song was better than my imagination
Mama Werewolf
Brandi Carlile
“Broken Horses” is the sixth song on Brandi Carlile’s seventh studio album, In These Silent Days. In the lyrics, Carlile speaks to her children
Shooter Jennings & Dave Cobb
[Verse 1]
Your mama is a werewolf with long, sharp teeth
I'm up all night when the world should sleep
I curse the darkness when it's killin' time
I got a river of fear runnin' through my mind
When the moon shines through those parting clouds
I hear the call and I howl out loud
I stalk the streets where the shadows lie
And I pray to God that that sun will rise
But that sun don't always rise
[Chorus]
If my good intentions go runnin' wild
If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
My silver bullet in the gun
[Verse 2]
When I wake and, and I'm reborn
My body aches and my soul is torn
I search the void for any clues
And I feel ashamed for what I've put you through
This curse a gift from my father's kin
They fought the beast I feel within
But we don't talk about it and we don't call its name
We just carry on, hopin' it'll change
But we know it'll never change
[Chorus]
If my good intentions go runnin' wild
If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
My silver bullet in the gun
Would you strike me down right where I stand?
Would you change me back, make me kind again?
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
My silver bullet in the gun
[Chorus]
If my good intentions go runnin' wild
If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
My silver bullet in the gun
Would you strike me down right where I stand?
Would you change me back, make me kind again?
Won't you promise me you'll be the one?
My silver bullet in the gun
Listen to this song on the live that actress Sarah Paulson did on Instagram. And soon I discovered this splendid artist! I always listen to your songs, Brandi. It's adorable!
Hugs from Brazil 🌹🇧🇷
This is also how I discovered it ❤
As a parent who's also an imperfect human, this song is everything.
This fiery song communicates my deep love for and protection of my beautiful and gifted children together with my empathetic sadness at and fear of my weakness. I had never come across a song that captured and truly nailed this. In fact, Brandi articulated this dichotomy for me in such a powerful way it helped me see and better understand myself - and that, for better or worse, I am not alone.
When I layed down on a quiet couch and first listened to the album, this one hit me right in the heart. Bawled like a baby. I sing it to my kid now.
When I first heard this song I thought of the relationship between a child and a parent, but more of a relationship the parent had with mental illness like bipolar, one minute she is the wolf and the next she is herself. That’s what I think of, not just a argument or troubled relationship between child and parent but a heart wrenching experience of a child having to pull their parent out of a bipolar episode or another form of episode due to a mental illness
That. Was said about as well as anything can be said. Simple. Powerful, yet full of empathy. Well said...Bri Jones!!🌹🌹🌹
Couldn't have said it any better
There’s actually a disorder called PMDD. A lot of people with uteruses have it (many undiagnosed sadly). I’ve read many people refers to their symptoms presenting as a werewolf taking you hostage on a seemingly never ending cycle
That’s exactly what it’s about IMHO
I'm currently doing an outpatient program at my local mental health hospital, and this song speaks to me heart so much right now. The whole entire reason I'm doing this is to be a better mom to my babies. I hate that they worry about me.

I need them to be able to come to me, and I’m willing to take the pain of knowing what I’ve done, if I can keep raising them up higher and higher and loving them the way they need to be loved.
I agree. I’ve told mine the same. This song is bringing tears to my eyes…
Love breeds love...do not, please, become your child's whipping post, doormat or ATM out of inflicted guilt...please, you may not have the strength to stand back up by yourself, again.
Prayers & blessings all...

@@dianacrow7509 definitely need a balance there along with good boundaries. ❤️
Something my mother never did. Be vulnerable, and admit imperfection.
Brandi teaching how to be a better parent one song at a time ❤
I was thinking of my late mother on a drive home. Then this song came on. I’d like to believe she was reaching to me at that moment ❤
They fought the beast I felt within 😳 DAMN

I am absolutely OBSESSED with this song... 'Right on time' might be a showstopper, but this is just... brilliant!
Sometimes you do your best and still hurt people, so don’t beat yourself up parents. You can learn to do better from your kids, and they will learn to be resilient and speak their truths if you can listen when they say that they hurt. Stay gentle applies to parents, too!

In floods of tears… I never was the silver bullet
This song really speaks to me.
Your music is so beautiful, Brandi.🤍
Just wow 🥰 Why would anyone dislike this, nuts!!!!
Maybe someone who has lost a child or a person whos child isn't speaking to them 🤷♀️
Your mama is a werewolf
With long sharp teeth
I'm up all night
When the world should sleep
I curse the darkness
When it's killing time
I got a river of fear
Running through my mind
When the moon shines through
Those parting clouds
I hear the cold
And I howl out loud
I stalk the streets
Where the shadows lie
And I pray to God
That that sun will rise
But that sun don't always rise
If my good intentions go running wild
If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
Won't you promise me you'll be the one
My silver bullet in the gun
When I awake
And I'm reborn
My body aches
And my soul is torn
I search the void
For any clue
And I feel ashamed
For what I put you through
This curse I get
From my father's kin
They fought the beast
I feel within
We don't talk about it
And we don't call it's name
We just carry on
Hoping it'll change
Though we know it'll never change
If my good intentions go running wild
If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
Won't you promise me you'll be the one
My silver bullet in the gun
Would you strike me down
Right where I stand?
Would you change me back?
Make me kind again?
Won't you promise me you'll be the one
My silver bullet in the gun
Ah...
Ah...
Ah...
Dah, dah, dah
If my good intentions go running wild
If I cause you pain, my own sweet child
Won't you promise me you'll be the one
My silver bullet in the gun
Would you strike me down
Right where I stand?
Would you change me back?
Make me kind again?
Won't you promise me you'll be the one
My silver bullet in the gun
I keep coming back to this incredible song, one of the best on the album
just in love with this artist 💗

Fascinating perspective. I'd like to hear Brandi's explanation of it. It was vaguely brought up in her interview with Glennon Doyle. I know she likes listeners to self-interpret though.

Sarah Paulson approved
What did she do? She was so natural. This is ridiculous. I reckon music can’t save me now I am so fucking sad.
