Something about this song. It kills me. Such a profound melody. It's beautiful and it rocks like hell. And her voice is just amazing. This is perfection.
Her voice rips your guts out. Every once in a while, an Artist comes up with a hit that breaks free of the Earth's gravity and shakes the ground beneath our feet.
@@dirod7290 I have learned that the bad feelings do subside after some time, but they will never go away. you never just grieve and forget, like people will suggest. Good luck to you and your family.
Sorry - but in my humble opinion - this is one of best songs EVER WRITTEN - and let's not forget the stunningly incredible voice delivering this masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!
obsessed with her and the twins ever since the Grammy's. watching whatever she has on UA-cam.. she doesn't need a studio, her live performances are flawless
I saw her perform once live and like 2/3rds in she said “sorry I have a chest cold and couldn’t give you my best!” And I was in shock because I had been thinking “wow she might have the best voice I’ve ever heard live”
Red Rocks.. 2011. I'm walking in. Wife and I. She's belting out this song. Man I'm telling you you it dropped me to a knee. She's that amazing live. Blew my mind. Hit me emotionally.
For me this song is one of the greatest compositions of melody and lyrics ever to come out of American popular music. So much emotional truth and subtlety. And then Brandi puts every ounce of honesty and emotion into the delivery: this is one of her distinguishing characteristics--I have never seen or heard a performance in which she did not seem to be totally invested in the story of the song. Rarely have we seen such a combination of gorgeous voice, brilliant songwriting and charismatic performance. She will never be as famous as Lady Gaga or Beyonce, but she is every bit as good. Though this particular song was written by the twins, Brandi's songwriting catalog is brilliant. Like Dylan, Paul Simon, the Beatles, she points us to deep truths about life through poetry and song.
I'm a guy in my 40s and never married. If I ever do get married, this is the one thing I don't want to budge on - this is the first dance. You want imported Tahitian palm fronds and hand-squeezed key lime pie? Sure, whatever makes you happy. This is our first dance.
This is the song that made me find out who this fantastic woman was. Been in love with her music ever since. So happy that the Grammy's really introduced her to the world!
An amazing song - a Phil Hanseroth masterpiece - have been listening since it was released (early 2000s I think). I know this is an old video but thank you for sharing.
You know a perfect artist when they performing live, she's more than perfect to me, the voice, the music , the lyrics and these touches you... lots of love from Meghalaya ❤
WHAT A BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE BY BRANDI.......THANK YOU MY SWEET LU FOR SHAING THIS LADY'S TALENT & VOICE WITH ME.....I LOVE THE RASPINESS IN HER VOICE AT CERTAIN TIMES.....FOLK ROCK @ IT'S BEST.........BRAVOS !
One of the best song in the world ,i could cry ,she moves all the sentiments even if i don't know all the words of THE STORY ! Big embrace to you Brenda Carlile !
I love this song. Never heard it before. Everyone, I shared it with also liked it. I will continue to listen to this artist. A friend shared it with me and I am glad.
Powerful .... i really feel this rendition this song...i feel the journey how her life was burned in her soul..her joys and pain on her heart is like a mirror reflecting .....the story....she finds someone who gets her accepts as is and joins her journey love ....soul mates do happen..moving on to find mine
I first this song on a British show and it was sung by LeAnn Rimes so I searched for who wrote it and who first recorded it. I had never heard of Brandi Carlile or the Hanseroth twins. Well I have now, a vastly underrated band and one of my favourites. I am surprised The Story was not a hit in the UK for Brandi and from my research she is little known, a great pity.
Unbelievalbe! Is even from this earth. I love this song so increadably mutch!!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩 It is heavenly,and amazing to sing myself also....in my apartment 😍 I have no words to describe the beauty of this song,really !😍🤩🥰❤️
Who can't relate to these LYRICS??? Brilliant phrasing & feel with the power chords!!! Best part is that people are singing its praises in on this genre-crossing, sincere power ballad 14 years later. 2007 this is I believe.
Something about this song. It kills me. Such a profound melody. It's beautiful and it rocks like hell. And her voice is just amazing. This is perfection.
agreed
It is indeed one of the most rounded beautiful compositions ever. I weep every time I hear it
@@steveduncan9256 Sim
It rips like hell because it applies to most people
No one. No one sings it like her.
Her voice rips your guts out. Every once in a while, an Artist comes up with a hit that breaks free of the Earth's gravity and shakes the ground beneath our feet.
Even better now
That's how I feel about "The Joke." 🙂❤
most accurate statement 🥹❤️
Couldn't agree more
That woman's soul vibrates at another level. She's just sharing what it feels like with the rest of us. Simply Unreal.
Brandi is so right when she says "your stories don't mean anything, if you got no one to tell them to." simply haunting.
@@dirod7290 thank'you I lost my wife 15 years ago, no one to tell my stories to now.
r pieces my father died yesterday, he was so young, why??????????.............
@@dirod7290 my sincere condolences. "why?" is a question that you
will never find a satisfactory answer to. I hope you eventually find some peace.
r pieces thanks bro.. this feeling is worse than anything i ever had.

No need to apologise! It's fantastic!😁
Avec Alanis Morissette !!!!
Underrated...most talented band, performer, a writer in a long time.
to hess She’s great, but she didn’t write this song.
Dolly Parton wrote this song.
@Ray The twins are part of Brandi. They are inseparable
@@Aphroe1 No.Dolly sang it after Brandi asked her to sing it
she is not underrated.
I'M 70, AND SHE JUST BLOWS ME AWAY.
@ John Penry
I'm 73 and feel the same
Her voice is a thuntherstorm!!!!!
wow..that is a PERFECT way to describe it!
YES!!!
The best performance of her life. I cried.
Every time
obsessed with her and the twins ever since the Grammy's. watching whatever she has on UA-cam.. she doesn't need a studio, her live performances are flawless
I saw her perform once live and like 2/3rds in she said “sorry I have a chest cold and couldn’t give you my best!” And I was in shock because I had been thinking “wow she might have the best voice I’ve ever heard live”
Her super power is live performance. She reaches into our guts and souls and kills it every time.
Amazing, one of todays best female vocalists, no doubt about it!

The power, subtlety, grit, lyrics and dynamics of this song is simply...beautiful. It’s true
She is one of the most talented song writers we have.
Don’t think she wrote that
She didn't write this.
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. And that voice is just so good and bad ass at the same time.
Trueeeee!
Brandi is the real singer...her voice is so spectacular and performance. I feel I have a crush on her in my 60´s......Kisses
My God.. what a voice.... we don't hear or see enough of her!
your coming to the party late.

It is a great song
breakdanceattiffanys this was my first dance when I got married in 2018. 👍
breakdanceattiffanys this is what i would walk down the aisle to
Amen brother!!
I hope you find her soon! 💖🥰
She is awesome performer, woman, human being. Finally getting more and more well deserved recognition.
This is the song that made me find out who this fantastic woman was. Been in love with her music ever since. So happy that the Grammy's really introduced her to the world!
I just found this song...where have I been? Amazing.
I just found this song two days ago and love it and the band, the voice and the performance.
Check out her other stuff! Turpentine, The Joke, The Eye, Mainstream Kid, Hearts Content, and That Year (sad one but really one of my favorite).
@@jeremycastro3712 will do!
I have a serious girl crush on her. Sooo ridiculously talented. I can't even find words to describe her & her band!!
yea love this band and i crush on the drummer : )
You and me both
I had a crush on her, told her, and it pissed her off.
