      And I love that they split the royalties 3 ways equally no matter who the lead writer is. Phil and Tim are each amazing songwriters, IIRC, Phil wrote "The Story" and Tim wrote "Most of All", which are two of the Brandi Carlile band's top songs.

    I love that this song is so well received. It's about time we got country music sung from different perspectives. I hope this song and group opens more doors for more queer artists and songs to feature in country music. Progress! Yay!

      How many "straight" songs have been written by closeted gay artists? Also, these people need to read the credits to many of their favorite songs which have been written and performed by totally different people. It's a beautiful collaboration of talent.

    I see you watch her from across the room
    Dancing her home in your mind
    Well it takes more than whiskey to make that flower bloom
    And by the third drink you'll find out she's mine
    I've loved her in secret
    I've loved her out loud
    The sky hasn't always been blue
    And it might last forever
    Or it might not work out
    But if she ever leaves me it won't be for you
    She loves wild horses and tumbling dice
    She don't have a single tattoo
    She'll drink all the liquor and leave you the ice
    That's too much cologne, she likes perfume
    I've loved her in secret
    I've loved her out loud
    The sky hasn't always been blue
    And it might last forever
    Or it might not work out
    But if she ever leaves me it won't be for you
    If she ever leaves it's gonna be for a woman with more time
    Who's not afraid to let her dreams come true
    If she ever gives her careful heart to somebody new
    Well it won't be for a cowboy like you
    Well I've loved her in secret
    I've loved her out loud
    The sky hasn't always been blue
    It might last forever
    Or it might not work out
    But if she ever leaves me it won't be for you
    If she ever leaves me it won't be for you

    I was listening to this performance live across East Passage, in Jamestown, RI. Nice to have these great clips of the whole weekend. However, Jason Isbell must know that his song bears more than a passing resemblance to "Bartender's Blues"....by George Jones and, later, James Taylor. If you're going to borrow, then borrow from the best!

    Er erzählt, dass anfangs manche dachten, der Song wäre einer wie jeder sexuelle Country-Pop
    und dann kam ein besonderer Tag. Da stellt er sich vor, dass vielleicht nur Brandi Carlile dieses Lied singen würde und es ein schwuler Country-Song wäre. Also hat er das Lied aus dieser Perspektive geschrieben Amanda und ihr erster Chris Hopkins aus Nashville Tennessee zu sein. Nur was er nicht bedacht hat war, dass sie dieses Lied mitnehmen müssen, um es Carla zu bringen und sagt dann, dass er nicht schwul ist, also nicht die ganze Zeit. Dann dacht er, er nimmt einen Bürgerrechtsfilm von Spike Lee. Aber sie liebt diesen schwulen Country-Song und sie lieben den auch.
