Brody Dalle: NPR Music Field Recordings

- Throughout her career, punk icon Brody Dalle has embraced her aggressive side. Best known as the lead singer of The Distillers and Spinnerette, Dalle has a sandpaper- and velvet-tinged voice that speaks to rebellious young punks who are curious about the world yet vulnerable to its sharp edges. "I've never understood why there was such a fuss about aggressive women in music," Dalle says. "To me, aggression is a human instinct. ... I've felt provoked for most of my life, especially as a child. I guess I've carried those feelings into my songs."
So it was a pleasant surprise that Dalle was open to the challenge of crafting a stripped-down version of her song "Dressed in Dreams." An anthem about getting back up when you've been kicked down, the song is personal to Dalle: After overcoming addiction, she almost immediately faced a brutal bout of postpartum depression. "I had a hard time getting myself up and running before I wrote this record," she says. "I felt worthless. I was embarrassed and lost."
Luckily, Dalle was able to use her songwriting as a way to fight back. Earlier this year, she released Diploid Love, her first solo album, and she says she happily embraces her day-to-day life as a working rock mom and wife. As Dalle set up her gear at New York City's Panna II, we noticed the way the chili-pepper strands that covered every surface of the restaurant bathed her in a weirdly fierce yet serene red light. They provide a nice little visual metaphor for the way raging against the darkest points in life can help bring you into the light.

It's 2023 and I've been watching this video at least once a week for 9 years. It's one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen and it taught me how to scream when I most needed it. Love you, Brody.
If you fell for her once, you will fall for her over and over again. Amazing performance.
Truth! ❤
When I was in the beginning of college, she released this album and this song made me feel so much less lonely and it felt like the hug that I neeed at the time. I stand with you Brody Dalle.
She ALWAYS gives such a genuine and raw performance. Punk personified. Love it.
This song gave me a lot of hope at a time when i needed it. You can feel the heart in her music everytimr.
Found this song years back and it’s something else hearing it now.
You should get her on tiny desk
her screams and growls are always perfect and in the right tunes
Growls?
The first time I heard this song it made me cry-That's the power of a brilliant song writer. NEVER give up or quit Brody xxx
Me too.
Still crying.
It makes me feel something again...I'm not used to this...fuck.
Where is the sun?
You're numb and, you're numb and dumb
Please, please I need the seeds of change
It's wearing a new dream
It's ripping at the seams, I've come undone
And there is one place left to run
And that is...
Never let yourself give in
When you're trying to start again
Put on your dreams and let's go
Never let yourself give in
When you're trying to start again
Put on your dreams and let's go
I've come so far and gone so
And gone so low, I've fallen in decay
Always try to find a way
Out and up to better days
Are waiting for me
And I will come dressed up in dreams
Never let yourself give in
When you're trying to start again
Put on your dreams and let's go
Never let yourself give in
When you're trying to start again
Put on your dreams and let's go
Never let yourself give in
When you're trying to start again
Put on your dreams and let's go
Never let yourself give in
When you're trying to start again
Put on your dreams and let's go
I won't give up at all
I want the freedom to dream the impossible
I will make it real
I won't give up at all
I want the freedom to dream the impossible
I will make it real
I won't give up at all
I want the freedom to dream the impossible
I will make it
There is definitely a place in music that can only be filled by Brody. Not only is she talented but such a genuine human being. I had the chance to meet her in July At the A &R music bar in Ohio. Small Venue... she took the time to meet and hug everyone who stayed after the show. She wiped away my tears and hugged me and I can honestly say it was the best day of my life other than my sons birth. Love her so much. XOXOOX BRODY. Keep making music. Coming from someone who also has been provoked her whole life. I need you! You write the music of so many souls.
sspanos1 you were lucky that you caught her on a good day. I saw her couple years ago in Chicago, small venue. She refused to meet any fans.
The rest of the band came out. Talked to her guitar player. I came to see Brody. She went solo for a reason. Yet she refused to meet her fans. So yeah.
@@deadringer333 she's still human, she has issues like everyone else...you see someone whose talent you appreciate try a little respect, understanding, and empathy... you aren't as entitled as you might think
@@dmcrew4968 I never said I was entitled. I was sharing my experience. Good day!
Damn.. Dat girl and her lyrics. Honestly she is one of the best songwriter I've ever heard - and that comes from someone who listens to almost every music genre. Her lyrics are somehow perfect. They are never too hard to understand because of using random terms and try to sound smart but become to be just senseless. HER lyrics are smart and easy to understand, but still let the freedom of interpretation. And except for that she isn't like that 100% technical perfect singer so it is exciting to listen to her. You hear her singing her heart out and she really means what she sings. It's not like she is just trying to comfort the listeners ears but also their mind and heart.. sounds cheesy as shit but I hope you know what I mean.
So.. Brody is the perfect singer to me. I adore her voice. I am always fascinated by her lyrical talent. I love her/her band's music. I apprecciate her attitude (well what I saw in interviews and what I read from people who actually met her). And well.. she is one beautiful woman :D
+Fissa4 Right on... I'm no musician, but I couldn't have said it better, I loved her in the Distillers... the total raw energy... who could stand against it?
I totally agree. ❤
Put on your dreams and let's go!
awesome I love her voice and she's so pretty
😈
As a casual fan, I agree..
Where is the sun?
You're numb and dumb
Please I need the seeds of change
It's wearing a new dream
It's ripping at the seams
I've come undone
And there is one place left to run ,,.and that is,..
Never let yourself give in
When you're trying to start again
Put on your dreams and let's go
I've come so far and gone so low
I've fallen in decay
Always try to find a way out and up to better days
Are waiting for me
And I will come dressed up in dreams
Never let yourself give in
When you're trying to start again
Put on your dreams and let's go
I won't give up at all
I want the freedom to dream the impossible
I will make it real
herrottenheart Thanx for the lyrics. Now that I understand her lyrics, I love the song so much more.
Jesper Locher i have no idea
Jesper Locher I would say that it's about her career after The Distillers. Go and read the text at the beginning of the video
🖤💛
B R O D Y DALLE = something so fucking special.
very interesting that s2e5 of daredevil plays "die on a rope" by the distillers for a moment and then two of the main characters go to this restaurant afterwards. someone behind the scenes must be a brody fan...
I about falafeled myself when I heard that! Good eye on the resteraunt
I am totally tripping on all the camera angles, yet there is no break in her incredible performance . Mind blowing!!!
As an old The Distillers fan that have followed the band from the start till theyˋre untimely death sort of speach, I love to see Brody back! She looks healthy and beautiful as ever, and her vocals are just as amazing still! I love her lyrics. I wish her the very best! As an old punk rocker, I have the utmost respect for her new music style. Because its real and from the heart! Love you Brody!
2021 and an eternal repeat of this incredible song. Thank you Brody.
I can listen to this on repeat for days !! So beautiful!!!
Her Style her voice.............. everything is just so Perfect! Keep rocking girl we love you!!!!!
Her modest face after the song, beautiful! ❤️
Started following her with the Distillers some time ago.. I can appreciate the solo stuff, but in her element with a big electric ensemble band, seems like a more powerful option. But, if the solo acoustic vibe is where she's at just now, then so be it. The Art is where the Art is @ any moment. She's good at whatever she does :)
Ah! That restaurant! It's not hard to miss seeing those decorations while walking 1st Ave. Such a cool spot to do a recording.
I wish I had a voice like hers
The whole crew has done a perfect job on this video. I don't know if it was a smooth shoot, but it certainly looks like one of those days where it all just rolls perfectly. Thanks for the lovely video x
you want perfection, listen to her vocals in Gypsy Rose Lee by Distillers
Holy shit, yes! I have a moment when that song locked me in. Was on a bike in Germany by myself with a discman or whatever. Heard that song and stopped, sat on a bench and played it at least 5 times, taking the world in. Passive to some, maybe. That song was a big fucking deal to me. Fucking let your heart bleed beautiful.
Always good to come back to this.
Why did it take me two years to find this?
four years late i'm here
took me 6
Gorgeous vid & great sound! Love the slow pull-back shot at 2:00
so glad she is still making music I absolutely love her voice !!! thank you Brody
I am always so amazed by the beauty of this: the "Brody" voice... good god this is heaven and couldn't be reproduced for any price. Regardless of the vocal persuasions of other wishful thinkers, power punk-ballad-wanna-be's, and dreamers of all angles/ages: Brody. Is. What. Lives. Punk has never know such powerful danger, as in the deity of Miss Brody. truly we have been blessed to know her. I have been formidably trapped in the young impressionable love that is to know late 90's punk rock master for her true works... Owning up, and comparing to no one: holding a candle : strictly for research), to the tsunami bombs (for their female frontness)...Brody, with her distillers took respect back! ...My life be forever changed, being torn by ye olde coral fang and beyond..... Powerful and prophetic, the presence of these women are a rad voice, since long before the days of josh (though he alone is another amazing/once in a life time chance of musical beauty..,
2020 still listening to Brody! I like this version more then the album version. You can really hear that raspy voice! :)
The girl still got it. What a beautiful voice!!!
Brody is.. Everything amazing about Punk... she's, for me, a symbol of ... that cool feeling. I love you, Brody Dalle.
First off Brody is awesome, Brody has three albums out with the Distillers,Spinnerette an the latest album diploid love and Kaitlin's going to say that Brody needs a vocal coach maybe Kaitlin should put out a hit song or a successful album before you start criticizing. You know if this was the sixties you'd be saying Janis Joplin she's pretty good but she needs a vocal coach. When I listen to her even though I'm a little older now,so I don't listen to much hard fast music as I used to but I always think about her song Sing Sing Deathhouse and that's like one of the hardest songs l ever heard a female sing in my life and she still gets me excited like that everytime I hear her voice so Brody's perfect the way she is.
kids these days think talent is american idol singing and most pop singers get those same vocal coaches plus autotuning equals everyone sounds the damn same. no raw or unique talent. that modern r&b vocals is a nice talent but not everyone has to sound like that.
Who the hell is Kaitlin? I must have missed it or Kaitlin deleted her post?
This is my favorite track from her debut solo album, love the acoustic version, so good. keep rocking Brody !
Caramba essa emoção que ela transmite só com a voz arrepia, linda, maravilhosa, rainha 💞🖤👏
Amazing. She is easily one of my top three favorite female singers ever, maybe number one, but who can really pinpoint a single sound..... I love her heart and rhythem. I always liked the music she was part of.
Em 2021 e eu aqui escutando novamente e comentando novamente e chorando desesperada com meu país afundando...rs
Ao menos esse som sempre me deu muita esperança para continuar. Tks and I love you Brody. ♡
Can't stop listening to this song this version is so much better
Given everything that's happening to this woman right now, I can't watch this without crying a mother's tear. It's so beautiful, I need a whole album fo stripped down Brody.
Thanks Brody!! I fell of the map for awhile. Love the "new" record. Never give up....thanks for the inspiration.
I’m pretty sure we all need a little more Brodie in our lives, I can’t be the only one
Was just bumping Distillers yesterday! Love her! Glad she's back
Love the raspy natural voice. Kind of reminds me of my mom when i was a kid when she tried to sing to me to sleep. Its natural, raw and unedited. Love it.
Her voice has shaken me to the core from a young age. I AM IN LOVE WITH BRODY!
Every time I see this my heart explodes. Brody is so awesome. Thanks to her and NPR. Soulful as hell.
I started crying into her song. Such an amazing talent. I feel so much gratitutde to whomjever posted this. Thanks.

Wow!! so glad to have discovered !!!
Best location ever... Congrats production team!
I never get tired of L7 or Brody love the guitar tone and location of this vid
Brody Dalle and the distillers will always be a special part of my life.
Anyone who was an angry teen listening to punk music back in the early 2000s knows what's up.❤🤘🏼🤙🏼
Class of 2004!! 😛
Glad to see Brody still great as ever. I discovered her back in the Distillers Coral Fang days and that record kicked ass (and still does, there is not a bad song on it).
This recording is so pure and beautiful. It gives me life.
We need a stripped down acoustic session with her the distillers double song acoustics from coral fang are gorgeous it really gives her a chance to show off her unique vocal melodies and vocal quirks - look up dismantle me and the gallow is god acoustic if you’re not sure what I’m talking about.
Back here after 7 y. Still goosebumps
🤩the decay of analog. She is a queen of the punk rock screen.
Beautiful song its been my favorite for a few years now
omg this much beauty just blinded me. Heart.
Lover her so much a true talent and inspiration this album is so incredible too 🥺❤️
This has quickly become my favorite version of anything Brody has sung
Noticed some vibrato in her voice during this song, it took me completely by surprise because I've only just discovered her solo stuff XD Saw the Distillers play 2 days ago, and it was like revisiting this glorious past life
She will always have one of the best voices.....it reminds me of being a punk girl, and a love that definitely wasn't love. Brody Dalle forever.
"I will come dressed up in dreams..."
This song means so much to me... Thank you Brody!
Punk Rock Queen!!!! Beautiful and so incredibly talented.
mulher canta muito sua canção de sua alma
She has no equal, and no comparison. Its weird to see her more of a mainstream look but its the the same brody I fell in love with as a teenager. Greatest artist of my generation.
Wish she did more songs for this! 💖 Love you, Brody!
Her voice is incredible, she could sing a menu to me and I’d swoon - let alone the amazing lyrics from her whole career that’ve blown my mind
What a voice.And a beautiful song and woman.ANGEL.
Aquela música que te atravessa a alma 💔👏🖤
mi favorite track of her album
This is the first time since The Distillers broke up that i got into a song she did, I will be checking out her solo album now thanks.
Same here. There's a couple other good ones I've noticed on that album that I've heard.
Please have her on tiny desk I need more like this so bad !!!!
Her voice is a blessing to us all.
Brody ♥ This song means so much to me
