    I am an old, old man and this song brings me to tears within one single verse. You have a written a song worthy of your daughter, and worthy of all the mothers and daughters of the world. No one would have criticized you for keeping it a secret for just you and her, but you for shared it with the rest of us. Thank you for that.

    My 5-year-old daughter's name is also Evangeline, and when you sang "When we chose your name, we knew you'd fight the power, too." I almost died. We went to the Women's March together last year, and I hope every day that she understands this line. Way to make this non-crier cry!

    • @starwhale3797
      @starwhale3797 5 років тому +12

      Can you explain this some more? I honestly don't quite get the line. Does the name Evangeline have some significance when it comes to the patriarchy?

    • @shelbykennedy4496
      @shelbykennedy4496 3 роки тому +2

      Brandi Carlisle is married to a woman, and they adopted their daughter. So the part "you are not some accident where no one thought it through" they're saying they chose to and fought to have a daughter. "The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you." Again, another thing saying basically, a lot of people are against same sex marriage, let alone same sex couples adopting. And then "and when we chose your name, we knew you'd fight the power too", I think she just means that when they picked her name it sounded like a strong powerful name and that they know their daughter will also fight for their rights to love one another.

    • @mollsch6820
      @mollsch6820 3 роки тому

      @@shelbykennedy4496 the name Evangeline comes from the Greek Euangelion and that was what I was asking. I know she's Christian, (and yes, I knew her orientation, marital status, and I pieced the same-sex parents adoption struggle together as well) but I'm not sure what power an "Evangeline" is meant to fight based on her name

    My first born is named Evangeline. She is 15 this year. This is such a beautiful song! I cant stop listening. It's so powerful. Shows where I was at the time she was born in a snowy upstate NY. How far I have come with her and now 4 more. This song has lifted me in such a way. New meaning to my motherhood. Evangeline WILL fight the power. Lots of love to your Evangeline and beautiful family.

    I’m about to become a first-time mom to a little girl. I’ve been fighting it really, really hard, wondering when I’d feel a big feeling that wasn’t “hard” or “bad.”
    This song randomly came on my Spotify and I started sobbing at work and was totally overwhelmed with new emotions for the first time. I got my degree in opera and have felt so closed off to music since leaving school. So thanks for helping to peel back the layers . It feels good to know even if it’s hard, I’ll get there. Going to continue being patient with myself and have grace.

    We have six children, three of each. . . and I have that one. . .the one that broke everything fragile that had the misfortune of coming into her grasp. I love this, my heart is touched and amazed. She expecting a baby girl soon, and I hope she gets a free-spirit like herself, that can't avoid a mud puddle, can only use plastic dishes, is not afraid to change her own oil, hunt her own game, grow flowers in the house. May the world embrace every Evangeline, no matter what her name is.

  • @forevernow8092
    @forevernow8092 Рік тому +4

    Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind
    Tethered to another and you're worried all the time
    You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme
    She's fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn't look like me
    She made me love the morning, she's a holiday at sea
    The New York streets are as busy as they always used to be
    But I am the mother of Evangeline
    The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep
    She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep
    She filled my life with color, cancelled plans and trashed my car
    But none of that is ever who we are
    Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow
    I hold you while you're sleeping and I wish that I could go
    All my rowdy friends around accomplishing their dreams
    But I am the mother of Evangeline
    They've still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time
    They still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and their wine
    Oh but all the wonders I have seen I will see a second time
    From inside of the ages through your eyes
    You were not an accident where no one thought it through
    The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you
    And when we chose your name we knew that you'd fight the power, too
    You're nothing short of magical and beautiful to me
    I would never hit the big time without you
    So they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
    Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
    They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
    Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
    Ooooh...
