The Story ~ Brandi Carlile
Have you ever had a song spin over and over in your head, one that you just can’t get out of your mind?  This is the second year in a row that I heard a song on WFSB, Eyewitness News; the background music for their year end rap up of news stories. I was determined that this year I was going to track the song down and buy it.

The song that haunted me so was Brandi Carlile’s The Story. It is available on the album of the same name. Brandi Carlile has an edgy voice, and I love the words. It makes me think of all the wonderful times in my life and how fortunate I am to have been to be able to share those stories. How sad it would be to have a tale to tell and no one to tell it to.

Take a look at the lyrics and by all means, check out the cd at our library.

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you


You can listen to samples of Brandi’s music on her website http://www.brandicarlile.com/
