I've been listening to this album over and over the last few days, but wasn't really paying attention to the lyrics in this particular song. Once I did.. chills.
Brandi Carlile is in a génre of her very own, yet to be named.😂You're comparison to🤠Charlie Daniels,👠Cher and🏆Elton John had me in😂stitches.🌹Thanks for the laugh. 🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸✍🏻♥️
btw, her☝🏻song is based on "reality" (non fiction📜Holy Truth)!🎧Listen & absorb the lyrics, research boy who washed up on the shore in Europe?🔮Perhaps, you may understand?👍🏻Good luck with that. 🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸✍🏻♥️
Sinners, Saints and Fools Lyrics Where the winds of change were blowin', there lived a God-fearing man He was turning through his bible when he came up with a plan He painted up a sign and held it high above his head Waved it proudly in the air and this is what it read You can't break the law There are reasons for the rules I keep things safe here for everyone The sinners, saints, and fools The poor and huddled masses Who arе hungry and afraid You gotta do it by the book and there'll bе No exceptions made To the weary, desperate souls who washed up on the sand He said, "We hadn't seen your paperwork" and he withdrew his hand You know he never felt any safer, all the peace he hoped he'd find And up until the day he died, he never changed his mind You can't break the law There are reasons for the rules They gotta keep it safe here for everyone You sinners, saints, and fools The poor and huddled masses Who are hungry and afraid You gotta do it by the book or there'll be No exceptions made By the time he got to Heaven, it was surrounded by a wall The pearly gates were locked up tight, the golden chains and all They said, "We cannot let just anyone walk in here anymore You didn't do it by the book," and then they pointed to the floor You can't break the law There are reasons for the rules I keep things safe here for everyone You sinners, saints, and fools The poor and huddled masses Who are hungry and afraid You gotta do it by the book and there'll be No exceptions made No
Not one has been able to fulfill the law but the only begotten Son of God. This is a wonderful song about how the letter of the law kills. This horrible news will make everyone twice the sons of hell as they are. Crazy shit
What a great song, and a rather insightful depiction on the condition of everyone of us sinners, saints, and fools. But by the grace of God, Jesus paid the price for all of us that didn't do it by the book.
I struggle with this one because the lyrics take me to a dark place, but the way it rocks out at the end makes me really look forward to it live. Maybe I’ll get to a place where it feels cathartic.
this is one of the 3 best songs on the album, and it gets 15 dislikes (atm). I think there's something else going on:) maybe Bible worshippers didn't get the message
Yes true, but I think this song is "universal" in that it applies to every religion (Bible def: A collection of religious texts, writings, or scriptures sacred in Christianity, Judaism, Samaritanism, Islam, Rastafari, and many other faiths ...). The PC part is the fact it applies to all religions, but not to humanists, which is unbalanced, especially in this age of the refugee.....

This is me.
The twins rock on this! Brandi is flawless as usual.
This is so good.
She keeps getting better and better. And it's a joy to hear.
That's a perfect song.
Instrumentally, it's like Elton John, Cher, and Charlie Daniels all got together and made a masterpiece. The lyrics are so meaningful. Great story.

Sinners, Saints and Fools Lyrics
Where the winds of change were blowin', there lived a God-fearing man
He was turning through his bible when he came up with a plan
He painted up a sign and held it high above his head
Waved it proudly in the air and this is what it read
You can't break the law
There are reasons for the rules
I keep things safe here for everyone
The sinners, saints, and fools
The poor and huddled masses
Who arе hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the book and there'll bе
No exceptions made
To the weary, desperate souls who washed up on the sand
He said, "We hadn't seen your paperwork" and he withdrew his hand
You know he never felt any safer, all the peace he hoped he'd find
And up until the day he died, he never changed his mind
You can't break the law
There are reasons for the rules
They gotta keep it safe here for everyone
You sinners, saints, and fools
The poor and huddled masses
Who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the book or there'll be
No exceptions made
By the time he got to Heaven, it was surrounded by a wall
The pearly gates were locked up tight, the golden chains and all
They said, "We cannot let just anyone walk in here anymore
You didn't do it by the book," and then they pointed to the floor
You can't break the law
There are reasons for the rules
I keep things safe here for everyone
You sinners, saints, and fools
The poor and huddled masses
Who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the book and there'll be
No exceptions made
No

Aptly rendered.
This gives me so much Elton John's 'Madman Across The Water' vibes.
The musicality on this! Holy shit! Powell and Shooter…all of em…top notch
This song man.. the last 3 songs on the album.. brilliance
Such an important message 🙏
Thank you, Lady...grateful 🙏
Amazing body of music! It's a hauntingly beautiful feast for your soul!
Love, love, live the message in this great song! ❤️
I’m obsessed!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Musicwise it has a drama that reminds me of Reba McEntires "The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia". And the lyrics is just a masterpiece.
Omg yes!! I said this to my wife!!
@@emilylibby7771 So cool that we thought the same!
I got the same vibe
Yes, now that you mention it!
Hell yeah 🤘
Très Elton - esque! 😍🎹🎶😎
I struggle with this one because the lyrics take me to a dark place, but the way it rocks out at the end makes me really look forward to it live. Maybe I’ll get to a place where it feels cathartic.
I’m anticipating crying through it when I see it live
I saw them do it live at The Gorge and it was badass as literal hell
Great piece 🧩
Brandi ❤❤❤❤

They only listened to the first verse
Lyrics..
Kind of funny how the coolest song on the album is just religious fundamentalist nonsense
lyrics are OK. Musically, she peaked back in 2008 or so.
Come on Brandi, be politically incorrect and point out who's throwing people off buildings.
Going after Christianity is so PC and weak.
Yes true, but I think this song is "universal" in that it applies to every religion (Bible def: A collection of religious texts, writings, or scriptures sacred in Christianity, Judaism, Samaritanism, Islam, Rastafari, and many other faiths ...). The PC part is the fact it applies to all religions, but not to humanists, which is unbalanced, especially in this age of the refugee.....
@@SuperNevile
Everything you said is true, but the only specific mention will typically be Christianity.
You'd be canceled if you mentioned otherwise.
@@giehayes8983 LOL, I cancelled myself years ago....it's so peaceful and quiet here.......
@@SuperNevile
Peace...oh man, it's wonderful.
Good for you, Nevile.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
