Lyrics:
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
Oh, because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do, and 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
Oh, 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
Oh, yeah, well it's true that I was made for you

The thing about Brandi is that aside from her insanely pure and out of this world voice with the most incredible range and nuance, she is always so, so happy after she sings a song. Her face and whole being light up in incredible joy. This is truly what she is meant to do with her life and as everyone knows, did it for little money for years and years. That is the sign of a true artist. The fact that she is finally becoming mainstream and making real money from her life's work of art, is long overdue and so well deserved. She is truly an incredible talent.
Not to mention, so down to earth! I feel like she’s your cool next door neighbor that you can have a bonfire with lol.
@@daniellemilby9117 yes!!
She is truly and artists artist!
She is incredible!
To add to that, singing a song from so early in her career just shows how well her music ages. The more you live, the more of a story you have to tell.
Man oh man this has got to be one of the greatest SNL performances of all time
I've heard her sing this song before, but the rock out with sidistorted guitars was great feel like she enjoyed it toocommons above in this thread dais how
I think Brittany Howard also performed a legendary set on SNL.
I missed this performance, no surprise. I don't watch network TV.
This performance was one of those like GooGoo Dolls in the rain in Buffalo where the artist just gives everything they are to the audience, and the audience amplifies it back.
Moments in history.
Man is it rare over the last couple decades to see a truly impressive performance on snl like this one.
Not got to…is. Unquestionably.
She released this song in 2007 and I was lucky enough to hear her live in a small dive. The whole place was just blown away. She’s amazing.
She is amazing 😂
That must have been amazing! Seeing her in two weeks in Philly, opening for Pink! So excited!!
❤ love her
The amazing thing about her and the band is that they have always preferred to play smaller venues… I first saw her back in ‘98 at a dive bar called the Garage in Ballard, Seattle… and now 25 years later we still go see her every time she comes to Texas … we were thrilled to meet her after a show a few years ago in New Braunfels TX… my husband and I actually ran into her when the whole band was tubing/swimming in the river that afternoon…. She’s simply one of the best live performers ever!!!
It needs more cowbell
Not knowing Brandi before I saw this on SNL - this made me sit up in bed. Like, WTF???? Absolutely stunning performance. Instant fan.
1st time i saw her perform was with the Pink 2023 tour in Pittsburgh. I was blown away with her range
Brandi is possibly the best live performer I’ve had the pleasure of seeing. I don’t usually expect to hear the exact same vocal quality in live performances vs. studio recording, but, holy cow, she is phenomenal.
True talent doesn’t need all the tech stuff! True talent sounds better in person. I once heard Andy Williams live, about 6 rows from stage. Was never overalls impressed with him until I heard him in person. Pure voice! Appreciate vocalists from the past because what you heard was real! Brandi fits in this category! Pure voice. Pure talent!
Saw her 2x last summer! Just awesome!
She is incredible.
Hands down...the BEST SNL performance of all time. Rock on Brandi.
When multiple talented souls are contained within a single human form
"Nothin hurts the heart as much as trying not to feel" ❤
I have been watching musical performances on SNL for 40+ years...this is in my top five.
Just curious, what are the other 4? If they are as good as Brandi then I’ll need to look them up. Brandi’s yodels just tug at my heart & puts me in a puddle of tears.
@@jmedakwon I think one of them is Alabama Shakes, if you haven't watch, give it a try:)
One of my favorite things is when someone finds comments from forever ago and invests the time to respond
@@carriebee5418Me too! I came back here while searching for something wonderful to listen to...Brought tears again, 'cause it's that good.
@@jmedakwonKacey Musgraves “Slow Burn” is also a top five for me.
She’s one of the best musical performers SNL has had
Great, and really live. This can not be said about Brian Adams performing at SNL, totally not live, terrible.
There's only been 2 SNL performances that I replayed. This one and Harry Styles.
Bullshit....she is struggling here... over performing for lack of talent
That’s saying something
@@MeWriter2112 Thanks I will check that out.
The first Brandi Carlile song that I ever heard, & still one of my favorites!❤
Omg, listen to The Joke!
Listen to the Joke is on you! If you watch the Grammys live version performance, AMAZING! Standing ovation.
Me too.
This isn't her song lol she covered someone elses
@@kvothethebloodless7555 Not according to Wikipedia - who do you think sang it originally?
I spent a week in the hospital at the end of March and one night when I couldn't sleep I sat looking up every performance I could find of Brandi's and she drove away the fear and loneliness of those long nights.
Hope you’re all recovered! ❤
I am! It took months and it was a rough road but I am well. And grateful.
Her voice cracks and the imperfections makes this song absolute perfection. I’m not fond of others covering this song as it just lacks the depth Brandi delivers. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I saw LeAnn Rimes on the Graham Norton Show in the UK singing The Story, pity there is no punishment for murdering a song.
her voice cracks are intentional, not imperfections, just perfections
I call them vocalgasms and I feel like they are intentional but amazing. I love this song just for them.
I love to hear her live. The album versions are too polished and lacking in the grit and emotion that makes her music so powerful.
@@geoffpalmer6424 I was scrolling through the comments while listening to this again & noticed that I accidentally gave you a thumbs down instead of a thumbs up. I apologize! I totally agree with you about LeAnn Rimes performance on Graham Norton, plus many other people covering this song (not to mention many other Brandi Carlile songs). It should be illegal. 😂
How I feel about my life with my wife. She passed away two years ago❤
So happy for the time you all had, some are not lucky enough to find the other half. You will be together again.
Her voice is so ephemeral in that it can be both brassy and intimate in the same song, sometimes even in the same line, as with this BARN BURNER. I just LOVE watching her have fun and rock out in the loud parts, and then ease it back down to a closer and more private place for the lines that need it. I also LOVE that she allows her voice to break in certain parts, which really accents the psychological and emotional catharsis of the song. That husky tremble that drops here and there just sends shivers down my spine.
You articulated the magic of her voice and performance so perfectly! Thank you for that. I think one of the things I enjoy most about this performance is that it is both an ode to her fans and a stunning display of how much her voice has grown and blossomed over the years. Her ability to control and emote her voice has expanded exponentially over the years and it's such a privilege to hear how she has mastered such a difficult instrument.
This was soo well put! I agree wholeheartedly
Truly Gifted is Brandi Carlisle
Well said! 🇨🇦
Yes her voice is literally an instrument so cool!
I was in the live studio audience for this. FOREVER CHANGED. I keep coming back here I love Brandi 😭
If that performance didn't gain Brandi a shit ton of new fans, I don't know what will. Simply, brilliant!
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. How are you?
@@davidholton9667WEIRDO
It did. I’m here. I heard. Goddam. What a gift she is.
@@Batmarc6 Well put, my friend!
You are correct I heard this song on SNL replay and became an instant fan.
God, I love this song. Freaking chills every time.
Same here. From my first listen at a Border's listening station to today. Gets me every single time.
Getting them right now and then I read your comment!
hahah same here! Everything about it - the lyrics, the delivery, the music! Can never get enough of this song!
I’ve known that song for a whiiiiiile but JUST FINISHED hearing and watching this and I am losing it. HOW? WHY did NO one massively shared this? So much talent. Beauty.
This song is my husband and I. Married 37 years, raised three daughters, still best friends and laughing now going into our golden years enjoying every minute and holding on to each cherished moment left.
Thursday is my anniversary. 22 years with my guy! Love this song!!
Congrats.😊 You have the Best gift that this life can offer.
You are lucky. Cherish it. I love this song because it speaks to me and how I’m feeling. I lost my husband of 25 years to leukemia. ‘Stories don’t mean anything if you got no one to tell them to’
Cherish it, we all want it but don’t find it
This song has a timeless beauty to it! ✨ The powerful strength of vulnerability!
Her voice is extraordinary
Yes! I love her nuanced additions that show her talent and timelessness
Could not agree more!!!!! Well said
“If Dolly Parton covers your song, you know it’s a heck of a song and she respects you, Brandi.” Your music and YOUR story is remarkable and it give us hope that keeping the faith and never stop grinding pays off. Keep up the great work and we look forward to seeing your story continue. God Bless.
This performance is the first time I'd ever heard Brandi Carlile's music, and I was really, really moved by her voice and the music as a whole. Instantly became a huge fan.
Oh man… you gotta listen to her album by the way I forgive you.
One of the most beautiful voices !!!❤
Same. I cannot understand how I missed her before now.
She has so many great songs. I'm sure you won't be disappointed if you look them up and start listening to them. They are amazing!
She’s the greatest!
I'm so happy that this amazing performer is finally seeing the kind of recognition she has earned. She's performed with every famous artist in the industry and people still ask who she is. Who she is, is incredible.
As a 38 yr old woman I can fully say that this song and her voice is permanent in my brain.
Brandi is one of VERY FEW SNL guests that actually sound fantastic on their stage! I think it's the purity if her voice ❤️
She shines when live. Just kills every performance. Transformative.
Truly one of the most brilliant songs/vocals ever - I absolutely love it.
This performance deserve millions of views.
There is nobody like Brandi Carlile. My husband introduced me to her many many years ago and I am truly thankful. We saw her in concert twice. It's like she makes you her best friend when she preforms. Truly Amazing.
It really is! Her concerts are so intimate. It’s like she’s talking to you the whole time.
Yeah I can see that, she has best friend energy
Brandi has something no one else has and she LIGHTS UP anyone she performs with-girl elvis
I was in NYC in 2019 and was looking for something fun to do. I had gone to a show on Broadway the night before and figured I'd go to a foreign movie or something I couldn't do at home. I saw that BC was playing at MSG and I vaguely knew who she was so I checked a 3rd party ticket seller and bought a ticket, thinking it might not even be a real ticket to be honest. I walked down to MSG and Mavis Staples was the opener. What a talent! I was in awe! Then, BC took the stage. It was such an intimate experience and the musicianship of Brandi and her band was off the charts! I was mesmerized! Such beautiful harmonies, fantastic stage presence and such a genuine human. I cried so many times that night, lol. Now, a fan for life from that happenstance! So proud they are being recognized for their beautiful music!
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. Hello
She was blessed. How else can you explain her? Phenomenal!
This woman is an absolute superstar. Absolutely amazing performance!! So much heart in it!!
This is my favorite song in the entire world. Without hesitation or hesitation. It is so well written and her execution is perfect beyond words. And so are the covers. But her mf emotions will move you as a person. I was so lucky to be able to see her last year and I cried the entire time.
Years of listing to Brandi…buying her albums…going to shows. 😭 Hearing her sing The Story on SNL. *Priceless*
Nobody does a guitar switch like Brandi Carlile.
OG Brandi fan right here who first saw her live in 2007 and had been listening to her for years before that. So happy she still performs this song live as it still gives me goosebumps and takes my breath away in one fell swoop 🙏🏼.
She is one of the few I wish to see live. And it's so tough cuz I'm in Asia 😢
This one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
WOW!!!! I love her spirit!!! She is having so much fun and you can tell it's from the heart and soul!!!!!!
I love seeing people genuinely love what they do. It’s contagious!
Still amazing after all these years...not enough positive adjectives to describe this performance
Only one word Incredible. She is an 😇 Angel and so blessed. I saw her in a concert with Pink. They both blew me away. Truly and honestly forever a fan ❤️
Look at every participant on that stage. Fantastically mesmerizing music + vocals.
I am so glad to see the twins with her again
She almost always is with the twins - she occasionally does solo shows, usually fundraisers or supporting political candidates. The twins are completely equal in the Brandi Carlile Band. They contribute as much as ever.
They are literal family members and neighbors. They almost always work together.
Brandi,more than anyone so far deserves a place in the musical hall of fame.
Love her.. I have so much to say but it wouldn’t do her justice..
i just love her.. been listening to her for almost 20 years.
From the moment I heard this song and her voice many, many, many years ago, she stopped me in my tracks. She is a living legend and continues to amaze me no matter how many times I hear her sing. Sidenote - the cracks in her voice have always been my favorite thing! Forever a fan ❤️
many many many years ago….truth. We saw it
Literally me too. Was a passenger in a car- playing w radio- caught it and had the driver pull over. I was like is this rock or folk or country or heavy metal. What is going on. The song kept getting better and better and it ended. And we both were silent and stunned.
Same here 💜
So many years and what an incredible musician you are !
I used to sing this to my babygirl. She’s now 18 😭 she has no idea how much she saved my life.
Absolutely STUNNED by this song when I saw it on SNL!! ❤ Beautifully sung!! ❤❤
I’ve seen so many SNL music performances of the last few years that were overproduced, over baked with effects, oversexualized( especially with the female performances) and just generally trying so hard to keep your eyes on it that they became tiresome. Then I watched this the night it was on and I wept happily. I had forgotten that once, long long ago, music used to be fun, and brought joy to those listening and watching. Thanks Brandi!
A "like" isn't enough for this performance... contemplating watching SNL re-run Saturday just to watch this again!
Her voice gives me goosebumps
The whole band is just amazing. Thank you for pouring everything you’ve got into it. Your music is incredible!
This song is the way I feel about my Teddy Bear of 34 years, I thank you for your talent this song says it all for me. And ryan if you read this , I love you more than anything in the entire Universe , I was meant for you, your my soul mate ,!
forever and eternity , I Love you!!!!❤❤❤❤
Ditto sweetheart!❤️
Her vocal range is insanely beautiful 😍
This is such an amazing song. Beautifully written. Beautifully sung. Sorely underrated.
Brandi, you are a gift to the music world and especially those of us that love actual heart-written music! Instead of industry-pumped "hits". We are lucky to hear you! Thank you.
Man, you can just tell that they all knew they killed that. Amazing live performance.
One of your BEST…highlights your off the charts vocal range and layered musicianship….Keep the classics coming. And keep rocking BRANDIE CARLIE. You guys are blowing the roof off every venue you play. Can’t wait for your GRAMMY performance and HUGE WINS. ❤
Brandi is one of a kind. Love this song and her voice
Love how she just changed guitars during his guitar solo. Perfect. She is one cool talented chick.
Well I know for sure...that "this story" won't ever die. This story of ever loving this song and ur heart jumps every time u come back to the song. And just goosebumps all over again.....❤ This song holds our stories
Omg the voice !!! She deserved some award on GRAMMYS!!!!
The labum before last, By The Way, I Forgive You, actually did win a Grammy! I really recommend it, especially The Mother (which is a parenthood song that shines after 20+ years of only hearing With Arms Wide Open on the radio), Sugartooth (which is like an arena country song honouring someone who passed away due to an opioid addiction), Everytime I Hear That Song (which drops the title of the album), Most of All (which, personally, made me think of my parents eventually passing away) and Fulton County Jane Doe. Fantastic album.
She was pure rockstar in this performance.🤘🎸
I f*cking love it and I love her.
*- Haha... YES! And, in a non-sexual way, I love YOU too!*
I'm a late bloomer brandi fan....I love her instantly when I first heard her....
She opened up for pink and was fantastic ❤
I play this video almost every day. I need to hear Brandi sing these words that go straight to and through my heart. There's a truth and purity that I can't quite describe. I just know it melts me every single time. ❤
Me toooooo. I sing it to my baby
Its been 7 months, commenting to bring you back to this so it can spark that joy for you again ❤
Her voice gives me chills! She's amazing!!
its been 13 years and I still love this song.
I apologize if I aleady posted here - but this song (and this particular version) is simply a life changing moment. thank you Ms Carlile; your band of course is simply amazing.
Always amazing, she performs with such great joy to be there on stage singing for an audience. Their hard work has paid off, but she still gives her bands talent and experience to include up and coming artist on the stage with them. A true national treasure, we all thank you for your gifts to us, the soundtrack of life.
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. How are you?
This is crazy. What a talent. I was listening to my music library on Amazon and my list ended so Amazon was sending similar type songs...and this song came on. I stopped in my tracks and played it over and over. Then of course i start searching the artist...bringing me to RUclips. All i keep thinking is "Where the hell have i been". How did i miss this incredible talent. How is it that this artist has struggled? I was thinking that talent must be scarce with the crap the labels are putting out there. What the hell are they doing? Glad i found you now Brandi!
SO happy when I see someone fall in love with real talent like Brandi! Hope you've listened to Tragedy and The Joke, of course!
No Lip-Syncing here! Just Lyrics from the Heart💖
The song that started it all for me. Saw Brandi when she opened for the Indigo Girls way back in 2008.
Finally! It if finally time for the entire world to know this incredible artist and ALL her works.
Some songs and voices give me goosebumps on my arms and the back of my neck. This song and this voice gave me goosebumps on my soul.
A national treasure. That's all, just a national treasure.
I cry every time I hear this song.
Gat dam I love her soul and everything!!! What a wonderful person
The female cello player is amazing!! I love her!
What I love about you is your authenticity, grace, and compassion. May you always live within these traits
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. Hello
@@davidholton9667 NOOOO
What a performance! Great job Brandi, but also Phil and Tim Hanseroth - you rocked!
I first saw Brandi and the twins perform at The Garage- a bar in Ballard in Seattle back in 1998… I’ve gone to see her at least 25 times and since moving to Texas I’ve seen her every time she’s in the State… she’s such an amazing artist….. my favorite show she did was when she performed with the Seattle Symphony… it was exactly like this version she played here…. We went and saw her perform in Gruene, TX and ran into her and the band tubing on the river- my husband was one of only ten guys in the audience… after the show we talked with her and reminisced all about her playing at The Garage back in the late 90’s…
Is the story finally going to get the praise it’s always deserved??????
Brandi you are the most talented beautiful kind woman in the world 😉👍♥️♥️♥️
Fucking legend.
Brandi is so unique. Loved her book! Her whole story is amazing. Just wow.
Just the most beautiful person in the world 🖤
I cannot love this enough. She is just amazing.
Hello Kayla 👋 how are you doing today, hope you’re having a great day??
Brandi is absolutely amazing in concert. If you get a chance to see her live, DO IT! I finally got to see her live in May 2024 at Brandi Carlile's Mothership Weekend festival in Mirimar Beach, FL, an annual event. She loves every moment and collars with so many other artists. Sista Strings backed her up in this performance and at The Mothership and they were outstanding.
I love how she is always so happy after every performance, it really brings her such joy! I love her voice, but I hope that little crack, which sounds so cool, isn't because of nodes. She has an amazing voice but needs to protects it!!
This is number one on my list of “songs I wish I could experience again for the FIRST time.” I’ll never forget the way I felt that first time. It blows me away every time, but that first time I was dumbfounded that this existed and that somehow the whole world didn’t know about it.
I am not a country music fan but -The Story- is an awesome album that I recommend to all.
I wouldn't consider Brandi country though. She classifies herself as Americana. There is a bit of country flavor there, but also folk and rock. Sometimes a little pop. I actively dislike almost all country. I can barely listen to most of it except a few songs that I like. But I own two Brandi Carlile cds and have many of her songs on my Playlists. Maybe she is more old style country, but still not really. The twins were rock before they joined her to make their band. Her recent Grammy was for rock!
Americana is a large umbrella but in my mind distinct from country.
I first heard this at 25. I’m 35 today and this song still brings me joy
No one cares.
@@clvrswine I care
This performance turned me into a fan. I love her, this song is amazing, she is amazing. 10/10.
My wife and I were very lucky to meet Brandi at the SNL after party.. she was soo gracious with her time.. she sat and chatted for some 20mins.. all about her beginnings on WFUV (Fordham Unv) here in the NYC area (Bx NY)..My wife has followed her from the early days and on this night she go to meet her idol..
THANK YOU BRANDI!!
The music, the lyrics, the voice and the perfect harmonious mix of all three makes my spine tingles. Thank you for the great music.
Omg I love this song she is my new favorite singer
Stunning performance. What a talent. ☺️
The more I hear you sing I ask myself why have I not followed you before. I’m currently listening to book Broken Horses and can’t believe how relatable your early years were so much like mine. Please keep singing your music I’m loving it here in Australia.🦋🙏🌻🌅🇦🇺💞
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. Hello
Been following Brandi for several years and her and the twins just get better and better.
No words for how much I love this song❤
