I think every bullied person needs to listen to this song. My son is 31 now and I can remember each and everything some bully has said and done to him. Bullies aren't born that way, they were raised that way. Every bully that gets caught and punished, their parents should suffer the same punishment. I always taught my boys to stand up for the underdog. Always be willing to give someone a hand up.
I cried when I went to my bully's funeral. He didn't know how to cope and I was convenient. I didn't know then what his family had been doing to him. He'd been abused in every sickening way by every adult in his family since he was a toddler. In the end, he stood up to the male creature who supplied his DNA. I won't dignify that thing by calling it a man let alone a dad. He stood up to it and told it to leave his little sister alone. The coroner's report said the cause of death was massive trauma and then listed over 200 strokes with a baseball bat. It wasn't until years later that I learned that part. At 13 he took the beating meant for his five year old sister while she ran for miles in the woods in the dead of a cold New England winter night. She was later found half frozen near death. That monster died in prison two years later. Five other adults related ended up in prison. I think the shortest sentence handed out was 20 years. I was 12 at the time of the funeral. None of us knew. He just lashed out at some of the weaker kids. At first there wasn't going to be a funeral. There weren't any adults left in his family that were free by the time the police were done, and his little sister ended up in foster care and eventually adopted. Last I heard she teaches the third grade. One of her students went on to become a cardiologist and another is a Lt. Governor. The town basically got together to give him a funeral. There was only one funeral director in our town and he volunteered his services for free. Some asked about an open casket and the funeral director said that given the state of the remains that was out of the question. What was left of his body was wrapped in pure white silk and laid in a white enameled ash coffin inlaid with gold angels. Four of the town's police officers acted as pallbearers. School was canceled that Friday. Every last student of our middle school and our parents attended and that included those of us he bullied, all of us. When we heard what had been happening to him his whole life, how, and why he died, it would have been unthinkable not to go. Instead of a eulogy, the entire lengthy police report was read by turns by ministers from the town's seven churches. That took the better part of an hour. In the end, we realized that for him, there was nothing to forgive. We were only victims by extension. To the very end, he had always taken the brunt of it. We just didn't know until it was too late. A few weeks later a new emergency children's shelter was dedicated and named in his honor. That was 40 years ago. It's still there. Any child, any time, for any reason, can seek refuge there no questions asked.
I had heard Brandi Carlile's version and not really paid attention, Benicio's performance was less subtle so it somehow pulled me in immediately. Now I like both versions and could not pick a favorite. Sometimes you can overlook a gem if you dont relax and give it a chance
Benicio brought me here & tbh the way he made this song come to life it made me feel such goosebumps. I like his version a lot more! Rooting for him this season ❤️❤️
Heard the agt and RUclips Benicio sang also listen to the original artist ... I must say I prefer This young man's rendition... thank you now this song plays in my mind.. thank you be bless'd
I can't believe that it took Benicio's audition to hear this song for the first time. I would love if he could record it with his voice where it's at now because he's somewhere in the middle of puberty and as beautiful as Brandi's voice is and how similar their voices are, they won't stay similar for much longer. What a beautiful song, and the story it tells is so true.
I just watched “Joe Bell” this great movie based on true events couldn’t have had a better song at the end to sum up the feeling felt throughout. I absolutely love your rendition. Lovely 🥰
Once an artist has written these things given to them through a wave from the source one must give them their honor and grace and love thankfully received.
She sings better than sheryl Crow, sheryl doesn't have a powerful 5 octive range like Brandi. I like Sheryl but she doesn't have a power house voice like brandi Carlile..Brandi is like the reincarnation of Patsy Cline.
Here cause of Aino's performance of this song. I love the lyrics and Aino's version is just so beautiful. Her voice is so special and she's super talented.
Absolutely loved her grammy performance of this! She sounds exactly the same live, which I love. That means they dont tweak her voice much if at all...
love brandis music. it was a very generous of her to have benico at her concert and sing with her and by herself.her kindness shows for furure talent to a very nice young man . i just had my big 70 love both of them.

@@nunyabiznez6381 What a horrible story, it made me cry. I hope he is in a peaceful and happy place.
Both versions of Brandi and Benicio are outstanding... They give different feels, different chills, but both versions are making me losing my breath..
Beautiful,,,
I 💯 agree
Listen to Kelly Clarkson version

HeyItsAbby well then I shall support you on your marvelous journey ☺️😊👍🏻
I wondered why I had this song saved. That must be it, lol.
Oh wait... I’ve never seen that. Welp, guess what I’m going to watch. Still doesn’t solve that mystery though 🤔.
I found an angel
I am
She has that little cry in her voice that is just the icing on the cake.
Thanks Benicio.
Benico really did bring this song to light with his amazing & emotional performance .To be honest i liked his cover more
Me too..
Same here, he is awsome he was on the kids voice, he is great
I had heard Brandi Carlile's version and not really paid attention, Benicio's performance was less subtle so it somehow pulled me in immediately. Now I like both versions and could not pick a favorite. Sometimes you can overlook a gem if you dont relax and give it a chance
@@allanmoe8495 absolutely 👍
Respect the creator of the song. Without her this song wouldn't exist at all.

I wish this existed when I was growing up in rural Manitoba...but it heals even 40 years later.

It's not just a song. It's a message. It's your turn to listen or to ignore.
What a beautiful song, keep on playing it.....thanks much Brandi Carlile...more power to you..
Literally my favourite song of all time. Thank you, Brandi.
I came, I listened,,,,,,,, Im back to Benicio..... Simply enchanted!
Brandi deserves more recognition, and not just from AGT
This song has been haunting me for a long time, I only wish I heard it when I was in high school - I m grateful for hearing now
I have been to the movies I seen how it ends the jokes on them. True that I love that music line.
Because of Benicio bryant😍

I actually like the way Benicio Bryant sang it AGT

brought me to tears brandi 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
You give me goosebumps. Love listening to you, Brandi.
My son was supposed to go to mothership with me, he died 4/28/24, life will never be the same. When she played this I was stopped in my tracks.
This is one hell of a song ❤
Incredible voice,thinking it’s about the pipe and everyone being displaced.And political,but I truly love this song.It could be a hundred meanings.♥️
Benicio brought me here .. love the song after AGT
I just watched “Joe Bell” this great movie based on true events couldn’t have had a better song at the end to sum up the feeling felt throughout. I absolutely love your rendition. Lovely 🥰
Me too...I just finished watching it too. What a sad ending!! Beautiful song...not crazy about the lyrics.
Just finished. Never cried so much watching a movie. I need a cartoon or something Christmas. I feel low. Great movie though. Great song
También la vi recién y sí me lloré toda la película, muy triste una de las tantas vidas perdidas por el bulling 😔
Brandi wrote the joke.
What a powerful and beautiful song!🎼❤
:D That's me here after Denicio Bryant. This song sound really great anyway
hmmm, watched all of Benicio's videos & this one & why are so many saying Denicio on here? Haven't seen it on any other one...
Benicio brought me here😃
What a powerful song....and so beautiful.
Once an artist has written these things given to them through a wave from the source one must give them their honor and grace and love thankfully received.
Just saw this on the Grammys. Thought I wasn't going to like but I fell in love with it. Sounds like *Perfect Lie* from Sheryl Crow.
She sings better than sheryl Crow, sheryl doesn't have a powerful 5 octive range like Brandi. I like Sheryl but she doesn't have a power house voice like brandi Carlile..Brandi is like the reincarnation of Patsy Cline.
Oh my goodness! What a heart wrenching beautiful song!
This song tho and btw who's here from AGT 😭❤
I'ts great Song. Bravo
Benecios rendition is to die for 😍I'm here because I'd agt as well 🤣
What a powerful song! Thanks to Benicio Bryant for bringing me here😍
I'm here because of Benicio and AGT
First time heard this song today where have I been what a track beautiful music ❤️
gue kesini setelah lihat penampilan Benecio Bryant bawain lagu The Joke America's Got Talent 2019...emang enak benget lagunya...!
Amazing voice....Mind blowing. Extroardinary Voice, those heart wrenching and haunting lyrics. She is my new favorite artist.
AGT brought m here..lol
Here cause of Aino's performance of this song. I love the lyrics and Aino's version is just so beautiful. Her voice is so special and she's super talented.
This song still makes me choke up so much , so beautiful

She's a killer singer. Wow!
I have 5000000 views Alex Murgueitio
Always loving Brandi Carlile Songs ❤❤❤
I saw the perfomance ay the grammys and have been searching for it for a while now im glad i found it💜😔 ITS SO GREAKING GOOD
I love Brandi Carlile. Two of my favourite songs from "By the Way, I Forgive You" are "The Joke" and "Sugartooth."
I DO like...great music...
We all need to be ourselves regardless of the opinions of others. Lift your head high. You are loved.
That voice is so arresting and genuine. This song and this woman are a masterpiece.
🎼🎼 " I have been to the Movies.. I have seen how it Ends.. and Tha Jokes On THEM..".🎼🎼🖤🦇🦇
Can you tell the meaning of that part pls. Thank youuuuu.
Balsy Halsy same, it made me tear up.
I think it's a simple way of saying we know how it turns out. The "marginalized" and the ones being bullied win in the end.
@@Gab-fc1kfin the end, the good guys win, the bad guys lose.... good will always prevail over evil.
This song is incredibly beautiful....goosebumps. The lows and highs are wonderful.
Just saw Emyrson Flora sing this on American Idol. Such a powerful and beautiful song.
Saw this song on The Voice. Thank you for the lyrics and the beautiful video💞
She killed this
Love this song so much! Amazing Brandi Carlile❤⚘
i found her from Joe Bell.... and a lot more people will... absolutely beautiful..
Maybe it's only me, but I can hear some Bowie in this performance. Great song!
Im here because of the great artist that this is, whos also a great humanitarian and for what this song represents. Dont need any other reason.
Now I have a new song to cry listening to every night starting tonight.
Incredible! Absolutely love her voice & lyrics, my favorite song of time ♥️
I just saw this for the first time on The Voice and thank you for taking the time to share the lyrics!
Absolutely loved her grammy performance of this! She sounds exactly the same live, which I love. That means they dont tweak her voice much if at all...
it's a boy....
You do know Benicio did NOT make this song right? Brandi Carlile is the ORIGINAL artist of this song! Brandi is a WOMAN.Benicio is a boy.
What a beautiful song 🙌
As a amateur songwriter in my humble opinion one of the best songs ever Written
Came here from the voice, there’s no words to describe my feelings .. omg
Can't get tired of listening to this Brandi song...
She’s reduced me to tears
This is the song my brother danced with my mom in his wedding, still make me cry
love brandis music. it was a very generous of her to have benico at her concert and sing with her and by herself.her kindness shows for furure talent to a very nice young man . i just had my big 70 love both of them.
Something about the beginning of this song bringingup a feeling of --- is it Soulfulness??
This song makes us feel better,though it doesnt heal anything
As an Asperger person, I can feel it with every atom of my body!
Love this song..
Never Boring..
Came here .couz of benecio..love it
And this is a beautiful song!
She did an amazing version of this on the Howard Stern Show, too. Incredible song.
