    This song got me through the toughest time in my entire life. At a time when I didn't want to be alive (and even, at one point, tried not to be) I was encouraged to see Brandi for free at a local venue. She wasn't big at the time and had very little fame or notoriety. I was really enjoying the concert, then this song came on. It hit me in a way that made me feel unlike I ever had before. All of my pain and my sadness felt so real and so recognized. I felt validated, loved, understood, and moved all at the same time by these three incredible artists. The lyrics of the song itself. The beautiful, haunting melody. I broke down to tears and have been following Brandi and the twins ever since. They changed my life for the better, and it was this song that did it.

      I’m glad you made it through. But I don’t know how you manage to see her at a local venue, and thought that she hadn’t made it big yet… If she was playing this song- she’d been around 10yrs, with her 1st big hit “The Story” was played everywhere 7yrs before The Eye was released- people singing it on American Idol even years before this. So u were lucky u got a small show somehow (unless you’re telling me she was singing this song many years before it was released?)
      Take care :)

    Wow...what a freakin' good song this is...
    I'm nearly 70 years old and I thought music had died back in the seventies when disco got popular. I pretty much quit listening for over 30 years. Then my son turned me on to this kind of stuff--Americana, folk...whatever...and now I realize that music is better than ever. I hardly ever listen to the old stuff anymore. There's a radio station in my neck of the woods--western North Carolina--that plays Americana all the time, along with blues, old time country, new style bluegrass....WNCW out of Spindale...I've been going nuts discovering all the wonderful music being played these days. Makes old age a hell of a lot more pleasant to deal with...lol...

      ***** Yeah, pretty much...radio wasn't worth a shit anymore...I was burned out on listening to the same old stuff I'd been hearing since the 60's...so music just didn't play a major part in my life for a long time...now it does again.

    So, she breaks through with "What Can I Say?" and people say, "Damn, she's a bright talent with a lot of promise. I wonder if she can live up to it?" Then, she follows up with "Late Morning Lullaby," "The Story," "Josephine," etc. and they're wowed for the temporal moment of a young star flourishing. But that moment can't last. Young stars are fleeting things in this day and age. So when she returns with "That Year," they're a bit taken aback that she's recreated brilliance again. But surely she can't keep it up. Even the most profound creative forces have their ebbs and flows. Then, "That Wasn't Me." How could someone's music continue to become so much richer, so much more beautiful, yet somehow every bit as raw as when we first heard it? Where's the fall-off? It has to be at "Bear Creek," it just has to.
    What I've just heard in the last 3:48 might be the single finest song Brandi Carlile and the twins have released. For all the words that I've wasted in this mess of a comment, I have only one for "The Eye" - timeless. Timeless.

    "The Eye"
    It really breaks my heart
    To see a dear old friend
    Go down in the worn old place again
    Do you know the sound
    Of a closing door?
    Have you heard that sound somewhere before?
    Do you wonder if she knows you anymore?
    I wrapped your love around me like a chain
    But I never was afraid that it would die
    You can dance in a hurricane
    But only if you’re standing in the eye
    Where did you learn to walk?
    Where did you learn to run?
    Away from everything you love
    Did you think the bottle
    Would ever ease your pain?
    Did you think that love’s a foolish game?
    Did you find someone else to take the blame?
    I wrapped your love around me like a chain
    But I never was afraid that it would die
    You can dance in a hurricane
    But only if you’re standing in the eye
    You can dance in a hurricane
    But only if you’re standing in the eye
    I am a sturdy soul
    And there ain't no shame
    In lying down in the bed you've made
    Can you fight the urge to run for another day?
    You might make it further if you learn to stay
    I wrapped your love around me like a chain
    But I never was afraid that it would die
    You can dance in a hurricane
    But only if you’re standing in the eye
    You can dance in a hurricane
    But only if you’re standing in the eye

      LebannersHook tempo has nothing to do with "genre", this song could be considered either country or folk. I would steer towards country because of the vernacular and chosen accent she sings with. "Folk" isn't distinctly American, I would describe this accent vocally as "American". Just my two cents....

    Driving back home from a Springsteen concert, I popped in a new CD that I hadn’t listened to yet, The Firewatcher’s Daughter. When The Eye came on, I played it on repeat 15 times until I knew every word. I HAD to know every word. I was mesmerized. Still am, every time I hear it.

  • @rdm1000
    @rdm1000 3 года назад +32

    The year Brandi released "The Eye" it was the best song of the year. It is one of the best songs every written. Simply, she was robbed of the grammy, or the accolades, of the applause. The song is magic, the singing is magic. The first time I heard it was watching this video - I was rendered mute. It was that perfect. I would say I'm surprised that the music industry, like the movie industry has all their heads firmly up their a**es, but I'm not. Most of the awards are a joke. They do not honor greatness. They award popularity, and less worthy individuals. One might say it comes down to opinion. And that may be. But at least on this score, my opinion is correct. This was the song of the year. And five years later I still listen and am still wowed.

      It's because the American public is brainwashed to mediocrity. Once in a while today a great talent emerges, but the record companies want things that don't take risks with their money. So what you end up with is mediocrity. That's why you have to listen to the indies to hear anything close to good.

    This has got to be, at least for me at this time in my life, the most hauntingly melancholy yet at the same time the most soul soothing and comforting piece of music I could have ever chosen to be listening to. Always loved Brandi but even more than that right now I feel truly blessed to finally again be letting music, my number one therapy, my long time best friend back into my life. I am no longer afraid of becoming overwhelmed with sadness when listening to the music my ears, my mind and most of all my soul craves. If I shed some tears hearing that one bar with its melodically gorgeous key change or if certain lyrics combined with voices in miraculous harmony become so intense and beautiful that it draws out my obvious need to release my strong pent up emotions, then I have nothing to fear. For too long I avoided music not wanting to get too sad or even depressed. Instead I was depriving myself of my "BFF" music and much worse off in its absence.

    Extraordinary. Read her autobiography. She had a interesting and often tortured life that she honestly shared but ultimately with rewards, including meeting and marrying Catherine Shepherd. I also recommend the audio version which includes some wonderful music following every chapter (representing those times of her life). An album version of those songs would perfect to own. I have listen to and admired Brandi Carlile since she released her first album in 2006.

  • @SpanishGingerCookie
    @SpanishGingerCookie 9 лет назад +37

    When I first listened to this song, I just thought about how cool it was to listen to Brandi and the twins' voice again and that the music was very relaxing and such... but then I decided to look up the lyrics and that's when this song destroyed me. Now I can't listen to it without my eyes tearing up. It just hits me because it talks about something that every single one of us has experienced at least once and yeah, it hurt at the moment, it still hurts right now and it sure will hurt pretty much forever. Thank you guys for digging once more into our souls and connecting us to our feelings, which are what keep us alive.

    This song is perfect!!!! It's amazing that Brandi has a very long career and I didn't know about her because the music industry just wants to give us pop artists without talent. I knew about her because at the end of a movie (The Sweet Life) a song from her is played and I loved it so much that I looked for it on Shazam. Since then I keep listening to her wonderful music. Super singer and songwriter; better human being. I love her with all my being. I hope to see her perform live someday.

    Go down to the worn out place again
    Do you know the sound
    Of a closing door?
    Have you heard that sound somewhere before?
    Do you wonder if she knows you anymore?
    I wrapped your love around me like a chain
    But I never was afraid that it would die
    You can dance in a hurricane
    But only if you’re standing in the eye
    Where did you learn to walk?
    Where did you learn to run?
    Away from everything you love
    Did you think the bottle
    Would ever ease your pain?
    Did you think that love’s a foolish game?
    Did you find someone else to take the blame?
    I wrapped your love around me like a chain
    But I never was afraid that it would die
    You can dance in a hurricane
    But only if you’re standing in the eye
    You can dance in a hurricane
    But only if you’re standing in the eye
    I am a sturdy soul
    And there ain't no shame
    In lying down in the bed you made
    Can you fight the urge to run for another day?
    You might make it further if you learn to stay
    I wrapped your love around me like a chain
    But I never was afraid that it would die
    You can dance in a hurricane
    But only if you’re standing in the eye
    You can dance in a hurricane
    But only if you’re standing in the eye

    Sometimes Brandi writes a song that speaks to my soul---this is one of those without a doubt. She's elegantly soft spoken for lack of a better phrase; subtle and wonderfully profound might describe her lyrics better? The Story (song) is a masterpiece, this one rivals it--also love the vocal harmonies with The Twins---just amazing!
