    Late 2023, still watching our lovely and brilliant Brandi Carlile❣️ What a supreme talent❣️❣️❣️🎶

    First time i saw and heard Brandi was in Glasgow around 2009, she was supporting Newton Faulkner. I had never heard of her. I arrived early stood about 6ft from a very low stage, out she came with a smile, totally relaxed, and started her set with Late Morning Lullaby.
    I still remember the goosebumps, as i stood there in complete awe, and i have seen many many bands and artists over the years. She is without doubt the best female artist i have ever seen.
    I saw her again in Glasgow a few months later headlining her own show. Utterly brilliant. Hallelujah performed to perfection both times, effortlessly.
    I also had the privilege of speaking with her on both occasions. What a modest, humble and friendly human being. Brilliant song writer, and performer. Real music, about real life, talent oozing from her. What a voice.!!

    My husband and I flew into Chicago just to catch Brandi’s concert back in 2012. I volunteered to sign up concert goers before the concert started. It was a Wonderful experience as we paid for great seats and we were given back stage passes to meet Brandi. She was incredibly kind and thoughtful. I asked her what prompted her to write Pride and Joy. She thought carefully then said it had to do with an argument she had with her Mom when she was 17. I appreciated her openness and honesty. That concert and meeting will go down as one of my most memorable life experiences. Glad people are appreciating the talent she was blessed with.

    • @camsasser

      Thank you so much for sharing what Brandi said "Pride and Joy" meant to her! I've been listening to it for years, and it always makes me think of my mom and our very complicated relationship. I really love knowing this, because I always felt it is written about her own mother somehow. What a fantastic experience you had, getting to meet her backstage!

So i dedicate this song to Mei, her sis and Mom and especially her father who has a rare form of cancer an d of course my dad. It's hard when you're 79/80 to go tru this horrible disease. So for our superhero dads. ROCK ON! WE LOVE YOU WITH ALL OUR WAKING BREATH AND HEART......YVONNE & MEI

      And I'm discovering her tonight. I was drawn to look up Emmy Lou Harris's haunting song "Red Girl" that I heard playing back in the kitchen at a retreat I was on over the weekend. I noticed a cover by Brandi Carlile from a Prairie Home Companion. That led to finding this deeply moving version of Cohen's anthem. Yes, Robert B. You have summed up the elements of the song beautifully.

    That David played and it pleased the Lord
    But you don't really care for music, do ya?
    It goes like this:
    The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
    The baffled king composing Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Your faith was strong but you needed proof
    You saw her bathing on the roof
    Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
    She tied you to her kitchen chair
    she broke your throne and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew a Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, yeah
    Well darling I've been here before
    I've seen this room I have walked these floors
    You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
    I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    And love is not a victory march
    It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, woah
    Hallelujah
    Oh yeah babe
    [instrumental]
    There was a time when you let me know
    What's really going on below
    But now you never show that to me do ya Remember when I moved in you
    The holy dove was moving too
    And every breath you drew was Hallelujah
    It was Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelu-jah
    So maybe there's a God above
    But all I ever learned from love
    Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
    It’s not a cry that you hear in the night
    It's not somebody who's seen the light
    It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
    It was Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah

      "In her rendition, on the other hand, Brandi Carlile is able to make herself an instrument upon which the song plays, rather than needing to wrestle with and vanquish it. Her version foregrounds the song, not herself or her voice; it is, we might say, an appropriately reverential take for a song called “Hallelujah.” It succeeds not vis-à-vis some canonical version of the song, because this is a song with no original-only covers" ....from an article in the Atlantic about the many covers of Hallelujah. Couldn't agree more with the authors assessment of Brandi's cover...

The last time I’d heard such a voice it was the first time I’d heard Jeff Buckley sing “Hallelujah”, it’s no wonder she covered this song and brought her own uniqueness to it while doing so. Thank you Brandi, you just made my day.

      I stumbled on to her after listening to a commercial and I wanted to know the song - it was "The Story." Ever since, I have to say, she is #1 voice and folk performer for me right now. Makes me cry sometimes when she sings. We're blessed with her talent, lucky to hear her voice and emotion.

      I think kd at Vancouver Olympics is incredible, but something about this being an impromptu encore request at Newport Folk makes it something special in its own right. Jeff Buckley's version has always been my favorite because it introduced me to this song, but Brandi blends Buckley's emotion and kd's power to create a stunning rendition. You can tell she has heard arguably the 2 best and created another perfect interpretation that brought me to tears.

    I've never seen this song covered with such emotion, passion, heart, soul and beauty as this one. This ranks up there with the live covers of Rufus Wainwright, k d lang, and John Cale. Brandi Carlile put everything into this song. I saw Leonard Cohen perform this live in 1984, 2009, & 2012. He was a true icon, yet he was a very gentle , humble performer, who let the immense body of his work, speak for itself. Even though he has moved on to another plane of existence, "We have the music". RIP Mr. Cohen. Peace

    • @michaellander741
      @michaellander741 6 лет назад +8

      People need to stop covering this song. Cohen himself was burnt out on the number of covers. But this is an exception. Carlisle could cover the opening to Cheers and it would be well done.
