BRANDI CARLILE performs PARTY OF ONE with the SEATTLE SYMPHONY on 2/23/20 at BENAROYA HALL

This already gorgeous contemporary classic about a love that absolutely refuses to be lost becomes even more beautiful here, thanks to all those sensational (Seattle!) strings ... as arranged by the late great Paul Buckmaster. I hope his soundtrack in Heaven is as lovely as the music that he left for us on Earth. ❤🕊

Guitar: Tim Hanseroth

Paul Buckmaster and I were friends for the last seven years of his life. I loved him and his music. I cried the first time I heard his work on this song, knowing it was among his final pieces of work.

Thanks for sharing that. He had a stirring touch... one we're unlikely to feel again.

Except for an acoustic set by Lily Kershaw in Philadelphia about eight days later on March 2, 2020, this was the last song I heard live in concert before the Covid-19 pandemic. Although Brandi had probably planned on closing her three-night engagement at Benaroya Hall with this favorite of many (it was not in the set the other two nights), I had made a comment on one of her Instagram posts requesting it and so when she started playing it I got pretty emotional and was literally shaking at the end as I recorded it. "We'll see you at The Gorge!" Sadly it was not to be, but live music will be born again... Until that time, I return to this, always with tears of gratitude, joy and hope, again and again.
