I sing this song to the babies in the ICU when they wake up in the middle of the night. It makes me choke up every time, and my own “babies” are in their 20’s. This song speaks to what every mother feels.
As a mother of a baby who spent over 284 days of her first year in NICU and PICU... THANK YOU. 🧡 It was rare that I was not there for her, but everyone who cared for my baby extended the reach of my own soul. I appreciate you.
Too bad the woman singing the song believes it's okay to kill a child in the womb. For any reason. Including defects. Many grown adults are living great lives even though their parents said they should abort. Many famous people doing really well were saved by a mother who chose not to kill their child in the womb.
My Mom has been gone since 1995, and I miss her every, single day. The greatest person I will ever know. I was adopted too and she told me I wasn't an accident. Pure Love.
I am a new mother of an Evangeline. I am 44 and never wanted kids because I loved my childless life, but she's been a literal angel and the sweetest thing I've ever known. This song made me tear up. 😭😭😭😭
I never knew how deeply I could love until I became a mother. Nor how to find more of myself to give when I had nothing left. Welcome to the experience and congratulations.
How lucky we are to be alive in the 21st century! Not that long ago Brandi and her wife might not have been mothers. I’m so happy to be a witness to the good changes in the world.
I discovered Brandi years ago. And I sing her to my daughter almost every night....and with this song my heart swells. My daughter's middle name is Evangeline.
My youngest is 6 now, but her first two weeks were hell of non-stop breastfeeding, holding, and literally never sleeping more than 30 minutes in a row. Thankfully, her pediatrician helped and it got better. I was delirious but in love. And had an army of helpers to hold that precious girl who never slept unless she was held so I could recover.
Keep praying 🙏 always amen and read Matthew 24 all of it and then John 3 16 then revaluation allso and read Daniel allso and read Matthew 25 allso amen and read 1&2 Timothy and then Ezekiel chapter 12 and 13 and 14 and then Ezekiel chapter 33 34 35
Love is hard to find......regardless of what your preference is. I am as happy as hell that Brandi is not afraid of diversity, breast feeding, reality and encourages community. I never wanted kids but enjoy my niece and nephew. Thank you Brandi for all you do to the world. You are a bright shining light.
I cried when they showed the mother pumping. I spent thousands of hours fighting for milk for my tube fed little girl. I felt seen and honored for my love for my baby.
Lost my mother three years ago. Hardest point of adversity in my life. She was all of this and so much more. I am now a mother and understand. I can only hope I was as good as she was.
What a beautiful tribute to mothers. I am a retired labor and delivery nurse and lactation consultant. This video honors every mother I ever knew. I am so blessed to have been a part of your hourney.
❤❤❤ Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind You're tethered to another and you're worried all the time You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme She's fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn't look like me She made me love the morning, she's a holiday at sea The New York streets are busy as they always used to be But I am the mother of Evangeline The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep She filled my life with color, canceled plans, and trashed my car But none of that was ever who we are Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow I'll hold you while you're sleeping and I wish that I could go All my rowdy friends are out accomplishing their dreams But I am the mother of Evangeline And they've still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time And they still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and the wine Oh, but all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time From inside of the ages through your eyes You are not an accident where no one thought it through The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you And when we chose your name we knew that you'd fight the power too You're nothing short of magical and beautiful to me Oh, I'll never hit the big time without you So they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine 'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine 'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline Ooh Ooh Ooh ❤❤❤❤❤
This song gives me a glimpse of what mother's love is like...how a mum can be grateful to have a daughter...it helps people to change their thinking when they had an abusive childhood....thanks Brandi ❤️
„They still got their morning paper, and their coffee and their time...“ this is the part that always gets me. It’s so true, and so so beautifully sung. I think every parent can relate. Thank you for what you do, Brandi.
A mother's love and sacrifice portrayed at its best. Brandi Carlile sang for all the moms out there. Love always. "You are not an accident." Awwww ..just when I think I can't be loved more than this.💓💓💓
I'm a first time mum to my 4 month old baby girl. Every time I'm having a crap day I come back to this song, the lyrics are so true! I can't get through the song without crying 😭😭
I have have a little girl named Evangeline. Just discovered this song about two years ago and it has been our getting ready for school song every since haha! We sing it together! ❤ we love this song!!! Thank you Brandi ❤
I am the mother of my twin daughters teenagers now and yes worried all the time ...It is like your heart walking outside your body ..They are so amazing and I am so proud of them. I had a super wonderful mom as well ,miss her everyday .She died way too young in her 50"s.
Totally made me cry. Being the mother of two very amazing girls has been my greatest part of life, without question. They've changed me in a thousand ways...and all for the better.
I have a one year old baby girl, my first. Her name is Evangeline. And as I sit here at this kitchen table, working at one AM, I’m so thankful for her and all she is. So blessed to be her mama.
Love love love. The part that got me was the "simple" act of letting the little kiddos press the elevator button and knock on the door. It's the tiny things in the day the take us parents a few extra moments (and patience!) and give us our children the incredible opportunities to grow their self confidence and agency. (Love my spunky, strong 3 year old!)
Brandi, You are a precious gift to all who get to hear and feel your talent, your soul, your music. Your grace and love for all shows through your music. I can visualize so much good coming from your words.
Thank you for writing this. We had to fight for our Evangeline this time last year when she was born way too early...we just celebrated her first birthday and this song is perfect. I’ll never hear it without getting tears.
Named Evangeline for Eve's Angel? Brandi, you have some of the most powerful music I've ever heard. There are literally lines in your songs that make me wonder if you know what I think about. I can't thank you enough for giving "The Machine" the bird!
You would be AMAZED at the things you will go through for your children. I have been through hell and back for all of my children (especially my eldest, who has MANY special needs); Yet, no matter how much you suffer for them, it only makes you love them more... how strange motherhood is... strange and beautiful, and I wouldn't change ANYTHING about it. This song brings tears to my eyes
God this is so beautiful. Anyone who gets choked up with love when they simply watch mothers reacting to their children will love this as much as I do, I'm sure. There's so much love between them it's almost overwhelming to witness, even for me, as an observer. I miss my darling mum so much. She passed away back in 1992 and I still feel her love, even though I'm 67 years old now. God bless her and all mothers of the world. Someone told me once, that nobody, NOBODY in your life will ever love you like your mother, and I believe that's true.
Grown man here and I’m in 😭 our moms and woman in general are a lot stronger than they can ever know ❤️ you are strong and amazing ladies there is a world because of you ♥️ I just wanna hug my mom I can’t wait to see her later on today ❤️
This song makes me ball!!!! 😭😭 “Oh, but all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time. From inside of the ages through your eyes!” Nothing like the life of a child. sooooooooooooooooo worth it ❤️
In all my years in newborn care and the NICU I was continually impressed with the desire, the effort of both mothers and fathers to be the best parents they could be. Not all knew what a good parent looked like, or had the resources internally to carry out their desire nor the ability to overcome the obstacles in their life, but every single one wanted to be the best they could be. It is who we are as humans, mammals, living creatures.
I saw her sing this on a free PBS concert on TV in a really cool cave venue somewhere ( I think it was in the Appalachian Mtns.). I have been there before, but I live in NYC. It was such a treat, and the first time I heard her! I love this song! I get goosebumps when I hear this song! What a voice ❤️
I always revisit this around Mother’s Day. Our Evangeline is turning 3 in the next couple of days as well and I’m just a mess of emotions. The sacrifice of motherhood is my ministry and I’m thankful for it.
My daughter introduced me to Brandis music and it was just another gift she has given me! Thank you for so much and so many things my beautiful Samantha!
This is beautiful Brandi. As a daughter of a beautiful mother, thank you for making this music video that portrays such a raw and accurate depiction of the love of a mother and the sacrifices they make. I’m now in college, and don’t get to visit home as often as I would like, but this video brought back childhood memories of my my early years with my mom. One thing I’ve learned as I soon enter my twenties is that without mother’s we would all not be the people we are today. We need strong Mammas.
The mother Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind You're tethered to another and you're worried all the time You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme She's fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn't look like me She made me love the morning, she's a holiday at sea The New York streets are busy as they always used to be But I am the mother of Evangeline The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep She filled my life with color, canceled plans, and trashed my car But none of that was ever who we are Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow I'll hold you while you're sleeping and I wish that I could go All my rowdy friends are out accomplishing their dreams But I am the mother of Evangeline And they've still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time And they still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and the wine Oh, but all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time From inside of the ages through your eyes You are not an accident where no one thought it through The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you And when we chose your name we knew that you'd fight the power too You're nothing short of magical and beautiful to me Oh, I'll never hit the big time without you So they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine 'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine 'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline Ooh Ooh Ooh
I always encourage people to wish their mothers Happy Mother's Day but realize time is a gift. Spend time, call and make your mom a priority every day possible. It truly sucks when you can't because they're gone.
“All the forces on this planet, will never beat that of a mother's love.” So amazing Brandi. I had to grab a couple tissues during this one. ♥ Happy early Mother's Day to all you amazing women out there! (And you dads too!)
I have just discovered Brandi through our fellow Canadian icon,Joni Mitchell. She has such a wonderful friendship with Joni. Thank you Brandi for this,Joni is and always been one of my favorite singers. Love and Prayers from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸🙏
I love your music and story telling. I just purchased your book,Broken Horses. These songs have such heart,strength and courage. When I listen to this song,its so true I don't know if I want to laugh or cry. My children are grown and now raising thier young children, and I sing your songs to my grandbabies. Your unique voice and the band playing is what I use to relax,reflect and share my feelings of longing. Thank you, stay humble.
I needed a dose of this! I have 12month twin boys & currently 30wks pregnant w/ my first daughter. I’m scared! I can hardly move now from a long round of seizures. So looking for some nice, lovely encouraging or just positive music to breathe along to in order to keep me going. This was nice. 🎶💕☺️
Brandi Carlile she can never do wrong another amazing, poignant song, I wish she would get the credit she so richly deserve in the music industry. She one heck of an artist keep doing you and being a light.
We can be of any age, and we are still our babies to our mommas, I love my mom from the depths of my soul, and I can never give her enough credit for being there for me when I need her most. I look at my mom everyday and see the exhaustion from a hard day's work, and wonder, how does she do it? A mother's love is the strongest thing out there, nothing can break it
Wonderful, makes me cry. I like the touch at the end where everyone is going to bed except one Mom who has to get up, making you think of Moms getting up for feedings
I sing this song to the babies in the ICU when they wake up in the middle of the night. It makes me choke up every time, and my own “babies” are in their 20’s. This song speaks to what every mother feels.
As a mother of a baby who spent over 284 days of her first year in NICU and PICU...

This is true love. I hope there's a place in your heart that knows you'll be reunited with your mother soon. She sounds like a beautiful person 💕💕💕
I am a new mother of an Evangeline. I am 44 and never wanted kids because I loved my childless life, but she's been a literal angel and the sweetest thing I've ever known. This song made me tear up. 😭😭😭😭
I’m also a mother to an Evangeline! She’s the light of my life!
She a angel look in the middle of her name also I am evangeline the bringer of joy
Welcome to Motherhood! All the best to you and your Evangeline.
I never knew how deeply I could love until I became a mother. Nor how to find more of myself to give when I had nothing left.
Welcome to the experience and congratulations.
I can't watch this without crying, and I am not even a mother yet. Wow, Brandi. So much heart.
Me too.
But you’re a daughter. 🌸 And I’m a father of three and can’t stop crying.
Same here!
Libby Arnosti SAME, and I’m a guy!

I’ll never get through this song dry eyed❤️
Steph RossBrown me neither. 😢😊
Same💗
😭😭😭
me neither, and I'm not even a parent... yet...
Same. I always think about my mom when I hear this song.
"The first thing she took from me was selfishness and sleep" oooh. I felt that hard!! This song brought tears to my eyes! So sweet and true!
My youngest is 6 now, but her first two weeks were hell of non-stop breastfeeding, holding, and literally never sleeping more than 30 minutes in a row.
Thankfully, her pediatrician helped and it got better. I was delirious but in love. And had an army of helpers to hold that precious girl who never slept unless she was held so I could recover.
My mom gone since 1974 and I still miss her and i'm 72!
😭😭😭😭
Oh. I know. What a void.
That. Is. Love.
Keep praying 🙏 always amen and read Matthew 24 all of it and then John 3 16 then revaluation allso and read Daniel allso and read Matthew 25 allso amen and read 1&2 Timothy and then Ezekiel chapter 12 and 13 and 14 and then Ezekiel chapter 33 34 35

Wow! I’m 75 ... how have I not known about this amazing woman? This video brought tears. It truly did. 👏🏻👏🏻
My daughters name is Evangeline and this is word for word like I wrote it about my Evangeline. X ❤
Love is hard to find......regardless of what your preference is. I am as happy as hell that Brandi is not afraid of diversity, breast feeding, reality and encourages community.

I'm a father and this song makes my cry and laugh at the same time. Glad I discovered this today

What a beautiful tribute to mothers. I am a retired labor and delivery nurse and lactation consultant. This video honors every mother I ever knew. I am so blessed to have been a part of your hourney.
Every time I put this song on I always tear up immediately!
Me too dis song all about me 😢
❤❤❤
Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind
You're tethered to another and you're worried all the time
You always knew the melody but you never heard it rhyme
She's fair and she is quiet, Lord, she doesn't look like me
She made me love the morning, she's a holiday at sea
The New York streets are busy as they always used to be
But I am the mother of Evangeline
The first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep
She broke a thousand heirlooms I was never meant to keep
She filled my life with color, canceled plans, and trashed my car
But none of that was ever who we are
Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow
I'll hold you while you're sleeping and I wish that I could go
All my rowdy friends are out accomplishing their dreams
But I am the mother of Evangeline
And they've still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time
And they still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and the wine
Oh, but all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time
From inside of the ages through your eyes
You are not an accident where no one thought it through
The world has stood against us, made us mean to fight for you
And when we chose your name we knew that you'd fight the power too
You're nothing short of magical and beautiful to me
Oh, I'll never hit the big time without you
So they can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
They can keep their treasure and their ties to the machine
'Cause I am the mother of Evangeline
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
❤❤❤❤❤
wahyu andika thanks ❤️❤️❤️
This song gives me a glimpse of what mother's love is like...how a mum can be grateful to have a daughter...it helps people to change their thinking when they had an abusive childhood....thanks Brandi ❤️
I am a father. This is so beautiful, it has me crying. So much love
I love this tribute to mothers. They do so much for us that we don't even realize or appreciate.
Wonderfully and simply said.
Whoever doesn’t like Brandi Carlile I will never understand. She’s a queen of gold
I'm a father and this hits all the right notes with me. I am so glad I found this song.
Lost my mom. Will never ever be the same. This reminds me of her. My angel. God Bless❤❤❤❤
definitely just cried my way through my morning coffee. this is so beautiful - sent it to every momma i know.
Good moms are the absolute best humanity has to offer.
I could listen to this 100 times and still miss my (very grown) boys each time. Beautiful lyrics, lovely music, outstanding performance.
A Mother’s Love is Eternal. Thank you Brandi 💙

My mother acknowledges that I was unplanned but I was not an accident.
This is why.
I'm a first time mum to my 4 month old baby girl. Every time I'm having a crap day I come back to this song, the lyrics are so true! I can't get through the song without crying 😭😭
It's still true at 6 and 14.
This nearly broke me..... how beautiful. I love you, Brandi❤️

o my gosh Brandi. This is heart warming. I love you so much ! This is so amazing 💕💕💕💕💕💕
In all my years in newborn care and the NICU I was continually impressed with the desire, the effort of both mothers and fathers to be the best parents they could be.

My daughters with their children are the greatest gift of my life. Each of them is so special.
Brandi you're such an incredible artist 😍😍
I saw her sing this on a free PBS concert on TV in a really cool cave venue somewhere ( I think it was in the Appalachian Mtns.). I have been there before, but I live in NYC. It was such a treat, and the first time I heard her! I love this song! I get goosebumps when I hear this song! What a voice ❤️
This is for all of the Mother's in 2019. Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mothers Day to all who are the mother, step up as the mother, who play dual roles. This world is a more beautiful place ,with you in it!🌸💝
I always revisit this around Mother’s Day. Our Evangeline is turning 3 in the next couple of days as well and I’m just a mess of emotions. The sacrifice of motherhood is my ministry and I’m thankful for it.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mama's! I just sent this sweet Brandi video to mine.
Oh, but all the wonders I have seen, I will see a second time
From inside of the ages through your eyes
Dad here. Beautiful song. Thank you Brandi.
I can't watch this song without tears, motherhood is such an emotional experience both high and low. There's nothing like it!
My daughter introduced me to Brandis music and it was just another gift she has given me! Thank you for so much and so many things my beautiful Samantha!
I love your honesty in your songs, the harsh facts put to music and beauty, just as our children are to our lives forever
No matter if you dont understand english, just listen, watch and feel. Another great performance from Brandi.
Mothers are Gods! Thank you Brandi ❤️❤️
Indeed they are.
What a sweet and bitter song at the same time. Mums are the best.
Crying my eyes out. Love this. Happy Mothers Day to mamas everywhere!
I love my mother and I really miss her , I haven't seen her for 6 months now :(
This is beautiful Brandi. As a daughter of a beautiful mother, thank you for making this music video that portrays such a raw and accurate depiction of the love of a mother and the sacrifices they make.

A very beautiful song for mothers . Thank you Ms.Carlile and all of the musicians for this song and video . 🤩🙏🤩
What a gorgeous, beautiful video.
So beautiful! I lost my mom when I was 10 years old (in 1983), but I am so grateful for both my beautiful mom and my powerhouse step-mom. ❤️

Lovely! I'm watching this while pumping at work! 😂

So many simple truths of motherhood. Thank you, Brandi. xx
She always sounds amazing, but this is a beautiful song in every respect.
I always encourage people to wish their mothers Happy Mother's Day but realize time is a gift. Spend time, call and make your mom a priority every day possible. It truly sucks when you can't because they're gone.
So much love Brandi
"I'll never hit the big time without you " that lines gets me t he most for some reason
I can't stop crying, now I wanna call my mom -- even though I saw her literally two days ago
My mom abused me and she was a drug addict, but I have been adopted and my family loves me so much
I'm 64 was abandoned,.but so loved by my precious Grannie.

Granny's are the best!
“All the forces on this planet, will never beat that of a mother's love.” So amazing Brandi. I had to grab a couple tissues during this one. ♥ Happy early Mother's Day to all you amazing women out there! (And you dads too!)
I love this woman! This is such a beautiful video to accompany an already beautiful song!
I love you!!! Hampton Beach. Always remember that Old Soul! Blessingzzz 🌺
This brought me, my mother, and my daughter to tears. Bravo.
Ugh my Pisces heart cant take it! Currently crying thinking about my beautiful daughter. She truly is the light of my life.

When I listen to this song,its so true I don't know if I want to laugh or cry. My children are grown and now raising thier young children, and I sing your songs to my grandbabies. Your unique voice and the band playing is what I use to relax,reflect and share my feelings of longing. Thank you, stay humble.
I needed a dose of this! I have 12month twin boys & currently 30wks pregnant w/ my first daughter. I’m scared!
I can hardly move now from a long round of seizures. So looking for some nice, lovely encouraging or just positive music to breathe along to in order to keep me going.
This was nice. 🎶💕☺️

Brandi Carlile she can never do wrong another amazing, poignant song, I wish she would get the credit she so richly deserve in the music industry. She one heck of an artist keep doing you and being a light.

30 seconds later: 😭😭😭 GODDAMN IT
¡Ser madre es lo mejor que me ha pasado en mi vida!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Hermosa canción, gracias ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We can be of any age, and we are still our babies to our mommas, I love my mom from the depths of my soul, and I can never give her enough credit for being there for me when I need her most. I look at my mom everyday and see the exhaustion from a hard day's work, and wonder, how does she do it? A mother's love is the strongest thing out there, nothing can break it
Well done. Great reminder of what’s truly important in life.
Omg Brandi! My heart!!!!! You captured motherhood so perfectly! A million times thank you!!!!!
My one year old is called Evangeline and I’ve only just stumbled across this song
Lol what’s the odds
my name is Evangelina 😎
Such a beautiful name ❤
Same. My Evangeline turns 1 in 2 weeks. 💕
Wonderful, makes me cry.
I like the touch at the end where everyone is going to bed except one Mom who has to get up, making you think of Moms getting up for feedings
Brandi is always incredible 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠💖💚🇧🇷
