What an excellent crowd. No noise. They are all so captivated by this song. That is the mark of a great band/performance/song.

[@accorsistudios]

such a nice comment. I was at a show last week and hearing a couple chat during a soft song was grating on my patience.

[@sherrybullwinkel2976]

I have seen them perform this song at many shows and the crowd is always silent. This song just washes over the audience every time. Simply stunning.

[@JerkyPuck]

Homeboy singing tenor is jumpin' lines. He is a beast.

[@lobender1]

You can dance in a hurricane; but only if you’re standing in the eye. One of the best lines ever. One of the best harmonies of all time - up there with S&G. I mean, dear God - what can’t they do????

[@lil_alli4481]

One of the best songs ever. The harmony is amazing! Saw them with Heart in September 2019.

[@christinamcclurg2951]

O wow that would've been amazing!

[@jess503]

I can listen to Brandi and The Twins all day long. Wonderful.

[@robgeist5315]

I relate to “making it further because I learned to stay” more than anyone could ever know.

[@almohvn33]

AND... I kept leaving...

[@benhanses]

This song. This version. Breathtaking.
"They're better live". I've heard that countless times about any number of bands.
But this.... THIS version takes the (excellent) studio recording and layers so much rich emotion and texture over top of it.
If there was ever a song that could both break you and build you back up in the span of just a few minutes.... THIS is that song.

[@GeekRex]

Another Brandi gem. I still can't figure out why there isn't more views on this. Beautiful song, talented singing.

[@augustswift5947]

This is what a new legend sounds like.

[@bil94134]

You might make it further if you learn to stay. Perfect lyrics.

[@davidnock4652]

This song is just so perfect!

[@sebastiansorensen5468]

[@brendaspence5230]

Agree!

[@monicahotter6831]

Superb and stunning acoustic performance.

[@Dave-a-rhea]

Sounds exactly like the studio track. So good!

[@vitoriadalmati593]

I felt that ! 0:54 , I never been so fascinated by a voice before like this. It is something real and powerful. Loved it the voice, the singers and the songwriting!!

[@christinamcclurg2951]

Tears welling....So So good!

[@boondocker1219]

I really like this girl

[@johnodonovan4954]

Astounding harmonies, like a lot of people i only came to know of her after Benito Bryant covered The Joke on AGT.

[@husamabed6527]

It touches my heart, and soul deep there. Love

[@danielmcbride2375]

Always tears me up. Such a great song, simple and beautiful.

[@prestonwhite9078]

Genius!

[@taylordw]

Tears to my eyes, both of them.

[@nicholaspaogofie5046]

“This is the song that reveals that there really is no lead singer in this band called Brandi Carlile” As she proceeds to lead this band to the promised land. Love to see it

[@OctoberOhio]

I would pay good money for an album of this trio. WHY OH WHY hasn't it happened?

[@SHaqq-wv9hn]

Another "The ____" song! LOVE them all!😍

[@corrinejacobson9232]

Lovely song, first heard of Brandi Carlile when I saw LeAnn Rimes murdering The Story on a TV show and searched for the original. Fan ever since

At 0:21, someone bumps into an amp with spring reverb.

[@teresaarntson9943]

She’s got the bestest voice I’d love to sing with her I think we could harmonica good together I’d love

[@sebastian_barcelone]

I heard this at coffee rush and now I'm here.

[@sherrylennondewitt4102]

The eye is all seeing and can clearly see you

[@karenwebbkryder6562]

[@shawnpreston7146]

[@williamhartnett4060]

lorrie morgan

[@OctoberOhio]

The ONLY song that matters from this woman. ALL others are crap.

[@OctoberOhio]

Brandi is a hack without the twins. SHE SHOULD MAKE THEM PART OF HER. She is nothing without them.
