Your comment made me think of the song Most of All. It's my favorite song that she and the Twins shared with the world.

[@lauracdavisable]

I gave custody of my daughter to her dad, when she was 3. It took a lot to get back in that girls life. I started going into BHU, and women's jails to talk with other moms who couldn't be with their children. What i know is this: As long as you are both still on this planet, there's chance for reunification, and redemption. Children want to love their moms. We need to give them someone worthwhile to love. I'm grateful for the recovery community, who helped give my daughter back her mother. and bonus, i have a granddaughter now, whose never seen me drunk.

You should be very proud! I am an addict, too, and it has taken many years to get through my son's anger...starting at the lovely, rage-filled age of 14. It's 20 years later and I am a G-ma, too, of a 14 year old(yikes). Those scars from the rough road are my internal Tribal tattoos.

[@saganoelle8039]

I wish I could explain to you how much comfort your words gave me tonight. As a grown child (26 soon) to my wonderfully flawed and beautiful mother who was in jail as well as an alcoholic, this just sits in a comfortable and warm place with me. Sorry for my English it's not my first language. Thank you, dearest, sweetest stranger!

That's a big one. I'm grateful my kids and niblings get to know their papa sober, and get to reap the benefits of the recovery process that we went through as young ones. A nephew was denied candy by my dad, and was screaming "PAPA's MEAN" and I wanted to say "you haven't seen nuthin' honey."

For a little while, I felt a little bit lovable when Willie Nelson came to sing for us in prison. I feel that again right now. I don't feel lovable sometimes, so from the bottom of my heart, I love you and thank you.

[@oldkid7255]

Tim when I read that you felt lovable instead of loved it made perfect sense to me. You actually defined something for me that I never understood. Through my life many people have said they loved me but after reading your words I understand why I still feel the void. A lot of my life as I get it now I don't feel lovable. I carry the weight of all I've done wrong and still feel the shame and pain for all of it. Almost 33 years clean and 62 years old I get beat up by my "other " life. Things are going pretty good for the most part for me these days but I still walk alone inside often. Anyways thanks for helping an old man get closer to the truth of who I really am.

Oh man, same. From the first time I listened to the lyrics The Story. We’ve traveled across the country for her concerts, and have been in the front row several times, including their recent taping at Austin City Limits. I average about one song before I break down. Huge snotty gulping crying. One time, she noticed me up front and actually looked concerned....I gave her a thumbs up and she smiled. I’m ok, keep playing! Mind you, I’m a 50 year old biker. I never cry. I don’t know what it is about her and her music, but it rips a huge hole in me and all the emotions come out. When I’m being an asshole, my wife will tell me “go and listen to Brandi so you’ll cry and be nice again.” 🤦‍♂️

[@jaythrone877]

One of the biggest fears you face as an inmate is that you will be forgotten. By your friends, by your families, by society. Thank you Brandi Carlile for bringing these women in view and for using your voice and talents to highlight their voices. You sing a John Prine song, Hello In There, these inmates when they are interned and after they are released need someone to say hello in there. As you point, we could all be there, this was realized in the Gospels, what we must do now is forgive and accept. Say hello in there and help these people do not be afraid of them and never let them be forgotten.

When she has finished singing her songs Brandi can put on her coat and leave, something that her audience cannot do. We all make mistakes in life, we all do things we regret. My hope for these women is that when the time comes that they are released they can turn the page and start a new chapter in their lives, one that has a happy ending. And thanks to Brandi Carlile for all that you do to be a point of light in the darkness.

[@jessicamoore1314]

I am a deafened musician, same condition as Mandi Harvey, and worked years of my life with family reunification efforts involving incarcerated women and their children. Music changes lives for moms and kids. I wanted to follow more of this than just lipreading when you sang, Brandi. Without a transcript and captions I can’t share it with the Deaf/HH families who face everything hearing inmates face, on top of no communication access in ASL, a really tough aspect of how our justice system fails women. Thank you for being real.

[@BEmbalmingU]

Antonia Lindsey I was able to find the lyrics for you and hopefully this will help you to be able to sing along, and feel the music as those who are not hearing impared do. Music is a magnificent thing. It is a language all it's own. Music can be felt through the vibrations and by lights at concerts for the hearing impared, the blind can get music in braille, and no matter the language the melody and chorus might be in you can still feel the music in your heart as that's where music comes from. As a musician I cannot imagine what it's like to not be able to hear something I love so dearly. I don't want to imagine it. I've memorized the laughter of my wife and kids, and I can think of my grandparents voices and my father's voice and I can hear those voices though they're gone. All I have to do is think of my grandmother calling my name out and I hear her voice in my heart. I have done this so that if my hearing continues to worsen as it's very difficult to hear already, that I can still have their laughter and their voices in my heart. I cannot imagine a life without sound. I hope these lyrics help. Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind 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 as 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, cancelled plans and trashed my car But none of that is ever who we are Outside of my windows are the mountains and the snow I hold you while you're sleeping and I wish that I could go All my rowdy friends around accomplishing their dreams But I am the mother of Evangeline They've still got their morning paper and their coffee and their time They still enjoy their evenings with the skeptics and their wine Oh but all the wonders I have seen I will see a second time From inside of the ages through your eyes You were 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 I would 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 Ooooh.

Nobody will make excuses for bad choices but for those who make them there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

💙💙💙from another mother and person who has worked with traumatized incarcerated people for a very long time. That is one of my favorites of your songs, and I love a lot of them.

A couple decades ago I taught in a juvenile detention school. After all this time my heart aches. I remember so clearly, wonder how they are. Miss them.

This is one of the most inspirational and healing things I’ve ever seen online. I love Brandi Carlile, and I loved seeing the faces of all the women in the audience. I wanted to hear every one of their stories. What an awesome project. Thank you for sharing this. 💕🙏
