Lyrics:
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowin’ like the breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eyes
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'
Like I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, country roads

There is literally nothing that Brandi Carlile can't sing. She's a musical superhero!!!

When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. The first sign - the Earth will spin faster. The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. - banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist - Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. - „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“ mdmlastprophet.com/arab-uprising-will-spark-global-unrest-italy-will-trigger-fall-out/ mdmlastprophet.com/the-world-is-about-to-undergo-the-next-stage-of-cleansing/ The Book of Truth

[@mikeglide1292]

It's always been my thought, that if your going to do a cover, just don't mimic the original, do something interesting. This is an amazing reimagining of one of my favorite songs. Thank you for this.

[@FranciscoEguiguren-vb3rq]

Yeah, something additional was added in this cover. Something cool like te video editing, images carefully selected and of course wonderful variations in the vocals, lead by a nice voice

[@melainenicholson]

Stephen King sent me.

[@bluesybird5119]

That’s what I’m thinking!

I just heard a tiny bit of this for the CLARICE ad for the show and just knew that VOICE!!! She's going to own the next 5 years of music, IMHO Brandi n the twins rule already. Nice to see her finally getting her due...

[@teetakay]

I heard it too, thought the same thing😊 Also agree though that it’s about time everyone loved her like I have the last 14 years!

[@jeffvshep]

At my mum's funeral last year we had Olivia Newton John's version of this song.

[@nolatemplemire8124]

I love Brandi's version, I think it is much better than the original. The video sort of reminds me of the movie Winters Bone.

[@dizzy4133]

Every time I hear you sing, there is something about your voice that I can’t explain, it’s soft but powerful. You are incredible. INCREDIBLE. You are inspiring. Ever since your livestream last Saturday , I’ve been checking Spotify every day, and while I waited, I lay in bed with my eyes closed just listening to your voice. You are simply the best singer that has ever lived.

[@lexi-op5vk]

This woman is one of the greatest artists country music has ever had, and probably the best modern country music artist

Brandi isn’t country. She’s in the Americana genre.

[@lexi-op5vk]

I'm 70 years old. How is possible I have just found your music? Awesome!

[@Hamata68]

I'm from the Netherlands and a long time country fan. To be completely honest, i stumbled on to Brandi while listening to various country singers and especially a concert at The Newport folk festival. Well, i can be very short and clear about Brandi, she's got another fan, wauw....

[@jlwa1996]

When you take your wonderful trip, may you be greeted with wonderful smiles. Complete with engaging conversations & music.

Just discovered her during COVID, will be a fan forever

She came to our local giant music festival, MerleFest, a few years back. Such a stunning person. Certainly worth seeing in person.

As a WV resident, I so appreciate this contemplative, haunting version of the song; so beautiful!✨🏞✨

[@amandathacker8335]

My fiancé is a true Eastern Kentucky, miner’s son, hillbilly, and I 100% agree with this statement. I’ve learned so much in the last five years about the region that makes it feel like home. He misses it every single day.

[@glenda9513]

WV here too. It's beautiful and like you said very haunting.

[@tiredofit4761]

WV born and raised. The state has a mystical aura and this song captures that. You might leave West Virginia but it never leaves you.

This women has the power of one thousand angels. Thank you as always, Brandi

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant reinvention! I sang this as a bedtime song to three kids over several years and always felt there was a sadness in the song that never came out in JD's original, you've captured it.

[@JohnBrandkamp]

Seeing Brandi live several years ago in Concord, NH was a total bucket list item for me. She ended that December show by singing, with the theater lights out, O Holy Night, A cappella. It was utterly sublime. So this amazing cover of the great John Denver song, also deeply personal to me, since my mom was born in WV, is no surprise to me. Brandi can do anything.

[@charlesbarber6137]

Lived 11 years in Indonesia and Philippines in 80s and 90s and this was like an unofficial national anthem in both countries - played it a million times on street corners, in cafes and bars with tons of folks singing along who in many cases didn't even know what the words meant, but loved it anyway. Wonderful to hear it reimagined by such a special artist!

[@cami-loo108]

Man this woman can make any song her own

[@dishatto]

Been singing this song since I was 4 years old! Love this song!

[@Harmthuria]

I’m watching ‘Onward’ and I let the credits roll as I like the song ‘Carried me With You’ that plays. I decide to check the artist out with Shazam, and Lo and behold, this song was a suggestion in the app. I love your take on this classic, Miss Brandi. I’m not a huge fan of country, but there are several country songs I love. And yours are now part of that short list. Looking forward to you future work.

[@skippy9659]

And…she is not really country, in my opinion. A flavor of her is..but she has so many flavors. She has basically created her own genre. I’d encourage you to forget that country labeling and listen without that filter. The ONLY TIME the country music establishment acknowledged her is when she was nominated for six Grammys in 2019, and should have won album and record of the year, in the big category. Once the country music white male leadership used what she allowed them to of her, she jumped to the next phase, Joni, and Elton..and Soundgarden covers..and just more beautiful and touching’Brandi music’. Unique and talented humans, all three of them. Brandi, Tim, and Phil. Dive deep, it’s all gold.

[@johnstrohmeyer4570]

Thanks Brandi, I have never seen you live , but hope to gather some funds to see you at Red Rocks in a few months. I am a Denver native, living a few miles away from Red Rocks. My first show was a John Denver show in 1982, I was only 3 years old, but still remember sitting in the front row, and running around on stage with other kids shortly before John came out to perform. I was lucky to meet John at his book signing, and also spent an hour or to sharing memories with John's mom and uncle Dave at his memorial up in Aspen in 1997. I am a huge fan of all that great Seattle music as well, big Pearl Jam fan. I am also gay and have Body Integrity Dyshporia, actually missing two toes because of it, I am no Hannibal though, haha! I know John Denver was missing a couple toes as well from a lawnmower accident from reading his book, my mom still has a signed copy! Peace and love Brandi! RIP John

How do we know our register and what key to sing in? My son wants to sing and I'm hoping he will find himself in the music he seems to love it.

[@CorbyCave]

One way is to find a popular song that you are totally comfortable singing, and then check to see what register and key it was recorded in.

[@singitgal]

Sing scales To identify your vocal part you have two breaks in your voice that are a third apart. This information will tell you the exact vocal part you sing. In amateur voices the breaks are very easy to hear. For instance, my vocal breaks are B and D on the treble staff. This tells me I am a mezzo-soprano. Hope that helps. I am a Nationally Board Certified music teacher who specialized in voice.
