The Story (with a "story" intro ❤️) ~ Brandi Carlile at The Peace Center, Greenville, SC 10.8.2022

[@erikdevereux4997]

In 2007 my best friend died at 44 from multiple myeloma, a disease that rarely occurs in someone so young. As she was in the end stage of the disease, she hired a documentary film maker to create a video about her life to leave to her child. But she couldn't find an appropriate song for the film. After visiting her I jumped on the red-eye home with "The Story" in my carry on, purchased an hour earlier on the way to the airport. After listening on repeat the entire flight, I went directly to the Post Office and shipped the CD to her. She loved it and used it. When she died, two of her younger relatives sang "The Story" at her memorial service. It's among the most perfect songs ever created. Bless you Brandi!!!

My best friend also died from m myeloma at age 58 in 2017 We were friends since we were four years old. She fought so hard as I'm sure your friend did. That's beautiful about the song. Nice you were a part of her story.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. This will always be my all-time favorite Brandi song. I cry every time I watch her sing it in concert. Love and light to you. 💜

[@darleneehrhart5058]

This made me cry. Beautiful.

[@wendyhoward4120]

Look at this community of love and uplifting support that we have🙏❤️⭐️

[@erika8627]

That is so heartbreaking. So sorry for your loss and her poor child.

[@daan4youtube]

What a powerwoman she is!!! Just by herself… this is beyond! When she opens her mouth she blows away everyone! Unreal. ❤️❤️

[@taylorblue8141]

There’s only one Ms. BRANDI! So in awe of your talent, perseverance, and ability to connect with your audience. You’re as pure as it gets. Thank you for BEING YOU! ❤

[@barrybarry5803]

Brandi is such a complete artist, revered by her peers and fans alike, with a voice that gets right into the listeners very being!

[@Sparroweye]

What a voice. Sends chills down my spine.

[@mathatter9158]

Brandi is such an amazing talent! She’s really incredible and I believe the twins are a big part of her success.

[@patrickmcevoy2324]

She can knock bricks off of buildings with her voice! And I mean that in a very positive way!

[@marccope942]

Brandi NEVER disappoints! Her music is the shovel that is moving mountains, one scoop at a time. I stand next to her with my shovel, too.

[@herb601]

This, IMO, is why Brandi is special. You felt as though she was speaking directly to you when reliving her beginning. Never mailed in, always feels fresh and isn't that what we look for in an artist or group? If not, then they should write a song like Ricky Nelson did when he wrote "Garden Party" (look that up if you don't know the story). Hopefully, for our sake, that won't ever happen. Thanks Brandi and thank you, Stacey for posting this.

I hope that one day Brandi will perform in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I would be front row centre! 😊👍❤️

[@islandhealingchiro]

Thanks for the front row seat…I cry everytime I hear her voice…what a talent

[@jmlewallen7]

Saw her in Portland on New Year’s 2022-2023…she made my soul leave my body was so FABULOUS & GENUINE. I’m SO THANKFUL she is in our world. And the Sista Strings…I met them in the airport the next day & they were sooooooooo appreciative of my gushing all over them & their incredible talent that Chantee actually cried! Such lovely ladies! I was so GRATEFUL they graciously gave me their time. Ahhhhhhhh what a perfect New Year! They even too a pic with me. 💜

[@gailgarrett929]

[@mayasilliman1465]

I first heard The Story from Brandi and was super impressed with it. She will always be the one I heard it from first but people need to look up Sara Rameriz from Grey's Anatomy sing it! She belts it out of the ball park!

[@outlawquill7894]

Really neat to hear the background of the song and her first performance of it!

[@jenniferstroud8291]

Love this song, love the intro, and of course . . .love Brandi Carlile!

[@sanciac8842]

Brava btw I'm the 1300° thumb 🏆

[@jeanettesmith765]

Thanks for posting this, Stacey. Isn't Brandi magnificent?

[@rcgraves]

5:09 blah blah blah she died of a rare sarcoma, a disease that rarely occurs in someone so old. We held her hand as she passed. Her husband was the best man at my wedding to quite possibly the worst human being I have ever met. 8:06 *sucker*

[@22lyric]

*WHY do people scream, talk, sing, whistle, clap, while someone is singing (or speaking)? SO rude and inconsiderate!*

[@susanrumble7899]

My favourite Brandi song. ❤️
