Talia's Song Pick-o-the-week

Though I did not, and usually do not, watch Gray's Anatomy, AOL has informed me that Washington native, Brandi Carlile's song, The Story, was featured on last night's episode. I watched the video this morning, and dug what I heard, so I'll make it my song pick of the week. Her album, also called The Story, was released by Columbia this year as a follow up to her 2006 album, On Tour. Of course, she has a mypace page, so have a listen there. Her sound is reminiscent of a modern day Patsy Cline, who she has stated is one of her musical influences.



















The Story
By: Brandi Carlile
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
Yeah you do and I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
Is hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through but you do
And I was made for you...
