Flashlight (a true story) - a song by Ingrid Graudins
On “Ingrid Graudins” day two Nashville workshops ago, I asked if Ingrid would share one of her own songs. She sang this one: “Flashlight, a true story.”
She kind of “aww shucksed” about it - it was just an exercise for a songwriting group.
Every person in the room was transfixed. I, of course couldn’t stop crying. I begged her to send me a demo just so I could hear it again. And again. And again.
I cried then. I’m definitely crying now.
It has all my favoritisms of Ingrid. The childlike wonder in her voice. The gorgeous instinct for chord changes. The simplicity and genius of the story. The perfect metaphor.
It is gut wrenchingly a propos of her passing. Her light will never die.
Kellie Lin Knott made this beautiful video to accompany Ingrid’s song.
I hope you love it as much as I do, and will share Ingrid’s voice far and wide.
It’s still hard to believe I will never get to sing with her again.
I love you Ingie, and will miss you forever.
But I will always have this song.

Jonatha Brooke - No Better (The Stephanie Miller Show - 1995)
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 9 měsíci
Ok, Palate Cleanse. I will take up the case of my battered guitar again in the morning. But this brightened my day. My dancer pal Sarah Boggan just sent me this clip. "No Better" from the Stephanie Miller show in 1995. And the BAND!!: Abe Laboriel Jr. on Drums. Mike Rivard on bass. Alain Mallet on keys. Jeff Pevar on guitar. Ingrid Graudins on Vox and tambo. Oh, and the DRESS!: I remember it so...
American Tune
zhlédnutí 1,7KPřed rokem
There are a handful of tunes I wish I’d written. Well, actually, no… it’s that I revere them: “La Chanson des vieux Amants“, by Jacques Brel; David Byrne’s “Home (Naïve melody)” and this Paul Simon song. It feels, (excruciatingly), finely tuned to this moment in time, though it’s from so long ago. History, repeating, repeating, repeating itself. I hope you like it, flubs and all. Xo Jb

One of my favorite Joni songs. I know every tiny detail of this record. Obsessed. Listened almost daily in college. I think I needed it today. It is grounding to me. World weary, wise.

NEW DRESS is almost here: Our Cello Songs “single” is almost ready to go. I know I’ve been teasing its arrival for a while. I’m the kid that’s up at 4am on Christmas morning wondering why everyone is still sleeping, because, presents. And I am still getting used to the brave new ‘one song at a time’ world. Patience, JB, patience. Today’s schnippet is about how the Cello Songs Project came to be...

❤❤❤❤❤
What a gorgeous video! (And song)
A masterpiece.
Lovely version of Alan and Eric's great song. Cheers from London!
Love your stuff, Girl! You go with your ART. Put it out there for us to absorb. xoxox
The guitar playing and songwriting is enough. But then there is so much more. Swooning over the musicality.
I still dont understand how you sing with the perfect amount of emotion in every word, will never forget hearing this song for rhe first time and scrambljng to find out how to hear it on repeat
You are so talented ❤ your voice captured me in "I'll try", so effortlessly emotive :')
It’s been about 34 years since I first heard JB’s beautiful unique voice, lyrics, and music. So many have imitated her in my opinion but she is the original mistress! Last spring in Wales during a particularly spectacular sunset in Dewi Sant, I had to pull out my phone and play The Story’s nonpareil “In the Gloaming” and actually shed a wee tear. What a gifted artist!
Love you and your very special music and lyrics since I was 18..❤ thank you so much for it!
still powerful...amen.
Louie: "You must sing the 'No Better.' Sing it my dear, you must sing the 'No Better'". 🙂
Tuning doesn’t look standard…curious what it is - love you Jonatha
80's metal fan at heart, but Jonatha's writing is similar to many of my favorites. Fan since 95.
Saw her live before the album came out with the record company. She was amazing.
Who writes comments?
Thank you. your music has been with me for decades. I love your voice and the emotions it evokes. Your writing is top shelf.

We all miss Kevin. Thank you for this. And in some ways we all feel part of him is still around us
She is a remarkable singer. We love 💕 you 😘 Jonatha
I go to watts...me casa especially su casa
It's because...we don't know ,what to...do❤
If your rich...or me...what wood you ...do?❤
Fantastic ❤
Love her GP. Taste and restraint.
I bought an old house in 2001 and I had to paint the whole thing and my mom came in and I was playing your songs full blast and she was like what the fuck can you just shut up? I was like no I love this girl so much - later, I saw you at the Syracuse landmark theatre and yelled at a request but of course it wasn’t your setlist so you yelled out no, which was sort of hilarious. So thrilled I was so thrilled that you had interacted with me. Just know that one person who has a lot of taste and plays out thinks you are the bomb. I forward your songs to everyone. It’s hard to pick one, but probably taste of danger is my favorite as the Devil’s got the wheel.
this made my day today!! i'll try to not be so rude next time!! hahaha. and sure enough, the devil's got the wheel. xoxo jb
brilliant!
Happy birthday Jbro! the hat is adorable! gives you a sort of devo look.
Put on your...green dress!
Your veryfunnyhoney❤
I...miss,u❤
The perfect live performance! Unbelievable vocals and harmonies.
good
This song is in my top 5... and I'm 70 years old!
Some songs I can listen to on repeat…this is one of them.
I am 53 years old, when my boys were little, we used to watch this all the time!! It STILL gives me chills. I'm so glad you did this! It resonated with me.. as a mom in an abusive relationship with 2 small kids; tryna make my own way in the world while trying to keep them safe. This song is a bittersweet memory for me. They grew up healthy and fine, but they too have their own bittersweet memories as well❤ Thank you again for this!!
This is so sweet. I am standing in my kitchen welling up with tears. Grateful that you are ok, and that this little song resonated with you and your boys. Thank you so much for your comment. Jb
Anni,one small room,?lets get mex food JB...❤
THIS ROCKS!!
I love many of your songs but this might be my favorite and this authentic version is better than the original. I feel like I’m watching you figure it out.
very thankful to have seen JB do this on broadway.
Oh lord...a Mercedes benz....❤
May God bless you and keep you in His grace for all you have done! Thank you!
I listened, love you❤
If i was in love❤,i would let boule know❤
Love this when you sing it with Davey Knowles.........brilliant
