As the Father of a 30 year old Autistic man I have been singing this song for 30 years, but today it has been put into words for me. Tremendous!
Not just the father but the source of autistry. Why would you breed if you have defective genes?
I have ASD and I’m 35!!!
I've been playing Daddy since I was 4. Autism has made me a smarter more compassionate human. Love you!
"the first things that she took from me were selfishness and sleep, she broke a thousand heirlooms that I wasn't meant to keep" songwriting to take my breath away
My favourite is "But none of that was ever who we are".
@@headlikeorange3600 yes another great line
Agreed...amazing lyrics.
This song is songwriting at its best. Brandi Carlile is an absolute master of her trade. God bless her and her beautiful family.
Grown man, father of Alexandria, crying over here. Just beautiful, so honest, still crying
I have an Evangeline and she is 16 months. Her dad left while I was pregnant and didn’t want me to keep her. I did and I work full time as a lawyer. I’m so tired all the time but I love her so much, she is everything to me. This song means so much to me and I only discovered it this week. I’ve had so many holidays, amazing meals, wonderful clothes, jewellery, make up but nothing compares to my sweet girl
Happy for you!!! We need all the love in the world poured into our children.....
And nothing will ever compare to your sweet baby girl. Careful...they grow up so very, very quickly. Congratulations to you and your spouse. God bless. 🙏💘😻🎵🎶🤗
Bless you and your daughter
Good for you!
Very inspiring. I won’t tell my story it has similar themes. The important thing is the love you have for your child and the dedication two-year duty to care for her with all your might! It’s bedtime for me and you have made me very happy with your story. I have a daughter too, She is now grown up, and happily married.
My children's mother, my wife, died when they were both small. As tragic as it was and still is, I am thankful I have had the opportunity to not only be Dad, but to be "Mom" too. Today I have a new partner in life who is trying her best to fit in with her new family and we love her for it.
From her small opening speech to the beautiful song - this is full of gentleness, love, and warmth and honestly a bit too much for my sensitive heart. Imagine her daughter watching/hearing this song when she gets to Brandi's age. She gave her daughter a very wonderful and timeless gift.
That was an amazing statement you made re how her daughter may look back in years to come and feel the love of her Mother stretching back over time... beautiful Culota
@@Lifestreamable So's what you said, Chris. ❤
My god is Brandi one of the sweetest people on this planet or what?!
Just found out my wife is pregnant with our first IVF baby, and as the non-biological and non-carrying mum, I’m terrified I’m not going to love the baby (even though it is very much wanted). Remembered this video (not just the song but the preamble too) from seeing it a few years back, and came for solace and reassurance. I’m gonna be revisiting this clip many times before the birth! 💜💜💜
How's it going?
Yeah!
We should all strive for the level of humility that Brandi has. What a fantastic person. Not to mention she has a killer voice!
She is very talented, she is a wonderful songwriter and a Very good singer. It’s not my music but I could listen to it for a long time and be very happy
She has the quality and haunting tone that reminds me of Eva Cassidy for some reason.
i was just about write that!!
@@richardanthony1139 Great minds! 😉
Disagree. Eva Cassidy goes deeper and is more haunting.
I just thought that as well 💜💜💜
If the world was full of Brandi , It would be a better place to live
Thanks for sharing your family - this is how change happens, even in Texas! What a beautiful song!
Her honesty is refreshing. Her melodies married to that honesty...beautiful!
I can tell you something. My daughter Brandi Knapp. Oh God; thank you for allowing me the honor to pick me for parent. She was special baby, only 44 and she passed away October the 9th. Unexpected. Time flies so fast so hold them tight and love them more. Congrats
Brandie is just a good human being with an open mind. Lovely.
well said
Constitutional Conservative What are you doing coming on here spewing your negative bullshit? Who are YOU trying to convince?
@Constitutional Conservative it must suck to be so hate filled and stupid, hopefully one day you will learn that your belief system is just one of many and stop acting like a total dick. But a have a great day anyway.

I sit in the parking lot of daycare dreading the responsibilities of this child, and the other two, that I was so blessed to create. They have stolen my time, but the return has been nothing less than miraculous. I am tired. I grieve the loss of myself, but Brandi put it so perfectly in this song, that I’m hearing for the first time. All of the losses that I believe exist, I will gain again one day, through their eyes. Such a refreshing thought.
They will be consumed with taking care of you when your old.....same
Enjoy the chaos, the messes, the warm snuggles in the middle of a dirty house…. One day you will be wanting those babies to come over for holidays, or visits and they will be far and few between. I can hardly get my daughter and her wife to come over! They are both nurses and working most of the time…. I miss those days!! You are so blessed right now❤
I only just discovered Brandi and man, I love everything about this woman. To think I could have been basking in her wisdom and the sound of her voice for years already, and somehow I missed it. Making up for it from now on, though. I'm a straight white man and it doesn't matter. Brandi sings for all of us.
She sounds even better live
That is exactly what I felt the first time i heard her sing!!
God damn if I don't feel the exact same way. She has a gift for sure.
There is a line in this song where she says she'll never hit the big time without her daughter. If you look back at all of her work, I think there is a marked difference in her songs, and even how she sings the older ones, in the last few years. I think it's amazing how children can change the way we see things.
Marry me :) what I wouldn’t give to hear a man I’m seeing say this about brandi out of the blue. Soul is soul man. I hope you’ve seen her tiny desk concert?
Thank you Brandi for telling us about your family. Inspiring, Awesome.
Girl power!
I'm kicking myself for having ignored this beautiful voice for so long. I have known about Brandi Carlile for years now, and never really connected with her music, that was, until, I watched the Grammy's this past Sunday. And while I had heard "The Joke" in passing, hearing her perform it live and witnessing the power it had over the audience, I was totally blown away. I don't know why I stayed away for long, Brandi.
That’s one special girl
You are a Champion Brandi!!!! I’ve seen you numerous times in concert and you never ever disappoint!! Such a great performance! Love is NEVER wrong!
Thank you!
Absolutely,
I always think I can't possibly love Ms. Carlile more, but the space inside my heart always expands each and every time I hear her sing and share her thoughts.
Brandi has been one of my favorite artists since I was a kid, I grew up listening to her. When my daughter Evangeline was about 3 months old we were dancing to Brandi Carlile Radio on Pandora and this song came on; it was meant to be. I had no idea her daughter's name was Evangeline too! It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it still
Man! I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful person!
I feel deprived I had not been previously introduced to Brandi's art. As a fellow out-gay person, I celebrate Brandi for being out, and also for telling her story, our stories, in such a personal and deep way. I'm originally from south Louisiana (my ancestors were part of the Acadian migration from Nova Scotia) and the story of Evangeline resonates for me. I cannot wait to discover just how many songs I will love.
Pride and Joy is an amazing song. Bend Before it Breaks is a favorite of mine. Fall Apart Again, Hiding my Heart Away. Okay this list seems pointless. I could go on and on haha!
You should see her live - always an incredible show and that VOICE!
All of them. You will love them all.
Check out The STORY.. Beautiful
kyle robin so am I from southern Louisiana. My grandfather actually wrote a book on the Acadian Deportation and Migration. Dudley LeBlanc “ The Acadian Miracle”
Thanks to young teen singer Benicio Bryant i may not have found this Wonderful free spirited Awesome Singer & Woman. Love her music and her vocals and her song writing skills, God bless you Brandi makes no difference what your sexual preferences are Your A Wonderful Human Being :-) lots of love from me down here in Australia.
Hearing a woman say they have a wife gives me more hope and fulfillment than anything
And on Austin Limits too!
SAME
Mar GB I love Brandi Carlisle and I especially love her for coming out on Austin City Limits!! 🌈🌟🌈
Makes me jealous if anything. She's so beautiful!
MaryAnn Brown she’s been openly gay a long long time. But she was making a stand for what she believes in, knowing she’s got all kinds of fans, some who aren’t aware, people that got brought by friends.. speaking to the fact that - Even though she is the star standing on stage, who she is with her beautiful family (& they really are beautiful, genuine.. like the real freakin deal if you follow them) is a place where same-sex marriage laws are constantly still being battled, couples being denied benefits, etc -where she is playing. I imagine all the great famous black artists before civil rights could relate. Lauded and applauded on stage, but not legal to use their bathrooms or sit at their counters (not a direct comparison, but hopefully you get what I’m trying to say)
This Brought Tears in my Eyes. Be who you are, & Live in Peace All 🙏🙏🙏
How beautiful is this amazing, brave artist who sheds light on unspeakable things such as love and acceptance of herself. So pathetic to see some haters here. What are they so threatened by, their own sexuality being taken away? I applaud her tremendous talent, thank you Brandi Carlile, you are completely authentic.
I so agree with you ma'am..Ms. Brandi is just..my goodness, my words escape me! however one does not..LO💖E! she brings that out in me with her truth..honesty and compassion..I wish her and her lovely family peace..love and happiness always..your music and songwriting is what this world needs right now..thank you! my God you are a amazingly gifted, beautiful, gay woman and I also applaud you! we need more women like you to hopefully reach the hearts of those so against us! God Bless you! ❤
It's not that they are "haters" which is an adjective that is so easy to throw out there regarding replies which you disagree with. We have different beliefs in what the covenant of marriage, and who makes up the family according to God's word and which is designed by God. I'm not going to quote anything from the Bible to you. We have different beliefs which you may not understand We also have the right to speak about them. It has nothing to do with sexuality and everything to do with obeying God's word and living the life He created for us.
@@CookieZ3353 Don't you think its absurd, thinking that somehow your belief is superior to other beliefs not forgetting the fact that, non of us have seen or spoken to God face to face, have you? which means we all believe what we truly don't know in its entirety. The bible and all the other so called holy books were basically written by people like me and you, and so like all the other books they don't resonate to everybody. Love is love darling, you know it when you see it, its sad many don't see it here!!
@@CookieZ3353 And others have just as much "right" to their beliefs even though you think yours are the only "right" ones!
@@conniewolf7300 I don't care who you or the gay community has sex with. Don't force me to accept it. By the way, how do you think gay people got here? Their hetero parents made them, fool!
I’m a straight 73 year old male who is in love with Brandi Carlile because she is so special.
Get in line buddy.
I’m a straight 62 year old woman who is in love with woman.
Made me cry...but I love, love, this, Brandi! My son Nick and I met you at the second Light Up The Blues. You were so gracious.
I have only recently discovered her. Bravo for her being herself.
Yup, this song is beautiful, simple and real.
Happy Pride & Lots of Love ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Beautiful.
Brandi Carlile is such impeccable performer. She is so engaging, can play instruments, funny and has such beautiful voice. I have discovered her. She is such very talented artist. I love how this song is so real.
@@BonnieJ1955Yes!.. She can really make you feel a song.
Congratulations - to your beautiful family and all the courage that you just have shown!
I love this song. I love this lady singing, an absolute normal human being, by that I mean not stuck up, a good wholesome down to earth lady. I truely love this song its so true. Keep right on singing Brandi, you make the world a better place in doing so❤
Another amazing song from a wonderful, honest, talented, profound musician who brings this older conservative straight Republican male to tears quite often with her beautiful and meaningful music!
Been listening to her since Turpentine. Great lady. Soul healer. Much respect, love, and thanks dear human.
What a beautiful tribute to tolerance and diversity to “feel the love” between mother and daughter. How unfortunate for it to be so necessary in todays crazy world. Thank you for this strong message.
Amazing performance. Thank you Brandi for always spreading the message of love and acceptance.
She’s just so wonderful
I've always considered artistes such as Bowie and Peter Gabriel to be vocalist's rather than just singers. They add something more than just the words and notes. I add Brandi to that list.
Steve Sole absolutely true..
So sweet ❤❤
Thank benicio bryant AGT, now I know this musician..my friends love too
I liked Benecio's cover of the Joke
Brandie is honest and true and that’s why I adore her. I adore her for when she plays with the twins, I adore her for when she plays with Dave Matthews but most importantly I adore her for lighting a spark in my heart and reminding me that love and dance conquers all.
brandi carlile is nothing short of incredible
this is a mothers creed and sings for all of us. thank you. so needed right now.
It's been 24 years since I lived in Seattle. A beautiful city & region with a wonderful spirit. It's great to see more awesome gifts emanating from the region.
An amazing song by an amazing singer!
tears in my eyes
So glad that Brandi addressed the whole "I didn't fall in love from the get go". Some people do and it's great, but no for many other parents. It took months for me to feel that gush that hit me like a train. I looked at him and thought to myself...I would die for you! Take a bullet." Crazy!
I always wanted to have a family. When I realized I was gay I thought maybe I’d lose my chance at the family I’d dreamed of. This song, and her words, mean so much to me.
Love, love, love this song! Heard it on Spotify and that’s how I became a Brandi fan.
OMG, how beautiful can a child BE? Lovely moment.
This song always brings tears to my eyes. I sure love you and your songs, Brandi Carlisle!
Benicio Bryant! You Rock...or I would not be here tonight. thank him!!!!!
Go Brandi!!!!! Everyone told me about this wonderful woman and I’m so glad they did. I can’t stop crying.
My daughter said she was gay and I loved her more because when she says dad it’s so much love feels my heart I love her as she is my daughter always
Awesome...I just love this woman!! It was different for me....I was in love with them before they entered the world. They are nothing short of magical!
I hope I live to see Evangeline grow up and know this song was written for her. Can you imagine?
Love is love, sometimes the hard part is finding what lets you feel it
Mike Raftery I hope we both,find it!
When she said I am nothing without you ... you can see the emotion and how heart felt it is 💞💞
I absolutely love the poetry and the soft acoustic arrangement of this ... wow .. i am a fan now
She has a killer voice. ❤
Just beautiful my goodness.
I swear, fell in love with you in mobile, AL back in like 2003, maybe. You opened for the indigo girls, and I had no idea who you were, Brandi Carlile, I love you!!!! I got your autograph, and you are wonderful. I just love you to death!!!
Our world needs.must have more of this.thx yt
just lovely...
Very beautiful song... such a warm and caring person. Clearly filled with love for her daughters and I think that is just beautiful.
I've been alive on this planet for 30 years and only today have I stumbled across Brandi whilst in the midst of a youtube auto-play blackhole. What a beautiful discovery! Side note, as a fellow gay human this also just broke my wee heart! Now for a Brandi binge, yay!
Brandi Carlile is such an amazing talent, and her songs are so relatable and true to the emotions and feelings of us all, I believe. It feels as if she’s singing exactly to me what I’m going through in my own life. Almost every song I hear brings tears to my eyes.
same!
Probably, 15 times in a song!
Soooo Beautiful!!!!!
I saw her some years ago at the Interlochen Center for the Arts summer concert series. I’ve been a fan ever since. Thank you for your work Ms. Carlile!
I love Brandi's singing voice!
Damned if i can get through ANY of her songs without getting a lump in my throat... Just bought tickets to see her opening night at the Hollywood Bowl June 13 2020. Gonna be amazing!
Wish I was going with you....long way from Australia though!
Sad seeing this here on 13 Jun, knowing the Bowl's been shut down for the rest of the season :3
😥
Saw this and broke down into tears. I'm the father of Evangeline!
b
are you really? Or metaphorically speaking?
@@jancrittenden132 metaphorically! haha
Wow her songs make me cry 😢 So much poetic truth💙
This song is really beautiful in its honesty. Such an expression of true love, in all of its complications.
God, I love Brandi. Can’t wait to see her again next week in Salt Lake City!
I discovered Brandi at the Paragon Bar on Queen Anne Hill Seattle early 2002. I was just me, my friend and her mamma in there selling her CDs
I discovered her recently on Austin City Limits and have become a big fan!
So very true. Thank you, Brandi for expressing what so many parents cannot find the words for
Brandi you are AWESOME
Oh my God! I needed this.
At 4 years old Evangeline may not understand this song about her yet. But as she gets older it will dawn on her and she will understand how she may have helped a lot of people in this world. As a straight father of a gay son who has passed without my blessing, I am learning.
first time i've seen this one - so cute! Love the long hair and relaxed look. and Evangeline! She's so sweet!
Simply Beautiful!
So wonderful. Brings back so many treasured memories. Thank you Brandie.
Gosh even her talking voice is beautiful
Love You Brandi
I’ve been a fan of Brandi since 2005 because I saw her open for Hanson sometime around then in San Francisco. She’s brought me to tears since then. This song speaks to my soul because I have a daughter too and I love her but what this song says rings so true to me. I love you Brandi
Beautiful !
God I love this woman!
She always brings me to tears! Represent girl!!
Love love love this!
Sounds like the world has got another great songwriter. Only just discovered her here on CZcams.
