Brandi Carlile (b. June 1, 1981, in Ravensdale, Washington) is an American singer and songwriter. Carlile's music has been categorized in several genres, including pop, rock, alternative country, and folk.  Columbia Records signed Carlile in late 2004 on the strength of songs she'd been recording periodically at home. Released in 2005, Brandi Carlile showcased those early songs along with several newly recorded tracks.

Gran voz americana, nace el 1 de junio de 1981, en  Rivensdale, Washington. Cantante y compositora, considerada una interprete muy original, su género es un sincretismo absoluto entre el pop, rock, country alternativo, llegando a fundir todos estos mencionados y surgiendo de ahí un estilo muy propio y original. Su inicio un tanto improvisado se da a los 8 años, cuando impulsada por su madre sube al escenario &quot;The Northwest's version of the Grand Ole Opry&quot; donde interpretó la canción 

I watch you grow away from me in photographs 
Memories like spies, the salt betrays my eyes again.
I started losing sleep and gaining weight
And wishing i was ten again so i could be your friend again.

Chorus:
These days we go to waste like wine,
That's turned to turpentine
'Cause its 6am and im all messed up.
I didn't mean to waste your time,
So i'll fall back in line
But im warning you we're growing up.

I heard you found some pretty words to say
You found your little game to play 
And theres no one allowed in here
Then just when we believed we could be great
Reality it permeates 
And conquers from within again

Chorus:
These days we go to waste like wine,
That's turned to turpentine
'Cause its 6am and im all messed up.
I didn't mean to waste your time,
So i'll fall back in line
But im warning you we're growing up.

Ohhh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh
Lord i know we're ok
Ohhh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh
Lord i know we're ok

Chorus:
These days we go to waste like wine,
That's turned to turpentine
'Cause its 6am and im all messed up.
I didn't mean to waste your time,
So i'll fall back in line
But im warning you we're growing up.

My Song


G                                         C
have you ever wandered lonely through the woods?
     Em                               C
and everything there feels just as it should
G                  C           Em                C     C
you're part of the life there, part of something good
G                       D                  G
if you've ever wandered lonely through the woods

G  C  Em  C
ooooh ooooh

G                       D           G
if you've ever wandered lonely through the woods


G                                  C
have you ever stared into a starry sky?
Em                              C
lyin on your back you're askin' why?
G          C          Em              C   C
what's the purpose, I wonder "who am I?"
G                       D           G
if you've ever stared into a starry sky

G  C  Em  C  C   G  D  G     G  C  Em   C    C
ooooh ooooh      aaaaaaaah  aahh oohh aahh ooh

         G             D           G
have you ever stared into a starry sky?

G                                     C
have you ever been out walking in the snow
Em                               C
tried to get back where you were before
G          C          Em               C    C
you always end up not knowing where to go
G                       D              G
if you've ever been out walking in the snow

G  C  Em  C  C     G  D  G      G  C  Em   C  C    G  D  G      G  C  Em   C   C          
ooooh ooooh        aaaaaaaah    aahh oohh aahh    aaaaaaaah    aahh oohh aahh
G                      D                  G
if you'd ever been out walking, you would know

All of these lines across my face

Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I've been

Swam all across the ocean blue

I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules

And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed

No they don't know who I really am

The Story

intro:
 |G  Em|G  Em|

1st:
     G                 Em 
I've heard that there's a secret chord
     G                   Em
That David played and it pleased the Lord
    C                C             G        G
But you don't really care for music do you?

   G                   C           D
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
    Em              C
The minor fall, the major lifts
    D                 Am        Em
And the baffled King composing Hallelujah

     G   C	C   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     G    C      C-G-D-G
Hallelujah, hallelujah

2nd:
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

3rd:
Darling I've been here before
I've seen this room, I've walked these floors
You know I used to live alone before I knew you

I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, Oh yea...

5th:
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you
The Holy Dark was moving too
And every breath you drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

6th:
So maybe there's a God above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
  
G   C 	    C   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     G    C      C-G-D-G
Hallelujah, hallelujah 

G   C	           C   G
Hallelujah, hallelujah
     G    C      C-G-D-G
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas,

Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

You were staying out all night and I had enough

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
