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. Shortly after the release of Brandi Carlile, she left her home in Seattle and set out with the Hanseroth brothers, with whom she'd worked on her earliest recordings and independent regional tours. The tightly knit trio, which forms the core of her band today, spent the better part of two years on the road honing the songs that would later become part of her album "The Story".
In 2005, she was featured on Rolling Stone's "10 Artists to Watch in 2005" list. By the end of 2006, Carlile had embarked on several headlining tours and supported a variety of artists including Ray LaMontagne, The Fray, Chris Isaak, Tori Amos, and Shawn Colvin.
Her second album, The Story, was released in April 2007. It was produced by T Bone Burnett and includes a collaboration with the Indigo Girls on "Cannonball." The album was recorded in an eleven-day-long session with Carlile , the twins (Tim and Phil Hanseroth) and drummer Matt Chamberlain to capture the raw intensity of Carlile's live performances. The crack in Carlile's vocals during the title track, "The Story", came out by accident and was a direct result of the way the album was recorded. Carlile herself describes the vocals as "technically wrong but emotionally right."
Carlile was exposed to a wider audience when ABC's Grey's Anatomy showcased three of her songs: "Tragedy," "What Can I Say," and "Throw It All Away". In April 2007, Grey's Anatomy debuted a version of the video for the single The Story interspersed with footage from the show. On May 3, 2007, a special two-hour episode of "Grey's Anatomy" featured Carlile's song "Turpentine" during footage of the "Grey's Anatomy" spin-off, "Private Practice".
Late Morning Lullaby
Written by Brandi Carlile
Soon as my eyes shut the slide show begins
Yesterday is gone now and the panic sets in
With the weight upon my chest and a ghost upon my back
Brandi Carlile
And the numbing sensation of everything I lack that leaves me
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, ooh
Your real world away
Oh and beautiful, beautiful bright eyes, try
Oh and beautiful, beautiful bright eyes cry
Oh and late morning lullaby
First sound of morning is gray and alarming
While the rest of world greets the day and feels new
I will push it away just like I always do, I will be
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, ooh
Your real world away.
Oh and beautiful, beautiful bright eyes, lie
Oh and beautiful, beautiful bright eyes try
Oh and late morning lullaby
Yeah and late morning lullaby
And I will darken my window so I can fall asleep
While the critics frown down on the hours I cheat that leave me
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, ooh
