Brandi Carlile

一位出生华盛顿州Ravensdale的80后创作歌手。歌喉，情感的投入，演绎风格都有自己的特色，融合了pop,rock,alternative country,indie和folk。个人认为她cover的radiohead的creep胜过其他任何男性乐队和歌手,令人动容。还有去年我喜欢的那首heartache can wait。

Dreams


Dreams, I have dreams when I'm awake when I'm asleep
And you, you are in my Dreams
You're underneath my skin, how am I so weak

And now in my dreams,

I can feel the weight, I can just come clean
I keep it to myself, I know what it means
I can't have you, but I have dreams

How long, can you hold your breath?
Can you count to ten, can you let it pass?
Keep, can you keep it in?
Keep it behind lashes, can you make it last?

And now in my dreams, I can feel the weight
I can just come clean

I keep it to myself, I know what it means
I can't have you, but I have dreams
Oh, I have dreams, I have dreams

(And then an amazing guitar solo)

Mind, can you read my mind?
Has it come undone, am I showin' signs?

And now, in my dreams
I can feel the weight, I can just come clean
I keep it to myself, I know what it means
I can't have you, but I have dreams
I have dreams, I have, I have, I have Dreams





That Year
i must have been sleeping,
i must have been drinking,
i havent been dreaming about you for years.
there was a sharp turn and a sunburn
i was too cool for high school that year.

must have have been new years.
no one invited you,
took things too far but i missed you and your antics.
you were lonesome and blue-eyed and so special to us.

you could have taken a long break
instead of a long drop from a high place.
ten years i never spoke your name.
now it feels good to say it.
your my friend again.

said he forgave you,
i said i hated you,
he was the bigger man,
i was sixteen.
all the innocense it took
well i guess you finally made the year book.
that year. that year.

you should have taken a long break
instead of a long drop, instead of a leap of faith,
ten years i never spoke your name.
now it feels good to say that your my friend again.
your my friend again.

i was angry, i was a baptist, i was a daughter, i was wrong.

Heartache can wait

You're talking about leaving
It's right about Christmas time
Thinking about moving on
I think I might die inside

I'm thinking about years gone by
I'm thinking about church at midnight
I'm thinking about letting go
I think that might finally be alright

But this is where we shine

Silver bells and open fire
And songs we used to sing
One more chance to be inspired
Is what I'm offering if love is not enough
Then stay with me because
The heartache can wait

It's not about hanging on
It's making my deal with God
If I could call one last truce
We've given it all we've got

Then I'm gonna catch my breath
And make it a long December
If we've got nothing left
This could be worth remembering
With a smile upon my face

Silver bells and open fire
And songs we used to sing
One more chance to be inspired
Is what I'm offering if love is not enough
Then stay with me because

Silver bells and open fire
And songs we used to sing
One more chance to be inspired
Is what I'm offering if love is not enough
Then stay with me because
The heartache can wait
