Brandi Carlile - The Joke

A: Brandi Carlile
S: The Joke

This is the first track that was released from By The Way, I Forgive You, Brandi's amazing sixth studio album, and it exemplifies the album's massive ambition. A country-rock aria dedicated to the delicate boys and striving girls born into - and, Carlile insists, destined to triumph over - this divisive time, The Joke offers a stunning vocal performance from Carlile, swathed in warm piano, big drums and a perfect string arrangemen.

... they hate the way you shine.
