Lately I’ve been listening to Brandi Carlile. She’s amazing: the voice, the lyrics, the live concert!

However I’m quite worried she’s a bit country and it’s the second country singer I like. The first was Beth Orton. It’s been over a month I’ve only listened to the following albums: Brandi Carlile, The Story and a couple of live performances of Creep and Hallelujah (I get goosebumps when I listen to the first one). I don’t want to like Country Music… But Brandi and Beth are not traditional country singers and maybe that’s why I like them. I like “alternative”, “electronic” and stuff like that.

Hey there what’s that in your sky
With all the pretty lights
You think I can get that high?

Hey you man, where’s your motivation
And why the celebration
You’ve gotten nothing done here

You wanna live until you
Die alone and will
I can
Lie alone,
I will
I’m not so far below
I live beneath your sky
With tainted eyes
I’ve made my mind
To live until I die

Run run run catch me if you can can can
Come and hold my hand and I’ll be your biggest fan
Followers living in your hollow words
I have seen your nine to fives
Wash away your dreams

You wanna live until you
Die alone and will
I can
Lie alone,
I will
I’m not so far below
I live beneath your sky
With tainted eyes
I’ve made my mind
To live until I die

(Brandi Carlile – Until I die)
