Genre: Memoir, Music
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Feelings:
- Me getting through this was ALOT
- Me OBSESSIVELY adding songs to my iTunes Library as they are introduced in the chapters
- Me "You-Tubing" Brandi's Grammy's performance & getting chills
- Me questioning HOW I've lived 45 minutes away from Newport & never heard of Brandi or been to a show before
- Me underlining EVERY imaginable quote & life advice
Reflection:
Brandi is a true poet with a voice of an angel who can somehow cleverly write and emote her deepest feelings and memories and not somehow break down every time.
The music business, and really this world, need more people like Brandi Carlile.
Whether you have found connection through her music, her humanitarian work, her LGBTQIA+ representation, or through her words, Brandi has managed to leave her mark on more than just the entertainment industry.
Brandi - Thank you for this beautiful and moving story about you and the people who shaped your life. And thank you for being brave enough to share it with the world.
