The Mountains
Fiction for Bandits Lyrics

@postmortem665

Love knows no boundaries.
Love can pass from this world
to the world of the deceased and vice versa.

LOVE THIS SONG!!!! I listened to it all through my chemo.. I was 5 months pregnant at the time, and I had a 15 month old at home. I had a 16% chance of survival, but I knew I was made for my babies, and I could never give up....10 years later, I broke all the rules, and I broke them all for those two❤

"All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am, so many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am". These words saved me during many rounds of chemo and radiation. I was diagnosed with breast cancer when I had a kindergartener and a 4th grader. My boys were so young, I told my oncology team, bring it on, I can take it...I just have live long enough to get them through high school. The chemo took it's toll and aged me so much faster than my friends, it was hard to deal with. Now I know the lines across my face tell the story of where I've been. 15 years out and one boy has graduated from college and one who is a Junior...both are thriving and I celebrate life every day. Thank you, Brandi for putting into words, what I could not.

The other day, a girl I've known for a long time, who makes money, has all the nice things, is organized and type A, told me that her life is a mess and said that i have it all together, so it must be nice. I live with my in laws, struggle with ADHD, and feel like things are falling apart at least twice a week.

@imeldawright2504

This is truly one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and I cannot imagine any other voice delivering it besides that of Brandi Carlile. It reminds us that we all have a "story," and our stories are typically a mixed bag of joy and pain, but despite our struggles, our stories are what make us who we are. This is song elicits so much emotion and should be celebrated as one of the greatest songs of all time.

@susansmith4749

You should hear LeAnn Rhimes version. It is outstanding too. Very strong!

@juancamacho5746

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to, it's true
I was made for you

I climbed across the mountaintops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby, I broke them all for you
Oh, because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks, you do
I was made for you
🎸
You see the smile that's on my mouth
Is hiding the words that don't come out
And all of our friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true, I was made for you
Oh, yeah well it's true, that I was made for you

@CollisionofSoul

I cant believe I heard this song for the first time today while driving along the Hudson in the Adirondacks. It broke me and I needed it. So many losses and too many deaths contrasted with meaning barely unfolding and so little joy, it all just builds up to a moment when only something so powerful as these words sung from this voice releases the inexpressible, crushing inner vexation of the soul, and I can breathe again. Even for 5 minutes. It'll have to be enough. Thank you, God.

@songbird1307

@@mikamamma I haven't heard Shelby Lynn's music in awhile. She is not a current artist. I had a couple of her CD's in the late 90's. I am not sure if she still records music. She started out as country on the 1st CD that I bought and then went more bluesy on the 2nd CD. She played Johnny Cash's mom in the movie Walk the Line. Literally the only song I remember loving back then of hers is called something like "What About the Love We Made". I loved the soul in her voice. Just talking about this makes me want to explore her music again. 🙂

@457Deb

I hate to feel this way (cuz I love Brandi) but I sometimes feel that her vocal breaks are contrived...not natural.

@mikamamma

@@457Deb I get ya…I can feel the same way about certain singers, myself. I don’t feel that way about Brandi, though. It may be because I don’t listen to enough of her songs. To me, the way she so skillfully emotes justifies the aching breaks in her voice and I just love it. But I definitely get how it could affect you (and maybe others) differently.

I feel like I’m only half of myself without you. There will never be anyone else like you. I’m trying to measure up but you set the bar too high for me to reach.

now, almost 13 years later, i finally discovered the songs name and i can’t tell you how emotional it made me :’)
this song brings back so many memories and trying to hang on to the very few lines i remembered was hard.
but i can finally go back as many times as i want, and sing them over and over again, without being afraid of losing memories anymore.

I'm typing this comment on my Grandma's account right now, she passed away a few months ago. She was so unconditionally loving no matter who you were, She had no hate in her heart and just wanted to spread love around the world. She moved in after my Grandpa died and we all thought she had Many years left. There was no explanation for her death however its safe to say she passed from a broken heart from being away from my Grandpa Jim. This was one of the last things she ever listened too. Though it pains me to think she suffered without the touch of my grandfather I find beauty in her endless love for him and to me it is almost poetic, not even death could move you away from the love she had to give nor could it separate my grandparents. As I go through her pictures and video history I see that this song was one of the last things she ever heard, and it reminds me that she longed to be together with her husband, even though she could smile through the suffering she was in great pain. That pain is over now and my beautiful GrandMother Marijean Thomas is at peace spreading her love for eternity.

I saw Brandi Carlile perform with Wynonna Judd in Grand Rapids a few months ago, she was there to support Wynonna and act as a backup singer. It speaks volumes about Brandi that she supported Wynonna like that (and the entire concert was fabulous by the way), just as she has supported Tanya Tucker, Joni Mitchell, and so many other female artist. She is selfless and timeless and brimming with class, not to mention her incredible talent.

I went to a bar a few weekends ago and heard a band, Whiskey, Cash and Roses play this song and here I am, three weeks later, listening to this song, again, once a day. ❤️

@evangelostsokris1617

One of the best performances with great lyrics!

@wayjo59

I'm a born rocker but I have to admit this is one of my top 3 all time favourite songs. Rock on Brandi !

@brianpayne5991

This song is perfect. Her voice. Electric guitars become symphonic. Did I mention her voice? Guttural, emotional, rapturous.

@juniusvindex769

Been with my wife since 91, a few years ago after a bad year at work (Losing money and clients due to the crunch) i posted this sometimes on her fb, and highlighted although I may be broke, you make me feel like a million bucks to my wife. we later had my son ( who is now nine) and now although my son suffers with aspergers, he also makes me feel like a million bucks. And quite possibly kept me going to be here today.
Be grateful for the small things in life and take notice of the amazing things around you and life is cool.

This reads like the soundtrack of my 20's.  Nothing but pain, violence, poverty, solitude, struggle . . . and one tiny bright spot: my baby daughter.  She looked at me like I was amazing every single day.  I wouldn't go back to those days for any other reason but to give us both a huge hug and tell us it would eventually be at least somewhat okay.

@jeffrowlette

Only one person knows my story.
She's the love of my life...instantly the moment I met her.
We were together many years, but the world tore us apart....
After 12 horrible years apart, we've found each other again and are still madly in love...
She knows my story....
The first time, I saved her. This time she saved me. It's what we do I guess.

@kimberpas2907

You touched my heart when it was breaking (I lost my dad last September) and I want to thank you Brandi for doing so. ❤

@alexciafayimes302

Everytime I'm feeling down, I always listen to this song, and it just motivates me to be stronger ❤️❤️❤️

@hawtpuppetmama

It's really such a perfect song. Her voice, the beauty of the lyrics and music always make me tear up. Going through chemo most of my kiddo's life, this has been anthem of how I feel. The possibility of leaving them can be overwhelming, I love how music like this can harness your feelings.

@Crocady1

What a unique voice ♡♡♡

@chatlez2

You're all fucking nuts. This song is PERFECT with her voice; she puts sooo much emotion and feeling into the words, it's all just so wonderful.

@tootuo

you're so right, this song makes me cry a little because of the emotion she puts into her singing :)

Gosh, a trillion million blessings for you and your family! This song has always been my daughter & I "song". We've also seen Brandi in concert. Your beautiful daughter's soul will LOVE hearing THE STORY again🕊 She's in THEE most peaceful land EVER!❤

@h.annae.g2272

She was so beautiful last night in Berkeley Ca. Best concert I’ve been to so far can’t wait for the next time.

@rickhensley6686

I love the hitch in her voice and how she changes pitches. Great song. I intend to print off the lyrics and present them to my wife in a card for our anniversary.

@AFineLineA

I bet she loved that you did that! Heart touching and so thoughtful.

@azurecielo52479

I always call it the "sour note" but it is the perfect pitch... I love it too

The first time I heard this I burst into tears thinking about my kids, 18 yr boy and 9 yr girl. What a beautiful song you’ve made Ms!

@kimberlysullivan6632

Saw her last night for her first performance at TD Bank North Garden "The Gahden" in Boston. My first time seeing her was at House of Blues in 2009... So amazing to see how her music has evolved, how far she's come, and that she's getting the recognition she deserves. She and the twins are a force to be reckoned with. Both times were equally EPIC
