There are moments I could hold you forever
There are moments that lasted way too long
There are days when I change with the weather
To hold you in place would be wrong

Something about Brandi and the love and care she takes for her musical influences and ensuring that the public remembers their greatness while they are still here to benefit

I don’t know, smarter people have said it better. No end in sight how emotional this is, and the love and care that created an environment where it could be.
Hozier: Hearing @brandicarlile’s voice on this song for the first time was like watching sunlight come into a room, everything lifted and lightened. So proud to share this track with her.
Brandi Carlile: I’m so proud of my brother @Hozier!!
This album is an absolute master class. What a voice! What a soul!
