VIDEO: Brandi Carlile ‘The Things I Regret’

Brandi Carlile has been releasing great songs and entertaining fans for over a decade now, and one thing you can definitely say about her is that she’s consistent. Although she has dabbled with a number of different genres and styles, she has always been rooted to Americana with a true country heart, and this showed when she received her first ever (and very well-deserved) Grammy nomination this year for Best Americana Album (2015’s ‘Firewatcher’s Daughter’). That record is now a year old, but she recently released a video for the track ‘The Things I Regret’, which is currently in the top 30 on the Triple A and Americana charts.

For such a driving, ferocious folk rock song a la Mumford & Sons, the lyrics are surprisingly deep. Amidst simple phrase repetition for the hooks, Brandi explores self-reflection, regret, anxiety, and heartbreak, but the will to go on regardless, “for a heart that is broken makes a beautiful sound.” The video, meanwhile, focuses on her live show, with footage from a sold-out performance at Red Rocks, Colorado.
