One, two, three, four…
Out in the middle of nowhere
With nothing much else to do
Oh, the night brought us together
And I lent my heart to youMaybe you were running way from something
Without so much as a plan
Not a living soul to guide you
Jesus tattooed on your handAnd when my heart has no rest
And a thousand things are on my mind
I’ll always save some room for you
I won’t let you get left behindOh, and I always will remember
When the lonely day is through
That somewhere fall from Fulton County
A stranger says a prayer for youWe came into this life with nothing
And all we’re taking is a name
That’s why I’ve written you this song
This is for Fulton County Jane
-Brandi Carlile
Before I get into this Thursday’s flowertography collection, thought I would share some cruddy cell phone picture from going to see Brandi in concert in Omaha with Sara and Shawn.
Pink was there supporting Brandi.
It was nearly or over 100 degrees on this day.
But people waited in line just to get in to see Brandi.
The concert was at the baseball stadium that host the College World Series.
It was a bigger stadium than I expected.
It was nice of Pink to build this big stage for Brandi.
The opening act was Grouplove. You can see Hannah Hooper if you squint.
Brandi!
This guy’s head.
About as good of a picture as I could get of Brandi and the twins, cause of this guy’s head.
Pink closed the show for Brandi.
If you look closely, you can see Pink descending to the stage from the lips.
More descending.
I actually almost like this picture.
On her last song, Pink flew around the stadium.
It was an amazing concert that just needed more Brandi! A week ago I could have told you every song she played, but for now it is enough to note that she did play “The Story” and “Broken Horses”. The highlight of the Pink portion of the show was when she talked about how she wished she could write songs like Brandi. Then Brandi came out and they sang “Nothing Compares 2 U” as a tribute to Sinead O’Connor.
It was a great show and I can’t wait to see Brandi perform again!
But Thursdays ARE for flowers. Here are some flower pictures I took in my yard back in May:
Next Thursday I might share more flower pictures from my yard or more pictures from Pella. It is a mystery that will only revealed by time.
