The Utah Arts Festival Presents:

(My favorite pics of Annie and Me are from the concerts we go to.)

Ray Lamontagne & the Pariah Dogs, The Secret Sisters, and Brandi Carlile.

I went to Library Square on June 18th with Annie and our buddy Matt Marques. It was a really great concert and I was really impressed with all of the singers and the emotions that went through the crowd.

I am an armature listener to these artists but I equally loved them all. The woodsy-folk-rock of Ray, the bluegrass harmonies of the Secret Sisters, and the Soulful rich weavings of the heartfelt lyricist Brandi Carlile were all so lovely.

My favorite part of the concert was when Brandi Carlile sang Forever Young. It was so beautiful. I really am loving Brandi's songs and I hope that if you haven't heard her sing, that you can invest some time in looking her up. She is amazing.

There Was No You, Brandi Carlile:

When I see myself, I'm seeing you too
As long as I remember it
I'm feeling like I knew that
My jokes aren't funny
The truth isn't true
If there was no you

If you were my boat in the deep blue sea
I'd probably sink you down
I know I should have thanked you for carrying me
But for you I would happily drown

All along your way
The darkest night, the longest day
I know what to say to make you laugh
And nothing you could do could make me turn my back on you
When you're looking for a fight I'm your man
When you need a friend you got my hand

What I really mean, what I'm trying hard to say is that
I'm counting on you and you got me too
My secrets aren't safe, I'm singing out of tune if there was no you
If there was no you

All along your way, the darkest night the longest day
I know what to say to make you laugh
And nothing you could do could make me turn my back on you
When you're lookng for a fight I'm your man
When you need a friend you got my hand
When you need a friend you got my hand
You got my hand

When I see myself, I'm seeing you too
As long as I remember it
I'm feeling like I knew that
My jokes aren't funny
The truth isn't true
If there was no you

If you were my boat in the deep blue sea
I'd probably sink you down
I know I should have thanked you for carrying me
But for you I would happily drown

All along your way
The darkest night, the longest day
I know what to say to make you laugh
And nothing you could do could make me turn my back on you
When you're looking for a fight I'm your man
When you need a friend you got my hand

What I really mean, what I'm trying hard to say is that
I'm counting on you and you got me too
My secrets aren't safe, I'm singing out of tune if there was no you
If there was no you

All along your way, the darkest night the longest day
I know what to say to make you laugh
And nothing you could do could make me turn my back on you
When you're lookng for a fight I'm your man
When you need a friend you got my hand
When you need a friend you got my hand
You got my hand
