We continue to scratch our heads and wonder how Adele can be so popular and not others.  If there was any justice in the world of music, Brandi Carlile would be at least as popular as the Grammy-winning Brit.  Check Carlile out below singing her moving song, That Wasn’t Me, off of her fine 2012 album, Bear Creek, on The Current.  Oh how the girl can sing.

You can go to The Current HERE to listen to the whole session.  The lyrics are below the video.

That Wasn’t Me

“Hang on, just hang on for a minute
I’ve got something to say
I’m not asking you to move on or forget it
But these are better days
To be wrong all along and admit it is not amazing grace
But to be loved like a song you remember
Even when you’ve changed

Tell me did I go on a tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble onto your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you’ve seen, that wasn’t me
That wasn’t me, that wasn’t me

When you’re lost you will toss every lucky coin you’ll ever trust
And you’ll hide from your God like he ever turns his back on us
And you will fall all the way to the bottom and land on your own knife
But you’ll learn who you are even if it doesn’t take your life

Tell me did I go on a tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble onto your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you’ve seen, that wasn’t me
That wasn’t me, that wasn’t me

But I want you to know that you’ll never be alone
I wanna believe

Do I make myself a blessing to everyone I meet?
When you fall I will get you on your feet
Do I spend time with my family?
Does it show when I am weak?
When that’s what you see, that will be me
That will be me, that will be me
That will be me”
