The Eye - Brandi Carlile - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"The Eye" is a track from Brandi Carlile's fifth studio album, The Firewatcher's Daughter, released on March 3, 2015. This acoustic folk song was penned by the dynamic songwriting trio of Brandi Carlile, Tim Hanseroth, and Phil Hanseroth. At its core, "The Eye" is a poignant ballad about having to watch an old friend choosing a path of self-destruction. Its minimalistic instrumentation – mostly acoustic guitar and subtle strings – allows Brandi Carlile's emotive, slightly raspy vocals and the harmonies of the Hanseroth brothers to shine. Musically, "The Eye" represents the singer-songwriter's rootsy Americana style infused with elements of country and folk. Shortly after its commercial release on December 15, 2014, "The Eye" peaked at Number 27 on the US Adult Alternative Airplay chart. In addition, it has been cited by Brandi Carlile herself as one of her favorite songs in her repertoire.
