This song is incredible and can apply to so many things; alcohol, mental illness, ill-temperament. It’s just so perfectly written and cuts to the bone.

While I was hoping this song was going to be about a Mama Werewolf protecting her pack from a nest of Vampires, the actual song was better than my imagination

Mama Werewolf Brandi Carlile “Broken Horses” is the sixth song on Brandi Carlile’s seventh studio album, In These Silent Days. In the lyrics, Carlile speaks to her children Shooter Jennings & Dave Cobb [Verse 1] Your mama is a werewolf with long, sharp teeth I'm up all night when the world should sleep I curse the darkness when it's killin' time I got a river of fear runnin' through my mind When the moon shines through those parting clouds I hear the call and I howl out loud I stalk the streets where the shadows lie And I pray to God that that sun will rise But that sun don't always rise [Chorus] If my good intentions go runnin' wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one? My silver bullet in the gun [Verse 2] When I wake and, and I'm reborn My body aches and my soul is torn I search the void for any clues And I feel ashamed for what I've put you through This curse a gift from my father's kin They fought the beast I feel within But we don't talk about it and we don't call its name We just carry on, hopin' it'll change But we know it'll never change [Chorus] If my good intentions go runnin' wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one? My silver bullet in the gun Would you strike me down right where I stand? Would you change me back, make me kind again? Won't you promise me you'll be the one? My silver bullet in the gun [Chorus] If my good intentions go runnin' wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one? My silver bullet in the gun Would you strike me down right where I stand? Would you change me back, make me kind again? Won't you promise me you'll be the one? My silver bullet in the gun

Listen to this song on the live that actress Sarah Paulson did on Instagram. And soon I discovered this splendid artist! I always listen to your songs, Brandi. It's adorable! Hugs from Brazil 🌹🇧🇷

As a parent who's also an imperfect human, this song is everything.

This fiery song communicates my deep love for and protection of my beautiful and gifted children together with my empathetic sadness at and fear of my weakness. I had never come across a song that captured and truly nailed this. In fact, Brandi articulated this dichotomy for me in such a powerful way it helped me see and better understand myself - and that, for better or worse, I am not alone.

When I first heard this song I thought of the relationship between a child and a parent, but more of a relationship the parent had with mental illness like bipolar, one minute she is the wolf and the next she is herself. That’s what I think of, not just a argument or troubled relationship between child and parent but a heart wrenching experience of a child having to pull their parent out of a bipolar episode or another form of episode due to a mental illness

When I layed down on a quiet couch and first listened to the album, this one hit me right in the heart. Bawled like a baby. I sing it to my kid now.

Brandi teaching how to be a better parent one song at a time ❤

This one struck really hard. I give my children full permission to tell me if I’ve hurt them. I know I cannot be perfect, and it’s something I need them to know I am aware of. I need them to be able to come to me, and I’m willing to take the pain of knowing what I’ve done, if I can keep raising them up higher and higher and loving them the way they need to be loved.

I was thinking of my late mother on a drive home. Then this song came on. I’d like to believe she was reaching to me at that moment ❤

This was the deep truth, hard-hitting, look in the mirror and see yourself song on the album for me. It was both difficult and sad and eloquently powerful - an artistic weave of straight honesty and hope.

They fought the beast I felt within 😳 DAMN

I never liked country music. I moved to the states, drove through the mountains of the PNW and the only station available was country, heard this song and loved it!

I am absolutely OBSESSED with this song... 'Right on time' might be a showstopper, but this is just... brilliant!

Sometimes you do your best and still hurt people, so don’t beat yourself up parents. You can learn to do better from your kids, and they will learn to be resilient and speak their truths if you can listen when they say that they hurt. Stay gentle applies to parents, too!

I heard one tune from Brandie Carlile and bought two tickets for myself and my mom. The concert was around Hocking Hills College area, "down in the hollar" as they say here in Ohio. Mom was over 65 then, with flowers in her hair and had too much fun. Such a beautiful memory, of my momma werewolf.

I heard this song on XM radio the other day and have been addicted ever since! So happy I now know about this amazing singer!!

MY FAV SONG FROM THIS ALBUM. I find myself listening to this on repeat and being haunted by the lyrics and the melody long after play has finished.

Coudn't cry for years but this song touched me so deep, that I cried several times today. I also can't stop listening. It feels so relieving! Love this gorgeous song. Its my absolute favorite from this great album. Hope Brandi an the twins will come for a concert to germany some day 😍

I can be a monster sometimes. I'm not good with words at all. This was everything I feel when I've hurt him emotionally 😭😭😭😭thank you ❤

Just discovered Brandi Carlile, what a beautiful song 🙏🙏💕🌈

Trying every day to be a better human and a better mother and this song just hit me right in the conciounce! I think many of us forget we are human and we make mistakes and we need to apologize to our kids. I may be a broken human but I’m trying with every ounce of my being to be the mother they deserve.

Best song she ever wrote. Facts 💯 She'll never write one better than this...lyrics, chords and rhythm.

We try to turn wolf at the right time, sometimes we don't turn back in time. I have been brought down to size by a person I birthed. It is humbling, but it actually makes me proud that I, along with others, put forth a good man.

In floods of tears… I never was the silver bullet

This song really speaks to me.

Your music is so beautiful, Brandi.🤍

Just wow 🥰 Why would anyone dislike this, nuts!!!!

Your mama is a werewolf With long sharp teeth I'm up all night When the world should sleep I curse the darkness When it's killing time I got a river of fear Running through my mind When the moon shines through Those parting clouds I hear the cold And I howl out loud I stalk the streets Where the shadows lie And I pray to God That that sun will rise But that sun don't always rise If my good intentions go running wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one My silver bullet in the gun When I awake And I'm reborn My body aches And my soul is torn I search the void For any clue And I feel ashamed For what I put you through This curse I get From my father's kin They fought the beast I feel within We don't talk about it And we don't call it's name We just carry on Hoping it'll change Though we know it'll never change If my good intentions go running wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one My silver bullet in the gun Would you strike me down Right where I stand? Would you change me back? Make me kind again? Won't you promise me you'll be the one My silver bullet in the gun Ah... Ah... Ah... Dah, dah, dah If my good intentions go running wild If I cause you pain, my own sweet child Won't you promise me you'll be the one My silver bullet in the gun Would you strike me down Right where I stand? Would you change me back? Make me kind again? Won't you promise me you'll be the one My silver bullet in the gun

I keep coming back to this incredible song, one of the best on the album

🌹This song is another beauty by Brandi Carlile.

Brandi... she burned and died. In the Lionsess tonight! 😂

❤️

ouch this one hurts

I hope i can too

I call her Mama Sheila.

Was Jesus and me.❤

🐺

Wow

Tan sent me here 😃

so in the recording, when she says “when the moon SHINES the room” at 0:23 that “shines” word is buried, sounds like a mistake. Anyone?? It also happens elsewhere.

Dreams 😂is the suspect 🎉

Ohahalo Reginald flakes, in a good way, that green buggy machine. ❤lo elm 3. The so cal es. 😂but also 😢❤😮for parallel reasons. 😮😊cute!

💟💟💟💟🤍🤍🤍🌊🌊💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

My Char, why do I feel like you are my mom? 🫡😒😪

It's kinda about generational trauma. If I do to you what was done to me...stop me in my tracks

People are talking about their relationships with their parents... I thought this song was about killing monsters?

What?

Sarah Paulson approved

What did she do? She was so natural. This is ridiculous. I reckon music can’t save me now I am so fucking sad.

Stop using chris Cornell's name to bounce your success. Stop covering his songs stop bouncing off his bands name to gain clout. Leave it, hes dead we are satisfied. You covered two easy ass songs anyone could. I'm not trying to be mean but it feels a bit disrespectful at this point. I get the tributes when he passed but the ep and gaining views for a cover of his music is bullshit.

This was the deep truth, hard-hitting, look in the mirror and see yourself song on the album for me. It was both difficult and sad and eloquently powerful - an artistic weave of straight honesty and hope.
