Brandi Carlile "By The Way, I Forgive You" RESERVE SHELF with the first helping QueensBy The Way, I Forgive You is not an album about forgiveness in the easy sense where someone has hurt you and then suddenly there's a great reconciliation and a remorse filled scene with two people running across the golden wheatfield towards an embrace that somehow undoes a lifetime of pain and damage, as if the past has no meaning. It's about radical acceptance (not to be confused with complacency) and unconditional love.
