There is a commercial playing on the Western Channel of TV and it is a female singing this song. I think some of the words are "because it's true, I was made for you"....I would love to know the origin of this song and who is singing it.
Thanks much

Who sings the song I was made for You on the Encore Westerns channel?

        
                
I was looking for the answer to this too! And after racking my brain and searching all over I found out the answer.. The song is called "The Story" by Brandi Carlile."

THis answer is from Wikianswers web site. Hope it helps.

The Story
Brandi Carlile

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do
I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what
I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

Wow I'm so glad I stumbled on this thread. I have been wondering for a long time who was singing that song.

I highly recommend this gal's current CD (It may be her first, i don't know) - I bought it a few months ago on itunes and this song, while lovely and memorable, is not the best song on the CD. The CD is a nice mix of folk-rock and features some nice harmonies. I like the song Cannonball the best. Even though her name is spelled as if she should be a poptart like Britney Spears ort somesuch, she's an artist with depth and talent.

"The Story" is being used all over television and no doubt a few people will find this thread when they google the lyrics. Hopefully, they'll go and put up the $$ for the album download or to buy the physical download - young artists with this amount of promise need to be supported in an age where it is becoming harder and harder for labels to find it worth their while to support the development of acts such as hers. Brandi Carlile is the singer & Songwriter gals like Gretchen Wilson only wish they could be.
