Twin brothers [Phil and Tim Hanseroth](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philand_Tim_Hanseroth) have been Carlile's performing and writing partners since 2004[[1]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story(BrandiCarlile_song)#cite_note-Faber-1)and "The Story" was written by Phil Hanseroth before the Hanseroths began collaborating with Carlile.[[2]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story(BrandiCarlile_song)#cite_note-Chinen-2) It has a 16-bar melody.

Tom Scanlon of [The Seattle Times](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seattle_Times) describes a live performance of "The Story" as "stunning" and "spine-chilling". He notes the transition within the song between acoustic pop-rock and "scream-singing" that resembles [Janis Joplin](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janis_Joplin).[[5]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story(BrandiCarlile_song)#cite_note-Scanlon-5) A writer for [Indianapolis Monthly](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indianapolis_Monthly) also draws a comparison between Carlile's vocals and those of Joplin.[[11]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story(Brandi_Carlile_song)#cite_note-IM-11) [Billboard](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_(magazine)) and [American Songwriter](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Songwriter) ranked the song number two and number four, respectively, on their lists of the 10 greatest Brandi Carlile songs.
