"The Story" is a song released as a single by American folk rock singer Brandi Carlile, written by Phil Hanseroth, from her 2007 album The Story. It is one of Carlile's best-known songs and has been included in the setlist of all of her concert tours to date.
The song was featured in Grey's Anatomy on April 12, 2007 and is on Grey's Anatomy Soundtrack album 3 (released September 11, 2007). It received renewed attention when a cover version was recorded by Grey's Anatomy actor Sara Ramirez and included in the 2011 musical episode "Song Beneath the Song".
