I could watch her forever. She's sooo different and I wish I could teach this song to all my students. The lyrics are beautiful. More Natalie's in the world please.
I used to hear her on the radio in the 80’s and 90’s. OMG… I am speechless watching this beautiful amazing free spirit…. especially when she lets loose with her dancing. I had no idea.
I heard 1st graders are singing this generously humble song to their departing teacher at an assembly this morning . I got to hear just 2 of my grand kids rehearsal and it choked me up can’t imagine 30 voices thanking their teacher , she’ll be a basket case for sure.
Every time an artist performs a song it's a little different each time especially when it's live this is such a great song and such a great performance and a beautiful venue I probably watch this 100 times and brings tears to my eyes every time .
Here again! Just LOVE Love her and this video.... I play it over and over and over and over.....and over Makes my Heart sing and my soul so happy. In these days of darkness.....she shines the light and provides hope!!!!
You have uncommonly good taste for a guy, check out Ephraim Lewis sometime, he had just 1 album before a tragic death in '93, but his music and his gift has haunted me for some 30 years
My how time flys, but then there are certain people that transcend. I fall in love everytime I watch this. We r older only in time. I'm just a young hippie when I watch this, I wanna thank you..
Wholly cow, really nobody else listens to this? Now I remember what's wrong with the world. What an amazing person y'all r missing out on. What an entertainer too..
I love Natalie, awesome new album. I’ve been listening to her since “Trouble Me”. I love Ophelia and 2014, I’ve given her a thrashing. Awesome lyricist ❤
This is the best performance of this song on TH-cam. Most rockin, and most heartfelt. Natalie is at her most relaxed, but see how she twists her hair while spouting German to an audience member? How she paces back and forth across the stage like a caged creature?That's part of what makes her so interesting. She really is the kind, feeling person who wrote those lyrics, and is not entirely comfortable on a stage
I dont see what you see at all. Pacing like a caged creature? Not once. I see a woman exceedingly competent in her craft and completely in control. A real pro.
@@behmdaniel If you can't recognize nervousness, for instance Natalie uncounsciously twisting her hair as she speaks German to an audience member, you are pretty stupid.
What a freaking pro.. fought right through the cotton mouth and gave the people what they wanted Natalie Merchant Hippie dancing, it's like the greatest thing ever .
Thank you Natalie...were are always will be, u r a gift.. shake it up. I miss y, I will certainly always love you.. the greatest hippie stage dancer ever.. u just kill
I first fell for face ,there's a very unique looking women , then I fell for voice oh that's the delightful sound that songbird makes , now I just fell for the hips, oh she can do that too . The complete love child hippy package . That's tough to beat . No doubt no doubt.
Yup just me again, is this amazing show a secret.. lol.. my only what if or why not was always why didn't the greatest hippie chic stage dancing amazing soul play with the Dead. Love u Nat.. we were young now we're not, but ur still beautiful..
Watching her dance brings me to tears and warms my soul. The world needs more of this vibe...
Hippie ... freedom
This is a diva
This may be one of the most beautiful songs ever performed
Absolutely HOOKED on this song, what a true classic. And I ❤️ that drummer...😊
My wife told me she was dedicating this song to me and I cry every time!
She is one of a kind. Her song writing is thoughtful and her voice is so warm.
She's perfect, I fall asleep almost every night listening to her recently. Her voice is so soothing! Take care!
I could watch her forever. She's sooo different and I wish I could teach this song to all my students. The lyrics are beautiful. More Natalie's in the world please.
Honestly, 25-30 years later...she's a musical Goddess...one of the best ever
I used to hear her on the radio in the 80’s and 90’s. OMG… I am speechless watching this beautiful amazing free spirit…. especially when she lets loose with her dancing. I had no idea.
right? i never knew the lyrics so im discovering her now…
Before my Moms passed away, they had a commercial that played this every time I hear this, I cry 😢. 2020. She passed in 2022.
Just a natural beauty with an incredible voice!!!!! Love Natalie Merchant!!!!!
No Natalie, thank YOU for all the great music and memories!
I play this at least once a day..love that hippie dance
Oh yes
After all these years (Decades) I still can't get enough of her. An Absolute Treasure!
I heard 1st graders are singing this generously humble song to their departing teacher at an assembly this morning . I got to hear just 2 of my grand kids rehearsal and it choked me up can’t imagine 30 voices thanking their teacher , she’ll be a basket case for sure.
Natalie is such a free spirit and full of joy.
Everytime the dance is totally different, Natalie is a hippie treasure
Her voice is so pretty too!
She’s NOT a hippie!

Yeah we were tripping my friend
I think the VH1 Storytellers is the best version where she interacts with the audience in a much more intimate setting.
I dont see what you see at all. Pacing like a caged creature? Not once. I see a woman exceedingly competent in her craft and completely in control. A real pro.
