- Maria Shriver interviews Natalie Merchant, lead singer of 10,000 Maniacs, on NBC Sunday Today -- aired on October 8, 1989. Includes live footage from the bands Blind Man's Zoo tour in 1989.
To many of us, Natalie was already back then the renowned american treasure she would later become known as. Her integrity has remained intact as a songwriter, and her beautiful voice is singular & unlike any other.
She was and is a wonderful person.
Her voice is beyond words. Just heavenly
A beautiful poet, she has written some outstanding songs that are just sheer poetry xx
Who wrote "what's the matter here?"
Natalie and Robert Buck why?@@Thomas-u7r1n
I want you to know that I grew up Juring the bloody Sunday Of Derrycity Of Northern Ireland and your mousic has comed my Soul. Love you.😢
It's important to have parents that love and support you. She's ❤️ beautiful
She is brilliant
I've been singing your songs for decades. I remember requesting and waiting for more songs to be released in karaoke version so I can share your message. Everyone knows and loves your songs. Thank you for your brilliant heart and mind. I am singing about me when I sing your songs.
Lookin' back and nowadays, you succed in keep your values alive. It was hard, I know, but you did it! Pride of you, Natalie!
An Angel singing heavenly melodies full of Poetry!!! ❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💋❤💘💘💘
She never wanted to be the queen, or commercial spokesperson, or just keep trotting out the same stuff every two or three years. Just Natalie singing meaningful songs. I do wish today's female singers would cover her and the Maniacs more.
The young man in the beginning is Aaron from MTV's The Real World: Los Angeles.
That's funny. Good eye. That's the first season of Real World I watched.
I just spotted that too. I was watching it and thinking, "isn't that the guy from Real World?" Kind neat in the sense that it was 2-3 years before their show.
Thanks! I couldn't place him.
Thanks for that, now I know I'm not insane for thinking it was him.
Thanks, I knew he was familiar but I just couldn't place it. However, why would he have been interviewed three years before the show hit MTV?
She has been my benchmark of time. It all goes by too fast but Natalie has made my life more beautiful from childhood into middle age. When I see her current interviews, she is still stunningly beautiful and articulate, just as she was in the 1980's.
I really liked Trouble Me. Beautiful.
If you’ve ever taken care of a beloved, aging parent, who is challenged by declining health and increasing physical difficulties, Ms. Merchant and Mr. Drew’s simple, yet extremely profound song takes on an especially personal meaning.
Great interview. Thanks for posting this!
Humble beginnings to ..... never sold out to the powers that be, original. Didn’t go for the money grab but ended up ok.
Natalie.❣️
did she call them " the public television of pop music" ? I'm sorry guys, she obviously meant it as a compliment.
What a babe!
6:25p.m…Nat Merchant is a very talented song writer , and singer. I crave her voice!

Maria Shriver was so pretty
I'd take Natalie any day over her. Back then though. Natalie hasn't aged very well.
@Samuel Rummer You mean Natalie or Maria Shriver?
@@dookdawg214 well, I think she has aged well. She's real, her spirit carries her so well. She is a beautiful older woman. ...we've all aged. She's got me by 5 years, I love her honest, and real look. My wife carries her age in a similar way....she is honest, active, vibrant...nothing fake about either of them. Celebrate what God gave you!
@dookdawg214 she's still beautiful. We all get older and she looks great for her age.
@frenchfry farmer I think she's still beautiful.
Sad. I heard that the band tried its best to stay together after her departure but
NINE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE MANIACS just wouldn’t fit on the marquee anywhere. 🤔
The question about being a rock star was funny. If anything she was the anti-rock star. Interesting the band broke up 4 years later....great music.
Did she get cancer from the brush killer agent orange?
My dad was marine over in Vietnam and was awarded a purple heart aswell.
NICARAGUA?
Who
In a way, she was the Yoko Ono of 10,000 Maniacs. No, that’s not right, more like Peter Gabriel and Genesis.
I think she left because the bands sound was limited.
@@jamesdemichele3649 you might be right. But, at least in the early days, that band rocked. Her lyrics/vocals were mostly irrelevant in a live show. She was an alternative/artsy pop singer in a post-punk band. I’m rambling lol
Dumbest comment ever. Without Natalie 10,000 Maniacs SUCKED. Natalie was the only reason fans showed up.
@@dave623 Rambling nonsense.
10k maniacs were first wave american indie-alternative pioneers, self releasing their first records before signing to a major label. Natalie was always more talented than you'd expect as the band always won over any lucky new listener with their great songs.
Bjork
Why is talking with that strange foreign accent, is it to make herself sound more cultured? She's from rural New York lol
I've talked to countless people in Jamestown and I've never heard one talk like Natalie. You're right, it's an affectation that's intended to give her an exotic sound that stands out from the hicks and rubes back home. I've personally witnessed others do the same thing on a situational basis. In a broader sense, think of the laughable way Madonna tried to adopt an English accent at one point in her life. What a laugh!

She makes me think she has been holding a dump in since 1983. Maybe it’s just me.
Its just you
@James
It's definitely just you.
How do you know? Do u know anyone that's held one in that long, maybe it makes for wonderful lesbian emo hits
@ James,
Get a life.
@@thomasallen7359 oh Thomas I did. I didn't know you had a boner for Natalie merchant. You must be one of the 10,000 maniacs. I don't feel as if Natalie should have a you tube body guard. U have to be a gay
