The 90s was a decade to remember and she was definitely part of a fantastic soundscape. So much great music. That was the decade of my 20 somethings and as much as I enjoy my life now, how I would want to do it all over again. I must have done something right, 90's music holds a large spot in both my daughter's playlists.

This performance is where I discovered 10,000 Maniacs and Natalie Merchant and I have been in love ever since. I haven’t seen this clip since it aired live. 🥲 The vibe in this song is the world I live to recreate ❤️❤️❤️ Thank u.

This is what the 90s felt like. Hopeful. Free. Very chill time to be alive. Love this song so much.

Talking about dopamine? Talking about Natalie Merchant! What woman, my God! Her voice, her smile, her movements... look at her face and sympathetic vibration; she really makes love on stage, in another kind of way, timeless, eternal, out from this ordinary world.

Always fascinating to watch Rob Buck do what he did so well. What an amazing, inventive guitarist.

Aaahhhh, when music was good, and times were simpler😍

Remembering hearing them perform this at UConn in May 1993. A year before I graduated. Year before I met my wife. This song takes me back to those days.

Notoriety to talent factor way under appreciated. So good.

Viva the memory and music of the 10,000 Maniacs.

At the time, I had no clue how totally hot she really was. And her singing is the best part.

There was never a woman hotter than Natalie Merchant at this time

Flawless performance by Natalie and the ENTIRE band…

I love her little dance, it reminds me of a lane on the Seinfeld show with her little kicks and those thumb things happening. 😁😁😁👍🏼 still after 30 years, her voice still remains perfect
