SISTER TILLY
(words & music by Natalie Merchant)
Oh, Miss Tilly, I think you should know everyone’s missing you here -
with your hair a mess in your outdated dress,
when Halston was all the rage back in your Chelsea Girl days.
Oh, Miss Tilly, I think you should know everyone’s missing you here -
your bright yellow walls and your pashmina shawls,
crystals, chimes and your moonflower vines,
tinctures, teas and your secret remedies,
and your voice like Buffy Sainte Marie.
I just can’t believe that you’re gone,
that you’ve gone so far away.
Oh, Miss Tilly, I think you should know everyone’s missing you here -
fortune telling cards, prayer flags in the yard,
Rilke poems and your stacks of Mother Jones,
your feminist raves in your Didion shades,
and your Zeppelin so loud and so proud.
Here’s to your days at the barricades.
Here’s to the girls in the fray.
Oh, how we wish you could stay.
But you’re gone; you’ve gone so far away.
Sister Tilly, you go on without us.
Sister Tilly, you don’t think about us now.
Everything fades away.
Sister Tilly, you’re a superpower.
Sister Tilly, you’re a lotus flower now.
Everything fades away.
Sister Tilly, you’re a constellation.
Sister Tilly, you’re a white light vibration now.
Everything fades away.
No craving for sensation,
no want, and no temptation now.
Tears fall down like rain.
No fear and no delusion,
no doubt and no confusion now.
Tears fall down like rain.
There’s nothing but the big forever,
there’s nothing but a sweet surrender now.

I hope Natalie knows how much she has given to so many. There is so much to appreciate in her music.
Well said!
@@jankyme Thanks!
I feel like this album was written for me. ❤
@@belovedchild9812 I would figure that has to feel good.
@@ChrisConnolly-Mr.C-Dives-In it does. ❤️
Being able to see Natalie has been such a blessing to my life. This new album is no exception. It simply glows.
Wow!
Well whoever Ms Tilly was this is one helluva tribute to her life.
A beautiful homage to her.
Magnificent songwriting on this album.
Speechless.
🙌🏻
It's dedicated to the writer Joan Didion and all her sisters. It's mentioned at the very end of the video
Dearest Natalie thank you immensely for all the beauty you have brought into our world. "You've gone so far away." 😢 Indeed I lost my dearest father far too soon at age 68 December 14, 2021, closed my eulogy with King of May and wrote your lyrics Life is Sweet on his gloss black casket.
If it weren't for him getting Tigerlily so long ago I wonder when I would have finally discovered you and later on the REMARKABLE 10,000 Maniacs.
I just drove 625 miles from Ohio yesterday be here at your global tour opener wearing his favorite black and white long sleeve shirt despite the 90 degree temperatures and wouldn't miss it for the entire world. ❤
I am so glad he joined me to see you at the SLC, UT Leave Your Sleep 2010 tour and I know he is beside me in spirit today.
REST IN PEACE DAD. 🖤 I adore you immensely precious Natalie. 🥰
❤So sweet so kind and so generous.❤ God Bless You❤
@@carolann5959 I do appreciate it
I chose Natalie's beautiful version of 'Poor Wayfaring Stranger' for the start of my Dad's funeral last September. He was 92, so he had a good long life, with a couple of difficult (Covid era) years at the end. I really like the way the lyrics talk about meeting up with relatives who have gone before. As the opening banjo notes played and the early September sun filtered through the English oak trees outside the chapel, I was deeply moved.
My mum survived Dad by just 70 odd days (they met at infant school in the early 1930s). I chose Rhiannon Giddens' lovely version of the same song for the start of Mum's funeral.
Wow,your parents met in infant school in the 1930s ,and your mum died 70 days after your dad..so sad but so moving!
Thank you for sharing.
I just saw Natalie in concert last night in Hershey Pa. What an amazing performer who sings from the heart.
This song is so powerful and filled with love. It was transcendent to see her play this live. “A white light vibration” is such an incredible lyric.
The lyrics are delicate and pure poetry, they "give birth" to such beautiful images. Mrs Merchant returned wiser and more melodic than ever! 🙏
Your voice resonates with beauty inside and out! 💜✌️💜✌️
Natalie, your voice is so beautiful to me. Your music has always been food for my soul ❤ I love this new music too. I am so excited that you are back!!
I am too french fan
love the musical arrangement of these new songs ,, the strings and horns are so complimentary to her voice imo
great voice plus great backing band equals great music ... 🥰
*complementary
3:55 i didnt expect that transition very very nice! love Natalie!
She peeked into my past - bright yellow walls and Buffy Sainte-Marie! How’d she do that???
❤ Such a poignant homage - thank you Ms. Merchant 🌼💕
🕊🎐🪶🌀🌾
Natalie you are still the QUEEN.
I saw this incredible song live on Saturday..... I am still in awe....
Just saw her perform this tonight, just blown away!
She said Miss Tilly is an amalgam of the women from her mother’s generation, as I recall. Beautiful song. Natalie is one of those women I’d love to have coffee and a long talk with
Love the way when she mentions Zeppelin the drummer goes all Bonzo for a few bars!
This came to me by accident and I am so glad it did. Always loved Natalie. The passage of time & those we have loved, so wistful & often hard for us, letting them go on, yet holding on in our mind's eye to their glorious beams of light ...
Oh Natalie yet another heartfelt song from your latest album which I have ordered I cannot wait. It is a most wonderful memory of my phone interview with you I did in the late 80s prior to your concert in Auckland New Zealand. The phone cut out and you rang me back It was a very special and blessed period of my life
I really admire and respect you Natalie
Killer tempo shift… excellent uplift as reminiscent thoughts give way to the upward new.
Loved that about this song too. Went from 3/4 to 4/4 in a blink of an eye.
I loved your Mom so much! Anne was a Sister Tilly to me.
Just got home from seeing her perform this live with an orchestra. Her talent truly knows no bounds, it was nothing short of amazing.
❤️Gorgeous Song ❤️
I got to see this live on this tour (5/13/23). I'm so glad I packed tissues.
The voice of an angel,still. Amazing
My aunt used to call me till and every word of this song just hit me. I’m going through such a hard time right now.
Hang in there! ❤️
Hope everything gets better.
Amo Natalie e tudo que ela faz❤
Buy the album and support Natalie! ❤
I’ve bought 4 copies of the LP (2 copies of Limited Edition Red, 1 copy Limited Edition Gold, 1 copy Standard LP), and 1 CD.
Can't wait to see you in Glasgow in November :)
You’ve still got “it”. :)
Beautiful song.
I agree. I think this new album is her best since Motherland.
@@rossmurray6849 I do like the new album, but I respectfully disagree, as I feel that the 2014 'Natalie Merchant' album was very underrated.
@@portcullis5622 Thanks. I might not have listened to that one but I'll do so soon.
@@rossmurray6849 It was a fine album, but it was largely overlooked. Fine songs like 'The End', 'Go Down Moses', 'Lulu' and 'It's a Coming' deserved a wider audience.
I just lover music so much! I’ve always been her biggest fan! I saw her in concert in the 90’s in Austin at south park meadows. I’ve listened to her all these years!❤❤❤❤
I LOVE Sister Tilly!
This is an incredible album.
The album, not just this song.
Thanks for that!
No kidding. It’s rich and gorgeous.
This is really two songs. The second song starts at 4:03. Really great.
So beautiful: my Sister Tilly is my wonderful shape-shifting mum who was eclectic long before it was fashionable. I think of her every day 💕
Que bella canción! Saludos desde Argentina!
Beautiful song ❤
Natalie I wish you would come to Wellington, NZ!
Ode to a Boomer.
That's me, at the back end of the curve.😊
God Bless Natalie. From a WNY fan.
From my first time seeing the 10,000 Maniacs and Natalie at Joyce’s keg room when they first started out. She still to this day has that voice and words that only the Maniacs and Natalie can reach my soul.
I so wish I could be at your concert at Chautauqua institution but can’t make it.
Thank you for doing a concert at home. We are after all your first fans.
This is such a beautiful, heartfelt tribute to a life well lived! This song is Natalie at her very best! I’ve been a fan of hers since 1989 and I’m finally getting to see her in concert in Chicago on May 19th. I’m so excited!
Saw her last night...there just aren't enough superlatives! An outstanding performer with an incredible orchestra. The best 3 hours I've spent in a long time. Enjoy!
Saw her do this song live in April. It was very new. It was very emotional. She had to stop and compose herself several times. Lot of tears in the audience by the end of the song.
Yes good stuff
She's petty cool,
I am so glad these new songs have come out.
Brilliant.
holy shhhhhht! floored.
Thank you, beautiful song. keep it going! love you
Was wondering who Sister Tilly might be,she sounds/sounded like a lot of fun!(and a Zeppelin fan to boot!)
Fantastic to have new music from Natalie,some of these songs,Hunting the Wren and the Feast of St Valentine in particular,are as haunting and beautiful as anything she's ever done.
The album is on constant rotation here,along with the new Jethro Tull, RökFlöte,a late masterwork from the irrepressible Ian Anderson.
nice 'Lil number to chill driving home after work
So relatable... Thank You Natalie.... 😟 Beautiful
Absolutely beautiful.
One of my favorites she did 2nd opening night - Poughkeepsie 4/15/23
I’m ecstatic to hear new Natalie Merchant.
LOVE IT!
10,000 maniacs with Natalie is still my favorite.
Beautiful...
This is such a jam!
Gorgeous 🕯️
That was lovely. Something different. I needed that 🤗
Another classic
That’s a beautiful song
Masterpiece
Simply amazing!
love this and love your music thankyou Natalie
Magnificent! ❤️
Beautiful❤
Lovely ❤
So good. Gracias...
I've missed you.
Miss Lilly
¡Beautyful , amazing !
So sad, so hopefull
🗽xo💞...
who is miss tilly? I would like to know the backstory. Thank you.
She said mrs tilly is an amalgam of the various women of her mother’s generation who had an influence on her, and she’s paying homage to them. The older women who mentored her and sort of took her under their wing during her naive young adult and early Maniacs days
Hopefully you will come to Chicago
Next month at Chicago theatre
