To the 20 of you out there who gave a negative vote on this video all that I can say to you is that you should all be truely ashamed of yourselves.....this was a truely wonderful and moving performance by Natalie and her fellow collaborators.
I know this wonderful woman personally, and she is just as beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. She cares more for others than for herself, She also becomes more beautiful every year. Thanks, my dear.
I have always wanted to meet Natalie..She has been an inspiration to me for many years...Just love her!!
Don Layne Your very lucky to know her. She seems so goodhearted like me. Tell her , Thank you. Thank you for helping many. Thank you.
I love her too!♥️ Such an amazing woman
She give me tears
I also know this wonderful woman personally
The young man singing has a beautiful voice. I would love to hear more of him. Natalie is a beautiful person.

His name is John Castillo. He is part of the "Perkins Trio" at the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Massachusetts. Saw him in their christmas concert last week. Incredible show. Wonderful kids.....very emotional for all.
This is one of the most touching duets I have ever heard. I've played it several times and know I will come back many more times. Such talent. These two beautiful voices were meant to sing this song together.
I cannot think of a more beautiful version of this sung by Natalie. My gosh, this is so beautiful. Natalie is such a kind, warm, compassionate and generous human being. She embodies many traits we can all aspire to. That's us on the left shaking hands at our 1st meeting April 8, 1999 after I presented her with a bouquet of a dozen steel roses I welded for her. I adore this woman immensely.
Us also bro. Godessness comes through very strong here. Yer mon Kristy Moore did a quite moving version of motherland also. Aroha nui
How could anyone possibly give this a thumbsdown ?? All 23 of you out there (and you know who you are !) may you wake up deaf in the morning !

I have never seen this before...such beauty..tears well in my eyes and my heart is two times bigger for seeing this!
second that; very touching indeed
Me too ...it's impossible not having tears in our eyes
This is why we love Natalie.
And that is for sure. Touches my soul on how beautiful her singing is and her as a person.
Natalie knows how to celebrate beauty because she is a beautiful person in so many ways you can see she has her heart on her sleeve. Thank you for sharing these moments in time that you just wish you seen and felt in person.
TEARDRIVING!!!!!
The more I discover of Natalie via TH-cam the more I love and respect both her talent and her humanity!!!!
Their voices have that perfect blend! Can't stop listening! Beautiful!
This is absolutely beautiful!! What an amazing voice the young gentleman has....and Natalie is the best! Her compassion and love radiate throughout this performance!!!!

One of the many incredible works by Natalie Merchant...I have listened to her sing this live countless times...this performance though is so special..brought me to tears.
I wish Iwish I listened to this before just before we all have a before
Very imotinal
I just saw/heard John Castillo tonight for the first time at the Summer Revels in Watertown, MA. AWESOME voice! His dad told me about THIS youtube with Natalie, and I'm even more blown away. I hope someone out there records a cd with/for/of John: I'll buy a bunch!
I've loved Natalie Merchant & 10000 Maniacs for a long time but have never seen this before. Natalie is a spiritually beautiful person; It's uplifting to see & hear this performance. XX
Often I wonder what I’m actually doing and why-then I see these videos and it all comes flooding back to me in tears. It’s a great gift/perspective-the lives we have the privilege to touch each day. Thanks Natalie Merchant for your gifts and reminding all who worked with individuals with disabilities of the gift they give us when we take time to be present in the moment while working alongside them. All 3 videos you did at Perkins School for the Blind are incredible-true treasures. THANK YOU!!!
Everytime I listen to it, tears come into my eyes. Yo can perceive so well how Natalie cares for this man. Thanks
Keep coming back to this duet, so beautiful and fragile.
Unsighted.....but wonderfully rich in voice and spirit.....God Bless you young man and may you stay forever young.
Wonderful singers ... beautiful voices !!
What a duo.
When Natalie Merchant tells you you have a beautiful voice that damn you have a beautiful voice.

C'est tellement touchant, j'en verse des larmes de bonheur partagées de tristesse en pensant au départ récent de ma mère, elle est partie entouré de si bons soins et de tant d'amour de ses enfants. Repose en paix ma bonne petite maman, tu le mérites!
