    I gave my strength.
    For years like an ox I pushed,
    and for years like a ship I sank
    to the bottom of that unknown sea.
    I'm still learning to be free and not so somber.
    Every night I stay up a little longer
    searching on that field of stars.
    Do you know who you are?
    Can you dig up my tree?
    Can you find what's inside of me?
    Find the origin of my defeat.
    In the beginning
    I was all dreams
    Times have changed-
    I'm no longer the same
    I don't want you to leave.
    It's so bittersweet that this is the time you met me;
    I'm going through a long phase:
    I don't try to relate,
    I don't really try to find someone to sedate me.
    Hard out for remedy, it's so bittersweet (you and me).
    In the beginning
    I was all dreams
    Times have changed-
    I'm no longer the same
    Every day's a lesson in giving away.
    Stripes on my floor, dark shots at my door.
    Have you ever walked in on a queen before?
    I just went through the valley,
    (I know it's changed me)
    fire from eternity, the origin of my dreams.
    In the beginning
    I was all dreams.
    Time caught up with me
    and I can finally see.

    This song makes me think of my beautiful sister and her beautiful voice and of swimming in a lake and hiking in the mountains together. Carol, 1958-2016. Never forgotten, always heard in my mind.

      I'm a guy and I grew up in a home with 4 sisters no brothers and I'm always drawn to things that are female centric. It hasn't helped me really know women any better though. This video really has that for me my sisters all wore their hair long and straight and parted in the middle it was the 70's.

    I just discovered Weyes Blood today, but she became my artist of the year. Even these older songs already sound perfect. Not, because they are perfectly made or arranged, but because they share some uncorrected authenticity without additional cosmetics. Real expressions, so to say. Rare in this world meanwhile. But great to hear it sometimes - nevertheless.

    She looks so young. This moves me extremely I was 18 I had my first job in Calgary moved there from Ontario. The first summer I had my first car a volkswagon and I decided when I had my first week of paid holidays in my life to drive from Calgary to the Vancouver and took the ferry across to Vancouver Island and all the way to Tofino on the west coast. The scenes of her in the old car driving and stopping and wandering almost choke me up. It was 1980 and the scenes so remind me of myself doing that and trying to find who I was. I'm a guy and older now but this is just like what I did. Very powerful song and video.

      This is such a beautiful comment. I’m
      Not sure if you know this, but this music video was actually filmed in Canada! Specifically in Northern Ontario (Thunder Bay) I’m from northern Ontario myself so I feel very connected to this video in a sense haha.

    • @comeupandseememakeme

      @@stormsthatbreed That's nice to hear I live in Ontario now. Did the trip again in summer 2020 Calgary to Vancouver this time on a bicycle. Got on the ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo and that's where it ended. Rode the bike the same route I took in 1980 by Volkswagen.

    Hey Natalie, I'm a diehard metalhead, and I absolutely LOVE your music. Like Harrison, Baez, Drake (Nick) and Dylan, you're in the history books lady. Singing about things that human beings rarely ever have the guts to tell one another. Keep on rocking in the free world!

    The ability to summon the true meaning of life in a single song is something otherworldly. She has it and it is incredible. This song makes me want to simultaneously give into all the demons but fight them off with the hope of a happy existence. It's the dichotomy of life at it's most emotional and profound

    Ya no soy el mismo, he pasado por mi valle y simplemente eso me cambió. No es fácil, realmente intento seguir pero en serio es tan difícil, a veces solo quiero volver a cuando por lo menos podía abrir los ojos sin pensar en lo mucho que me odio. Estoy madurando, estoy creciendo mientras caigo en picada, no quiero ser sedado, quiero ser curado pero no sé cómo. Tal vez llanamente venimos a sufrir y a aprender en este mundo tan grande, maravilloso, monótono y ante todo, extraño, muy extraño.

    The George Harrison influence is so strong - listen to "Dear One" from the 33 1/3 album, eerily similar. The head shot on the water is straight off the Martin Scorsese film. Nice homage to former styles, with unique interpretation. Natalie Mering is such a blessed, spiritual talent.
