    One of the most honest and real female artist I've ever heard. It really hurts inside listening to Meg, but I appreciate her honesty and pouring out her emotions in her yelps, screams and voice changes. I saw her in a small club and she was so emotional and was fighting so many demons, but it was a very beautiful and gut wrenching evening. I applaud Meg for her uniqueness.

      If you understand astrological symbolism and that Meg has Libra Sun with Scorpio Moon conjunct Scorpio Venus, and then earlier Scorpio Pluto conjunct Scorpio Mercury...well, I'd say you encapsulated that combo pretty well. An interesting mix of vulnerability, raw emotion, sensitivity, and some edgy anger/resentment.

    So, I had to thank my grown 24 yr.old daughter , yet again , after watching this early morning.
    My baby girl showed me this remarkable and gifted young woman , 5 or so yrs. ago. I'm very open minded and have raised my children to love and appreciate all kinds of genres of music.
    However, she's one of my little gems that I keep returning too time and time again.
    So visceral and raw! Every single word that flows from her mouth to my ears, seems to magically connect to my inner being.
    Thank you again "Sweet Girl!"

      I don’t hear emotion or see it in this performance at all. I hear a amazing singer who knows her vocal tonalities and how to switch it up… I see her thinking and concentrating on how navigate her vocals. I don’t see any emotions behind her eyes while singing, it’s like a robot talking and singing, but a robot that knows how to sound emotion, but lacks it true pure emotion. Emotion is in the eyes and she is devoid of it. It’s odd. It’s compelling because of it.

That person that comes out to protect me and that person that comes out to fight my demons. Ita really hard to explain. Its both insanely vulnerable and hyper defensive. The deepest parts of me that are really scary and difficult to express. I love her music so much and it helped me through so much. She is truly unique ❤❤

    From personal experience many people cant get passed a few songs of Meg's without saying they dislike it or its not for them . However, great music isn't necessarily instant gratification and nor should it be. If you listen to her music you will hopefully "get it" and get where she is singing from. In my humble opinion Meg is one of only a few artists in the last 10 years that actually matter. She is, as is her music, simply awesome.

    It's always interesting sharing her music with friends and showing them how she is performing live and how they're weirded out, but as a singer, the way you move is crucial to how you sound, and it's so cool to me that she uses her movements to create her own sound and to also express herself and just let it all out.

    I just discovered this treasure going on 3 weeks ago now and became an instant huge fan! Her cover of running up that hill popped up in my YT feed, and I love that song so I gave it a listen, and Meg floored me! The best cover of that song I ever heard! And that voice!! So naturally I checked out her channel and I loved everything she had done and I went to iTunes and bought it all! And found that her voice is super addictive! I have been playing her music on a loop for hours everyday while I’m driving (I’m a truck driver) even if I only plan on listening to one song, I just get pulled back in and next thing I know all the songs have played through and the loop is restarting! I’m 51, and have enjoyed 100’s of artists, 1000’s of songs and of course have had lots of absolute favourite singers, and dear little Meg has destroyed them all! As I read in another comment here, she has a multi facetted voice like she has more than one working in harmony! I just got to this video so its the first I have heard doing a live stripped down show, and just fell deeper in love with voice! She literally gave me goosebumps!

    Meg is one of my favorites. This live isn’t healthy or kind of something that brings happy smile to the listeners. But there is definitely a musical beauty. I love her and feel sad to see many dislikes😖

    • @gWINneth
      @gWINneth 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The dislikes are/were from people who have experienced a once loved one with BPD. They're naturally terrible people and she seems to be one of them. They're hidden from all but those who've met them.

    I can't get enough of Meg. I suffer from BPD, and it comes with such crazy emotions and thinking. I'm not saying that is what she has, but when I hear Meg's lyrics and how she sings, I feel like there is someone out there who understands the dark depths of emotions and the mind that most never experience. I really hope to see her live one day and bathe in the energy she produces.
