Natalie Merchant "Beloved Wife" Live at The Orpheum Theater 3-9-16 HD

[@DavidSmith-vb7gz]

I got Tigerlilly not long after my wife passed away to leukemia, after one perfect year of marriage. This song wrecked me, and I couldn’t believe Natalie captured my feelings so perfectly…. And still does, the years have eased the pain and beautiful memories remain, but I still at times have to revisit that agony…. An absolutely perfect encapsulation.

[@Redwyvern6395]

I lost the love of my life to multiple myeloma. From diagnosis to her death was about 6 months. I feel you. We weren't married by law but in mutual agreement. Gods I miss her. With every fiber of my being.

[@Redwyvern6395]

That voice. I love my ears listening to you. You're amazing.

[@SumDumGoi]

By far the saddest song ever to exist. Should go in to the Guinness book of world records for such. The pain can be felt even as a single man. And just the way Natalie sings it and lives it at the moment. I don't think anyone else can sing it and get the same affect.

[@linmolina5901]

Couldn't agree more.

[@janemcinnis5336]

This song makes me cry every single bloody time

[@carlossanchez6733]

Jane McInnis every. damn. time.

[@grendl74]

Every time I hear this song, all I can see is my grandfather the day my grandmother died. He was broken in a way I've never seen before and doubt I'll ever see again. It broke my heart.

[@jessesalisbury4249]

We should all be so lucky to have loved so greatly. May the the love in your heart ,fill the hole in your soul.

I lost a wonderful person 4 years ago... my mother - a warrior who battled cancer for almost 11 years. I put this beautifull song to for her listen and always she smile and ask me what this song means and I answered: It was talking about a beautiful declaration and demonstration of love, affection and respect between a beautiful couple - a beautiful couple like her and my father were. And even today I hear and cry, but it's a cry of joy, of examples, of good times beside a "beloved wife" I will play this song on my wedding day in honor of you "Dona Lolô" You miss so much...

[@G2mxrZ]

“River” gets me every time!

[@nickyshamrock3279]

And all the joy she gave to my life, goes with her tonight. Wow.

[@jasonmiradoli8900]

Nicky Shamrock best delivery of best line

[@morriganravenchild6613]

She is a unique and incredible performer who has lost non of her special magic desoite the passing years..

[@jasonmiradoli8900]

Intrinsic beauty improves with age, and oozes out of Natalie Merchant here. And the way she turns and marches up to the mic to sing, to grieve, to rage, “And all the joy she gave to my life...goes with her tonight.” Achingly beautiful.

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

This song makes me cry everytime! So Bella 🕯

[@williamgoldrick2341]

[@flyingnachos77]

If I had to chose one song of hers, this one would be it! Thanks for sharing this vid.

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

Yes 👏

[@jasonmiradoli8900]

I have been playing this and her live version of Verdi Cries daily since last week. Can’t decide.

[@johndean4727]

@@jasonmiradoli8900 don't stop.

[@jasonmiradoli8900]

john dean not at all...though I made a left at Kate bush for a bit, and then KZbin introduced me to phoebe Bridgers, killer, funeral, and her acoustic repertoire. But can never stop with Natalie, who is the perfect company during quarantine.

[@jermainemorris5733]

My brother introduced me to this song 20 something years ago and I am forever grateful.

[@gtues]

[@loosenukes8153]

Still great

[@adailsartori2701]

Voz maravilhosa.

[@Bolanboogie10]

SUPERB sorry for shouting.

[@chrisbarry7782]

She always looked like the kind of chick that looks normal but inside her head ,daffy duck, elmer fudd and bugs bunny are going at it 24-7

[@nialbradburn3851]

I adore her and her music, but am still bereft as to what happened between her "jealousy" video, and how she looks now......has she been huffing glue or something???

[@jackiesansavera]

Not many people are their 33 year old self at 55. She is fantastic.

[@maartenburger1]

You just had to throw that stupidity in didn't you? You are not worthy of this woman's genius and talent. We can all agree that Natalie would never leave such a heartless shallow and vain comment. BTW she is 55 so let her @#$%$#@% age will you!

[@westcoastwally1992]

Hit the road snowflake

[@djquick]

Age my man... age gets us all eventually.

[@nycnj6167]

HEY NIAL....I REALLY DON'T CARE FOR YOUR STUPID COMMENTS ABOUT NATALIE!! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL. CUT THE CRAP OR DEAL WITH ME....BOSTON, MA.
