Natalie Merchant is just an incredible beautiful soul. Thankful she shared and is sharing her gifts . Her music touches a lot of peoples journeys on many ,many levels.

[@zigmanferdinand]

She is amazing

[@daviddickerson495]

I have long admired Natalie Merchant as an artist, but getting this small glimpse of the person that is the artist has taken that admiration to another level. The world is better not only for her gift of music she has given us, but simply being the person she is.

It has been a really, really long time since I've cried this hard... this hard out of love. I'm so glad I watched this. ❤

[@tracyloudenclos877]

After my Miracle child was born with serious medical issues she grew up to be a strong, beautiful and very special person. She is now 34 and a mother of a 10 year old daughter Coppa my beautiful granddaughter. This song has been her song since the day she was born and I took her to see Natalie Merchant in Reno Nevada when she was not even 10 years old and had to sit on my lap even though we had very close seats. She absolutely loved it and not only that has been a beautiful singer ever since! I would love for her to tour again!

[@kerrimcateer4371]

The story of my daughter. So soothing to my soul. Thanks, Natalie

Amen

[@judebareilles4615]

Natalie Merchant is truly a "Wonder" in and of her self. Her music tells life's bold and honest stories. This gifted song writer doesn't shy away from subjects that most avoid. Instead, she dives into then. Thank you Natalie Merchant for helping us to listen and understand.

This song has always stirred my feelings, but I never knew the story behind it. Hardcore feels. I'm crying. Thank you! The songwriter is a special woman for sure.

[@OdeeOz]

It is impossible, in mere words, for my wife and I to thank you enough, for having written, and given us this song of Love & Hope for all children. When we first heard it, I looked at my wife, and small children, and said this song, and Natalie Merchant are destined for Honor, and Recognition long after she has gone. 💯👍👏😢

[@mgmassey174]

Oh my. Tears unbidden roll down my old face as i listen to this.❤ Bless

[@pcdm43145]

Always loved this song, and had no idea 'til today, that it's also become an anthem for special-needs people/families, but it seems obvious, now. And, not gonna lie--- when Nancy Daly said that Kate & Kelly had died... man, that part still hurt.

Why did we never see this before? It really is a great story

[@martynclark5290]

This is why I think Natalie is simply rhe best. Writes beautifully with insightful lyrics and a real concern for the world, the dispossessed and those without a voice. Love her to bits

[@jankyme]

after watching this it's like hearing the song for the first time

[@frostysunflower07]

Never have I known exactly what this song was about. Always loved this song and yes I’m a severe non verbal autism Mom and I see the frustration in my sons face. But everyday he amazes me with things he can do.

Star Gazer Absolute, This soul she has glows with such powerful rays - you can see it when she moves to the beat, its hers alone - ultilmate class & magic, it's impossible to not melt your soul to submission. How Fortunate She's shared all these years, and so darn lucky to be here, alive.

[@noproblem2big337]

I had a crush on Natalie since "in my tribe" came out, great voice...best wishes from Melbourne down under 😍

[@agentadvocate]

This song meant so much to me and my mother being a sick kid born 3 months premature in the 1990's. Thank you for that gift. I'm so happy so many other people have seen so much light in Wonder. x

[@noahalfalfamabersellix9925]

I've been a Fan of Natalie Merchant since her Hit "It just can't Last" back in the year 2000, without Knowing anything about her, Her voice captivated me For Life! Love and Admire this New Yorker NATALIE MERCHANT!

[@lizh6421]

This is such a beautiful story!

[@KaraLey98]

I heard this song for the first time only one half hour ago! Upon reading the lyrics, I knew that it was not just another song to round out a record album. I was pretty sure it was dedicated to people in this life who are important and yet who need help to make it to adulthood, and also to those who may not make it. I wish I had started l listening to Nat YEARS ago!! Brava, Natalie!!!!

I don’t know how I stumbled upon this today, but I’m so glad I did. I had no idea what this song was about. What an incredible person and amazing artist Natalie is.

Such a beautiful and heartfelt video. Thank you, Natalie, for all the gifts you have given us over the years. You truly are a treasure! Blessings to you and yours!

[@Neecee615]

Thank you Natalie, I really feel like you wrote this song just for me! Oddly enough it came out at the same time I was released from the hospital in 1995, due to paralysis from a medical malpractice surgery. Still suffering from permanent nerve damage I plan on putting my story on my channel soon.

[@brianlawley5117]

Wow! Just Wow! Thank you so much for being you! We need more of you in this world.

what a wonderful person natalie is.....

[@kikoarmani]

Omg new found meaning to this song

[@k24skin]

The Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson movie "Wonder" was released 2 weeks after this video was uploaded to KZbin...That movie was one of the first movies that my autistic son and I had watched together that had dealt with bullying in school, after watching he actually opened up to us about his issues of being labeled different by his school mates, always sitting alone at lunch, not having any friends and also about his own realization of what autism meant to him but, we reassured him that he was special to us and that he was our "Wonder", and just then my wife popped in her Tigerlily CD and she played her favorite song "Wonder" for him, because I mean he really was a "Wonder" with what all that he has overcome with being born premature with a facial deformity and then getting his autism diagnosis at 4 years old and having recently dealt with mental illness in his teens but, none of these things have stopped him from growing up and graduating high school (in 2 weeks), he's loved so much by us so, I just want to thank you for all of your music as it has truly inspired and moved us as a family :)

[@Ambargaby]

La verdad no sé que decir...la musica de Natalie me ha gustado mucho. Y la cancion de Wonder. Me parecía hermosa. Pero ahora que vi este video, me doy cuenta que la musica consuela como dice Natalie. Pero también es la oportunidad que tiene el alma para tocar otras personas. Mi profesión es ser arqueólogo. Y trabajo en Teotihuacan. Siempre he querido ayudar a las personas con capacidades diferentes. Ojalá y yo tenga la oportunidad de hacer un proyecto arquitectónico para ayudar a que las personas con habilidades diferentes puedan visitar éstas ruinas. Y este proyecto lo voy a intentar con el impulso que Natalie me dio, cuando escucho esta canción. Thanks Natalie.

I am the monster that is immune to these stories, this melody, is the whole point, a monster of the craft. I love U just for this, and the plight of others is substantial, but, musically I am so impressed. Natalie is a true entity. Natalie is a force.

[@leslierogers2447]

How much this song means to my community and myself cannot be fathomed. Sitting in the hospital with my daughter this song came to me. I live in the US and Mallinckrodt raised the price of my daughters seizure medication ACTH for her treatable syndrome from $40 a vial to $34,500. This gouging led to treatment delays and my daughter was left with CP, tube fed and suction dependent. I wish over the years the disease was the only thing we had to fight and not the constant medical bill threat to our family. Thankfully the state I live in now has a Medicaid waiver to support her that is effective.
