Wonder - Natalie Merchant - 1996

[@laurayany9534]

My mom used to tell me this was my song. I was born 3 months premature and ended up having a brain hemorrhage and getting Cerebral Palsy as a result. I didn't really understand why she was telling me this was my song until recently. Here I am, with spastic Diplegic CP & halfway to nursing school with a 93.4% score on my entrance test. I'm going to be a NICU nurse :) "This child will be able"

​@stricknine8623 a couple things: 1. NO, it was not just this song. Listen to Jen on Carnival, among others 2. "Underrated" literally refers to how the public rates you, not how musicians rate you. Musicians have always rated extremely talented people that were undersold by the mainstream media/critics much higher than the mainstream. When people say Jen is underrated, what they're saying is people will put Kurt Cobain as one of the best guitarists of the 90's, yet won't even recognize Jen in the top 100, which she OBVIOUSLY deserves to be

This song was on the air waves alot but I didnt realize how beautiful of a song it really is until now. I saw 10,000 maniacs opening up for REM in 1986 and I didnt have a clue who 10,000 maniacs or Natalie Merchant were. I guess I did take her for granted. Sorry Natalie.

[@EshockT]

This video changed everything for me. I never paid attention to the songwriting on this album, the guitar work of a 22 year old phenom and her tasteful rhythm section. Turner's guitar is mixed so high in this mix. Every note serves the song. Tone's in her fingers. The lyrics of this song served as an anthem for families dealing with birth defects. This is high art and I missed it at the time. Let's make it right. Natalie's got a new album out that is gorgeous and lush. I hope Jen finds a vehicle to become KZbin famous as well. Next level.

[@JamisenEtzel1]

[@amb3cog]

Just frikkin EPIC! Brings tears to my eyes it's so beautiful. Not to mention this aired at a time where I was going from one of the worst times of my life. To a run of almost 5 years straight that was the best years of my life. Until I decided to drink again one night. It's okay though. I've been sober for a few years now. Damn lucky to be alive though. Many of my friends aren't, including my best friend who I grew up with. Died of a heroin (more likely Fentanyl of course) OD a month, or so before I decided to quit myself. But thank God for music, and my audiophile hobby. Now instead of spending all my money on drugs, and being miserable. I have thousands of dollars worth of audio gear I play with, and feel like a kid again. Reliving all the great times I've had through music, and just keeping at peace in general because of the music. And no TV for me, it just makes me angry to see where the world is at. But that's okay, there's still a lot of really good people in it. So there's always a chance we'll get back to something good again. God Bless you all. ✌️

I remember when I saw this very show on TV. I was in Sweden for work. I didn’t know Natalie Merchant songs before. Next morning I bought Tigerlilly and then all of her albums…

This was the song that was playing the very moment I was expecting my daughter. She's now going to be 20 in February. She's in second year pre-law at a top Canadian university. She's expecting my grandson in April. She is continuing her studies in summer intersession and we are all very proud of her.

I've probably watched this 50 times. I loved 10,000 maniacs since In my Tribe, and always loved every solo Natalie Merchant song. This is one of my favorite performances.
