Honestly, 25-30 years later...she's a musical Goddess...one of the best ever

Natalie is such a free spirit and full of joy.

This may be one of the most beautiful songs ever performed

Watching her dance brings me to tears and warms my soul. The world needs more of this vibe...

Hippie ... freedom

Absolutely HOOKED on this song, what a true classic. And I ❤️ that drummer...😊

I used to hear her on the radio in the 80’s and 90’s. OMG… I am speechless watching this beautiful amazing free spirit…. especially when she lets loose with her dancing. I had no idea.

Before my Moms passed away, they had a commercial that played this every time I hear this, I cry 😢. 2020. She passed in 2022.

Here again! Just LOVE Love her and this video.... I play it over and over and over and over.....and over Makes my Heart sing and my soul so happy. In these days of darkness.....she shines the light and provides hope!!!!

I remember listening to this song when it came out and I was hardly into light music, but shit is So GENIUS ❤

She is one of a kind. Her song writing is thoughtful and her voice is so warm.

She's perfect, I fall asleep almost every night listening to her recently. Her voice is so soothing! Take care!

Just a natural beauty with an incredible voice!!!!! Love Natalie Merchant!!!!!

No Natalie, thank YOU for all the great music and memories!

After all these years (Decades) I still can't get enough of her. An Absolute Treasure!

I heard 1st graders are singing this generously humble song to their departing teacher at an assembly this morning . I got to hear just 2 of my grand kids rehearsal and it choked me up can’t imagine 30 voices thanking their teacher , she’ll be a basket case for sure.

❤LOVE YOU, NATALIE FOR YOUR LYRICS, BEAUTIFUL VOICE, & YOUR SWEETNESS. I COULD BINGE LISTEN THIS DEEPLY MEANINGFUL SONG❤ YOU ARE THE BEST ❤

I play this at least once a day..love that hippie dance

Every time an artist performs a song it's a little different each time especially when it's live this is such a great song and such a great performance and a beautiful venue I probably watch this 100 times and brings tears to my eyes every time .

This incredible moment in time is for you💗

I much admire Natalie Merchant for her awesome talent as well as her strength of character.

Of course, I listen to this every so often. It's Natalie Merchant for whatever sake.

Absolutely adorable! My soul explodes when I watch this performance. Thank YOU Natalie!

My how time flys, but then there are certain people that transcend. I fall in love everytime I watch this. We r older only in time. I'm just a young hippie when I watch this, I wanna thank you..

I am sure this is about a guy, but all I can think of is my mother. Thank you, mom! Happy mother's day!

Amazing songs and voice, a beautiful spirit. I’ve listened to her music over and over, makes me feel free and peaceful.

You have uncommonly good taste for a guy, check out Ephraim Lewis sometime, he had just 1 album before a tragic death in '93, but his music and his gift has haunted me for some 30 years

Amazing talent and spirit

Only love, virtuoso. Genius.

Greatest stage dancer ever

Lol, it's just me... U r as great a joy today, as u were then. Natalie Merchant, u have helped make My life complete

Top 10 live performer of all time, beautiful energy!!!

U r so welcome.. love u Nat

I love Natalie, awesome new album. I’ve been listening to her since “Trouble Me”. I love Ophelia and 2014, I’ve given her a thrashing. Awesome lyricist ❤

This is the best performance of this song on KZread. Most rockin, and most heartfelt. Natalie is at her most relaxed, but see how she twists her hair while spouting German to an audience member? How she paces back and forth across the stage like a caged creature?That's part of what makes her so interesting. She really is the kind, feeling person who wrote those lyrics, and is not entirely comfortable on a stage
