I love Natalie Merchant and her incredible voice. She needs her own thread....

I first learned about this amazing voice through the Ten Club forum during my lurking years (2004-2010). I love the song called My Beloved Wife. Actually now that I'm thinking it again, Tigerlily is a masterpiece in its entirety.

You would have to send in the song that makes me burst into tears....

Those "old time" couples had a love that lasted a lifetime, - I'm not so sure about this generation.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry. I just want to see you smile! You are so beautiful when you smile! :P Like in your avatar's picture. I just wanted to share with you quality music and one of my favourite Natalie Merchant's song. I have also shed some tears while I was listening to this song. Most of the times though, I have goosebumps. As far as your last statement is concerned, I couldn't agree more with you. Every time I listen to My Beloved Wife, I remember my late grandmother who stopped caring about herself after she lost her husband (my grandfather). She used to say that now that I'm lost my man I'm all alone. I have nothing left in the world for me. I want to die so I will be able to meet him up in the sky. Unfortunately, we lost her 10 years after my late grandfather passed away. But, it wasn't true because she had her children (including my father) and her grandchildren (including me) to help her to go through that. But, you probably already know that when you love someone and you loose him/her nothing in the whole world can replace him/her.

Thank you for the beautiful words.... I'm smiling now....

I have a similer story with my grandparents from my dads side. My grandfather died exactly a year later on the "same" day his wife died. He lived to be 90 yrs old when he died ( in his sleep ). My grandmother was 86 yrs old. She fell and broke her hip. She just never recovered.

My family is from Palermo, Italy ( I hope I'm spelling that right )

Seven Years....
http://youtu.be/sMpA5DrS8aQ


How did I love you?
There was no measuring
Far above this dirty world
Far above everything
In your tower over it
You were clean

So warm and insightful
Were you in my eyes
I was sure the rightful
Guardian of my life
Damn you betrayer
How you lied

But for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns
Around you feet ....

For seven years
I bowed down
To touch the ground
So wholly your devotee ....

You were
All that I could see ....

I've got my sight now
I see everything you hid
So don't you try to right now
All the wrong you did
I might forget you
But not forgive

But for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns
Around your feet

For seven years
I bowed down
To touch the ground
So wholly your devotee

For seven years
You were so revered
I made offerings of
Anything and everything I had

You were
All that I could see ...
