Natalie Merchant - Wonder (1995) E. Rutherford, NJ

[spd13062]

Natalie Merchant is a wonder of God's own creation.

[Netguy09]

This is one of the BEST recordings of this performance..!

[jamminjeff8566]

Natalie, she is truly a "Wonder". Love her music, her personality, her style, she's got it all. And pciochetto, it;s not you, she looks radiant, absolutely beautiful...

[leolionsummer]

nope  she looks hot and I saw her live and she is astounding One of my favorite concert.

[pciochetto]

im a 42 year old man with a strong classic rock and roll backround. That being said im not embarrassed to say that ive always loved Tigerlilly. Im on my 2nd or 3rd copy by now. Its one of my 50 greatest albums ever and top tem female performances. When you take into account music, lyrics, and originality in performance, its really a no-brainer. My friend dont get it.....their loss. Also i hope i dont devalue this comment by adding...is it me, or does she look like super hot here?

My mother bought Tigerlily the week it came out. She still has that fuckin' CD. I celebrate it.

[MrNeomatrix99]

i believe in the glory that's your story

[1969ryson]

This is another one of those songs when you wonder how someone can give it a thumbs-down.I dont get it.If you like music, how could you not like this?

[kocean1]

Jennifer Turner is killing it on this song. Tone reminds me a little of one of the all time greats SRV-RIP brother.

[CreamedChannel]

know this child be able...

[isisdisis]

i had the joy of my life to hold a beautiful baby who was blessed. the child was born with downs syndrome. although this child was a boy i see no reason for difference. time has marched on since then, sleep in peace dear baby boy jonathan and play happily with the angels i will always remember you.

[jenstagner]

she's got nice child-rearing hips for sure

[schmirk2]

omg where can I find the full concert video to buy?

[markspeedy07]

Jennifer Turner is such a beautiful, bluesy and melodic guitar player. Natalie has a one of a kind voice. I'm so impressed with both of them.

[kar3636]

shes all about feeling her music and enjoys it.. shes very spiritual

[kar3636]

shes all about feeling her music and enjoys it.. shes ver spiritual

[seany722]

she looks like an older version of Demi Lovato

[dearmissedessa]

@seany722 not usually but in this video, yes she kind of does

[3kencloud]

I'm so heartened to read that so many besides myself are captivated by Jennifer Turner's guitar-just awesome, and I am a veteran of live concerts featuring Jimi, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Beatkles Stones, on and on. I've been obsessed w/ Turner since Carnival came out. What a talent, oh, and Natalie too.

[schmirk2]

@3kencloud I am obsessed and I just discovered Jennifer Turner yesterday while digging in to Natalie's legacy. I have watched a ton of Turner's stuff in the last day, much of it with the Lonely Astronauts. I'd love to see this concert video in its entirety or any other Turner performances I haven't heard of. Any ideas for me?

[3kencloud]

Ntalie is a great talentand so is Jennifer TURNER ON GUITAR!!

[dogstyle1106]

she is beautiful, and a great song

[lhbox83]

Turner's guitar kicks ass on this entire album. I wonder what happend to her. If she were around in the 70s a lot more people would know her name.

[aussieroddy]

Natalie's voice eand Jen's guitar were married for far too brief a period in time. A stellar but brief moment in musical history.

[aussieroddy]

Nats voice and Jen's guitar came together for far too brief a time. The combination was special and i am afraid neither will do anything that stellar again.

[devo133]

the guitarist is amazing

[alypaige88]

she's so amazing even after over 10 years she still blows me away...this takes me back! i grew up listening to natalie as a kid. my dad got me into her music. seeing this vid really reminds me of childhood. aw man. nostalgic for me. i was only maybe 8 years old or so when Tiger lily came out. i'm 21 now and i still think Natalie owns!!!

[kevoyhacer]

Hermosa , me caso con Natalie......

[JarOfMoMack]

Jennifer Turners guitar playing is simply epic. I trully miss the sound of that guitar weaving with Natalies voice.

[charmingasalways]

I love her voice. Amazing voice..

[scottg1968]

love this song an im a dude,but the real reason cause its my daughters song,she died 1998 so this is her song "holly's song"

[sartainja]

@scottg1968 I lost someone dear to me in 1998 as well. God bless you and heal your heart for the loss of your daughter. I hope this song heal your pain and endures your soul for the pain of life as it does mine.

The Women of my Dreams

[motocross282828]

Does anybody know what kind of guitar the lead guitarist has and who it is?

[smock66]

@motocross282828 jennifer turner

[marshallplexi3]

@motocross282828

looks like a PRS

[TheSeafood]

she is one of the wounders THAT GOD CREATED!!!!

[TheSeafood]

Nat ROCKS Just rememeber she does sound like it is all about NAT!!! But ask the question ?? Isn't it?? She is beautiful, loving,and gave us all a gift HER VOICE!!!!! and comments

[sararocs]

"Wonder" is often mistaken as a song about vanity or arrogance. In actuality, it is a song about a woman with a physical disability and a refreshing attitude: differences in her physical body are not handicaps or deformities, they are wonders, a term that implies magic, awe and beauty. The woman makes her way through life "gifted with love, with patience, and with faith."

[TheSeafood]

That is one of the best things I have seen written in a while!! GREAT JOB!!!

[bassnebula93]

Great Guitar player! Excellent sound and flow!...Kuods to Jennifer Turner!

[arcangel6]

ABSOFRIKKINLOUTELY!

[motocross282828]

do you know what kind of guitar Jennifer Turner plays?

[Maestrojosh87]

@motocross282828 I'm pretty sure it's a PRS guitar.

[bassnebula93]

@motocross282828 Heyt! I'm not sure but it looks like a Paul Reed Smith Guitar!

[taffyaspen]

again : natalie merchant, you always act as if you have some sort of special, amazing, voice. you do not, although you seem to think that you do. the quote , "don't be so humble, you're not that great", applys to you. ps - here are some truly talented woman singers who have said voices that are in truth special and amazing : grace slick. nancy wilson of heart. karen carpenter. janis joplin. gladys knight. etc. etc.

[raponte1955]

Again, this is a matter of personal taste...to me she has one of the most beautiful saddest voices ever...of course comparing her with either Janis of Gladys is not fair, since these ladies are in a far different and superior category

[TheSeafood]

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR HEAD UP YOUR ASS....Nancy Wilson of Heart will tell you your self ! I GREW UP WITH KAREN IN NEW HAVE CT!!! Leave her out of this on... Grace slick is that (SLICK) Gladys Knight different story. Now if you compare her to Stevie Nicks??? Now you are talking!!! The people you are comparing Nat to are a whole different thing!!! GET YOUR HEAD OUT YOUR ASS!!!!Listen to the music,the words,

[taffyaspen]

you're right; she / that voice should be compared to only singers of lesser -zeal? however, since she does seem to want to try on the rock and roll suit via her ambitious cover endeavors, -et al - then i certainly continue to find her style and work quite hypocritical and indeed indicative of someone rather deceptive and -i'm sure- appreciative of those who do not see through her "act" .

[t4twcps]

It is always amusing when people with little intelligence try to speak (or in this case type) above their ability. It comes out fractured and incoherent. In other words, it comes out taffyaspen-ish.

[mayarose354]

where's your commercial musical success?

[diverrboy]

looks like taffy's been dissin' natalie on a bunch of natalie videos. listen to her Ophelia CD. : ) SMILE!

[veritasrex66]

@weedusersince91 she is fuckin' awesome. that shit she's doing is not easy.

[LBjim]

She is s special. Talk about a beautiful human being,Natalie is it. She is truly a wonder.God Bless Her..

[LostFREEDOM]

@LBjim Goddam it i love her !! heals my soul

[pinkfloyd426]

Great song, and of course singer.

[bloodurine]

Beautiful on the inside and outside, I could watch her all day.

[mcmastersdan]

this is one of her best songs

[ddrose06]

i'm sorry, but the "real" wonders are the ones you never hear of. they don't see themselves as "wonders." this is a wonderful song, but she is a commercial wonder, and nothing else, that i can see.

[fillasa]

So to be clear, the song is not about her (Merchant). It was written by Merchant as a dedication to and recognition of the gifts and talents of special needs children.

[kithyoun]

Thanks for explaining what the song is about. I thought it was about an Indigo Child. I didn't see the bigger picture. I really love this song. Just amazing.

[diverrboy]

um. watch the original video for this song. and you will see what the message is about.

[ddrose06]

thank you for the reply. i thought my comment was removed long ago. fillasa set me straight some time ago. i mean, i can't see it right now. apparently you can't make an error around natalie's fanatics. although, you and fillasa are far more tolerant, and i appreciate that.

[ClivesCrew]

Who is Natalie's guitar player?

Beautiful performance all around by all involved.

[fillasa]

Jennifer Turner is the guitarist. Played on "Tigerlily" as well as on that tour...
