Natalie Merchant-Kind And Generous

[voltaman33]

My Grandma is leaving...I want to thank you!!!

[codywaynelouis]

micheal scott leaving.. <3

[sclock2]

@atsstockburn I like to think of u ass a complete ass clown who actually thinks the video has any meaning when it's just random shit and she's singing Fack you over and over again. Probably a message to all u morons who think the song has some deep meaning.

[stargroove4]

@sclock2 It is people like you who will never be able to see the order in chaos.

this is why LSD, Shrooms, Salvia, Datura, etc will always be a far reach for you.

Sure, you can poison yourself with them, but even those given the Key don't know how to turn it.

If you can't enjoy random scenes from a reconstructed circus, then you are doomed.

[sclock2]

I want to.. Fack you Fack you, Fack you Fack you, Fack you Fack you! Fack you Fack you!!

[HannaColasurdoBrah]

@sclock2  DOUCHE

[TakingChances14]

ahh my favorite song i the world :) singing it for my schools talent show

[starMEkitten17]

I heard this song so much and I heard Nat and the maniacs but damn it took me forever to figure out this was nat merchant solo!! ^_______^

[WestcoastMusicals]

I love this song,it's perfect and heavenly.

[smurfornge]

Thank you Mike n' Ike, thank you THANK YOU Smart-AYS!!!!!!!!

[joehesh]

I think the next batch of female vocalist have stepped up and they are all from England.

[markesqable]

49 people are not kind and generous.

[anarchist316]

Thank you

[MrRoostyr]

My aunt Misty said this girl sucks. I love the family but screw her.

[tommy9922]

The 90's were great for talented female vocalists and songwriters. We got Natalie Merchant, Sarah McLachlan, the Corrs, Fiona Apple, Erykah Badu, Enya, Paula Cole, Sixpence None the Richer, the Cranberries, Tori Amos, Mazzy Star, and Bjork along with others. In this era, the best we can expect is the likes of Katy Perry with a smattering of an awful, pretentious crooner like Regina Spektor. We're truly living in the Dark Ages. When will the next batch of female wonders step up to the plate?

[Chrono86]

@tommy9922 The 2000s have had some great female acts as well, albeit mostly British from what I've seen. Kate Nash, Marina & The Diamonds, and Lily Allen just to name a few...

[elleisafreak]

DID YOU READ IT?

[elleisafreak]

I'll always love you AJK. yeah it's me cbell.

[ditttyKONG]

"Last night i went to the natalie merchant laser show" - zg

[MsCanyoudothecancan]

Who is the magicin? Does anyone know how I can find out his name? Thank you

[HardcoreJesus100]

Its quiet.....quiet as it gets. I once had an awkward moment. just to see what it felt like. I love this woman........

[markesqable]

Such a great song.

[BrandonWebbMusic]

Ahhhh the 90's !!!!!!!!!!! To be a kid again.

[joemchang]

Those costumes are a trip

[solar8914]

this song has been stuck in my head for fucking months then i typed in i wanna thank you for everything and it was the 3rd on the list... fml

[7miledopeboy]

iloved this shit ever since i was a kid

[greg55666]

All I can say is, che bocca!

[Garkleck]

She looks like Fran 

[8w9hf89hw]

Thank you for being a dumb cunt.

[ASADAAAAAAMA]

@8w9hf89hw SHAME ON YOU, PLEASE GO AWAY. SORRY FOR YOUR UNHAPPINESS. T.I.A.

[Zeuszgrl]

very nice beautiful well-done video !

[islandrocketman]

I will play this song at the funeral of my wife, instead of a eulogy

[stillnessinmovement]

@islandrocketman

an attitude of gratitude, even in the face of loss and death, opens the door for that love to become truly eternal.

better to celebrate something great, eh? even if it's finished.

I mean, I go to a good opera or play, when they are done, we all clap and say "thank you"...

[ASADAAAAAAMA]

THE SPIRIT MOVES, YOU THANK. I THANK YOU

[stillnessinmovement]

@ASADAAAAAAMA

Big Thanks to all and eveything!

[animascat]

@stillnessinmovement sounds reasonable in an abstract sort of way. keep it up.

[ktmggg]

@stillnessinmovement I've been struggling with some recent grief and your words are exactly what I needed to read. Thank you.

[ChrisFWebber2222]

LOVE HU!

[greg55666]

@ChrisFWebber2222 fuck hugh! hahahahaha!!!

[Katissuave]

A great song to listen to, especially when it gets close to the holidays. It's always positive to think of all the things you are thankful for.

[jaykay200809]

I think alot of peoples seriously over look artists like the Natalie Merchant's of the world, and more recently the Ingrid Michaelson's, and the Sara Bareilles of the world and favor more mainstream pop (Although Sara is more mainstream now than she was before, but has significantly much more natural talents than the Bieber's and Gaga's)

[billboardnumber1]

how many "thank you's" were mentioned in the song? can you count?

[Evan1709]

Hi Natalie!! Saw your performance with the Nashville Symphony!! Thank You for sharing your gift and transcending your passion and vision with us. Such a perfect night!! I am so Thankful:)

[xkillthechicken]

LMAO

[SuperScotch23]

A truly wonderful song by a really great human being! I think a ton of people out there need to listen to this,and Incorporate It's message!

Thank you nat!

[ktmggg]

shula198499 Thanks for posting this!

[shula198499]

@ktmggg You're very much welcome!

[Detonationsdetektor]

What a wonderful woman and human too...I love her.

[ktmggg]

Fall off the page....

[ktmggg]

And their little minds....

[ktmggg]

And little trolls...

[ktmggg]

Move on the page.....

[ktmggg]

Good feelings....

[ktmggg]

Happiness...

[frankman20]

Hahahaha oh nostalgia really just hit me just now. This song always puts the biggest smile on my face. Thank you Natalie Merchant and thank you 90s for bringing out some of the greatest music we have ever heard.

[SenorCajones]

@frankman20 I hope that hit from nostalgia knocked you on your fat ass, too.

[frankman20]

@SenorCajones Wait your name is Senor Cajones? Well enough said then.

[GeeMaster7]

is it her birthday? lol

[SenorCajones]

@GeeMaster7 Do you really care? Are you going to send her a belated card?

[danieltm3]

Why don't her videos ever have anything to do with the great lyrics to the song..

[atsstockburn]

@danieltm3

I like to think the video is about her memories of her childhood aspirationsof entertainer in a boat or circus or perhaps in a future reality a life's memories on a death bed. Whatever the reason great song.

[SenorCajones]

@atsstockburn you like to think a lot of things that aren't in line with truth or reality it seems.

[tafj1973]

@sarals17 Umm no....it's called "Kind & Generous." If you look at the track listing of her album Ophelia (where this song is from), there is no song called "Thank You."

[SenorCajones]

@sarals17 MORON

[ktmggg]

If your eyes are green I'll smother you in kisses! I love green eyes; they're my Kryptonite.

[SenorCajones]

@ktmggg You are once, twice, three times a loser.

[londonthistle]

[Theblobbyshow]

[SenorCajones]

@MJPAT2007 Go get a room and get it over with.

[MJPAT2007]

@MJPAT2007 They are sadly blue eyes:(

[missypoo77]

Such a generous song....

[hollydogrescue1]

LOVE this song....reminds me of Gram, totally lost in with alheimers.

[yanchily]

if i was 30 yrs older i would kick the ass of those 42 people who disliked this >:|

[dude2755]

Wow 90s miss that time ehh?

[stengl1021]

@dude2755 shutup.. Canadians, you cant live with um...

[stengl1021]

@dude2755 Canadians, you cant live with um... oh and they are eveywhere

[leesnoopyt]

One of my favorites! Makes me think of my Mom!

[boredmclovin]

i love you daddy, but mommy was always there

[SuperMegaMusicMaster]

aWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bradleyputman]

This song strikes me deep inside my soul. So many people didn't give up on me when I had given up on myself. God placed Angels in my path to help me get back on track.

[ntairaify]

great song

[OtakuuV97]

I remember this glorious song when, I was a little kid. it brings such beautiful meomiries.

[twistedskitty]

Please excuse passion, I've no intent offend- this is my prayer "Abba - You've been so kind & generous, giving me more than I can imagine, sometimes overwhelming me & I don't know why but You keep on giving. Divine Holy Spirit, never could I have come this far without you filling me, may my gratitude be evident, may I shine love & reflect respect for as long as I tarry here. Yeshua, bound by Your selflessness sacrifice, pressing ever forward heart, mind body & spirit in Glory til w.e. I am here.

[THEMACK85]

Back in the day I remember me and my cousin cracked up laughing at that clown in the end saying, "Thank you, Thank you" #weirdness LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[missboyd1000]

Goodbye Michael <3 haha

[crystalship42]

Beautiful song from a beautiful soul!!!

[theshortglide]

This is my gratitude song for my Creator.

[GypsySoulx]

@theshortglide that was an awesome comment :)

[Billie0410]

Natalie, I want to 'Thank You" for having the insight into true humanity. It speak's volume's for your soul sound's and "I'm bound to thank you for it,"

[celsiusstar]

i miss her stuff!

[brsmith0898]

I love Natalie Merchant! She has a fantastic voice that has endured for over 20 years, she's pretty, and has a kind and sensitive soul. Smoooch to you, Natalie!

[elcuervoserrano]

Como me gusta esta canción y el video es muy bueno.

[MrStevenStryker]

You can thank 'The Office' for this view.

[solidaridadglobal]

I just went to a remembrance event for Jack Layton, and someone sang this song in his memory. What a tremendous loss for Canada, and what a great song to commemorate someone who's given so much their entire life.

[wolfdream56]

What a positive song. We need more like this out on the radio today.

[friendtechno]

I want Natalie to be my merchant.

[checkmate777777]

thank u

[Bbundy09]

I hear this song at work all the time. Honestly, it didn't sound like she was saying "Thank You" so it caught my attention...like "How can they play that on the radio?!" but now I know the song and love it!

[audrinaINchains]

This video is awesome, and the song too.

[ddanrr]

Hey, the girl in the cannon, its Ophelia!

[tritan74]

Took me back to the 90's great song pre 911

[voltaman33]

Yeah he has had many jobs. Now he is a parole agent 2.

[voltaman33]

This song reminds me of my dad, "Papa Bean Garcia." He is a pure ball of positive light, willing to give and give as long as love and understanding are being expressed to him. (Along with his angel partner Heather, his beloved wife.) I am truly gracious for them......

[OHLeeRedux]

@voltaman33 I bet your dad picked a lot of lettuce in his day. Somebody's got to do it though.

[tosarge]

Thanks Jes

[HighOnHaley]

@tosarge hey I just now read what you said in the other video. and here I am. yw and I remember this song. beautiful voice.

[TheJohn0909]

her and ani defranco.. the best women indie singers ever

[morrisssey]

natalie ohh what a sweet voice..thats what angels must sound like.. thank you ( :

[EnigmaDrath]

I remember this song on the radio when I was a child. Hadn't heard it for years until one day a colleague of mine started humming and I couldn't help going, "OMG! I remember that song!" but neither of us could remember the words or who sang it. Spent the better part of the day searching online until I finally ended up here. Such a sweet song :)

[mizlipglos07]

LMAO. The only reason I came here was cause of The Office.

[lilineps1]

this song is what i want dream.but i've afraid. thank you natalie.

[HunterMann]

How nice to see the legendary Gene Pool in this video(he's the clown on the unicycle). He's a brilliant creator of things like The Grass Car, The Grass Suit, The Can Man, The Money Suit and more. Nice song Natalie, really a perfect video to match the song.

[SuperScotch23]

This song Is Beyond wonderful!!!! It makes me think of sooo many kind & awesome folks I have met & loved! It gives me gooswes bumps! How could you not love this tune! It too took me a long time to locate the cd. Soo grateful I have it now.

This song is soul fuel! Thank you,thank you!

[yankeechelle]

I think of you every time i hear this. Thank you for being you and don't ever change. I love you more and more every day!

[djtrixen]

We played this at my friend Fran's memorial this weekend... her birthday is tomorrow. She would have been 27.

[jazzsingerlady]

@djtrixen I'm so sorry for your loss... This is a beautiful song and I'm sure it was a lovely tribute. I know you'll always remember her... I'll pray for your continued healing.

[djtrixen]

@jazzsingerlady Thanks! :)

[jtsportster]

Wow at last. It seriously took me years to find this song, which I achieved today. I remember hearing this when I was 9 or 10 years old at the time it came out, I have always tried to find it but all I could remember was the la la la la la la la's so that made it pretty difficult. But I was in the Ingles today and heard the song Carnival by her and I was like: I KNOW thats the same girl singing so I searched her other songs and here I am... ;)

[ninedead]

oh man this brings back memories!!!!

[70zkidz]

I once heard a woman say her little girl thought she was singing, "vacuum, vacuum"!!! HA!

[boricua5770]

i love this song but that clown at the end of the video creeps me out.

[Jacquelyn104]

people don't like this song...wow smh.

[oogaeuripides]

your welcome already



[ASADAAAAAAMA]

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE LITTLE GIRL IN THIS VIDEO? WAS SHE REALLY CARNEY OR JUST SIMPLY A FIGURE? I ASK BECAUSE NATALIE SHOWS SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THIS BABY GIRL. WAS THIS AN IMAGE OF HER ONLY DAUGHTER OR A THOUGH OF AN IMAGE OF HER DAUGHTER??????

[MsDBlaize]

One of my clients dedicated this song to me in a thank you letter. Wow.

[JedahMA]

Who wants to go to the laser show with me?

[EdmontonOilersG35]

38 people are mean and cheap

[stew7479]

Really? How can people dislike this song?

[EnigmaDrath]

@stew7479

Probably people who are afraid of clowns :P

[Skedarking85]

@stew7479 Because they're not kind and generous. They're mostly just dumb.

[leoandwiz]

@stew7479 They're just La la la la lame! hahahahahahahahahaha :)

[stillnessinmovement]

@stew7479

well, 6 of em had childhood accidents at a circus, 12 of them are mortally afraid of people with facepaint, and 8 of them don't like it cause there's no METAL RIFFAGE going on. not sure about the rest, though...

:-)

[razibhai32]

The lyrics are so awesome :) :)

[realcoolmofo]

ohhhh god!!! I Love you Mr. Michael Scott!!! u sir have truly touched my heart and i hope you & Holly prosper in colorado!!!!u will be missed much more than these words can convey!!! could his final episode been any sadder??? oh and its not just you, natalie is smokin hottt!!!!

[spockles]

38 people need to get the gaga out of there ears

[thatscrazyable]

this song would have been so good for Oprah's last show, since soooo many people are thankful for it including me :) this song is also for my mom because I am sooo lucky and thankful everyday to have an amazingly kind, funny and smart mom like her. <3

[shoegal330000]

@thatscrazyable I completely agree. Although, when I hear this song, I think of that scene with Michael Scott from The Office leaving.. HAHA

"Well...the next time you see me, I'll be working for corporate... *press play button*"

[karmicpatterns1]

I don't understand why this video was remove from my watch later cue.

[justforgirlz]

my graduation song!!!!!

[tempofreak69]

She's a has-been. Never liked her voice and her attitude towards other artists was poor.

[PoLkAdOt14321]

i remmeber singing this song 3 years ago, when my grade all had to go to a different school, we sang it to all the teachers(:

[thekenibus01]

season 3, last episode when he was gonna take the corporate position in NY.

[morrisssey]

merchant have a go,remember no one loves us..

[jaybrymer]

i want to vacuum... vacuum...

[jaybrymer]

i want to vacuum... vacuum...

[wildathertmayan]

I want to thank my birth mom who was from El Salvador for her 'selflessness" for giving me up for adoption. I never knew you but I know you loved me and your decision to give me a better life, was the ultimate sacrifice. To my adopted Mom Barbara, I give you my admiration for choosing me at three months old and for loving me all of my 43 years. Life is not perfect, but Love is and I "thank you, thank you, thank you" both of Mothers.

[KJStokeman]

Totally my favorite song. Whenever I've had a knock-your-dick-in-the-dirt type of day, I play this tune and it really really really helps.



[shoegal330000]

Whenever I hear: "and I never would have come this far without you" I always think of my dad and my going to med school. If it wasn't for him, there is literally no way that I would be on my way to being a doctor.

[nosleepify]

To my mom Jackie,miss you.

[masercot]

I could live with her for the rest of my life, despite the fact that she is a dwarf. She'd have to sing me to sleep every night. But, in return I'd defend her from bears and what not...

[Mykal94]

Farewell Michael Scott. If you have any idea why I would comment this on this video, thumbs up. And I love you.

[MrLaughOutLoudComedy]

@Mykal94 I hate that he left. This song played when he was gonna leave the first time. I forgot what season it was. They should have played it on his last show.

[Mykal94]

@MrLaughOutLoudComedy I was hoping for it too. I thought they might do it but I'm not surprised they didn't. Definitely would have been a nice touch for the extremely die hard fans and The Office is sort of known for that kind of thing.

[nancyboy07]

@Mykal94 ive seen every episode of the office to date but i dont remember this from anything

[Mykal94]

@nancyboy07 From "The Job" when Michael leaves the office and believes that he is going to get the job in NY

[KyplayaZ4lyfe]

@Mykal94 which was on today!! =D

[tekon1994]

@Mykal94 LOL great episode

[samrossi1]

@Mykal94 "Good Night, and Good Luck"

LOL

[crystalship42]

@Mykal94 Man I was wishing to hit the 100 ;-D

[emeraldrubies]

I dedicate this song to my best friend/boyfriend/fiance :) He was always there for me during my last relationship. He helped me through all the pain I suffered and I thank him everyday :) This ones for you honey! :D

[psychnola]

I remember when I was a kid, I thought she was saying,

"I want to vacuum, vacuum,

Vacuum, vacuum,

Vacuum, vacuum..."

Did anybody else hear that?

Nice song regardless.

[trio3d]

@psychnola all i could recollect was "Thank You Thank you" which actually helped me find this song.

Vacuum Vacuum is a perfect parody. hehe

[kristenlusby22]

@psychnola Haha thank you! I thought I was the only one hearing it!

[BlueEyedAngel781]

brings back such beautiful memories :) <3

[azodyze]

this is a top 10 scariest videos to watch at night ............weird as fuck! though i still like the song but who the hell she thanking ?????

[azodyze]

this is a top 10 scariest videos to watch at night ............weird as fuck!

[SpeedLimit14]

1998 was a great year, also for music. Kind and Generous, Closing Time, All My Life, Torn, Save Tonight, Iris, etc. Man, screw this auto tuned disney pop,Radios refuse to play it thatnk god, but it is still so popular.

[OneCommunityTaiChi]
