Natalie Merchant- Seven Years

[TheALGAYDA]

So beautiful

[blomssub]

Perfect!!!!

[waislandres]

Damn Natalie has a good voice and, what an ear for music. I've been a fan of hers for ten years have all of her CD's and, am always amazed how Natalie delivers. Can only hope her band members keep the Natalie musical spirit, this one amazing artist.

[lysergicdancing]

When this album came out,I don't think any album since Sgt. Pepper spent more time getting played. It ripped my heart out at times but also showed me a path I hadn't always followed.......my beautiful wife.

[TheAwayhere]

it's perfect song!

[knowcomment66]

Tigerlily is one of the best ever ! absolutley haunting and beautifull... It's one of the few you can listen to from start to finish, over and over and just gets better and better

[jeffthrow6892]

Well I just got this CD out for a listen for the first time in years.........& I was immediately reminded of why I loved it so much when it came out! "Tigerlily" is just excellent from start to finish, an absolutely timeless album.......

[darkstreetdave]

What a great song. Love when Jennifer Turner comes in with those great fuzzed-out guitar lines. What an underrated player.

[PJH1961]

Great song, hits me hard, what a fool I was !!!



[nesrinerenist]

I love this song!

[fletcherarc]

You know what makes Natalie so damn sexy...she has such a beautiful soul. When ever I need to feel better I just put on some of her music and pretend she is singing to me.

[shroomerspizza]

Carly Simon.

[brettplum]

yeap, agree with all of the above. Today's music is ludicrous, dull, repetitive and lacks real substance. Thank God I was born in the late 50s. Ummm, maybe I will write a song with that as the theme........

[dorajean1]

I love Her And Her Music so much I can really relate to it. LOVE YOU NATALIE WHERE ARE YOU TODAY ?? COME BACK PLease! I Love YoU!

[tobysgusto]

One of my all time favorite songs. One I could really relate to at the time I bought this album!

[osane0001]

si las cantará al español perdería muchísima calidad, o sino ver ejemplos de cantantes en ingles cuyas canciones al español son terriblemente malas para la crítica

[pachi2202]

Ojala usted pudiera algun día interpretar sus hermosa musica .."al Español

[beannaichte123]

-Natilie Merchant brings a special quality of wholeness to her music. She is a true gem , in the world of music!

[neckarsulme]

This woman is the epitome of class,grace and talent packaged in a person whose soul seems so pure and without limits....I love you Natalie!

[sfclipper]

Natalie is an outstanding artisit.  The song "Seven Years" reminds me

of my relatoionship with my first boyfriend.

[seriesscratch]

@sfclipper

Reminds me of mine with my ex-fiance.

[alphie20]

Added to favourites! So beautiful! I feel honey coated butterflies in my stomach when I hear this song.

[tpot91]

i lover her voice but not a fan of her music

[Natural8Mystic]

id like to sentence the 4 idiots who clicked "dislike" to Seven Years in stupidity prison, no chance of parole.

[barriesansom]

Natalie is a true talent,...Ophelia takes me back to happy times and love....'Break your heart ' is my personal fav track, and moves me everytime ( check out the live version on utube, awesome! ) thanks.BarrieBlue ; )

[lotuy1974]

i started listening to natalie since 1992 ..i still love listening to her..lotuy of philippines

[EdgeHead8806]

I was blessed enough to see her live in concert when I was 13 years old. I went with my mom.. And this song came on and the entire crowd went silent and most of us cried.. Ive been to many more concerts since then But it was amazing to hear this song start and every one fell silent.. That is the kind of impact she has. You just want to see her and listen to her sing. Take in her words and enjoy yourself.

[faerfurrow]

Stunning; she leaves me speechless every time.

[iweweewg]

Everytime I get to know a Natalie Merchant song I slowly realize that I have longed for these words for a long time. 

[99dangerman]

I'm with TheeEdman, Massive Metal head who occasionaly listens to Kate Bush, Natalie Merchant etc... 'Tigerlily' a personal fav - But don't forget ManOwar - Kings of Metal.

[jerryrigging]

Again, thank you for this post, made my day, what of the best singers in the world, and also her instrumentalists are wonderful

[Cassandramichelle602]

Wow. She is unbelievably talented. I've never heard anything this beautiful..

[dazzle359]

Natalie got me through a very lonely time. She is wonderful.

Tiger lily ..........love it, can't find that casette now. It's been yrs, didn't know where she went, lost the casette, and then just tonight was pleasantly reminded by my first born son .......who just discovered her...........wow 

[SDMFAnthony01]

@dazzle359 TRY ebay dear...i always find rare stuff there...and keep googling and searching.....

[mikemik712]

tigerlilly is one of my favorite 10 albums of all time

[AubMar]

Incredible Artist...

Many Thanks

[fowlrod]

Great song!! its been years since I have listen to her.. Flashbacks..All Good...Healing=)))

[45greyowl]

She is a prophet. That's her secret.

[randyhdsftl]

Now that we've lived life let us hear the conclusion of the matter. Deep calls onto deep with Natalie.

[MJJ1Redd]

TheeEdman1....very well said. Completely agree.

[Bullydogairsoft]

2 people have no taste in music.

[elleJify]

dedicated to Trav Sea. you were were loved very much for more than 7 yrs

[XXrealpopoXX]

sometimes it's best to be on the low profile or be the rare one... for me she's like a singing fairy from the deepest enchanted forest.

[thelostboy2001]

Her voice is haunting. From 10,000 maniacs to Motherland, Natalie is one of a kind.

[Godofa2chance]

Soooo Beautiful! Peaceful

[PaulCange]

sometimes you forget to look back for answers. When all along they were with you the whole time you just needed a reminder

[mick001983]

She is a small following ... for she makes us feel what it is to be human and fell the feelings we should feel about our selves and each other ...... and most of the world does not want to feel that ,,,,,,,,, and trhe is was makes he unique and great //// my opinion .......

[momdigs2]

Natalie Merchant and Norah Jones are the best.

[ROEEKYFUL]

these song makes me cry a river

[DramaDon83]

Its 8am on this Sunday morning and Natalies lovely voice is so sweet to listen to..thank you for placing her song here..

[melissacvcc]

Natalie is the best!!!!!!!

[hoorayforpeepeee]

cant belive i have never heard of her thank god for youtube

[frogsmooches]

@hoorayforpeepeee shes on tour right now too, go check her out.

[lah53007]

she's amazing, my mom used to put natalie's music to her belly when she was pregnant with me, back in the early 90's when she was with 10,000 maniacs. I grew up with her music around through the good and the bad, her music has gotten me through alot. i just saw her in boston a month ago and it was such a moving show

[RayenMalal]

@lah53007 Que bonito lo que has puesto de la Natalie y que genial tu madre al ponerte su música en el vientre; que fortuna has tenido de verla en vivo y en directo; me encantaría poder verla alguna vez, saludos desde Islas Canarias y a seguir disfrutando de la buena música.

[dancristina]

so much inher music ,,shesaved mylife

[kaz6836]

She is amazing! I don't understand why she isn't celebrated as much as she should be. Her voice breaks me everytime!

[DolphinMona]

@kaz6836 I agree kaz! She blows me away! Breaks me to tears.

[tricky3967]

i saw her live 5 years ago and i was blown away, not what i expected, an believeble gig!

[Kaydee815]

I have always loved this song. Would LOVE to perform it sometime, but I know I could never sing it as well as Natalie.

[caesar7277]

Am I gay for loving this song?

[PuppyClark65]

@caesar7277 yes but its okay!

[normsfletcher]

@caesar7277 Nah, it just means you have good taste!

[darealdd1]

I love her and her music because you can tell she is a perfectionist in everything she does.

[195511SM]

I remember the very first time I ever saw her. The 10,000 Maniacs first appearance on SNL. "Like The Weather"......Natalie doing the crazy "chicken" dance...is how I described it. We were up partyin', and for some reason, when they came on....the room fell silent & our mouths fell open. Who were these guys? I think the only other band that did that to me the first time I saw/heard them was The Corrs...on their first SNL. Saw Natalie solo a few years ago, Very nice!

[kaifeather]

Beautiful

[LincTexPilot]

"Tigerlily" is the only CD I have bought multiple times over the years. I think I have bought it six or seven times now.

[PuppyClark65]

@LincTexPilot Buy Ophelia at least that many times. Motherland, too.

[nanakay2112]

I needed to hear her tonite, having rough time in my life right now thank you natalie

[lkeibkele]

Four months ago I broke up with my beautiful angel after seven awesome years. I hear this song and everything inside me just hurts. :(

[jordanz1613]

This is my favorite CD and has been for a long time. She's amazing. I love her voice and her songs are so great/

[jewlsSmiles2]

I agree she is the most wonderful and amazing artist ever !!! i just cant ever get enough of her voice and her words...her songs have many heart felt words that have described how my life has been and i just get swollowed up in her music i always have ever since 10,000 maniacs...To you Natalie...I raise my glass and bow.

[arktrux]

love her voice!

[spendmoregetless]

I love Natalie's voice and her songs. I even like her dancing

[Anonnynonny]

@spendmoregetless

I especially love her dancing!  ;)

[ReinaAntilles]

A great song to belt out in the shower. Sorry to my neighbors!

[squirtlewa]

Her recordings are arranged masterfully.

She's Very enjoyable live, too

[ANNA00732]

to ajmusicgirl; great taste. thankx

[onepinkrose]

Another cracking song from a true artist... PINK and these modern day so-called female ARTISTS have throngs of songwriters behind them pushing their meaningless drivel worldwide. It's criminal. Natalie is true talent, not some fabricated claptrap. Apologies if I'm sounding like a old bastard, it just angers me. In these modern music times praise is dished out to the wrong people ... that's what I think anyway... toodle-pip

[DerJensemann84]

@onepinkrose

U know Pink is writing most of their songs on her own?

Obviously you don't!

Stop judging if u don't know a thing about an artist!

[MrArtudtoo]

@ DerJensemann84 Du hast es gut gesagt, I agree, much of Pink's music is under-rated, she has a lot of talent and many of her songs do have meaning

[SergeantPepper27]

The keyword in that sentence is "most"...

[SergeantPepper27]

@ DerJensemann84

[ANNA00732]

aint that the truth. the first time i heard her sing in 1965 i cried

[AtticDoll88]

@ANNA00732 1965 or 1995?

[teec19]

@onepinkrose Nope, you're dead on.. she write's her own stuff, and then performs it like an angel..

[mooredaver]

@onepinkrose

You are clueless.  Natalie Merchant & Madonna are the best female artists of the 90's. I am not a pop guy so Madonna is a miss. Natalie has the greatest voice of all time for a chick. Beautiful mix of bules and dave matthews. Great female artist. Get a grip man. take your meds.

[mattsamudio]

@mooredaver ... please don't forget Stevie Nicks ... I love them her and Natalie both :)

[cammicty]

@onepinkrose AMEN!!!!! ENOUGH SAID!!!

[fosterale]

One of the most underappreciated female 'artists' out there. She's an artist not an entertainer... huge difference.

[melissaparenteau13]

no one can make a cover. theres no comparison

[haruch]

Sisteriswisdom

[jackieloven123]

cant understand a word she's saying...what's this song about? and i really do not like it by the way

[MrArtudtoo]

it's about somebody being betrayed by the person they totally loved

[ANNA00732]

no one can sing pain like her. shes the best

[Martel1946]

@jackieloven123 It's about rainbows and teddy bears and unicorns living in a perfect world where everyone is happily in love all the time and no one is ever thrown out with the garbage.

You could actually listen to the song like other people do in order to understand the lyrics, but where's the originality in that, right? Besides, you don't like it and there's no point in wasting your precious time learning why, right?

[ANNA00732]

@Martel1946 NEVER NEVER INSULT NATALIE MERCHANT

[Martel1946]

@ANNA00732 I didn't. You might read the comment from the individual to whom I replied.

[Agruvchic]

Will someone with some talent PLEASE post a cover to this song on Youtube? I know that is a botard request, but....

[PauleQueenie]

GooD Day

[haruch]

Everything She Sings Is Novation....

[ANGELBLU2042]

She's amazing, and an Amnesty person, so she get's my vote. Have always loved her voice and style.

[smalltounboy]

What a album, thank f*ck she's still touring and I have a ticket

[husker666]

love classical music too but always loved natalies voice....it just ,moves me....loved 10'000 maniacs as well!

[melissaparenteau13]

ive listened to this since it came out. i used 2 be into hardcore music too. my christian friend bonnie once told me liten to this cd, she handed it 2 me when i was like 19 and it stayed in my place 4 like 2 mionths and when i listened 2 it i loved it

[Greekviolin]

TheeEdman1, I agree. I generally listen to classical, with some heavy metal, but her music is one of a kind. I generally forget about her, but when I hear her music, I wonder how I could have forgotten.

[Teofila22]

I have forgotten how much I miss this CD. I have lost it.. Time time to buy it again!! Excellent artist!! I love You!!

[JJ042271]

Live and learn.......

[djdeprez1]

Natalie has been the voice of beauty for the last 2 decades...I have been so privileged to be able to listen to her amazing voice and soulful lyrics

[ksm1968]

The best revenge is knowing you are cheating on HER too!

[mythras1978]

She is such a great singer, this is not the music i normally listen to but her voice does something..

I love it :)

[smoothfishy]

Love this girl, chilling out listening to Natalie, all good. Wish I could see her live.

[TheeEdman1]

I cant believe that Natalie has only gotten 88,000 hits....... She has to be one of the most amazing artist of all times, original and deffinately 1 of a kind, and this is coming from a dude that mainly listens to slipknot, metallica, linkin park, mudvayne, xcape the fate, bring me the horizon, AIC, etc. Come on people.... enjoy this cause you'll never hear anything else in your lifetime like this.

[templar44]

Man, I am right there with you...I can't believe what a talented and unique voice she is...I usually listen to hard rock and metal and this is just too beautiful and really just haunting to ignore...

[husker666]

thee u speak the truth mate.her voice is amazing.

[ANNA00732]

@TheeEdman1 TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN

[sheltondk43]

@TheeEdman1 I love her too.

[normsfletcher]

@TheeEdman1 much imitated but not equalled!

[sprintcarz51]

@TheeEdman1 Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They wont!!

[1293chazz]

@TheeEdman1 ha, man i agree, i listin to lamb of god and pantera haha

[goldie1102]

@TheeEdman1 because she dosent walk around with telephones on her head and she is so real and raw that people dont want o face the truth of thier life

[EvilTeddyy]

@TheeEdman1 Yeah.. I listen to most of what you said and even Hardstyle, trance and dubstep? And this.. it just gets to me, it's amazing. :D

[mmccallcrew]

@TheeEdman1

WOW I too love those bands and love Natlie just as much, that is exactly why you are right in saying she is one of the most amazing talents of all time.

In the middle 90's I took my wife to see Megadeth , later that year my wife now is 7 months pregnant & we saw Natalie.It was perfect,because the crowd had a great time at an amazing show, all without anyone standing up in front of my wife during the concert.So lucky to be able to enjoy both kinds of music equally, ha ha weirdo

[azureking69213]

@TheeEdman1 Hey, man, Grunge ere is Grunge era. There were a lot of great artists that didn't fit the genre, but came out at the same time. Bands like Blind Melon, Sublime, Alanis, Veruca Salt, Counting Crows... you get the point. It was that golden time in my generation when pop music was actually worth listening to. There wasn't a period like that since the late 60's. Natalie by far is one of my favorites, and I like most of the bands you listed and could ad bands like Acid Bath n Soulfly

[ladysarah3000]

i love this song me and my mom listen to this song and sing together i love you mommy your amazing mommy........

[tyncia90]

special song... So true...

[emopina]

this is one of my best song

[magitha11]

whoa, the memories this song brings...

[rita751]

Beautiful words, full of lingering pain and hurt, so true..

[Zuzuzzpetalzz]

The passion of a song can speak to us even if we don't precisely relate. i have always loved this song and have a son who recently turned 7 who loves this song more than ever because to him, his age is mentioned.

[theslayer22]

this song really helps me concentrate

[haydenzdaddy]

I am particularly fond of, "I might forget you but not forgive".

[zedrein18]

@haydenzdaddy You must've been hurt before.

[travlynn08]

My wife...it was 9 years; sorry babe

[arianderl]

Sehnsucht in Worten...

[Lieblingssorte]

Ja, ich glaube das kommt dem am nächsten...

Her music so is... actually I can't really discribe it in words, but I love it :-)

[LoricusY4]

Natalie Merchant one of my best :D

[army1981]

simply amazing!!! love her passion...

[LayJayLG]

This song is wonderfull! =D

[fulls787]

how did i love you, there was no measuring...so wholly your devotee...damn, you betrayer, how you lied. (been there but never again.)

really excellent song. thanks for posting it.

[schap711]

If Weird Al was to make a pardoy of this one, would it be "Seven Beers"? Just kidding; this was one of my favorites on Tigerlilly. I'm surprised it wasn't a single.

[boydevil66]

I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet..

[barikanteaM]

nice song..i luv it!! :)

[daphadila]

Seven Years...

[SenorMatthew]

Met my dad 7 years ago, great song.,

[colliges]

I Love her...she is awesome in concert as well...Same voice, Same sound...that is true talent. Haven't heard a song I didn't like by her.

[YellowBuzzle]

I love her voice O___O

[leunamgt08]

buena cancion, no solo la cancion sino como la interpreta, que sentimiento!

[stefgm2008]

This song so brings back memories.

[monoceros1222]

Thanks a lot!! Love Ms. Merchant but don't recall this one!

[braddavis2]

Love Jennifer's guitar work on this song ... SO SOULFUL .. pure emotional ecstacy

[Candyann22]

I always loved Natalie. Who knew this would become a song of meaning to me. This is my life exactly. 1/2 a year ago I left that cheating SOB. I guess he never really got over his previous ex. She was good enough to run around with, but never left me for her. But I still found out. Fucking asshole.

[Candyann22]

I forgot to say, it was 7 years for me, obviously and exactly. I had given him my everything and took without giving.

[lysee35]

YES GIRL DUDES DONT GET IT!!!!

[lisahawks08]

So sorry for your pain!!! Glad you are still amongst us!!!

[poeticinjustice13]

Thank you! Very Kind of you to post your comment. Blessings 2 u

[psychwardsally]

i made offerings of anything and everything i had . . .ouch!

[lysee35]

this song reminds me of my sons dad (ex of course) but she took the words right out of my brain!

[jinxred]

wow I love this song....plain and simple.

thats how I keep it now. No Drama

[satchman1965]

The piano and violin in this song and in "my skin" kill me. I could listen to her music all day.

[DeborahCam]

Love This CD!! X X X

[ndgarcia2]

this is trully an awesome CD where EVERY song is great....i mean EVERY song....its increadible......i have bought it more than 4 times......i keep giving it away to friends

[houfam]

I COMPLETELY agree with you! God, each song gets into my very soul. I don't feel this strongly about any other artist of any kind. She is the one person who would render me star-struck in her presence.

[superhairgirl]

I agree with MUSIKSF Natalie ....your music toches the depthes of my heart. There is not one song that I can't relate to.

She will always be the #1 woman singer to me.

[becyx]

i guess i tried to hard.. im sorry ben.

[Storolf]

wow, first time hearing this song, and Natalie Merchant rocks! I don't know what's more impressive; how she sings these songs, or that she writes them.

[poeticjustice074]

yup she rocks! this is one of her best songs, a very powerful one. beloved wife is great as well. hey, everything about natalie is great. sadly, singers/songwriters today, as i see it, no longer give premium to good lyrics, melody and simplicity.

[lysee35]

reminds me of ten years ago...not good memories but i love the song!

[wilsparky]

Time will make it fade...it never goes away and we both know that, but it stops hurting so much.

[0KG0Fan]

beautiful song

[morrisol1000]

mrm, you have your distance, you'll have it

forever now...

There's nothing left to say...

[MUSIKSF]

Natalie...your musik touches my soul, luv ya!

[Anke4012]

Eine Stimme wie eine Seele!!!

Ich habe sie 1991 das erste Mal gehört und sie ist seit dem die Stimme meiner Seele!
