almost as beautiful as the lyrics is the undulating rhythm of the piano notes...one of the most hypnotic songs

@Thynga3006 check out the song on songmeanings . net .....there's a lot of good ideas there

@dearmissedessa We can assume a harlot/prostitute's child does not know who the "Father" is or is not loved/cared for by the "Father"...so perhaps the harlot's child = a non-believer, or someone who feels God has not been there for them...just my interpretation anyway.

@AHeartLikeDavids I think "He" refers to the aforementioned heretic - heretic obviously being someone who is at odds with generally accepted ideas/religion. We can assume a harlot/prostitute's child does not know who the "Father" is or is not loved/cared for by the "Father"...so perhaps the harlot's child = a non-believer, or someone who feels God has not been there for them...just my interpretation anyway.

she deserves more credit and fame than she gets



I've just rediscovered Natalie Merchant the independent singer song writer and just wish she would visit England, soon. This song is moving and majestic in the way it merges Natalies soul sesarching lyrics and the atmospeheric, haunting guitar, piano and strings. The day she mixed this song, she was clearly on fire! I like the fact also that she sticks to her artistic aims, to sing true and eschew the instant need for pop culture acclaim. Her songs are gems with beauty, wisdom + a great voice.

Its funny how the mind represses memories even good ones..at least for me. Then the music unlocks them all and the flood gates open...it's almost surreal.Many memories from this record and the time it came out. The song and her voice are mesmerizing..thanks for posting!!
