Beautiful

It's a famous poem, "Spring and Fall" by Gerard Manley Hopkins! I had no idea that she put this into song, wow. This is my favorite poem.
-
Possibly the most moving lyric and song Natalie has ever performed -- and that's saying something, given her repertoire.

Natalie your the best

WOW, this song is very hard for her to sing. She didn't sing it at the chicago show. Because every concert she does she is so in the moment its understandable why its hard to get through this song.

We love you Natalie!

The first time I heard this song I just started sobbing. I don't know why, but it always moves me to a place of pure, honest emotion.
This song was just waiting in the firmament for the right moment to be brought into existence. It was destined to be written. And I think part of the weight it carries, beyond the emotion in the lyrics themselves, is the tension of having waited so long for someone to find it and bring it to life.
Thank God for Natalie. That's all I can say.

It was very emotional when she started to cry. I guess Kate and Kelly, whom she dedicated the new album to, must have been on her mind. Bless them. Bless you, Natalie.
