MOTHERLAND is a collection of twelve new and original songs. Renowned for her stylistically eclectic albums, Merchant forges ahead with MOTHERLAND, moving in exciting new directions both musically and thematically. This latest offering covers more diverse emotional and intellectual territory than any release in Merchant's career, now two decades in progress. "Creating a sequence for the songs on this album was a big challenge and I hope that I performed a successful balancing act. I've never written songs more overtly political or so intimately personal before." Merchant's core band of More... (Submit New Natalie Merchant Lyrics) (Submit New Natalie Merchant Lyrics) I have a different take | Reviewer: Greg ------ About the song Kind and Generous performed by Natalie Merchant I saw Natalie at a concert at Wolftrap quite a few years back. She was uneasy and awkward on the stage at times and yet she was magnificent. I felt like I knew her for the a beautiful, complex human being that she is. The poetic bitterness and nostalgia in the lyrics and the music makes me think that she is the person that wishes that she was thanked for doing something she has done for someone else. At the same time she recognizes her own vanity and weakness for expecting the praise that she never got. I know that it's possible that other people do selfless acts of kindness and generosity but it's so rare. There are very few people capable of the kindness like Natalie is so I think she is talking about herself in a self-deprecating way. Not realizing that she exposing the beauty and the vulnerability of her own being. It's possible that I'm just projecting. Beautiful and Dark | Reviewer: Tristan ------ About the song My Skin performed by Natalie Merchant I heard this song on Youtube whilst looking up other Natalie Merchant songs. It is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, even though it is so dark. Talking about her failing relationship and her depression associated with that... so powerful. And when she finally gets the courage to leave him in the end, it is like he is dead to her... Truly one of the greatest songs of all time. Beautiful song. | Reviewer: Bex ------ About the song My Skin performed by Natalie Merchant I also watched this on a Snape/Lily video and was saddened to find Youtube had now deleted the video for some reason. I thought that deleting it was harsh as it was such a waste of an amazing video and the song is beautfiful. I love the lyrics, they're so true to many and people and her voice is excellent, its rather powerful and yet soft at the same time. She sounds quite bitter but it gives the song the perfect effect. For a very special lady..THANK YOU | Reviewer: Chris Broubalow ------ About the song Kind and Generous performed by Natalie Merchant I saw Natalie perform this tune in Bethlehem, PA a few years ago. Although I love Natalie, I was there to see Dylan. 7th row center and I walked out a few hours later with my mind completely blown. I never thought I could ever get through the past few years in one piece. I did. I never thought I'd want to say what these words actually mean to anyone. My friend, Marisa. Words won't ever say enough...but this is damned close. THANK YOU! All Development Must be Questioned | Reviewer: AUNTY DEVELOPMENT ------ About the song Motherland performed by Natalie Merchant This song is one that questions where we are going. With nature dissappearing and concrete taking ovewr the planet what will we leave for futire generations. Good to see opposing side to big business. It's refreshing to hear a song load with lyrics thathave meaning other than most of today's popular artists that are obsessed with their own id trhat they don't even see the world around them. Angola | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Carnival performed by Natalie Merchant Staying in Lunada was a great opportunity but at the same time a lot of depression existed, but I will never forget the people there and the poverty in which the children had to live with, which reminded me of my youth before computer games where anything found in the street would do, and thereby the children had a Carnival - I heard this song there for the first time and have many great memories of it since ........ my skin | Reviewer: Veronica.holm ------ About the song My Skin performed by Natalie Merchant love this song...! maybe its about live but i think it describes anorexia... ive had it for over 2 years and the text describes how it feels... once again love it! A tribute to a beautiful being and to a magnificent artist... | Reviewer: Laurel ------ About the song Kind and Generous performed by Natalie Merchant I have known this song for quite some time. I have always loved it. Though I have never felt the intensity regarding expression of thanks. I do now. These last few years have been a time of great difficulty, that's a bit of an understatement, 'sheer hell' maybe is a better phrase. A very beautiful person came into my life. Maybe an 'angel on earth.' He saw me floundering, made a choice to help. I believe he literally saved my life. The depth of feeling I have for his kindness knows no bounds. This song, says what is in my heart so beautifully, tears ran down my face...Thank you Natalie, and greatest of admiration, thanks and love to my dear friend. I don't know if he knows how significant his caring, his interest, how much an impact he has made... on me, my children, those I touch... thank you... Sent this song by a friend | Reviewer: Sarah ------ About the song Kind and Generous performed by Natalie Merchant I was sent this song by a friend..and thought it was beautiful but i needed to check all the lyrics. She is very shy and couldnt say everything she wanted and said this song said everything she couldnt. These Are GreaT | Reviewer: Alexus ------ About the song Children Go Where I Send Thee performed by Natalie Merchant Thanks so much ive been looking for these lyrics for the longest time.

It really got to me. Kind and Generous | Reviewer: Deborah ------ About the song Kind and Generous performed by Natalie Merchant My daughter requested this song for the dance with my husband, her step-father, at her wedding reception two weeks ago. This is the first chance I had to truly read the words and get their meaning and her message to Gary. He has been there through thick and thin for her, marrying into our family when my daughter was 15 1/2 and I was undergoing breast cancer treatments and a subsequent mastectomy. He kept our family together, guided her and her brother when they launched into the world after high school and college graduation and still helps them every step of the way in their young lives. This song was perfect for the message she chose to send to Gary - he will cry when I give him the printed lyrics this evening as he did when he was surprised by the special dance she requested at the wedding reception. Gary is truly KIND and GENEROUS and has been the backbone for our little family for nearly 12 years! God bless him and all step-dads who choose to make a difference in the lives of those children who are not their own, and select to become true part of the lives of those families and those children! Deborah Untouchable | Reviewer: Untouchable ------ About the song My Skin performed by Natalie Merchant This song has more meaning behind it than the obvious. After 32 years with the Love of My Life, I have become untouchable! I love this song and was shocked when I found it. How could one feel this way and not feel bittersweet, for the love she had and the love she is loosing! It has been 4 years since the sweetness was here but the promises continue to be spoken. Where will we end? Just a Beautiful Song and Sentiment | Reviewer: Tim ------ About the song Kind and Generous performed by Natalie Merchant I heard this song last week on internet radio while I was working. It captivated me. I downloaded it off of I-tunes. A day later my grandmother went into hospice and died a few days later. This song has been playing in my head and heart and on my computer ever since. We should try to say the things in this song to the people we love and cherish while they are still with us.
