Natalie Merchant - Big Girls (feat. Abena Koomson-Davis) (Official Video)

Natalie is like Mother Earth to me. So maternal. So compassionate. Look at her songs over the years. She writes about what no one is writing about. I have never heard this other singer but she’s incredible and their voices blend beautifully.
From Wonder, people with mental disabilities, to What’s the Matter Here about child abuse, to Trouble Me which I’ve shared with my mom. Such a caring soul.

This so inspirational! Your duet team is beautiful and spreads peace , comfort, and joy

OMG I love this singer she is so amazing!!!

Some songs of 10000 maniacs an 'Carnival' were my company when I started to recover from a hard drug addiction in 2007. I became christian after been in prision in 2016-17 now have peace and joy not like the World understand it, it's in my heart. Nice to hear this song. God bless you Natalie, and all who read this thing

Merchant is one of my favorite singer songwriter.

You Girls are Beautiful. Please don't hide from us. We need You Both.

Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you ❤🙏

Natalie Merchant did not age well. Now she's going along with this fat girl pride. What a joke.

Natalie is one of the best lyricists I've ever enjoyed listening to. THANK YOU for so many years of beautiful music. And Abena, thank you as well

She’s so damn good.

I was lucky enough to see her in the Royal Albert Hall about 40 yrs ago. What an amazing voice and presence she had then, not to mention those songs - Don’t talk, Peace Train etc. I can see she had grown gracefully and that voice is still amazing. Looking forward to discovering her new material.

I can't go on. I can''t hold on. I did before, and i held on and survived. I can do it again. I will hold on. I am holding on.

Beautiful song. I love your songs Natalie.

She makes me cry every time I see her, sadly never live

She's beautiful inside and out, her inner light shines so bright! One can only embrace love through her songs and my being psychic,this is wonderful to experience on all levels!

This doesn’t sound right.

Keeping everything locked up isn’t strength. Women - and men- are already sold that lie & it leads to illness addiction inability to connect to others and suicide.

Not feeling or pretending not to care is not strength. Being able to feel life fully and charge through with courage, that’s strength.

Being able to accept yourself your feelings and not being afraid to express yourself and fight for what you believe.

Keeping everything stuffed up is super outdated and toxic. This surprised me as normally Natalie is very insightful.

This song sounded like women are weak victims who the most they can how to do is pretend to feel ok. Which is already the sexist trope we live with from outdated thinkers. And is equally harmful to men bc they too are told to be detached.

This is like a “ you are just as good as a man in the worst way when it’s not even a real trait it’s a non trait.

Crying is not something everyone is even snide to do and it has many health benefits .

Shaming feelings is not it. that gives your power away..If you let ppl shame you you will never good your own dignity. I can’t imagine what possessed her to write this.

I kept expecting the twist at the end where ppl are strong and human. Oh well.

😊I need this right now. For days this song will be on repeat

Simply amazing telent, GIFTED!!

Angels 😇

I know this song has been composed from a feminine perspective, but I hope no one minds that it soothes the soul of a man too. I know the perspectives are not the same (men being a little more privileged even in the most worst case), but somehow the lyrics appeal to a man as much cos life doesn't care when it wants to be really cruel with someone, woman or man.

really spectacular album

The most meaningful song ever ❤️

Sua voz me traz uma paz e vontade de sorrir. Obrigado Natalie.

Rediscovering the shy, hip, cute . . .and oh what a voice. . . . .Much love ❤. . . Hey Jack Kerouac.......

Powerful voices.

Natalie's voice is still a marvel but her song writing on this album seems to have devolved into cliches and tired metaphors. Still, we're lucky to have her.

Oh, the Beauty. Oh, the Beauty.

I always loved her music She is a in a league of her own !

❤

Thank you so much for this music.

Hopefully natalie comes back to glasgow soon, beautiful lyrics

Damn 👏👏👏

What a fantastic song. Such beautiful voices.

TRUMP! 2024

Gorgeous!!

Natalie reminds me of Maynard James Keenan. She is set apart from any other musician, unique, mesmerizing and timeless.
The 90's were the best imo.

Wow...Absolutely beautiful...and Powerful.💗

Beautiful….

Thank you Natalie for sharing your remarkable gifts all these years. Both singers sound absolutely beautiful together.

work of art

I have always loved her. Im from near where shes from. Her voice is still great
