Review about Natalie Merchant songs
Tattoo | Reviewer: Lara
------ About the song My Skin performed by Natalie MerchantI have I'm a slow dying flower the frost killing hour sweet turning sour and untouchable tattoo'd.
To me the lyrics represent depression that has taken hold over a person life.
Good message of hope | Reviewer: PR
------ About the song Wonder performed by Natalie MerchantI love this song and it inspired me through my challenges with my brain tumor, my stroke, and the recurrence of my brain tumor. Sometimes, we just need to hear to right words to feel less alone.
An Eternal Gulf | Reviewer: Paul
------ About the song The Gulf Of Araby performed by Natalie MerchantThe song touches us so powerfully, regardless of our particular circumstances, because we all wistfully face that unbridgeable gulf between what is and what we wish for but can never have. I am reminded of Harry Chapin's lyrics "sometimes thinking bout what might have been, sometimes thinking 'just as well'"
Aileen Wuernos | Reviewer: Deidre
------ About the song Carnival performed by Natalie MerchantAileen was a survivor although she was a product of severe physical and emotional abuse from a very tender age. Living in a wrecked car in the snow in woods at the age of 13. All she needed in her life was love, support and trust but instead she was betrayed and made a mockery of. Her life story is a tragedy and whatever she did wrong, is because of her circumstances..... May Aileen rest in peace as well as her victims and their families. This should be a wake-up call to our present society with it's children and youth at risk because of their current circumstances.....
"Well put ... excellent interpretation and descriptions" ... | Reviewer: El Cuervo
------ About the song Carnival performed by Natalie MerchantAs we all go through life, it seems this marvelous singer/song writer has captured what a lot of us see, feel, experience, ponder ... the list just goes on.
So, it seems we all go through "trials" ... yet as we "realize" introspective moments, it's good to know we are not alone in questioning "the why's" of this life.
But, PLEASE, ALWAYS remember & DON'T EVER forget ... hang on, keep the faith (whatever you believe in) ... don't give up, we should try to look for the good in each day.
"Every day is a GOOD day; Some are just better than others ..."
screwed | Reviewer: Tracy
------ About the song Carnival performed by Natalie MerchantRIP Aileen, this song was fittin for her. Society screwed her and nobody would believe her b/c of her background, just push her aside...she was literally screwed over by dirty cops all for the all mighty dollar...un fuckin real...this pisses me off and am glad the truth is out...she is now free!!!
Old soldiers never die | Reviewer: Mrs I Schuster
------ About the song Motherland performed by Natalie MerchantThis song, in conjunction with the film "Warhorse" is full of longings for a better world; and brings with it memories of my father, who was takaen off the field in the first war in a shroud - but lived...he talked little of of the battle, but how he loved his horse, Bessie, and every time I get with horses I want to cry because he is still so fresh in my mind.
reading between the lines i guess | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song My Skin performed by Natalie MerchantI somehow think that i may be about a relationship where the woman is realizing maybe her husband is cheating, and she questions why she is done like this. She obviously love him, and questions why he doing this to me. She asked herself " am i not beautiful, am i getting old, am i getting ugly to him, why can i keep him, why wont he love me, why wont he make love to me anymore" then she tries to make herself believe that she does not need him to move on,but she realizes that she loves him, and it hurts her very badly. Like many people that get cheated on they ask what did i do wrong, or whats wrong with me. Maybe she questions if her body is wrong with her. She feels untouchable because she might feel ugly, and also because her husband might not cherish her like he once did. She is coping with the feeling of sadness and and betrayal but trying to figure out how to love him. He might even still tell her he loves her, but those are just words. He makes sweet promises but probably does not follow them up. this is such a sad song but a beautiful one.

Aileen W documentary | Reviewer: Jeannine
------ About the song Carnival performed by Natalie MerchantJust as James mentioned below, I also just watched the same documentary and was interested in the lyrics. I just keyed in a few words of the song in a google search and it brought me here. My heart goes out to Aileen and the victims and their families.
