For some reason, I can never remember Natalie Merchant's name. It's one of those things that's on the tip of my tongue, but right when I think it's about to roll off of it, it's gone and I have to resort to saying things like "she has a really distinct voice, name starts with an 'N' or...maybe a 'P'" until somebody guesses it. But I'd know her voice anywhere. Not only is it beautiful, but my dad listened to 10,000 Maniacs all my growing up, and he always said how much he loved her voice. So it's sort of a nostalgic connection I have with her, as well as just straight loving her songs/singing. I've been listening through her album Tigerlily, which is awesome. And that's where the song of the day comes from.
Seven Years - Natalie Merchant
Do yourself a favor and listen to the whole thing.
