Lyrics:
Take a look at my body,
look at my hands
there's so much here that I don't understand
Your face saving promises,
whispered like prayers
I don't need them.
Cuz I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long as if I'm becoming untouchable...
Well, contempt loves the silence
it thrives in the dark,
the fine winding tendrils that strangle the heart
They say that promises sweeten the blow
but I don't need them... no I don't need them.
I've been treated so wrong,
I've been treated so long as if I'm becoming untouchable
I'm a slow dying flower
I'm the frost killing hour
sweet turning sour
& untouchable.
ooh I need
the darkness,
the sweetness,
the sadness,
the weakness,
ooh I need this.
Need a lullabye,
a kiss goodnight,
angel, sweet love of my life
ooh I need this
I'm a slow dying flower
frost killing hour
the sweet turning sour
& untouchable
Do you remember the way that you touched me before,
all the trembling sweetness
I loved and adored...
Your face saving promises
whispered like prayers.
I don't need them.
I need the darkness,
the sweetness,
the sadness,
the weakness,
ooh I need this.
I need a lullabye
a kiss goodnight,
angel, sweet love of my life
ooh I need this
Well, is it dark enough,
can you see me?
do you want me?
can you reach me?
or I'm leaving...
you better shut your mouth
and hold your breath
you kiss me now,
you catch your death
oh I mean this...
oh I mean this... - Krátké a kreslené filmy
This song will forever speak with volumes to me. Anyone to struggles with depression feels this completely.
As a victim of domestic violence for 15 years I clung to this song, when I finally left I felt unlovable and untouchable ...it will always speak volumes to my heart and mind. 💔 ❤
Crying right now and sending hugs of empathy and sisterhood because this is my story as well. So glad you found your strength!
This song saved my life.
Think twice.
You are so loved.
You are so needed.
You are so much more.
Let yourself believe ❤
it's that one song I've been listening to for over 5 years but never had the courage to share with anyone else.
I understand how you feel.
if you look deep into this song, this video, you can see what you were, what you can be, what you are. you can see the beauty in sadness. when you realize all of us are nothing more than a place in this song, maybe we will start listening to each other, beyond politics and colors, is that still possible or do we die in the choice of arguments. i like to write, poetry, i only wish i could put words and sentences together like she does, truly beautiful
Well said. And no fuckin doubt. Beautiful.
Truly.
clicked this accidentally but WOW. I cant stop listening.
I did the same.
A very lucky accident. Have a listen to the rest of Natalie Merchant's 'Ophelia' album; a masterpiece.
By FAR, the most beautiful song I have EVER heard... The cello part at the end of the song is "perfect'' (for lack of a better word).
Have you heard ”at the beginning” by Donna lewis and Richard marx its better🌚 but this song is beautiful tho🥺
Eu tambem amo ouvir aquele violoncelo do final...💗
I first found this song in my early teens when I was going through a rough patch and I kept listening throughout the years anytime I felt alone. Because even though no one around me could understand what I was going through, at least this song existed and that was enough. Now years later as I’m sitting here writing this and on the verge of divorcing my husband, this song randomly appeared in my feed. It reminds me of all those times I felt alone but that i am not alone now because I have my son to motivate me to keep fighting. My child is my life now and I will do everything I possibly can so that he never feels like i did.
Wish you the best😢
When my Beloved Wife left me after 20yrs and two kids, this song became part of a special mix..."Need a Good Cry" and it would wreck me...but I needed it and would listen to it and others from the lovely Ms. Merchant, Sade, etc...This wondrous goddess walking the Earth as a Woman has a way of tearing me apart with her haunting voice and amazing music. Verde Cries, Beloved Wife, etc...💔
11 years still one of the best songs
This song speaks volumes to me. As a person who has lived through many difficulties in his life, and then to becoming a person who works with others to help better their lives; this song speaks of the struggles of life. It brings tears to my eyes, and pushes me to be the best person I can be to be a guide to others in their lives.
Yes yes yes X
Born on October 26, 1963, in Jamestown, New York. An INCREDABLE voice and songwriter of all time!
Flashbacks to my emo middle school self oh god
😂
dead ass i came here after facebook memories told me that i put it's lyrics as my status in 2012 LOL
@@NaraKwonPoD LMFAO THATS WHY I'm HERE TODAY TOO
lol
So sad, yet so beautiful. I love this song
This song still rips me to shreds. Knowing that it's about a woman dying of cancer and being rejected physically by her lover makes it even worse because it makes me think of what how much my mother hurt during her battle. ::sons::
how do u know its about that??
probably interviews from the singer. That's how I know the song Angel by Sarah McLachlan that gets used in the super depressing ASPCA animal abuse commercials is actually about heroin overdose and was inspired by when Sarah found out one of the members of Smashing Pumpkins overdosed alone in a hotel room and died.
The whole tone of the song sounds just like it would be about that too, thats talent to be able to write something so heartfelt it comes threw the speakers
It is so deep and heavy...Lot like life sometimes
@@alhernandez7582 true
I have skin cancer and am separated from my husband...this song fits. I wish he would hold me again.
I don't have cancer but i have a chronic mental illness and am also separated from my husband. He left me and i do miss him terribly :/
I know
Nat Merchant remains a voice to reckon with. Powerful lyrics to break your heart & dont forget she has a double bass & an oboe with her..excellent & forevever special. x
Caroline Anderton can you explain the talent more specifically how hard this is? Im just a curious amateur
Angelic
Haunting... one of the saddest and one of the most beautiful songs ever, at least my opinion
The girl I always wanted,the women I always needed. Life hurts but making something pretty is all we can hope for. Oh to be understood,oh just to be,oh I need this
This song resonated strongly with me. As a Man who has experienced some of what is portrayed in the song and video.... MOST people around me don't even know how to respond.
Natalie Merchant is a genius! One of the most recognizable BEAUTIFUL voices of all time! I miss you my Alan!
This song makes me cry 😢 😭 💔
This makes me feel sad every time I hear it , but I can't stop listening to it !!
I came here from Alias, Season 1 finale - the scene where Arvin Sloane confesses to his wife Emily that he's not the good man she thought he was, and has been deceiving her for many years. That scene was heartbreaking, with first-rate performances and this beautiful music playing.
Slingblade87 yes!!
That scene was incredibly powerful. Even more amazing to me was that it relied solely on facial expressions since we couldn't hear their dialogue.
Fun fact: I have the DVDs of all of the Alias seasons. There was a commentary track for the Season 1 finale featuring the entire main cast, and when this scene came up, Ron Rifkin asked, "Why is she wearing a shmata?". The entire cast, and me , immediately started cracking up.
I came here from Alias too. I'm currently rewatching it, hadn't seen this show in years. I forgot how much I love it!
Poor Emily and Diane.
one of the best songs of the 90s
Run away from love. It's taken a long, long time, to learn not to.
my sad life portrayed by a much more beautiful star. ugh. I am not even attractive enough to play myself in my downfall
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder be kinder to yourself you are a unique human being there will only ever be one of you...... x
^^^agreed, this song should let you know two things, there are millions who feel the way you do, and there are millions still left who im sure would appreciate you for who you are inside.....keep ur head up!
I hope this in this past year you woke up to your divine nature. No words can describe your true, unwavering beauty.
just found a video that even Natalie would approve of. You can see the effort put in and like the song dark and beautiful.
What a song. I've worshiped Natalie Merchant since the late eighties / early nineties. She is a goddess.I actually have a cassette tape (Google it) of 10,000 Maniacs from back in the day.
After almost 10 years, Im back here again. Gold!
This music video spoke to me so much I know exactly how she's feeling a lot of my actions are similar
My husband left me to be with another woman as I lay in bed ill from disease…He treated me like I was nothing because I was sick…This song is everything I’ve felt.
He was the disease
love the song since i was a kid when mom would play the album in the car
watched the movie because of this music video
really nice movie, love when she shouts "I am sick!!!!"
I just remembered this song as I was watching pole dancing videos so I looked it up. I remembered it because I remember how scewed my view on my body was in the past. I used to listen to this song and I could relate so much. Now I have healed through a few different ways, but one of them was pole dancing because it made me refocus the view of my body. I started thinking of how fantastic my body is and I wanted to see what it could do. Pole dancing has honestly changed my view on my body and I am actually touched to tears because I had an idea of making a pole dancing choreography to this song, because in a way it represents my growth, because the song represents my past but once I get more advanced at pole dancing the actual choreography will start to represent how my views of my body have changed from disgust to amazement at what my body can do.
Wow, I would love to see such a dance! Hope you're still considering it. Or done it :)
This song broke me ,i have a 2ft bungey cord made of snot hanging from my nose.R.I.P. melaney jayne bussey. Never forgotten.22/4/2013.
I've been looking for this song. I had this CD. Must get it again 🎵
I listened to this song so much at a really difficult pt in my life.
I'm now back here, and I guess that says all I need to.
Absopositively BEAUTIFUL.
Take a look at my body, look at my hands
There's so much here that I don't understand
Your face saving promises, whisper like prayers
And I don't need them
'Cause I've been treated so wrong, I've been cheated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable
Well, contempt loves the silence, it thrives in the dark
The fine winding tendrils that strangle the heart
They say that promises sweeten the blow
But I don't need them, no I don't need them
I've been treated so wrong, I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable
I'm a slow dying flower in the frost killing hour
Sweet turning sour and untouchable
Oh, I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh, I need this
Need a lullaby
A kiss goodnight
Angel, sweet love of my life
Oh, I need this
I'm a slow dying flower, frost killing hour
The sweet turning sour and untouchable
Do you remember the way that you touched me before
All the trembling sweetness, I loved and adored
Your face saving promises, whispered like prayers
I don't need them
I need the darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh, I need this
I need a lullaby
A kiss goodnight
Angel, sweet love of my life
Oh, I need this
Well, is it dark enough
Can you see me?
Do you want me?
Can you reach me?
Or I'm leaving
Then you shut your mouth
And hold your breath
You kiss me now
You catch your death
Oh, I mean this
Oh, I mean this

Every hand I've ever tried to hold😢💔
😭😭😭🖤💙💙🖤💙💙
I love you baby
Charlie silvers i love you too.... 🖤🖤💙💙🖤🖤💙💙
I love her for doing this.
This song fits me.
amazing. purely amazing.
Divine...Devastating
Love this song so much 🤩
Wow this video has actually Normal comments...What is going on..this is the only video that the comments are not disabled. Why do people have an issue with this woman and her music??? Look up all of her videos on youtube and the comments are all disabled in every single video!!!!!! I absolutely love her unique talent ..voice and music. Haters I guess
Deepthoughts Herenow I find her songs so beautiful... she use to have this same song in one of the movie based on true story of child abuse..somehow this video has disappeared but this song reminds me every time that story..brings the tears up every single time..
A lot of the negative comments are written by right wingers who do not like her politics, as she has campaigned for various (IMO) worthy causes, and written songs about protecting the environment, women and children's rights and generally standing up for the underdog. Then there are men of a similar age to myself, who remember her in her days as lead singer with 10000 Maniacs, and they lament the fact that she is no longer in her twenties; it is as though women in the music industry are not allowed to age. The fact is that Natalie Merchant is one of the finest ever singer-songwriters, and has kept her publishing rights, independance and integrity, and only ever releases high quality songs. Her voice has definitely changed over the years, but she still has one of the finest voices in popular music.
really beautiful...
When I hear this song I think about my mother who has cancer a doctor recently told her she won't live long. 😭
AGP fan sorry about your mom having cancer, my mom had the early stages of cancer. Your mom wants to go home and she will miss you so much. She will wait for you at the end of your road
I have always loved this song I never thought that I would be living this song, verbatim. well played Universe, well played
It has been a year since your comment, I hope all is well with you.
Amazing.
Sadness...🖤
What a heartbreaking song and video!
So much is conveyed in this song... and i sadly have learned that music, lyrics... this song... for all its sweetness/sadness when i first hear it ...will completely change its meaning and feelings... after a tragedy... it just does...
My past 😭
Heartbreaking......

Scream and cry out when we're in pain! Spirits will hear us and bring help.

I've got so much to live for... But even though I don't have cancer... I'm not disfigured... But I'm disgusting to my husband these almost 10 years. It's so difficult.
Atari Santos sounds like hes disgusting if thats true
shane nelson it's just how it is.
Atari Santos sorry to hear that, dont forget there are still some decent people in this world, alot of them battling in hard relationships....stay stong
shane nelson I've got my children and my teaching career...and a cute little dog. All is ok. :)
Atari Santos thats awesome! And good on ya for not letting it make ya give up, im married to my wife on year 13 with 3 kids, there were times when i was truely ugly and disgusting but we both stuck it out for our kids, and each other thank God....but damn it can be tuff esp when you feel neglected or unattractive.

AEONIX got me here 💕
musica da minha vida T-T
Dama Of Panda Uma vida com um trilha como esta deve estar um tanto triste. Depois de 4 meses que comentou isso, essa ainda continua sendo a sua musica ou mudou pra alguma estilo bruno mars 4kmagic?
everyone is talking about how this song touches their soul and how they watched it long ago. And yes, this song is lovely, But did no one come from the danganronpa amv?
hihihi i did
So sad..
Cutting.. Overdoses 😭 throwing up food throwing up pills
She's very sick. She's undergoing treatment that isnt working and she has lost beauty and her liver.
She's lost her lover because of her illnesses
I wish I could have cancer and I'm only 14 years old but I don't want to live anymore
I know I'm late but don't say this you are 14 you have endless chances many possibilities I hope you are doing well and I am sure if anything to you there is a lot of people around you who loves you and will miss you
My Heart Hurts With Tragic Memories. Please Make It Go Away. I Don't Want To Remember What Happened To My Mom And Dad.
15 years of enjoyment
my god......
💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧💧🌿
Struggle with depression is real. Please be aware.
I'm sorry freinds and family this is my life no one can change
YOU CAN !
It's difficult to harness enough energy to raise one's head to fight.
As you can cause I was there as well.. just look deep down inside your soul n let your BEAUTIFUL SELF SHINE.. Find out who you our, I searched, n listens to my inner self, your light, your spirit.. Go to the beach, mountains, river, where ever you live n listen. Find yourself as I did.. Blessings to you.
We are merely a product of our thoughts . You are telling yourself you can't walk. Can't breathe. Can't hear.cant love.change your thoughts. That thought process you will be blind. Stagnant. . . Get up.
Why the heck are the comment sections of most of her stuff on CZcams turned off does anyone who reads this know I'm just wondering and asking
Sad song 😦😦😦😦😦😦
What a beautiful song and what a bad clip
Could be a Sara Mclachlan song !!
I did not know the background of the song or what movie it was featured in but I use it to demo speakers with because of that piano and cello just after the 2:00 and 3:00 minute marks. Stick your head in between your speakers or headphones of choice and this combo can put you in another place. It may be sad but it is so in a beautiful way.
Movie: Allein, about a girl that struggles with BPD (Borderline personality disorder).
