Natalie Merchant Giving Up Everything | | "Giving up everything, see the whole magnificent emptiness. Gave what I want for how it is, for the stone inside and the bitterness, for the sweetness at the core of it." | | "I asked them, they know it's truth. Is it weird, big lie on a hook? Is it normal that I am healthy? See how I'm used to it. It's the price of fame. Here I am old, releasing gift." |
