Natalie Merchant Quotes About Songs

Quotes about: Songs

• For they told you life is hard
  Misery from the start,
  It's dull, it's slow, it's painful
  But I tell you life is sweet
  In spite of the misery
  There's so much more, be grateful
  So, who will you believe
  Who will you listen to
  Who will it be
  'Cause it's high time that you decide
  It's time to make up your own
  Your own state of mind
  Oh they told you life is long
  Be thankful when it's done
  Don't ask for more, be grateful
  But I tell you life is short
  Be thankful because
  Before you know it
  It will be over
  'Cause life is sweet, life is also very short

• When I originally wrote "Jealousy," it was more like an exercise to try to write a girl-group kind of pop song. It was really contrary to most of the material I'd ever written. I didn't pay much attention to the song after I'd recorded it. I didn't really perform it at all the last 20 years. When it came time to make the new record, I decided to make peace with the song and have fun with it.
