Album Notes & Community Reviews

The lead single from Natalie Merchant's second solo album 'Ophelia', pairing her plainspoken vocal with a warm, organ and guitar led folk rock arrangement. Its lyric addresses generosity as a daily practice rather than a grand gesture, a characteristic turn in her solo songwriting after 10,000 Maniacs.
