 Happy birthday to Natalie Merchant, born in Jamestown, New York on this day in 1963.

Natalie Merchant - Carnival

Thanks to Route 

I didn’t use their track as they chose a cover of a Springsteen/Smith collaboration ‘Because The Night’

so this is celebrating with one of her own great songs

“All the writings on the wall

The paper all must fall

You’re only as good as your word remains

You can take it out if you

Decide to follow through 

Just take what you earn and leave what remains.”
