This is amazing. I have his sister as a science teacher haha
Aw man that’s awesome.id def be trying to meet him😊
Just heard this on Grey's Anatomy tonight.....I like the duet!

fell in love with this song when I watched Greys Anatomy ❤
The first time I heard this song it brought tears to my eyes. That hasn't happened to me in years. This is sheer beauty, a gorgeous classic that will never die. I am so grateful to the angel who created this, and the pair of angels singing it.
I am a full time singer/guitarist and D.J. I eat albums as soul food (3-4 a week) . Rarely does a singer come along that just stuns me (David Gray. Ron Sexsmith, Mark Heard) I bought "There is so much more" and "Hope for the hopeless" and would not play anything else for 3 months straight and no one complained, not once. I bought multiple copies and gave them out like Father Christmas. Never have so many asked "Who sings that song your playing"? I just love this version of Heaven. love alex xox
This song reminds me of John Lennon's "Imagine".
The message in this song is sweet. Yet, there are some, if offered this "heaven" as a choice, would turn it down in favor of class divisions and competition.
I am SOOOOO glad I finally discovered this guy!
Mariah Huizar free weed ? say giday !
this song's one of the strongest i've ever heard. *_*
This is such a beautiful song. I am torn because the song has a religious sentiment that hearkens back to the ignorant stone age when fire was thought to be created by gods.
Found this song on an ap called "tap tap revenge". I LOVE IT! Thank you!
omg same!!!!!
This song is so underrated! It's so so beautiful!
Hell i love all his music.
I wish I could write a brilliant song like this one ... AMAZING Brett!
Thinking my song "Without You" relates somewhat to your "Heaven" in the way
we deal with uncertainty and questions of belief after untimely death of a loved one.
The nice thing is, I don't see this as a "religious" song, but kinda like Lennon's "Imagine" -- just about being a good human and living to the best of your ability. If your a believer or a non-believer, it relates to the human experience and hope in general.
Nice Brett!!... You guys sound great together... But then again I would expect you and Natalie to... Thanks for the great post!! Much Love
@MrKillbot5 It's not to the video :) I'm just inspired by Jack Johnson, Brett Dennen, Mason Jennings and a lot more. For me it looks like they know what life is about. And they enjoy every moment of their life even if it's in hard times. And for me it's something that i also would be able to. So it helps me to listen to Brett and read Paulo Coelho :)
This was the first Brett Dennen song I had, and now he's my favorite artist.
My new favorite artist. Discovered him on Letterman last week and can't stop listening. His own website has some great songs streaming for free -- but buy them!!! Incredible writer, amazing singer (reminds me of Marvin Gaye)
I'm in awe of the wisdom of his youth. Brett's lyrics take me back to San Francisco in the 60's. He, like so many of that period, has a vision, a perspective that has no dividing line and recognizes a few basic principles. Perhaps we can know heaven if there is "a home for the homeless" and "hope for the hopeless." Otherwise, "What the Hell is Heaven." susan Q. miller
fantastic, Brett, you both sound great-thanks for another great song!!!
-peace and love-
@Anna22493 Hehe. Wow. Cringe. Although, come to think of it, the Beatles did start as a boy band, really, and they did change their look entirely to do so (leather jackets to suits). Of course, they didn't stop there, and I don't really see any artist becoming what Beatles' were to their generation/culture.
"The cloth of conviction" - I like it. . .
I thought I was dead but this song roused feeling not felt in eons.
what i find is interesting is Natalie Mewrchant was just being found now lol She was lead singer for 10,000 Manicas for years! She has been solo for a while but she is still an awesome singer check out some of her/10,000 maniacs songs like Whats the matter here...as to Brett very interesting n talented
ughhh, original wayy better. Her voice just throws the whole mood of the song..
@PNWslowrider99 - Oh Natalie has things out, listen to Ophelia it came out in the late 1990s and she released Motherland & The House Carpenters Daughter all in early 2000's... My Skin is one of my favorites off of Ophelia, same with Ophelia off of Ophelia. I just adore her music.
@Anna22493 sorry just listening to this song, and i have to 'pologize for not mentioning how amazing it was in my last comment.
Question: Is there a home for the homeless?
Answer: Under the freeway
I havent seen such lyrical wizadry since Morrisette 'Ironic'
@Jezus2010
Glad you have all the answers. Bertrand Russell said all the problems of this world are becasue the stupid people are so certain and the smart ones are so full of doubt. Amen.
@jnuck83
No, of course he's not.
He's just signed to a record label and doing duets with other famous singers signed to a record label.
Hey, he's just a regular guy like you!
Reaaaaaaally late.. but can somebody make a real video for this? Like go through different cultures and religious sections of the world and prisons and wartorn areas and video clips of lost children for this or something?? I swear it would go so viral.. and the proceeds should go to various charities like seriously.. this song is Soo touching🥺 it makes you think about society and all the public lies about what people think God is instead of just letting God call us as individuals.. thank you brothers and sisters❤️
Natalie Merchant definitely adds a kick to this song. Personally, I like both versions the same. And no, she "doesn't" fuck it up. Open your ears.
Brett Dennen is by the way just as much a philosopher and poet as a musician! He's just brilliant in every way.
I remember a music vidoe that i got on apple music back in the day for free for a free music download of the week. It was this song and i know that for sure. Although there was an amazing music video that look like it was made of paintings, that started out as a field and then slowly grew into a town and then a big city and then the city became abandoned and collapsed and then the nature back over...
I'm pretty certain it was this song.
I listened to it and watche the video every morning beofre dealing with people at school my sr yr.
I would love to see that vidoe again.
Don't get me wrong the song is amazing by itself it's just I'm old enough to wear senior year of high school is now my childhood. 😅 Oh fuck my back! Owch!
I need to stop remembering i am old.😂
Back to the point it would just be nice because the video itself you must know is its own work of art and i am aure thats why you paired it with this masterpiece.
Heaven, what is it, who knows? What is life at all, what is all this chaos and stuff floating above us, in us, and through us, mysterious ways indeed, why all this something rather then nothing? Where do we go from here? To sublimate something out of our nothing's maybe in them we will find our everything.
she's not great with him ://...sorryyy
So, you can't be prejudice against truth; because, when read against our own justification it presents itself otherwise than anything that was originally concluded on its own.
I like her voice and she sounds nice in this song, but I hate when people change the tune slightly when they cover songs.
Oustanding tune and Natalie sounds great haven't heard andything out of her since early 90s
@Anna22493
i can compare them too- beatles rock, bieber sucks! well technically that was contrasting but still...
Lyrics are epic!
Really love this version! please come visit Denmark ASAP!
@XGodLikePowersX i dont thik the song's so bad.. but i still like the other version with just him is better..
- that is where i heard it to and i like this song.... its a good song.. and it has a good meaning behind i
@Anna22493 how is he like the beatles justin is crap the beatles is not. you should have punched them XD
@Anna22493 I would have punched them! People just don't know or appreciate music or listen to lyrics!
Natalie's voice sounds a lot like Stevie Nicks. It's absolutely beautiful. I love Brett's solo version, but adding Natalie knocks this one out of the park.
@bosszeroboss
I'd hardly consider Brett Dennen a multi-millionaire celebrity.
what makes me loose hope for humanity is how everyone is so quick to judge and anger. . . . .
@gravyonbiscuit Dont you mean Good Biebf???? I think picking Bieber is the high road here
Millionaire celebrities preaching about how everyone should think the way they do.
Yawn.
he's not making fun of heaven.........he's simply promoting world peace.
not really religion, rather the dogma and the layers and layers of rules and regulations
perfect combination of voices. Just lovely
Because originally, it was just him. It's new because it wasn't a duet before.
Thanks to my friend Jonathan for this play list😊🙏🙏
A poet extraordinaire..his music moves me like seeger simon or dylan. thanks
tap tap revenge 4, level 6
I absolutely LOVE this song ;D I played it on Tap Tap Revenge on my iPod Touch, and I played it so much.. I started to learn the words more and more.. and so I just had to get it ;D Beautiful Song!
Why isn't there an official music video for this incredible duet?! It's hell not being able to see and hear this wonderful piece.
Love this song. Brilliant arrangement with Natalie's vocals. Fantastic composition. I'm quickly becoming a fan of yours, Brett. Nice work. Keep 'em coming :o)
great Natalie merchant, as if she can do no wrong with her singing
i saw Brett @ Rothbury. Excellent live act. One of my fav's of the entire festival. He's an amazing lyricist too. Keep on Keepin ON Brett!!!!!!!
@boss.... are you even listening to what they're saying? Right.
Sweet shit cassie james noel veronica james...jacet
what i really meant to say was, this was an explosion of incredible talent when combined together. awesome.
didn't think I'd like this version, now that I hear it, I'm really impressed. Even better!
tap tap revenge brought me here
Me tooo
Natalie in anything makes it better but on another video upload they were going off calling Natalie names and Ill say this Brett knew this is what was needed because Natalie is the worlds best artist least top few..... And I would love a duet with her even none recorded but this is a great song Brett your on your way and just stay true like Natalie did and you will be amazing artist.
natalie's got a beautiful voice and i think it compliments brett on this song. it's a wonderful tune.
this is a amazing song, the lyrics are very beautiful and the melody too, and you have a very beautiful voices, great job!!!
I liked the version of this song without Natalie Merchant.
This kids got great taste, great voice and a big heart. Natalie is breath-taking as usual. A great song duo
THIS SONG IS LIKE BEING IN HEAVEN
It has been a long time since music made me feel like this.
I just saw you on Letterman and I fell in love with this song and your voice. SO GOOD.
Her voice spices this up. I like it :)
aaaahhh...hard to know what to say...brilliant...brett...natalie....yeah I feel like I know you know, you apparently know me....what love...thank you
I had no idea this happened until today
My two most favorite singers... Beautiful. & the lyrics are wonderful.
At the end i thought they said kevin not heaven.
way awesome!
@Anna22493 i'd join you... where are they?
18 people liked this video so much that they turned their screen upside down just to like it again!!!
This song is so sad but so true.
Love him!
Thanks for sharing Leslee!
@AnnaLgrafton v=hnn1GJZ-lBA&feature=related
awesome duet..
wow
r u making fun of god i really dont no
I have to admit, I discovered this song through Natalie, but dear god I'm glad I did.
But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded.
For now we see through a mirror in an enigma, but then face to face.
Now I know in part, but then I shall knowas also I was fully known.
But now remains faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.1 corinthians 13:1-13
Heaven..... Heeeaaaveeennn 🎶🎶🎶🎶
@ThatOneGYmnast Lady Gaga wanting to take a ride on a disco stick is infinitely more interesting musically and conceptually than Brett Dennen warbling and whining about all the trouble in the world.
I like it better without Natalie.
Beautiful song...keep up the good work Brett
great song, If i may add, If earth is the home for all that can be seen, then heaven is the home of the unseen and of the creator of what is both seen and unseen, and the home for all who believe in him.
Moved out of straight amd.straifht to hope..harloota and witches...unsaturday or wendseday....leave it be keep g it funky...ggunit geometric rad freestyle
I see a lot of young people saying they love brett.. i do too....Everyone here needs to listen to Natalie when she was with 10,000 maniacs, She's one of the best most underrated vocalist out there IMO
Who's here in 2024
👇🏻
@tbawden100 Merchant can't compete with Nicks. They are opposites. Nicks is real. Merchant wants to try to sound sexy. Nicks' exudes sex and sexiness. Nicks and Dennen could fix this stupid blunder. Dennen is too nice of a guy to turn Natalie down..but he should have. She added nothing to this song. Sorry.
The boring voice of Natalie drags this song down. She wants to sound beautiful. She needs to grind it and make it real and raw...the way Janis Joplin would have done. Her influence traps this song into a commercial genre...opposite of Brett's style and purpose. I could never buy a boring Natalie Merchant cd...yawn.
