Kacey Musgraves performing Merry Go 'Round live at the Royal Albert Hall in London, 18th November 2015, as part of the Country & Western Rhinestone Revue
It takes a special kind of musician to render a sold out crowd absolutely silent. Not to mention the fact she's not even in the US! What an incredible talent she is. I can't stop watching her play.
Just a person all alone with nothing but a guitar and a voice is the purest form of musical talent there ever can be. This is even better than the actual recorded song!
The English have superior music taste. She was many times bigger in the UK than she was in the States in 2014. She is the Dolly Parton of her generation, and she gets treated like dirt by American country radio.
If you ain't got two kids by 21 You're probably gonna die alone At least that's what tradition told you And it don't matter if you don't believe Come Sunday morning, you best be there In the front row, like you're s'posed to Same hurt in every heart Same trailer, different park Mamas hooked on Mary Kay Brothers hooked on Mary Jane And daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down Mary, Mary quite contrary We get bored so we get married And just like dust we settle in this town On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go Where it stops nobody knows And it ain't slowin' down This merry go 'round We think the first time's good enough So we hold on to high school love Say we won't end up like our parents Tiny little boxes in a row Ain't want you want, it's what you know Just happy in the shoes you're wearin' Same checks we're always cashin' To buy a little more distraction Cause Mama's hooked on Mary Kay Brother's hooked on Mary Jane And daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down Mary, Mary quite contrary We get bored so we get married And just like dust we settle in this town On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go Where it stop nobody knows And it ain't slowin' down This merry go 'round Mary, Mary quite contrary We're so bored until we're buried And just like dust we settle in this town On this broken merry go 'round Merry go 'round Jack and Jill went up the hill Jack burned out on booze and pills And Mary had a little lamb Mary just don't give a damn no more
Fantastic live performance, Kacey! Touching at the highest level! If I had a 15-year-old kid I might have them review the video and lyrics and have them provide me with a sketch of their next 5-10 years of their lives and how they intend to avoid living the merry go 'round (dead-end lifestyles versus daily self-improvement is my interpretation of the song; Benjamin Franklin graded himself every day and I quote, "I was surprised to find myself so much fuller of faults than I had imagined"). You deserve a long and loud standing ovation for this one.
Was fortunate enough to be at this gig at the Albert hall ... absolutely tremendous ... ... great talent, her songs are so different to the average country stuff..
Kacey, You have always inspired me, as well as Bro. Willy and Neil Young from the time I was in a band in the late sixties having not so much fun before Vietnam, but we need to move on and Reride the" Merry-go-round". I truly love you and your band so much, and share all your CDs with family and friends, who are now new fans. YOU AND THE BAND, GO GIRL, SO, MAHALO. We want to hear more of your great talent expressed. I am playing again my guitar and mandolin and piano, and harps again, because of you Your Fan, Forever, Dah KATZMAN
She sold out Royal Albert Hall? Damn!

Exactly. She's my inspiration
Nice to hear the stark honesty. The world needs more of it.

Damn shame
AGREED! Americans hate her because she's so liberal 🙄...but that's what those closed minded bastards need.
If you ain't got two kids by 21
You're probably gonna die alone
At least that's what tradition told you
And it don't matter if you don't believe
Come Sunday morning, you best be there
In the front row, like you're s'posed to
Same hurt in every heart
Same trailer, different park
Mamas hooked on Mary Kay
Brothers hooked on Mary Jane
And daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down
Mary, Mary quite contrary
We get bored so we get married
And just like dust we settle in this town
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Where it stops nobody knows
And it ain't slowin' down
This merry go 'round
We think the first time's good enough
So we hold on to high school love
Say we won't end up like our parents
Tiny little boxes in a row
Ain't want you want, it's what you know
Just happy in the shoes you're wearin'
Same checks we're always cashin'
To buy a little more distraction
Cause Mama's hooked on Mary Kay
Brother's hooked on Mary Jane
And daddy's hooked on Mary two doors down
Mary, Mary quite contrary
We get bored so we get married
And just like dust we settle in this town
On this broken merry go 'round and 'round and 'round we go
Where it stop nobody knows
And it ain't slowin' down
This merry go 'round
Mary, Mary quite contrary
We're so bored until we're buried
And just like dust we settle in this town
On this broken merry go 'round
Merry go 'round
Jack and Jill went up the hill
Jack burned out on booze and pills
And Mary had a little lamb
Mary just don't give a damn no more
Oh my God, she knows how to really play guitar well also. Amazing
I don't know any country singer that doesn't play guitar
@@jovitasor5403 There’s a huge difference between playing guitar and playing guitar well
This made me cry so beautiful 😍😭wish I could've seen her in Germany one time on her Pegeant material tour 🙈
She sounds so young in this song!!
This song is forever magical but so important right now.

Ugh why does she insist on making me eye-sweat
Her voice seems way different
Dalal Ali might be the RUclips quality
OH MY GOD! she's sooo touching. awe
This girl makes me well up when I hear her sing this song and know how much it means to her. Just fabulous stuff.
Was fortunate enough to be at this gig at the Albert hall ... absolutely tremendous ... ... great talent, her songs are so different to the average country stuff..

Ain't she BRILLIANT!
