In the videos, Merton sits at a piano and improvises songs about either his observations of the people he is meeting or story ideas suggested by them.

Merton's first video garnered more 5 star ratings than any other YouTube video in history, making it the highest rated YouTube video ever. His musical style has been compared to Randy Newman and Ben Folds. Merton lives in Colorado and he works in a computer-related business. His real name is unknown. He is a self-taught pianist.

There was speculation that "Merton" was in fact Ben Folds. While the two have similarities in appearance and music style, both have denied being the same person. Folds has in fact performed a homage to Merton at a concert where he similarly improvised songs while meeting people on Chatroulette. On a later video of Merton's, Ben Folds and Merton appeared together, proving that they are not the same person.

Merton has been recently hired by T-Mobile to do some public events in the United Kingdom; on November 24, 2010, he played in Gatwick Airport's South Terminal greeting international arriving passengers with his improv piano playing.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots

I like standing still, but that's just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

I count gates and numbers, then play the guessing game
It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots

I like digging holes
Hiding things inside them
When I grow old
I won't forget to find them
I like digging holes
Hiding things inside them
When I grow old
I won't forget to find them
I've got no roots
No roots

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I've got no roots
I've got no roots (no)

Overall Meaning

The song "No Roots" by Merton Alice is about the artist's constant travel and lack of a permanent home. The lyrics describe her love for "digging holes and hiding things inside them" as a metaphor for her nomadic lifestyle where she temporarily sets up a home but eventually has to leave and move on to the next place. She talks about counting gates and numbers, playing the guessing game, and standing still being a "wishful plan," emphasizing the idea that she is always on the move and doesn't have a place to call home.

The line "I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground" highlights that the artist's sense of belonging is not tied to a physical location. She acknowledges that she has memories that travel with her like "gypsies in the night," romanticizing the idea of a nomadic lifestyle. While the song may seem wistful at times, ultimately, it celebrates the freedom that comes with not being tied down to one place and living life on one's own terms.

Overall, "No Roots" is a poignant expression of the artist's identity as a traveler, capturing the hope, excitement, and uncertainty that come with constantly moving from place to place.

Memories and travel are my way of life.

I count gates and numbers, then play the guessing game
I am constantly counting and guessing where I will end up next.

It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same
