shes a beauty
gosh, I wish I lived in 60s
Try Kim Walker “How he loves us”
Really magical in the true sense of the word! Production, singing, and writing. Something very special came together here in this recording.
She had many songs like that. Save Me and Friends and Company on Ballroom Streets are on the same level as this song. Normally I don’t care for covers but on that same album she did Ruby Tuesday better than the Stones did.
I did. It was great. I’m grateful, and happy that some of the magic has passed on to you.
Yes, it is. She was a pretty good player, always using a nylon string classical guitar.
Mine too
My dad named me after Melanie Safka….I never really understood why until he passed away a few years ago and I started doing research (seeing her videos and listening to her music) I now understand it makes complete sense to me why he named me Melanie! I love my name and what it represents
She had a good renommé when I was a kid, and I just rediscovered her the last days …. 40 years later …and she´s still the best singer-songwriter!
Your father had a great taste in music
I think this is still my favourite track of all time.
I saw Melanie play at the Folk Festival in South Florida about 5 years ago. She’s still playing and singing as well as ever. She said that things were not going well for her financially and someone just stole her favorite guitar,
Her son plays very well also.
She’s a very important part of musical history and she should be recognized as that.
hi, you must be special. I named my daughter after Melanie Safka as well because she touced me with her beautiful songs but mostly because of how she interpreted them, with great passion…………My Melanie is now 25 …..
Melanie 121176: I admire your Father for giving you such beautiful name. He definitely KNEW you would find out why!
Mine, too — At least best track from this album.
RedMangoFromPhuket – Of course people realise. She was famous in the 60s til the record conglomerates took over.
I am a child of the 60′s and loved Melanie so much I named my only daughter after her!!
@xxxpozed Bullshit!
I think that I liked Sinead O’Connor’s photos better. But, then, she made more of an effort to look more whatever. There is a similarity in singing styles in the Peace song. It leaned more towards Sinead…rite?
I became a fan as a teenager in the early 80′s after hearing Candles in the Rain for the first time. Listening to this takes me back. To me, this song is quintessential Melanie. Her deep passion and love for what she did(does) shows through in every note she sings. She is a true original and, I feel, underrated. Thank you for posting. I hope that through postings like this one more people can hear Melanie.
Love this song!! Love Melanie Safka, her music is just so great. I have never seen her in concert but would love to before God calls me home. We’ll see. Love Candles In The Rain too. She is the best, and unfortunately, the least remembered from the 1960′s. Everyone keep her music alive and keep her music going. And do what you can to get her in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame.
Footnote to what I just posted. I heard Melanie on a radio show a while back. She was at Woodstock 1969 and she was just a kid with her Mom there. Anyway, she wrote ‘Lay Down, Candles In The Rain’, (if I remember the story right), on her way back home from Woodstock 1969. Just thought that I would share that with you all.
@KabbyNeil Considering that the Moody Blues and Steppenwolf aren’t in the Hall of Shame maybe being not being there is a bigger honor.
Different styles for different days,my friend.
Sinead came to public eye,much later than Melanie. That is how beautiful woman looked in the ’60 into early ’70s.
The music of both,were of equal message & meaning and that is what really counts. Right?
