MELANIE poetry in motion

'Save Me' is one of my favourite Melanie Safka songs and I wondered whether the lyrics and Melanie's voice would retain the power of the song if simply sung as a poem, and the answer for me was a resounding yes so I stripped out the instrumentation and made this audio mix ..... but your view may differ! If it does, you can hear the full on instrumentation version in my "Hunchback of Notre Dame" version at • MELANIE Save Me (tHoND...

Thank You Sky Vibes I have always wanted to meet Melanie to thank her for saving me with her music. Melanie, After all these years your words and your voice open up your soul to those who can see, hear, and love. I still love you, Melanie, one human being to another. You told me I wasn't wrong to believe in love. Though it hurts so much that the Saddest thing is so true. I still am grateful that my late wife and i would sing your songs at gatherings while playing our guitars. I learned to play because of your music. I still say Thank You Life, For Having Been. Knowing there was another human being out there who felt things so acutely as I do kept me from suicide until I met my wife who stretched out her hand in real love to me and gave me strength. She's been gone from here since 1987 but her love will last forever in my soul. Without music I get a little wobbly. My first concert was with my late wife when I was 16 and she was 17 at Westbury Music Fair. I've been to a thousand concerts since, but I will never forget yours. Beautiful People confirmed what i believed about people. Years later a trance song called "Nobody is Nobody" stirred me to make the focus of my life to spread the idea that just because you're different than me it does not mean you're any less of a human being. I am fascinated by the gifts of understanding those differences. ***The Time Has Come To Show People That Nobody is Nobody*** I send you LOVE and GRATITUDE, Melanie.
