Melissa Etheridge - No Souvenirs

Music video by Melissa Etheridge performing No Souvenirs. (C) 1989 Island Records Inc.

[@davidramsey2411]

This is the first song by Melissa I ever heard. I got the chance to tell her this song saved my life. It put everything in perspective and described exactly how I felt at that moment. It gave me a way to start moving on with my life. Now that's what I call the magic power of music.

[@GFlyakiteddf]

Sounds extremely familiar hello 😅 wait ❤‼️

[@cherylshort5005]

Mine as well, though my soon to be partner of 30 yrs has passed.but she sang & plated it on guitar

[@marygill6113]

I'm with ME in 2024! Been with her for 30 years and thank God every day for it!❤🎉

[@melissamisfit5097]

One of my all time favourite female singers. Fierce woman, incredibly talented

[@thebraininsideahead]

shame not many views should be blowing beiber out of the water. this one sogn is better than every single song he has out and will have out.

[@bjtild]

Brave & Crazy was and always will be a brilliant album! I worked at one of her concerts back in the 90's and she autographed my copy.

[@cariwaldick4898]

I have no idea why this woman never became a superstar. Every song she sings is amazing.

[@rickarra1833]

She was huge

[@cariwaldick4898]

@@rickarra1833 Yeah....maybe. But next to Taylor Swift, who has a fraction of the talent, she didn't get the attention she deserved (deserves.)

Love this whole damn albums. Just dusted it off.

[@paulferguson9475]

Saw her at the Enmore theatre in about early 90's and she blew me away with her musical skills and had 1 hell of a kick ass backing band to boot

[@GRieck-ku7lq]

baby girl can sure wail. jeeze, we were all such kids back then. this is still one of my favorite 'play real loud and drive real fast' songs...

[@rickarra1833]

When these songs were hits, I must have wore out CD after CD. You can feel her soul, heart, and mind, through her great voice. You can feel her pain, and joy, at times, going through her, and you She was so intense, and strong, yet so vulnerable

[@michellebabuta4603]

wore this damn CD out back in the day.....not a bad song on it.

SAME! My college suitemate and I would blast this and the Indigo Girls on the freeway on the way back from seeing her gf one town over. Classic times. There's not a bad cut on this CD.

[@westerntke]

This was my mom’s favorite song and was my favorite song for a long time! She passed away from cancer in 2015. You have always been a happy place for me dealing with cancer. I know you have had your battle as well. Every time I hear you, it makes me think of my mom. You could always put a smile on our face, if we were at the lake of the ozarks or tailgating at a chiefs game listening to you! Thank you for everything Melissa!

[@rickarra1833]

That was nice

[@BillKrayer12thMan]

The first song I ever heard of hers. Been in love with her ever since. Got this album on tape for Christmas 1992. Saw it on VH1 and said "HOLY SHIT, SHE'S PLAYING A 12-STRING!!"

[@ianrandell9763]

This is one song that will never get old. ❤

[@helnopeno]

Another fine song with hardly any air time.

[@randywestvalley]

those first two etheridge albums.....they were excellent from the first track to the last.....both were great.

[@Woodrowtracy]

She deserves/deserved so much recognition she got. seriously amazing voice.

[@mommanana9961]

Have loved her and her music since the first time I heard her in the early yo mid 80’s. She has a beautiful voice!

[@rickarra1833]

Yeah, back again. I love the song, of course, but her intensity is off the charts

[@olgaredman7497]

Such a moving song, such a performance.

[@Lowgun5]

I don't remember how I even came across this album back in '89. I knew that it was a classic as soon as I listened to it, though. Still a simply amazing record. I don't know it was who broke Melissa's heart back then, but they sure did a number on her. The happy result was this masterpiece of an album, though.

[@rickarra1833]

I'm laughing because you, me, and millions of others had to think the same thing. Whoever it was, she was crazy for

[@stephanieroberts1394]

I don't what i'm doing here but it sure is nice to revisit the past. Thanks for posting these vids. You are one hell of a song writer Melissa. Just unreal.

[@MrJeparo]

Melissa with her lyrics, and me standing there in awe.

I wonder how many people under the age of 30 know what a jackpot telephone is..............? I saw Melissa live in 1992 on the Never Enough tour. It was an amazing show.

[@taneeclardy1475]

[@NatsuDragn33I]

+epistte My family and I called them Miracle Phones because it'd take a miracle to actually get a hold of someone from them.

[@epistte]

@laura Silveria I saw her in Clevland flats in August of 1992. It was an amazing show. A ship captain stopped and listened to the show.

[@katbowl9971]

@@taneeclardy1475 I think she explained on the Songwriters show a jackpot telephone is when you call someone to tell them how you feel about them & if you aren't sure how they'll respond that's why it's a jackpot telephone. You may get a positive answer back, or you may not.

[@andrewlowther9819]

what intensity in her early career. wow!

Hello, hello this is Romeo Calling from a jackpot telephone Shame, shame but I love your name And the way you make the buffalo roam Oh fly, fly I guess this is goodbye Oh you packed up your heart And you left no souvenirs But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where I'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs Once, twice I thought it might be nice To come into your kitchen and play Cool, cool just a crazy fool I never saw it any other way Oh wait, wait I guess I'm just too late Oh you made up your mind Love shouldn't be so hard But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where I'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs No shirts, no shoes No jackets, no blues You car's for sale You forward your mail You're growing your hair You don't want to know where I'm calling you from Or how come But if you want me you can call me In the night you know where I'll be Broken lover you can touch me In the dark the innocent can't see You lock it up now hide the key It would mean surrender to let me see Oh brave, brave soldier keep it under cover You fell alone like no other lover Burn the pictures break the records Run far away to a northern town Sell your fear and leave me standing here With no souvenirs

[@BrianandLesliesMommy]

Circa 89, one of my dear friends bought me ME's Brave & Crazy CD's for my birthday, that was all she wrote. I was 21, walking through the misty forrests and beaches of Humboldt County, CA,with a mug of Earl Grey tea lodged firmly in my hand....I'd just realized I had a crush on a woman named Tracy, who went to college with me at HSU. She was a TA in my history of religion class. I didn't know what to do with those feelings back then. What I do know is this song's been one of the few that have remained current in the sound track of my life for the last 30 years. Melissa is a trailblazer. I wish I could spend one more day, walking the forrest, listening to her on my discman.
