What do WE DO WHEN JUSTICE GOES HOME –> someplace~who knows~but you got to wonder if it is BEYOND THE DARK SIDE~~~I sure do wonder. What a set of pipes on Melanie.
Immediate transformation back in time! Unbelievable time to be alive.
Bittersweet.
Thank you, Melanie, for your heart, your soul, and putting them both in to your music. ~Duffy~
I was fortunate enough to grow up with Melanie and have 8 albums, 9 CD’s and many tapes. Love her ……….. her music , her, everything. My first album was Candles in the rain, and I puchased it on Tape, and CD. I think I could honestly say, her music was my life. Not a week in my life has ever gone by without hearing at least one of her songs. She is in my iPod, iPhone and anywhere else I can place her. Thank you Melanie for your music. Love you.
@kesorkez Yes indeed…and Melanie is still touring and was at Glastonbury this summer UK. I saw her in Morecombe and she meets ALL her fans so I met her…and her son…she’s a great artist and person. Her husband died last year, very sad for her.
I was born in England 1974 and was introduced to melanie in England in 1990 (20 years after this recording) by a teacher at school. When I went to the US in 1996 and asked for some melanie CDs the record shop owner looked at me as if I was an Alien. But this proves she lives on through the years. Unique….and Amazing. Never forget this song.
Seems like a lifetime ago when I heard this, it brought back some sweet memories. A beautiful unique voice. Can anyone remember the track Melanie did with lyrics that included “some say I got devils – some say I got angels” or something like that. The tune still goes round my head. Best Wishes to all
Me, my son keeps reminding me that I am 56, so yeah, I too was just a kid when I first heard this. Without a doubt I had to get the album She still makes me melt — well her voice does – he he
Thank you very much (from Spain) I´ve heard this song lots of times when i was around 20 (younger). You all are right, too under rated artist, I discover her by chance.
It´s curius, I made my old tape with David Bowies Spiders from mars in one side and Melanies greatest hits in the rest of the b side, and it´s still the only one I use to rescue and listen.
sorry for grammar mistakes and thank you again!!
Gracias Melanie por tanta emoción, incluso por la (puñetera) melancolía;).

Sometime in the 70s or 80s I heard her for the first time on the radio and couldn’t forget that voice and the melancholy in this song.
i would of married her, just so she could sing me to sleep every night !!

Thank you
