Years later, I’ve grown up. Found a career. Bought a house. Own material things. Doesn’t matter, this song still hits like I’m 20 years old sharing a room out of a crappy apartment in east LA.
I almost started to cry because she wasn't being rude, other people were. This song is really deep and it clearly meant a lot to her. Her emotions and passion in the song connects to me and that's why I love her.
I agree. The fact that she had to tell people to be quite for ONE song multiple times makes me sad. Everything she does for her fans and nothing in return. I am very to ached by her voice, it's like a gentle hug. You can tell this song connects to her an a large scale. I love Mel. A lot. Im also very emotional.
She's performing. People aren't there to see her, they came to drink and instead of providing background music, she's forcing people to watch her play the guitar very poorly
+Daniel Martinez my girlfriend likes to play this song as well at open mics. i get the same way when people refuse to listen. I cant help but sing along (to any song she sings) as well. as annoying as it might be :p
+adrien dickerson What an artist thinks about their work should mean nothing to your opinion. I love the song "Creep" for specific reasons outside of the actual song, but they hate that song. Art is what it means to you, not anyone else.
Whether it was her concert or not anyone who is performing deserves your undivided attention even if it was an open bar they can give her a few minutes of silence just for her to sing her heart out
I see all these comments calling her rude. It's her concert, and to be fair I wouldn't want to sing infront of people who were just talking over me. Yeah, they payed to be there. But she would rather them not pay to be there and not be there at all. She's not rude for wanting respect while she performs, THEYRE rude for drunk talking as loud as possible. And the fans who came to hear her don't want the loud people either. They came to hear her perform, not to hear people shouting. If you go to a movie and people are talking loudly, it's the same thing. If you want to talk loudly, don't do it in the middle of someone's performance. She asked them nicely to stop. She has probably asked them before that. She said please. She shouldn't have to beg for people to be quiet at her own show. She isn't a rude person. She's actually very nice to people who aren't dickheads.
this is probably my all time favorite video of melanie, and it makes me so mad that even when she practically begged people were still talking over her! and now people are calling HER the rude one! anyway, this video is absolutely amazing.
She was 18 here and now she's 20 with her debut album coming in two weeks 😢 so proud of her and much more successes will be coming her way. Can't believe how much she's grown since her days on the Voice 💖💖💖💖💖
I can't believe how real she sounds. I mean I can feel the pain in the song when she sings it. God damn it that I dont live in the US :( I LOVE THIS GIRL!!! ♥
10 years ago this is how I found Melanie. And next year I get to see her live for the first time as she concludes her cry baby era. But to this day almost nothing hits the way this does.
Andres Angeles this is just a cover of her favorite song, don't worry. If I remeber correctly, the next album is coming out this year, where Crybaby will still make a appearance
Emily 'Wren' Chang you're correct, it's expected to release in autumn, then she will tour with it, the characters are still going to be a part of the story, it will just be from another perspective 😊it's also going to have more of a hip hop influence then crybaby did x
Me too. I love her so much and I always will and I wouldn’t ever think of talking over her like some of her arsehole fans do. Like if they truly did respect her they would listen to a song that obviously means a lot to her. I miss the old Melanie though :(
I remember the author of this song yelling at audiences for the same thing, not because that was his favorite song but because he hated how the crowds in Indy always talked over the performers.
Okay this is one of my very favorite songs. I first heard it when I was going through a very rough time but it brings back good memories because of who I was with when I heard this song. I had no idea Melanie covered it and I'm just so... emotional?
it makes me so angry that all those people were being so loud. she pretty much didn't even smile at all after that. even though it's a sad song she still normally would.
Lol thanks. i was getting fed up with the people talking in the back. It was distracting me from listening I cant imagine how that is for her to perform with.
I love this girls voice, she has lots of talent and clearly good taste in music. What I don't understand is how she can play this and then turn around and put out Dollhouse. To me it was a slap in the face, granted all the tracks were catchy and she is a good writer to boot. . . seems kinda like she was forced to sell out. [EDIT July 2021]. This comment is dumb and she can play any music she likes.
Lol thanks ! I honestly forgotten I was recording and I was too into the song.. afterwords when I got home I was like oops I probably should have be quite lol
Lol Aww thanks =D Kathryn Simmons I wish !!!! I have to photograph a wedding that night =[ total bummer but I have had it booked for a while. Do you have instagram? so we can stay in touch?
The way she extended the song made it more personal to her, the audience are assholes they were talking through the whole thing. But when they were singing with her it made it seem more... together l.
I really expected to not like her covering a song I have viewed as almost equivalent to holy scripture. But she really just did it so beautifully with such passion. This is really great
Ughhh so beautiful... I first heard this song a few months back, its such a sad song, and has so much emotion, and the way that she sang it... I could really feel it....
I have watched this hundreds of times over the years now and I love nothing more than this and the vibes from Melanie in these moments captured in this video the emotion comes through so strong it keeps a special place in my heart I’m sure for the rest of my life …thank you.
I know Melanie has moved on from cover songs ,but I keep coming back to this performance . I have followed her since her audition on the voice . I was one of her few die hard original supporters and even though her music now is a bit young for me I support her still .I bought her CD.
Her music carried me through years I thought I wouldn't survive. I can't listen to these songs without crying because they were the only thing that kept me going through lots of pain. And seeing her thrive today, enjoying her life and doing the thing she loves makes my heart glow.
The fact that I live about 15 mins away from Broadripple and go to it quite often makes this cover so much more special to me. Love this song and Melanie!
so ik i’m really late but i’m like full on crying. i used to listen to her religiously but i haven’t recently. my music taste has changed too much i guess but this cover is beautiful. this song means a lot to me. it’s about the city i live in. i live right by broad ripple. i bike there to spend time with friends most weekends. and it was only mentioned once in this song but i grew up at small shows in fountain square. this song has always made me really emotional because in my head i’m always thinking that nothing ever happens here but this song reminds me that i can still live even if it has to be here. idk. just my thoughts. have a nice day💕
Girl you should not have to beg! Good for you for getting what you want! I wish the people in the background would have stayed quiet because that was the most beautiful cover I have ever heard in my life. #melaniemartinez ilysm 💜🔥
honestly it amazes me that this song isn't popular by any means but for many people who've heard it, it's their favorite. such an amazing song and how it has managed to be so beautiful and under the radar of mainstream is beyond me. (this has been my favorite song for over and a year and i doubt any song will ever take it's place)
Much Respect to the Artist that Apologized for requesting silence at HER venue! I have SO much Respect for her then! And Now! Also I LOVE that Song and Margot & The Nuclear So & So's
I had never heard of this band ever before until Melanie. This is the only song I've heard from them but thanks to her I fell head over heels in love and I had to learn this song. I've wanted to be a singer slash musician since I was like 10 I'm all self-taught been playing since I was 10 and when I saw this I lost my mind. I do open mic night I where my brother works. Now every single time I do Open Mic nights on Wednesdays I always play this song and it's always a hit this song and Riptide are the two songs that get me the most applauds and cheers that I have ever heard and thanks to Melanie I feel so much more confident now when I'm on stage playing guitar I love this woman so much that it kills me
Children, Broadripple is burning And the girls are getting sick Off huffing glue up in the bathroom While your boyfriends pick up chicks. And darling I'm lost. I heard you whispering That night in fountain square. The trashed filled streets made me wish we were heading home. There was love inside the basement Where that woman used to lie In a sleeping bag we shared upon The floor almost every night. And darling I'm drunk, And everything that I have loved has turned to stone. So pack your bags and come back home. And I'm wasted. You can taste it. Don't look at me that way, 'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope. I will haunt you like a ghost. If my woman was a fire, She'd burn out before I wake, And be replaced by pints of whiskey, Cigarettes, and outer space. Then somebody moves And everything you thought you had has gone to shit. We've got a lot. Don't ever forget that. And I wrote this on an airplane where the people looked like eggs. And when a woman that you loved was gone, She was bombing East Japan. And don't fucking move, 'Cause everything you thought you had will go to shit. We've got a lot. Don't you dare forget that. And I'm wasted. You can taste it. Don't look at me that way, 'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope. I will haunt you like a ghost. And I'm wasted. You can taste it. Don't look at me that way, 'Cause I'll be hanging from a rope. I will haunt you like a ghost.
