Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) is one of her biggest hits. written about her experience at Woodstock

@t.a.k.palfrey3882 Год назад

Melanie is one of those "new" singers who my friends and I "discovered" at Woodstock in '69. It began raining heavily during her set, but she just went on regardless. The next year, she recorded her most famous song "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" as a tribute to her experiences at that seminal festival. You should listen to it. Every time I play it, I am drawn back to those memories of four 19-yr old university students, listening to great music while being thoroughly baked, soaked, and muddy!! 😂🥴

@airandmist Год назад

There is a live version of "Lay Down" with the Edwin Hawkins Singers on a TV show from the Netherlands. It can be found here on YT. It's black and white from 1970 and incredibly powerful. You here a song like "Brand New Key" and might take her range as limited, but not with the live version of "Lay Down". A worthwhile review for your next Melanie song.

@walterrutherford8321 Год назад

I hope they one day find Oh Happy Day by The Edwin Hawkins Singers. A gospel song that hit the top of the charts in multiple countries.

@bryanCJC2105 Год назад

Wow, I haven't heard this song in a million years, since I was a little kid and would hear it on the radio. I never thought much about it but that refrain is very memorable. It takes me back to being in the car, my Mom has some radio station on, she's driving me home from pre-school, it's hot and the windows are rolled down because we didn't have AC in our car, and I'm trying not to let the vinyl seat burn my back and thighs. I think I only ever heard this song in the car. It has that kind of rhythm that kids can latch on to and remember them. Yup, that's how I remember this.

@tedcole9936 Год назад

Thanks for the memory! I love that!

@raymondreid4987 Год назад

This recording is one where she’s older, the original recording is even more powerful, as her voice lost a lot of it’s power. She was a powerhouse and sang Ruby Tuesday (by the Rolling Stones) at Woodstock and just blew it out of the park.

@jameswiglesworth5004 Год назад

@rondecker7783 Год назад

I totally agree with everyone's suggestion for Lay Down (Candles In The Rain). It's so powerful & soulful. My favorite Melanie song.

@stevenblock9712 Год назад

You should hear Melanie (Safka)'s first (and much more dramatic) hit, Lay Down Candles, done with the Edwin Hawkins Singers (and yes, about Woodstock). There is a live TV performance on RU-vid. But another novelty hit like this one is her Nickel Song. "They only put a nickel in, and they want a dollar song!"

@hockemeyer1 Год назад

Her song Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) is about her experience at Woodstock in the rain. A beautiful song. This song (Look What they've Done to my Song) is about her experiences with the record industry.

@markgulbranson7518 Год назад

Lay Down really shows how powerful her voice is. With a full gosple choir backing her, she's still heard clearly over them.

@johnc.195 Год назад

I don't know the details and I may remember wrong, but I think this song was a response to being cheated in some way out of the rights to "Brand New Key". Her voice is so, so powerful. Melanie Safka is a wonderful singer-songwriter and has written and performed some great songs. "Lay Down" is probably the next one to react to, my favorite Melanie song is "Lay Your Hands Across the Six Strings". Thanks for sharing your reaction to "Look What They've Done To My Song". :-)

@terri2494 Год назад

I’m replying in case someone else gives details on the origin of the song. Now I’m curious.

@HRConsultant_Jeff Год назад

She is also singing in French and Austrian. I had such a crush on her in my young days. Great voice, and Lay Down with the Edwin Hawkins Singer is a must. She also performed at Woodstock as a single act (no other musicians on stage). Pretty brave for a 22 year old female artist at the time.

@davidcollver6155 Год назад

It's so amazing she outlived so many others from the Woodstock era and she's just as beautiful she's in her mid-seventies at least. She's not a young girl anymore but she's still got it. She's still got several albums of good music. One of them I remember specifically is Brand New Key, constantly on the radio.

Everyone's favourite "flower power" girl ❤👍 There's a couple of very good videos showing how she connected with her audience. A couple of suggestions for future reactions: Her contribution to the Peace and Love culture of the 60/70s "Peace Will Come". Will literally "blow you away". A heartfelt, empathetic version of the Rolling Stones' "Ruby Tuesday". And a surprising performance from the early 90s of Bob Dylan's "A Hard Rains Gonna Fall". She turns it into a raunchy RnB number. An incredibly talented girl that seems to have been forgotten. It's good you've found her.

@kevinhouse4376 Год назад

I agree with everyone who says you must listen next to Melanie's "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" with the Edwin Hawkins Singers. It will blow your mind. Also, please react to Barbra Streisand's "Happy Days" duet with Judy Garland from Judy's early '60s TV show. It's a legendary pairing of two iconic singers. I can't believe you haven't yet listened to Judy Garland, who for my money was the greatest female entertainer of the 20th century.

@volkerthienenkamp9720 Год назад

She wrote Lay Down about her experience at Woodstock. She has a You Tube channel and she now lives in Nashville. I love her voice. I always have. She's got a concert coming up singing all the songs she sang at Woodstock. She is from the Janis Joplin era and your right. Her voice does reflect that.

@CharlesDunkley Год назад

Melanie Safka is my all time favorite female artist and my first ever musical crush. Her albums were put out by Buddah Records and had the best record label. It was the psychedelic label design that caught my attention. It was July 4, 1970, I was almost 6 years old, and everyone gathered at the community pool, bringing a turntable, speakers, and a lot of people brought their records to play. My dad brought 2 Melanie albums he had just bought. On the old turntables you could stack albums up and as each album would finish the turntable would drop the next one down to begin playing. People kept cutting the record stack and my dad's Melanie albums never got to play. When we got home, even though I was tired I put those 2 Melanie albums on our turntable in the living room and listened to them both in full before finally going to bed. And I've been listening to them ever since.

This song was perfect for the time it was released. Melanie Safka is wonderful. Have you not listened to her recording of Lay Down, with backup by the Edwin Hawkins Singers? They were a black gospel chorus based in Oakland, CA. Her collaboration with them on Lay Down is POWERFUL and so fabulous...you must NOT deny yourself that joy. And it sounds nothing like this one or Brand New Key. Just shows how versatile Ms Safka truly is. BTW, you reacted to a Janis Joplin tune maybe 18 mos. ago and she entered a comment about it and that she knew Janis, etc. I saw her comment & was amazed. What a treat. Hope she sees this.

Phenomenal synchronicity! Just yesterday I was going to look to see if you had ever reacted to to this song, and suggest it if you hadn’t.

@StarGeezerTim Год назад

It was French toward the middle of the song, and then German (Austrian, which is a German dialect) toward the end. Melonie was very much an underappreciated poet at a time when there were the likes of Dylan, McLean, Simon, and others. Her quirky and whimsical vocal styles (of which she had many) made her a darling on the folk circuit, as well as some popular acclaim as well. Her nonconformist attitude both endeared her to her audience while at the same time alienating her from the music industry (which would explain her frustration in this song.) She is still very much relevant today, and perhaps in some ways, even more so than when she was originally on the scene. Great choice today!

This is a live version (guessing in Austria!), not the original studio one that I knew by heart, you may want to check out the one from her self-titled album - that one has the more airy essence that you heard in Brand New Key. Another song from that album that you should listen to (maybe not review, but definitely listen!) called Christopher Robin - a sweet lullaby that is simply charming. For the real soul-side of her, check out Lay, Lady Lay - such a gritty performance!

An interesting bit of info. Melanie played at Woodstock when she was only 18 years old.

I will search this one up every once in a while to just listen and just sit remember a different time. It’s just so nostalgic .

I've never heard this before that I know of. It's not a bad song at all. She has a hearty, raspy voice. Her voice reminds me of Stevie Nicks. I love me some Stevie Nicks! But I do like her voice and how she sings this song.

I hadn't thought of it, but you're right. There is a similarity.
