LYRICS TO CANDLES IN THE RAIN
Little sisters of the sun lit
candles in the rain,
fed the world on oats and raisins
candles in the rain
li the fire to the soul
who never knew his friend
meher baba lives again
candles in the rain
to be there is to remember
lay it down again
lay down
lay down
lay it down again
men can live as brothers
candles in the rain....
LYRICS TO LAY DOWN (CANDLES IN THE RAIN)
CHORUS
lay down lay down, let it all down
let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
lay down lay down, let it all down
let your white birds smile up at the ones who stand and frown
we were so close, there was no room
we bled inside each others wounds
we had caught the same disease
and we all sang songs of peace
CHORUS
so raise the candles high cause if you
don't we could stay black against the night
oh raise them higher again and if you
do we could stay dry against the rain
CHORUS
we were so close there was no room
we bled inside each others wounds
we had caught the same disease
and we all sang songs of peace
some came to sing, some came to pray
some came to keep the dark away
so raise the candles high
cause if you don't we could stay
black against the sky
oh oh raise them higher again
and if you do we could stay dry against the rain
CHORUS

      @HoustonRebel ปีที่แล้ว

      No, don't remake it. Leave it like it is. It's always ruined when someone tries to remake something that's already a classic. Like Woodstock '94. That was a flop. I've never been partial to remakes unless you can at least equal the original. Or do it in an original style. Like Joe Cocker's With A Little Help and Sticks And Stones and Came Into The Bathroom Window. Leave well enough alone.

    Melanie was an unscheduled performer at Woodstock, sent onstage after The Incredible String Band declined to played during the rainstorm. She was called back for two encores. Johnny Winter and The Band were other artists who were called back for encores (one each).

    1:12 How peculiar Avatar Meher Baba's name finds its way in this song. Also interesting to note is, His posters were all over the festival, a tent also allotted with to distribute His messages and pamphlets, heck The Who, they performed at the Festival had Pete Townsend, a long time Meher Baba follower (O Parvardigar, Baba-o-riley). Meher Baba led an entire generation of musicians and woke westerners into introspection. While Woodstock was the hip movement and represented free will and life, Meher Baba's message on life and love was strikingly similar. Except for one major message: God can't be found in a pill. "If God can be found through the medium of any drug, God is not worthy of being God." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_in_a_Pill%3F

    First of all. You are giving folks the impression that Melanie sang this song at Woodstock, which she could never have, seeing as she was inspired while singing in the rain at Woodstock to pen this song. It's so easy to Google and check your facts. Interview after interview she gives about how this song got written. While singing at Woodstock in the rain, the audience all lit their lighters and some candles to show her they were still there listening to her. That coupled with what she saw there and who she heard was the inspiration for this song. She went there with her parents in support. By the time she was done singing, people in the rain, lighting candles and lighters, she had the main tune in her head and went home to pen this song. Please post responsibly with actual facts. Woodstock took place from Aug 15, 1969 - Aug 18, 1969. Melanie wrote the song after performing at Woodstock in August 1969; the song's lyrics describe what she felt as she looked out at the sea of people attending the music event.(Internet!!). This song was not released until March 7, 1970. but don't take my word for it.... Listen to Melanie in this Finland interview that she did well after Woodstock and how she explains what I just wrote out. Please post responsibly, just because you are under an impression about something should mean you need to vet the material. th-cam.com/video/IZ52lk9wjZI/w-d-xo.html
