Put Melanie in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame posthumously! It's an unbelievable shame that she wasn't inducted in her lifetime. Such a generational icon. RIP beautiful soul! Cheers\=/\=/
What?....F the rock n roll hall of fame....her spirit is to honest and wholesome for that commercial schamn....if you are touched by this once in a lifetime gem then be good with that and let it be....
I had not heard this song until now. My wife and I were together alone for such a long time, and then four years ago we weren't anymore. Singing alone is so hard. Thank you for your words and music, Melanie
I heard this song when I was 13 years old on the Woodstock album, The first album I ever purchased. This was my favorite song and like you I am now singing alone this past one and a half years.
Main steam media could certainly learn from Melanies honesty and compassion for people and the beautiful way she delivers it. Wouldn't it be wonderful to hear one news station play her music rather than report 24/7 about how many people got sick, died or were killed through unnecessary violence. I first saw this young Lady perform, in a muddy field, in the rain, August of 1969 at a music festival in Bethel N.Y I was 13 The minute she began to perform I realized there was very something special about her. Here we are over 50 years later and her honest and sincere belief in peace can happen in our lifetimes still rings so true. I have never forgotten how she willing showed over 400,0000 people how to overcome adversity through her music, peace and the willingness to join together as one. Please wake up world, peace can come to those who embrace it, this was proven in August 1969 at place known as Woodstock. Those of us than learned the true meaning peace so many years ago through Melanies music and loving personality are truly blessed. Her gift must not be allowed to ever be forgotten, it is our responsibility to pass her gift on to the younger generations. Melanie thank you, that night and your determination to be yourself regardless of conditions has stayed with me my whole life and carried me through both good and bad times.
Very appropriate, deserving & well expressed tribute to Melanie Anne Safka; a beautiful girl & creative artiste, a full package who satisfies a sense of completeness! She needs to be cloned!❤❤❤
Every one should take screenshots of this very well written text reply & save the entire document on the photo app; I did, it took 3 screenshots & well worth it! Everything texted was honestly true & reflects Melonie herself!❤❤❤

Wow. Found this tonight in March 2020. I love her. As a boy, found her music so soothing. And, yes, she's beautiful, with amazing soft hair. But, as great as all that is, you are such a wonderful musical talent. Thank you for what you've given to me, and so many other. Carson gets you.
America’s Got Talent said the same thing to Courtney Hadwin after she auditioned with jaw dropping Janice Joplin/Michael Jackson type performances! Courtney said “Back in England, they don’t get me” & a talent judge replied “Screw them, WE get you”!😅😅😅😅
Such a Gorgeous, talented and beautiful woman, I've loved you since your "Candles in the Rain" LP. I can't imagine my life without your music and beautiful presence in it. Your face was on my walls in Posters and LP covers and 45 sleeves, you had priority over Farrah Fawcett : )

When she speaks, I am reminded of a short talk Joni Mitchell gives just before she sings Woodstock song on a piano. I can see similar level of honesty in both talks. However, the silly host with his self centered remarks and questions partly spoils what Melanie wanted to say. I don't like these talk show hosts because many of them cannot deal with their own stardom and confidence of home turf when they talk to their guests. They interrupt frequently, put words in the mouths of the guests, change the course of conversation, and bring in their own experiences. On this front, I particularly dislike Conan O'Brien as he failed the most to keep his often poor humor contained. But big names like Carson, Letterman, etc. were not a whole lot better. Today's generation is the same way (Colbert, Fallon, etc.)
What memories your music brings back to my heart! I love your music, it's truly uplifting to my soul! I have almost all your albums. I've been finding them in various record stores and renewing my vinyl collection. Every time I find another album, the memories of my youth come flooding back! Thank you Melanie!
I can't believe i never knew of her. She's my generation and she's so lovely, so true to her vision. I remember her song "I've got a pair of brand new rollerskates and you've got a brand new key" but never knew her face.
Oh My Goodness !...Dont know what else to say , because it seems that if I did (say anything) it could be taken wrong...and never would I hate the sweetheart of the universe' feelings
Listen to the way she holds a note at the end of a phrase. It's almost impossible to believe a human being can make a sound like that . And it's almost like she's not singing, but you still hear a sound. It's incredible. Her voice is unbelievably sweet. In an interview, she never got excited or upset.
God bless you! You created beautiful music that will live on for ages, if not forever

Always loved her flower child voice & mannerisms! An unpretentious artiste; nothing phony about her!❤❤❤❤
"Flower child voice" perfect description.

So sorry you left us Melanie, you were a soothing voice in our increasingly polarised world. Your beautiful songs will definitely live on forever.

Together Alone
Lyrics/
We'll grow old, we'll take care of each other
I'll be your sister, your mother, your lover
We'll be friends during changes of weather
Let's be together on our own
Let's be together alone
We're believers, we've been hurt by believing
Needing people, we know looking's not seeing
I see needs that might be answered by forever
Together on our own
Let's be together alone
We'll learn living, like the words of a good song
We'll learn timing, balance and rhythm
We'll make it music
I don't want to sing it on my own
Let's be together, let's be together alone
Let's be together alone
Repeat
We'll grow old, we'll take care of each other
I'll be sister, mother and lover
We'll be friends
I'm tired of singing it alone
Let's be together alone
God bless

Love Melanie, she so refreshing and so so gifted. She touches your soul in such a delicate way. God's child ✨☆♪♫♪•✨💜.✨♪♫♪☆✨
I'm in my 60's but the 12yr.old inner child in me is still smitten with you and, now crying....R.IP. Melanie

Rest in beautiful peace. Thanks for all the great music.
Amen!

I am truly heartbroken
I wasn't even born when she released her first album, but her voice spoke to me in a way no one else could. Requiescat in pace, Melanie.
I’m so glad you found Melanie. She sang from her soul to our souls, to those with open souls.
Perfect song for now, as we shelter-in-place. Thank you, Melanie! Your music and words (and your voice and spirit) are timeless. Love, Paul

what no Patty Duke?
@@herasmarket She was cute but not poster worthy.
Have a load of L.P.s of hers from the 70s. First, Born to be, and the last one Garden in the city.
We are a story told by others. We are running out of words. Love and peace.
Lady Gaga, Adelle, Miley Cyrus and the like shut up and take notice this is what greatness sounds like.
I wish I could find a video of Melanie's first Tonight Show appearance.
I love the way you seem so shy you are just so pretty like then and I'm sure you're just as pretty now I know I got old I wish time could stand still!
Raising my candle to you Melanie..will miss you so much!
still loving Melanie 2023
I was there at that moment, then. And just now, that moment jumped into my head and I sang the words and came here to find this upload so new.
I'll be your sister, your mother. your lover...

Melanie you are gorgeous but I disobeyed my late Mama's advice she said don't get old
Don’t get old, you’ll live to regret it!
My ex and I were going to remarry to this after 25yrs. Cancer took her. I have memories forever. Thank you.
Deeply sorry for your loss
And boy, did I love her.
This is just awesome. Thanks so much for posting. Love you.

There is no other female voice that touches e as much as hers!
Melanie Anne Safka has a flower child voice & appropriate corresponding mannerisms!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can't believe i never knew of her. She's my generation and she's so lovely, so true to her vision. I remember her song "I've got a pair of brand new rollerskates and you've got a brand new key" but never knew her face.
A face very sweet.
Oh My Goodness !...Dont know what else to say , because it seems that if I did (say anything) it could be taken wrong...and never would I hate the sweetheart of the universe' feelings
This song and Babe Rainbow are my favorites from Melanie
I have loved her music since I was about 3 :)
Listen to the way she holds a note at the end of a phrase. It's almost impossible to believe a human being can make a sound like that . And it's almost like she's not singing, but you still hear a sound. It's incredible.
Her voice is unbelievably sweet. In an interview, she never got excited or upset.
Melanie & Peter together again. RIP ❤
She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul and a beautiful voice. She made the world better. She is missed.
Johnny seemed so endearing. You could tell he was a fan too!
Is that why he called her "Melody" at the end?
Es ist erscheckend, daß das nun schon 51 Jahre her ist. Aber schön ist es trotzdem immer wieder.
Melanie was my very first inspiration to sing. Thanks Melanie. 💗
Rest in peace
What a voice, what a beautiful face.
Fabulous.
You have beautiful eyes and a great voice!
Beautiful.
oops..a typo....I must be nervous....lol anyways not hate but hurt down there
such a wholesome person
Beautiful song
This classy song is wasted on a talk show audience imo
❤❤❤❤
Wonderful
RIP 😞💕
What show was she on in 1962?
Didn't she debut at the old Woodstock folk festival? Yes!
Was that Sandy Duncan sitting by Melanie?
Beautiful song. Rest in peace.
Love this c
