      Great collaboration, i had only knew three songs by Melanie, Lay Down, Brand new Key and Look What they Done, when i found her live at Woodstock performance of Birthday of The Sun, i was blown away, i found endless appearances that she made on talk shows like The Tonight Show and Mike Douglas. What a voice, now i find this with Miley, i have to say i now look a Miley in a new light. Keep on performing Melanie, bring your light and brighten up these dark times we are living in.

I saw Miley and Melanie's backyard performance several years ago and was so thrilled with it that I went back and found all the Melanie songs I grew up with and loved so much. I'm truly sorry to hear that Melanie passed. She brought such joy to so many of us. She had a beautiful voice, was an amazing songwriter, and seemed to almost glow with a goodness that I always looked up to as the true hippie chick. Rest in peace Melanie. You will be loved forever and missed greatly. Now Beautiful People is calling me and I've Got A Brand New Pair of Roller skates is whizzing through my brain right now! Love you always Melanie 🕊💐🕊

I was fifteen and not on any drugs. I'm sure that I was not the only one. A half-a-million people there and you could hear a pin drop that night.There was no rowdiness or people screaming during performances. .Melanie, if you ever come across this: Thank You.

    I grew up listening to Melanie , and my daughter grew up with Miley, ( she loves them both actually) but when I saw this tonight it made my whole night s thousand times better!
    We have had a lot of losses, and the grief has been such a struggle, when I send her this tonight , it will be the best medicine I could ever imagine!
    Thanks to both of you, that was a fun light hearted treat in a way too serious world!

    My uncle was born in 54 and was placed in a mental facility at age 12 by my grandma. He was given electro shock treatment to "fix" his brain for being gay. He was a zombie for weeks after that... My grandma never forgave herself for sending him there. My uncle beat the odds and ended up being very successful, incredibly intelligent, and one of my heroes. He just passed away this year and this song reminds me of him, hank you for this song

      ..i don't mean any disrespect to Miley with my original expectation.. she's got a great voice, it's just whenever someone sings someone else's song with the original, I don't expect them to be able to keep up with the original artist in terms of feeling in the voice.

    So my memory of your song is my Ma playing this in our car and we sang to it . I was a child. Lois dropped out of high school to model for Eileen Ford at 15 , was all round Buddha (not even knowing what a Buddha was) . She died at 45 from breast cancer . This song (for me) is for all the lights among us that shine and burn and must say farewell . Thank you for writing this song that Lois and I used to sing in the car (beat up Chevy Impala mind you )
