@@vibesinthesky Yes sadly I'm old enough to remember Bobby Darin and Tim Harding doing it, long before Melanie. I wonder why it was never released and only the acetate seems to remain. Personally I like the clicks and pops and slightly scratchy sound. I know I'm biased but Melanie has been the music I always turn to since Born to Be. And Something Warm will carry me into my next life. I've been told the title isn't exactly compatible with a cremation. But the song certainly is, I'll be smiling if that's the case.
With her versions of songs like this their poetry, I've never understood how people dismissed the music as bubblegum. Now I discovered her music in the 90's so I 'wasn't there' to see radio, critical reception in real time, but I appreciate her Brand New Key just as well as the heart-wrenching works of her catalog. Lyrics in a song like this just tell her own journey of fame and then die-hard fans that take the time to join her in all genres and styles that are performed in the unique way that only Melanie can deliver. Thank you for posting this with performance footage, just incredible as always 💜 I've had the privilege to see her live four times one of which was a Christmas show on the Kent stage early on with her son Beau and it was joyful to watch her joy in her performance and love of the season. One of the few times I was star struck meeting a musician years before. I literally had no words but thank you as she signed one of my records. Melanie is a treasure and I wish more people knew about her deep, poetic timeless music. All love and respect 💜
Oh mi gosh - I had no idea the singer was Melanie until I read the comment about Brand New Key (which I always liked). Great rendition of a great song.
i love the music of Melanie and i must confess i love her early works the most My father tuning my guitar left over wine etc but this one is great love y Melanie
Melanie may not have realized at the time she first performed this song, but she saw something that is now taking place so many years later. Her music speaks for itself through her heartfelt and sincere delivery. Melanie is truly a Futurist and speaks the truth. Just listen closely to words.
THIS SONG had a huge impact on me. I am presently uploading my cassette recordings from 1972-2002 and realize that i wrote many great songs in an unusually diverse and unrepetitive style. A local artist was interviewed around the same time explaining how chasing success in the music biz was just beating your head against a wall and then signing away your rights and hours (and life) where you got 5% of the profits you generate. I opted out. My heart was broken anyway, many times, by the nature of life. But i am THANKFUL that i did not waste my life in a SISYPHUS effort that would have crushed me. Melanie succeeded but was also crushed by this greedy interface between our love and someone's unearned dollars. What a nasty f***ing burden. :(
no one will ever touch melanie safka in the history of this countries music.as well as other countries on the planet.oh and lets not forget the other planets.wow thank god she's still around . she is the only singer that could sing and write songs today.and always will be

@powwie1 Glad if it's some help / comfort to you ... there are a few more Melanie videos on my channel just do a youtube search for Melanie vibesintheky
Well, jeez.... the song isn't just about the nicotine and alcohol, though! It concerns the achievement of success, the struggle to maintain it and the regrets that come in sacrificing the former person you once were... weighed against the experiences that have changed you along the way...
Melanie was proof that the human voice is an instrument that can't be replicated.
So true ❤
She was great, love her voice, lucky to have her music, to stay in our hearts.
I needed to hear this again tonight. Melanie at her finest. No one is as close to her perfection, the greatest singer songwriter of my lifetime.
You probably already know this Robert that Melanie didn’t write this song, but she does make it her own.

@@vibesinthesky Similarly with "Ruby Tuesday" and others.
Yes! Totally agree!
I'm 67. Melanie has occupied my heart since I was 13. I love this version of Phil Ochs song.
Especially moving as we now honor Melanie's life--this is so her story
Originally done by the songwriter Phl Ochs. I love this version.
PUT MELANIE IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!! Cheers\=/\=/
AGREE!

Beautiful song
Been a fan of hers for 42 years, have 5 of her records and I didn't even know this existed. Nice! Thanks for posting
Melanie's beautiful cover of Phil Ochs' classic ballad was on her album, "The Good Book."
I loved Phil Ochs,but Melanie owns this great song,a great tribute to Phil,love Melanie forever
Got to say Phil Ochs hits the 'god help the troubadour' line much better
Amazing
Oh mi gosh - I had no idea the singer was Melanie until I read the comment about Brand New Key (which I always liked). Great rendition of a great song.
Here's an improved quality version David ua-cam.com/video/BQeDpAwsKmU/v-deo.html

i love the music of Melanie and i must confess i love her early works the most My father tuning my guitar left over wine etc but this one is great love y Melanie

Melanie was always so sweet!

Melanie is truly a Futurist and speaks the truth.
Just listen closely to words.
Tm 96 I agree Melanie makes the song her own but it was actually written by Phil Ochs
I love you, Phil.
Thanks for restoring this

In 1972 (showing my age) Melanie was my celebrity crush and, while her place has now been taken by Rihanna, I still think she is wonderful.
no one will ever touch melanie safka in the history of this countries music.as well as other countries on the planet.oh and lets not forget the other planets.wow thank god she's still around . she is the only singer that could sing and write songs today.and always will be

Better advice than ever and sadly more ignored. Melanie is always beautiful though.
@crazycrow76 you're welcome - there's 4 or 5 other Melanie songs on my channel - just scroll down the uploads to find them. Enjoy!
Looks Great
Gracias por esta dulce musica en estos momentos dificiles,valores humanos .
This song could have been written for Melanie. No-one sings it better.
geez she is so pretty
Do happen to have Leftover Wine from this same festival?
great job 🎶🎶🎶god bless the liberals AND Phil Ochs x
Reporters ask you questions
And they write down what you say
Yeh, they do. And they write down what you don't say too.
@powwie1 Glad if it's some help / comfort to you ... there are a few more Melanie videos on my channel just do a youtube search for Melanie vibesintheky
l keep my song
You don't happen to have the rest of this concert do you??
Fater M.S. - Savka. but for...
a bottle of gin and a cigarette- different chemicals, but sounds like Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, how many more?
Well, jeez.... the song isn't just about the nicotine and alcohol, though! It concerns the achievement of success, the struggle to maintain it and the regrets that come in sacrificing the former person you once were... weighed against the experiences that have changed you along the way...
