The curse of living a long life is to see people you admire and respect leave this world.....peace be with you sweet lady....the world is a little darker without your bright light....
I lost a dear friend last week. Every time we lose someone, a relationship ends, and that branch of life of our life ends. The longer we live, the fewer branches we have!! 😢
We were sitting around a campfire in Finland in 1973. Everything was dark around us and then someone turned on the radio. The Nickel Song with Melanie and Me And Bobby Mc Gee with Janis Joplin was playing. I'll never forget that, because I was high up north with my German girlfriend-the time didn't matter and lots of mosquitoes were flying. I was in a sauna for the first time even with a lake .This year I was back in Finland after 50 years-more south and when I came to Germany I heard the "Nickelsong" on UA-cam .I got a little sad because my youth with which I associate this song is over and my girlfriend, my later wife, died of cancer. When the tracks played, I cried.
I went into the Army in April '69, four months before Woodstock. When I heard Melanie for the first time, I fell in love with her and her music. I got married in 1976, and our first child was a little girl. The first name I thought of was Melanie, and my wife agreed. I am so tankful for her and the woman she's turned out to be.
I graduated from high school in 1972. But, I was a Melanie fan since the 9th grade. Actually, what caught my attention was the song, I Don't Eat Animals. I know Melanie is no longer a vegetarian, and I'm not either, though I was for 12 years. But, I still love her and her music.
Dear sweet Melanie, I was just 12 years old in 71 when I first heard this wonderful song and went and bought the 45 to play on my harmony kardon lp player. Thanks for such wonderful MEANINGFUL songs. I'm so sad that God called you home A few weeks ago. This world is a bit orphaned now without your lovely folk songs. Rest well dear Melanie 😢❤
RIP Melanie. Heaven sent you to this fickle world at a time when the world needed peace. The same peace and kindness and love that you sang about with John Lennon, Johnny Cash, and so many other great talents. Now that the world is right back where it was when your angelic face and voice first appeared on the scene to help raise awareness to a better world you were called back to heaven. Safe journey home Melanie. Thank you for making the world a lot better while you were in it.
@@jefferyanderson70 the Sweet weren't bad either, saw under some motorway with Hawkwind headlining.,they (Sweet) were bottled / booed initially. free, of course.
I was shut away in a an old stately home wiv locks & keys & rules & regs,a home 4 naughty girls & boys, but there was an old record player that no-one else seemed interested in...& Thankfully a Melanie ,a Dylan, The animals , Wishbone Ash, & a few earlier Albums...I was allowed 2hrs at a stretch to indulge myself in some Melanie , tbf They truly kept me going...I think I learnt every word..xx
Lord, this sweet lady will truly be missed.❤She was so beautiful. It just affirms how old I'm getting! Growing up in that time period, I remember going around with one of her hits stuck in my head. " I got a brand new pair of roller skates. You got a brand new key." R.I.P. my dear lady.
I knew it! Thought that was hers! Loved that song. I was 11 in 71. I don't remember this one but we roller skated with our church youth group all the time. Now I have to go add that to my faves. Thank you🙏🏼🥰🛼
I often think her songs were dismissed as lightweight or twee, but they really do have a depth and urgency that hasn't aged with time along with lyrics that are just as relevant today as they were 50 odd years ago . A more innocent age of wide eyed wonderment that this world badly needs more of today. RiP Melanie 🙏
Such a beautiful lady. Fantastic singer-songwriter. I met her after a gig in Manchester about 15 years ago and she was so sweet, signed all my albums as well.
I am an old man now...I guess.... But if I could be reborn...and live my life again: I would do everything in my power to capture the heart of this fabulous woman. To hear she has passed has broken my heart....... Another piece of devastation to me. Another....
I was fifteen in 1970 and my conditioning gave me great optimism for the future. Now I wonder what the hell happened and just feel a deep disappointment. Notice today there are no protest songs even though things are worse, odd.
RIP Melanie. Your voice was so definite and distinctive. Thank you for your music and your contributions to humanity through your fabulous songs! Beautiful People and Lay Down are supreme. Brand New Key and your magnificent version of Ruby Tuesday were excellent!🕯️
🕯Rest in peace, Mel.🕯 You made a musical impression on our age. Tough to do, in a fickle industry where women were stigmatized & often dismissed. Thanks for songs that will always remind us all of what seemed like simpler times. ♡
Just learned of her leave-taking. Beyond sad, I loved her music- her passing marks the end of an era for me as we were nearly the same age. I will miss this gentle soul.
I'm a teenager all over again listening to her songs. My friends and I would sing this and so many other songs when we'd be camping in the Adirondacks, the 1000 Islands and all over upstate New York and the surrounding areas.
So many amazing female singers back then... Janis, Grace, Sandy Denny, Ann Wilson of Heart, Melanie could match every single one of them. This woman and her music will live forever ❤️
That a fact so many great entertainers/musicians are leaving this world for heaven. Makes me listen to their music that much more. Sometimes shedding a few tears too.
@cawilson5357 same here. I get so absorbed in the many works of each one and listen continuously. God bless them all and many thanks for the wonderful performances they left for us!! 💔
Last year I met a woman who had been named after her because her mother had been a fan of Melanie's. And so she could tell her mother she had met another Melanie fan: me!
I was at the Isle of Wight festival in 1970/71 where I heard Melanie for the first time!! Oh my goodness. When I got home I went to town and bought her LPs. Brilliant.
Always loved this beautiful lady's voice and she definitely had one. She along with many other artists that i grew up with are leaving us much too often. I'll play her music a lot more now to honor this gem!!!
This song reminds me of a perfect trip that I took to Clearwater and Clearwater Beach back in 1972 because that is when I first heard it. We were driving along and this cute, bouncy, little song came on the radio and it seemed appropriate because the area was full of parking meters and Melanie singing about having a nickel fit right in. It would be cool to live there and I look forward to driving along the Clearwater Beach causeway while listening to beautiful Melanie melodies! 🙂
These songs performed brilliantly by Melanie are just as great today (2023) I was enchanted by her talent and charm the first time I heard her singing years ago and admire, respect and cherish this lovely lady today, praying that she’s enjoying being one of the worlds most beloved musicians!
It broke my heart to learn that she had passed. Im so glad I found this YT site. I still have her albums from the 70’s, but no turntable. I loved her music. The world is a little darker without her.
A song doesn't have to be so heavy that it can carry the weight of the world. Sometimes a song can be light yet so deep that it stands on its own for many years and decades. The Nickle Song is one of those.
I named my first daughter Melanie after I saw Melanie in concert in Tasmania and a friend sang a Melanie song in 2018 at my daughters funeral service 😢❤
She's got a beautiful voice, brings tears to my eyes.. I've never heard this song before, I've heard brand new key, but not this one.. I'm glad I ran across it and I'm saving it
Am listening to this over 2 years in a global pandemic and a war and attack on Ukraine. This song is even more relatable today. Thank you to Melanie for writing this beautiful song. Melanie gives me hope that the world we live in can still be a beautiful place amongst these difficult times. 💖
I just love you Melanie you bring such wonderful memories for me as a teenager I still have your record I had bought, Alexander Beetle I dedicated to my Dad whom his name is Alexander xo thank you for the memories God Bless
And Melanie would tell you as she did the world that's was one of her number one problems. The world was not ready for a CUTE CHERUB like smiling all the time face. They as in THE WORLD refused her entrance into serious player. Sadly she was right. But equally wonderful those of us WHO DID FIND HER and saw her depth beyond cuteness understood her sole and was rewarded a million fold by her true beauty and talent. A better world for those of us who saw past that CUTE. RIP beloved lady. Prayers to your family.
When I was a child, parents of four kids in our neighborhood traded off carpooling to school, and I distinctly remember Melanie on the AM radio and one mother would tap the accelerator in time with the song, giving quite the ride in the back seat. Wonderful sounds to this day.
THE FIRST TIME I HEARD MELANIE SING , WAS ON THE WOODSTOOK FESTIVAL DOUBLE ALBUM. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR NATURAL TALENT. THAT WAS LONG TIME AGO...45 YEARS AGO! ✌😎
i loved her music in the 70,s, but had forgotten her, am 70 now am so happy to have found her again,,she is beautiful,,thank god for youtube, even with its faults
I came out school a lot earlier and this# amused us then the voice and the words and beat it crossed the water and we enjoyed it here in U.K. Slap the table and raise a beer
The curse of living a long life is to see people you admire and respect leave this world.....peace be with you sweet lady....the world is a little darker without your bright light....
the upside is you see your enemies go to hell first
All minds are connected.
@@mafirearmsafety That sounds like hell to me. The world is a mirror.
News of her passing leaves a big hole in my heart.
I lost a dear friend last week. Every time we lose someone, a relationship ends, and that branch of life of our life ends. The longer we live, the fewer branches we have!! 😢
Incredible that this recording is 53 years old! It sounds so fresh. RIP Melanie. Sound track of my childhood.
RIP Melanie Thank you for all the beautiful music
1971 I was 15. I remember her music. Very popular musician. She’ll be missed
Who knew she was still living ?
1956 was a good year. Thanks be for video. I never saw her like. She carries a lot of love with her
I was born in 1969, but can remember my dad playing all her songs. My dad passed away in 2019 still loving her songs.
Best year to be born.

Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.
The circle of life.

Yep...lifes a box of chocolates.Hang in there. Greetings from South Australia. 🦘🦘🍺🍺
Your experience has echoes for us all … respect
Damn brother.......hopefully you will see her again

Nice Story about your daugthers Name ♥️
🥰🌹🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍
Lg.aus Hannover. 🥰
Its June 2023 and I’ve just found a lot of Mel’s songs, playing as I write this. Too think she is only 11 months older than I.
I graduated high school in '71. We understood this song then and we're still waiting for the world to catch up. So great!
I also graduated in 71 and I love me some Melanie
I graduated from high school in 1972. But, I was a Melanie fan since the 9th grade.
Actually, what caught my attention was the song, I Don't Eat Animals. I know Melanie is no longer a vegetarian, and I'm not either, though I was for 12 years. But, I still love her and her music.
I graduated in '77, but I got it then, too.
Me too. Prace
me too !

I had forgotten how many wonderful songs she had. She was very talented. Thank you Melanie.
Yesss!!❤
Fifty years later, this song is still relevant. Aside from the angelic voice, Melanie's insight is my favorite part of her music.
This is great, I thought no one could get close to as good as Nana Mouskouri's version of this song but Melanie did, WOW!
It'll be relevant for 150 to 500 more years or so.
Excellent song writer and singer. This song is 50 years old and still as good as ever.
Melanie Safka: beautiful voice, beautiful face. I've been a fan since I was 11-tears' old!
Rest Your Soul in Peace,
Melanie ☮️🌸☮️🌹
She can fill up the stage, just herself and her guitar. That's a true performer.
@Genna Tuelz - If a person is blind & has good hearing, does it matter the physical size of the performer?
@Genna Tuelz Do you really think she's fat? Or is that a slang for 'AWESOMELY BEAUTIFUL'?
@@donandlorikowalchuk4840 Don't ask what he thinks. He doesn't!!!
@Genna Tuelz Asshole.

Those were the days my friend...and it seems a better time🤟🏼✌️
It was a better time. Not everything was good but Alot better than what things are now. How I miss the good ole days.
Killer voice and Bambi eyes 😍
I got the time machine cranked up and ready...if I don't come back, don't try to find me.
Oh my gosh...I was about 16 or 17 when I first heard Melanie, bought the album. I had a huge crush on her. Old man now, still love her.
From a guy your own age...you have good taste!
I was younger then you 😆 lol 1960 love this old music 🎶 🤣 😂 😄 😆
me too
So am I. Weird voice but a lovley bird. I guess we`re both old weirdos my friend.
@jett woodward You`re welcome in the weirdo club my friend...
Good Lord ----What a voice !!!!! loved her music since the early 70's !
This is one of my favorite songs by Melanie. So sad to hear of her passing. May she rest in peace.

Don't forget Karen Carpenter
Rest in peace Melanie ! Thank you for all your songs
She was a unique performer, amazing songwriter and singer, I loved her music and played it a lot.
This young lady could fill all of heaven with her voice and the angels would stand up and take notice. What a blessing to have met her.❤
RIP at 76. 1-23-24
They're all starting to pass away... Adios Melanie. Rock & Roll Heaven's got one more, in a hell of a band.
That a fact so many great entertainers/musicians are leaving this world for heaven. Makes me listen to their music that much more. Sometimes shedding a few tears too.

Miss you.Thanks for your music Loved you at Woodstock you made me happy on that weekend I will never forget ☮️
Melanie always sang dollar songs and we, the listeners, are always the winners.
Thanks Michael!
Michael Wilkerson - You got that right. She never really got the recognition she so deserved. Wow, what a unique beautiful voice.
Love Melanie's songs. Named my daughter after her in the 70's.😊
Named my daughter after her too in the 80s...
Oh I wonder if that's where mum got my middle name. She got my first from a MASH actor.

You had a good run, Melanie. We will never forget you.
Gosh she’s pretty. And a damn good singer to boot!
She's 70 now and still recognizably Melanie

She's an old bag now. Mudduck, Jus' say'n ✌
Leopoldo Chatz Mata - She is? Well, thanks for telling me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known.
Leopoldo Chatz Mata : Thanks for pointing that out, asshole. 🖕And get the fuck out of our country.
THE FIRST TIME I HEARD MELANIE SING , WAS ON THE WOODSTOOK FESTIVAL DOUBLE ALBUM.
I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH YOUR NATURAL TALENT.
THAT WAS LONG TIME AGO...45 YEARS AGO!

RIP, Melanie - thanks so much for so many beautiful musical memories.
Saw her at the Topsfield fair in 69. It was great to see her!!!!
The voice of an angel very unique and powerful
In 1972 I was 13 and the biggest crush on Melanie. My parents got me her album and I still have it! And I still play her music.
Love anything Melanie Safka sings, but super love for "Lay Down "
All time favorite.
Yeah that version of Lay Down with the Edwin Hawkins Singers pretty much rips my heart out
i loved her music in the 70,s, but had forgotten her, am 70 now am so happy to have found her again,,she is beautiful,,thank god for youtube, even with its faults
Saw her several times in London..absolutely delightful performer. xx
Thank you so much, wish you were still with us !!!
man i just fouled up my eyesight listening to this😭 I was 12yrs done in '71
Fantastic voice I put in a 🌝nickle to hear melanie sing a dollar song any time 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸😀😀😀👍
I'd put in a dollar to hear a nickel song. I've always liked "Brand New Key"
I came out school a lot earlier and this# amused us then the voice and the words and beat it crossed the water and we enjoyed it here in U.K. Slap the table and raise a beer
Amazing voice, so glad I found Melanie so far into the future. And the songs are timeless
