    the first time I listened to this song as a toddler, my mother played it to me. loved it from the first time I heard it. every time I listen to this song, I get shivers and tears in my eyes...for me, the most beautiful song ever written, and it is unlikely that no one, except Melanie, will sing it better.
    It is a great pity that Melanie's music, for most young people, is not known :(

      I found her from the Wu/Phonics remix of “back in the game” & her voice was so hauntingly good that I went to WhoSampledWho & found her … my God this song is so poignant I want it played at my burial. I think Lana could do a serviceable cover as her 2010 style was echoing Melanie’s vibe a bit, but even the great Lizzy Grant couldn’t paint this song better than Melanie did … it was more than just another song for her- she poured HER SOUL into this- it shows🙌🏻

    Yes I blame Ren but there is a story behind it. Sometimes life is really weird and throws you a curve ball.
    About a week ago on a trans Facebook group someone was asking the difference between first and second puberty and I posted two pictures, one of Melanie and one of Ren and said First puberty crush verses Second puberty crush. Two artists both known by their first names. Than sitting here listening to random music this afternoon up popped something I had no idea existed Do You Believe by Ren with the chorus by Melanie. Mind Blown 🤯

      Not at all. The military fights for free speech and people who rally against what We ( I was in) do. But, then again that is why we do it it, so they can. I loved my time in. I respect those who serve and served. I respect those who practice the free speech that can be rude to hateful at times. Its all about free speech and so much more.

You don't ask why, you just do what is asked of you. I am very proud of my Father, Father in Law, Bothers, Husband and myself for our military histories. Service goes way back further in our families. So all that to say, I appreciate you and am happy you made it home and am proud of you. Take care. And I'm 63 and have Loved Melanie since I first heard her sing. She has a amazing talent.

    Do you believe it's morning
    I'm alive but that's the last thing on my mind
    If our nighttime words mean good-bye
    Let our morning words be kind
    Didn't your eyes say you'd never change your mind
    Didn't my eyes say I do believe your eyes
    I do believe them, I do believe your eyes
    I lose vision once in awhile
    We all got grounded at the start
    But I still believe in magic
    It comes from seeing with the heart
    I do believe it, I do believe my eyes
    I do believe it, the magic's in our eyes
    I went to bed at sunrise
    Now I'll sleep the whole day through
    My eyes will open to the darkness
    And in the darkness will be you
    And in the darkness my only light is you
    And in the darkness the light is in your eyes
    I do believe, I do believe your eyes
    I do, the light is in your eyes
    Repeat

      Just amazing. The first time I heard this song I was young and had just broken a relationship. Boy did it ever resonate in me!

      Michael Jacobs It touched something within me. and reminded me of a post relationship, and I was in tears as well. It's why I posted it.

      "past"relationship.

      Michael Jacobs Reminded me of a past*relationship. Especially when she says, "
      I went to bed at sunrise. Now I'll sleep the whole day through. My eyes will open to the darkness. and in the darkness, will be you. And in the darkness, my only light is you."
