Rest in peace sweet sweet Melanie. I have loved you since 1970 when I wore out a cassette tape of your 'Candles In The Rain' album by playing it a thousand times or more.
This is beautiful. Wish i had know it earlier, but hey, never to late.Thank you Melanie. Thank you Phonix for putting this amazing voice in a Wu-Tang remix.
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 first heard Melanie in late 1968 or 1969 and i have been in love with her since!! Makes me smile big time that your mom would have played this for you! Always good for me to make contact with someone who loves her as much as I do❤❤
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🙌🏻
Never heard of Wu-Tang I have been recording some old Melanie faves on to MP3 . Coming across a lot of songs I never heard before . This woman is a great talent ,she deserves so much more recognition . She has so many beautiful songs ,such as this song . Awsome . Great talent . Beautiful voice . ❤❤😂😂 Sydney Australia 🌏🦘 8/9/2023
I came here because I knew this song, but I came here because I was just dumped and this song has always resonated with me. Thanks for these deep lyrics and this gem of a song
What an amazing singer. Such a beautiful vocal. I only found Melanie because of Ren. In diving down the rabbit hole on his music I found Ren- Do you believe where he samples Melanie's corus. It was so captivating that I had to find out more from Melanie. czcams.com/video/EGgowW6AOyw/video.html
My bestie in high school - her dad used to play us Melanie. Wu-Tang next levels this, but, Melanie- like what a soul 🤍 She still believes in magic and the heart 💜💗🎶
thank you for this, made my day!! I have loved Melanie since the 1960's and it really makes my heart happy that you know who she is! I am thankful your besties dad was there to share her with you two. Thank you for your wonderful words❤❤🎶
@@Rowenth I have probably played this a thousand times. It moves me intensely. It says so much with a pretty simple lyric, it's her delivery, it magnifies the meaning..
Love that woman! There's no one like Melanie...no one! How many artist can sound this great with just a guitar? She's one of a kind, so glad she was in my life.
Shame on me! Cannot believe I was sleeping on this. I enjoy a good track, no matter what genre it is. Thanks Blazed music for opening the door to this great artist for me. Eternally grateful.
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
64 now and she never fails to make my spine tingle. Was a fan throughout my long military career which was a bit of an enigma given her anti war stance. Spine tingling now.
Hope you have a different view on war and military now, good sir! Don't take this as an offense, but war is never an answer. Hope you're doing well! =)
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.
God bless you for serving your country. My late husband was Air Force 20 years. Went to Vietnam for 2 tours. As a man you do what it takes to defend your country and our rights. 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.
***** Definitely! I envy myself too :D But I doubt she ever gets old for me, same as many other good musicians I've been listening my whole life! Just needs the right time to listen, good music never gets old ^^
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."
Melanie’s voice has been immensely important to me over the years. I’ve yet to properly define just how important, but I remain grateful for experiencing for all these years.
A real woman?!? I as a straight white male I won’t tolerate your gender stereotypes. “Real woman” give me a break! Shame on you masen nakonieczny if that is your REAL name.
I've listen this for the first time today, can't stop playing it... I got so overwhelmed that I cried! Oh boy, what have I been missing all these years!? Better late than never. I've become an instant fan!
After knowing her and being a fan for more than 40 years, I found this gem that I didn't know. So beautiful. For sure one of her best. I'm again thrilled with this great singer. What a talent; what a lady. Thanks for uploading

She still believes in magic and the heart 💜💗🎶

Used to listen to Melanie for hours on end, on 6 track tape, back in the 1970's. Loved her then. Love her now. Named our first born after her!!
She's so free when she sings . I love this
Услышал композицию wu tang и рад, что оригинал ещё забористей. Это просто божественно. Спасибо вам боги за этот ангельский голос !
3 years later the same tears 😅😢❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful song all the way down to the core.
I'm a huge Black Sabbath fan but when I listen to Melanie sing it just takes me to another place.
❤😊
Its for the CHILDREN ............WE ARE ALL THE CHILDREN.
RIP Melanie Safka 😢
I love these acoustic live recordings, so much better than the album versions. Same for Beautiful People.
This should have been a hit.
In my ears and my heart......Melanie is very special to me. I identify with her so much!
wasn't it?
@@ShaneKennedy1969 I don't really know. I think I was 12 at the time she did this.
@@Rowenth I have probably played this a thousand times. It moves me intensely. It says so much with a pretty simple lyric, it's her delivery, it magnifies the meaning..
Here because of Ren, and holy moly, how have I never heard this?? She's wonderful!
Meine tausen Daumen für die Sängerin und dieses Lied. Ja , auch jezt noch!
Magnifique magique ❤❤❤
Definitely one of the best live I have ever listen to.. I wish i was born earlier sometimes. What a pure talent...
Pretty sure that three year wait was worth every moment 😢
Magical ✨
I had this album and this was one of my fave songs.
I could listen to her all day...and frequently do :).
Love that woman! There's no one like Melanie...no one!
How many artist can sound this great with just a guitar? She's one of a kind, so glad she was in my life.

Damn I dance damn I love damn beauty Melanie Safka
Thanks for sampling this song Ren!
Loved hearing you in Ren’s song.. beautiful.. hearing the full song.. ♥️🎶♥️
I found this goddess from the Wu-Tang version. It's been a three year long search for the source. I can't believe I finally found you
Voice from an angel's angel
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

How the hell I didn't know her up to now!? She's awesome, in the last, without auto tune, that clear, that high! *super impressed*
+poorix3 .Hopefully you `ve listened to more since then . Many of we longtime fans will envy you .
***** Definitely! I envy myself too :D
But I doubt she ever gets old for me, same as many other good musicians I've been listening my whole life! Just needs the right time to listen, good music never gets old ^^
There`s always something special about the first time .She becomes more meaningfull as time goes by.
***** Yup, true! And I had that special first time moment ^^
I love this song and I love the way Melanie sings it.
Rip 😢❤
In tears when I listen to the song
Michael Jacobs i know Michael Jacobs, perfection isn't it
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."
i'm here because of Back in the game - Wu tang
❤❤❤❤
Goosebumps almost 50 years later
loved her way back when her songs kept me going. love her more even now.
anyone with a sense of music will love this song, her voice is so beautiful!! i listen to house music, grime drill etc, but this tops it all.
So pretty. Love Melanie forever
A lot of her music had this thing that happens where my tears well up and I can see things in my mind.
So haunting...will listen over and over again!
This song floors me every time I hear it
Melanie’s voice has been immensely important to me over the years. I’ve yet to properly define just how important, but I remain grateful for experiencing for all these years.
Everything about this is beautiful. The music, her voice, the way she looks. Everything.
Magic live performance
I'm thankful that I found myself here
So sincere.. I'm so into Melanie....today's performers should take notes...
❤
