Melanie - Lay Down Candles in the Rain w/the Edwin Hawkins Singers......

[msongs]

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile
At the ones who stand and frown

We were so close, there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace

So raise candles high
'Cause if you don't we could stay black against the night
Oh, raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain

Lay down, lay down, lay it all down
Let your white birds smile
At the ones who stand and frown

1. That never gets old. Thanks. NT

2. I liked her music (except for that stupid roller skate song)!

I never thought anybody could ever top Jimi Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower," but she did an absolutely KILLER cover of it that just totally made my jaw drop! Listening to it, you could've knocked me over with a toothpick!

And I can NOT find it!! I heard it once on a satellite radio channel, and since then, I have searched the Internet --high and low--for it. YouTube doesn't have it. Her music website doesn't show it anywhere, on her albums or any other recordings; and the radio station I heard it on comes up blanks. I know I didn't imagine it, but it's not out there ANYWHERE that I can find! And it was SO. DAMN. GOOD!!

4. Nope, it was "All Along The Watchtower".

5. Hope you find and share it someday then...

I know she had a concert with the Watchtower being sung by someone else. But I could give you herself singing "Stairways to Heaven" and "Whiter Shade of Pale", so why not?

6. I wish Melanie would do a flash mob with big giant choir

aw that would be GREAT
