I thought I had myself all figured out
But I've spent my whole life holding myself down
And it seems to be that sort of thing I keep doing constantly
Addicted to the pain I cause myself
My head is floating somewhere in the clouds
While I'm paid to entertain a lively crowd
They sing my songs and feel my pain cause pain is what creates my fame
A vicious cycle some day I'll get out

I can't believe I'm standing here at all I can't believe I made it this far
On my way with a smile on my face to the top and I'm not falling off
All I need is a microphone I'll sing about the things that have been hurting me 
It's safe to say all the kids I relate to their lives so just keep holding on

It's hard enough try walking in my shoes
To be picked on by my peers to much abuse
And I'm tired of not fitting in
True friends are my final wish just let me be myself and make it through
I have tried so hard to be a better soul
I have worked so hard at making myself whole
And through it all my better years are still ahead my mind is clear just trust me when I say I'm in control

I believe I'm just like you
I believe I'll make it through 
It's hard to see at times like this, I'm not giving in, I'm not giving in

MELANIE Do You Believe

Melanie Safka first attracted national attention when she stepped onto the stage at Woodstock. The summer of '69. As dawn broke, and rain began to fall, she performed on a stage that transformed a generation and changed music forever.

Angel Watching

"For the first time, I'm not afraid to voice exactly what I feel. I used to feel that I didn't want to say too much, but now I can say anything. I feel like a person who's never been heard. Maybe people think they've heard me, but they never really have. I'm a new artist who is having so much fun with my voice -- a person shouldn't be allowed to have so much fun. I'm the woman I wanted to be when I was sixteen and going for Edith Piaf. It's me -- I'm back."

Hushabye

Melanie is poised to enlighten new generations about what it means to sing with both passion and eloquence, to write at once with intelligence and emotion, and to inspire through song.

The Ballad of Crazy Love

'Here I Am'is to be found on Stoneground Words. Stoneground Words is in another class altogether -- a mature, intelligent and ambitious work, easily as good as most singer/songwriter fare of its time. 

Here I Am

Session recording from '77, Melanie's homage to Joan Armatrading who she says is her favourite songwriter.

MELANIE Down To Zero (J.Armatrading)

I look across to the waterline 
the shore ~ trees 
then sky knowing full well 
there's more 
when will I see the rest

MELANIE SAFKA Shy As A Violet

There are several unreleased Melanie songs in the 1972 songbook ANOTHER SIDE OF MELANIE. Thought I would try a few. Hope you find this one interesting. 1:28 length.

Love, a curse or a joy, I can't make up my mind, it's music in the day but lonely in the night
I walked out to the sea with all it's tempting foam. I drowned when the waves came in, but I never drowned again.
I can't make up my mind. I can't make up my mind. Love, a curse of a joy? I can't make up my mind.

Curse Or A Joy - written by Melanie Safka {::::lyrics::::}
