Candles' in the rain-- War-Zonals' driving the shadow O'er forever comes the pain. I bought this album when just released, an advantage of working in the only record shop in my hometown in Australia on Saturday mornings and Thursday nights when I was in high school. I had the best job of all my mates. I still have this album (and about 300 others) that I bought through this time. All still immaculate condition but still regularly listened to, looked after and treasured. you cant ask for more than that as an artist.
1970s Candles in the Rain was Melanie Safka's third album, but while her first two LPs found her trying to make a coherent whole out of her grab bag of influences and ideas, this was where she seemed to truly hit the mark for the first time. While "Lay Down" was easily the most effective track on Candles in the Rain, the rest of the album found Melanie sounding more confident and expressive than ever before - there's a emotional gravity to "Citiest People" and "Leftover Wine" that's compelling even when she pushes a little to hard for pathos, and "What Have They Done to My Song.
Candles in the Rain is singer Melanie's third album. Released in 1970, the album produced Melanie's first Top Ten single in North America, "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)", which was inspired by the crowd's reaction to her performance at Woodstock. The cover of the Rolling Stones' 1967 song "Ruby Tuesday" reached the Top Ten in the United Kingdom. All songs written by Melanie Safka except where noted. Candles in the Rain" 1:42.
almost 50 years since I first heard this record and even today Melanie's voice still gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes. if you have never heard "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" or her cover of "Ruby Tuesday", do yourself a favor and listen to this. No one has said anything yet. In Library (1).

Watch Melanie sing Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) live with the Edwin Hawkins Singers. A year after Woodstock, there was a little known festival in Connecticut called Powder Ridge that got canceled at the last minute by the local authorities. I was actually there and you were the only name artist who played. What do you remember about that? I was ready to leave. I was living in New Jersey and I heard on the radio it’s canceled. We made calls and, No, don’t come. Any performer who’s caught here will be arrested.
22-year-old Melanie Safka was one of the more unlikely performers at Woodstock in 1969. Speaking of how she wrote (Lay Down) Candles In The Rain, Melanie says, I left that field with that song in my head, the anthemic part. The lyrics speak to the sense of community that washed over Safka on that magical night. It was this incredible flow of human power being directed toward me, she says. And I got to see the hillside light up like so many fireflies. Melanie got some assistance on the song from the Edwin Hawkins Singers, who had their own gospel hit with their arrangement of Oh Happy Day two years earlier.
