Remembering Melanie Safka

(February 3, 1947-January 23, 2024)

"What Have They Done to My Song Ma" is a song written and performed by #MelanieSafka. It was released in 1970 as the B-side of Melanie's "#RubyTuesday" single and included on the album #CandlesInTheRain. The single reached the number 39 in the United Kingdom and peaked within the top 20 in Norway and the #Wallonia region of Belgium. Other artists have recorded it as "Look What They've Done to My Song Ma", after the song's first line.

When I tell you they're #StupidAccordionTricks, it's because sometimes they really are. I was invited to play #BrandNewKey to the roller derby association in 2008, and I revisited it 16 years later to memorialize its maker, #MelanieSafka.

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller-skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone, but you've got something I need

RIP Melanie Safka

If she didn't do anything else in her life, this would have been enough.

But she did go on to write other songs, Brand New Key, Look What They've Done to My Song, etc.

I've also edited this to include other things she had done in her life - she was a spokeperson for UNICEF and founded Neighborhood Records - the first independent female-owned record company.

A life well-lived.

Sad to see that #MelanieSafka has died. I love “Lay Down”, after being introduced to it by the wonderful #KeGrivois and his amazing cover.

Rest in peace, Melanie.

Wonderful songs, a unique voice. I first encountered her songs as a young teenager in the 70s: my brother had a tape recorded from radio. I went back to those songs at various points, with affection. A true singer, a special voice.

Mince, Melanie est décédée, je n'avais pas vu passer l'info. ☹️ Quand j'entends le mot « hippie », c'est toujours elle qui me vient à l'esprit, avec cet idéalisme un peu naïf mais irrésistiblement attachant. #RIP #Melanie #MelanieSafka

"So, raise the 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"

"And hey, baby, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind"

"I came across this clip recently but sadly it had no audio so I tried reading Melanie's lips but to no avail, I couldn't figure out what it was.
So I rang my friend reynardinerob and asked him to have a look and lo and behold he cracked it and so I was able to dub it with some sounds!" - Sky Vibes

Gitaar spelen als Melanie, zingen als Melanie , haren hebben als Melanie, Melanie zijn ...ik wilde het als meisje allemaal. Hoe vaak zou ik in de jaren 60/70 mijn lp gedraaid hebben?
Éen grote herinnering #rip #MelanieSafka
