| Melanie Safka Schekeryk....when I hear that name, one thing comes to mind, music. Yes, Melanie sang and wrote and played music, but there was something else about this flower child's songs and lyrics that stand out from other listenings. It was her power behind her music. Each and every song was crammed with spiritual awakenings, whether it be The Summer Of Love, or I Will Get Over, or the catchy Brand New Key. It isn't like these pop fads now-a-days. Melanie was in her music and she put her heart and mind in every word of her lyrics. So the next time you hear the name Melanie Safka, or even Melanie, you won't think of just an ordinary living-in-the-past hippy, you will know that she was, and still is, the maker of spiritual music. |
