I’m not a trained musician and my husband [Peter Schekeryk] was the producer, he was mostly the person who communicated to the band, who were all guys,” Melanie recalls. She had production ideas, she tells me, but with little familiarity with the language of music, she had a hard time articulating them. Not so, however, with her counter-offering Some Say (I Got Devil) from side two of Gather Me, a subversive response to the bubblegum pop hit everyone is familiar with. “That’s Morrissey’s favourite, he did a version of it recently,” Melanie says. I’m not surprised. “Some have tried to sell me / all kinds of things to save me / from hurting like a woman,” she sings with an intoxicating mixture of desire and weariness. Subversive lyrics which go some way towards highlighting Gather Me’s often dark and radical beauty. Whitburn, Joel (2007). Joel Whitburn Presents Billboard Top Adult Songs (1961–2006).

( April 2022) Joy, in fact, might be the key to Melanie. Like the girl in the "Red Shoes" ballet who couldn't stop dancing even when her feet gave out, it might not be possible for Melanie to stop singing even if her voice did collapse. There is such a vital warmth and such aggressiveness to her singing that, even though she's not in the same league with either Laura Nyro or Carole King as a songwriter, there is a joyous response in the ears of her listeners. Melanie is fun to have around, and this new album is her best to date.The song is also heard in Family Guy season 20, episode 18, "Girlfriend, Eh?". [27] The Voice [ edit ]
