Awww... she was a sweet soul. 😢

R.I.P., Melanie. 23 January 2024

While "Brand New Key' and others may have been the 'hits', to me this was/is very special, same as her.
Goosebumps, every time. Still.

»I'd like to be clear but the words are old
First person songs about second hand roles
I'd like to play you one this time I'd like to explain
But all I do is play my heart and soul out and do a dance for rain

Let it rain rain rain
Let it rain
All I do is play my heart and soul out and do a dance for rain

You know they looked at my heart and then they looked at my head
They pulled my worlds apart and they left them for dead
But I'd like to give you one this time I'd really like to explain
And all I do is play my heart and soul out and do a dance
I do a dance for rain

So, let it rain rain rain
Let it rain
All I do is play this heart and soul out and do a dance for rain

I'd like to give you one this time I'd really like to explain
But all I do is play my heart and soul out and do a dance for rain

Oh, let it rain rain rain
Let it rain
All I do is play my heart and soul out and do a dance
I do a dance for rain

Let it let it rain let it rain let it rain let it rain
All I do is play this heart and soul out and do a dance for rain

Let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, oh...«
