May ‘70……just got back from Vietnam where I had bought a mini cassette recorder. The first song I recorded off off my dad’s car radio was “Lay Down.” I played it over and over again. It was mesmerizing. Still have the recorder and the mini cassette. Thank you for your song and talent Melanie. RIP.

I was 17 when this song came out and my best friend was 19. She became my sister in law that year and we were best friends/SILs for 48 years until her untimely death from cancer several years ago. I can still see us in my powder blue VW Beetle, our hippie hair flying singing this song at the top of our lungs. RIP Susie and Melanie.

I just decided to hear "Lay down (candles in the Rain)" by Melanie and found out that she passed away in January 24, 2024. How sad, she was so talented and such a cute girl she reminded me of myself I also still wear my hair the same as hers. Those were wonderful days that I'll never forget. My condolences to her children and family. RIP Melanie.

It was 1971, I was 31 years old, a low almost suicidal point in my life after I got out of the service. I drove up to Topanga Canyon above Malibu and stopped at the Corral. A young lady asked me to play this song on the jukebox. We chatted and in the end she changed my life. Strange but true. Joanne McDonald....here's to you where ever you are!

I’m 78 years old. This song still gives me chills. Today I read Melanie has passed. I am so lucky to have grown up with her music..
