This wasn't on

the original release of the album "Photograph" by Melanie. Music and lyrics by Melanie. It was a track recorded at the time circa 1976 and released as bonus material on a 2005 reissue. One hell of a bonus. David Paich on piano. This has a feel that could easily be covered by country performers like The Dixie Chicks (their harmonies could be a great way to cover this song along with possibly trading leads) and Amanda Shires (it would be nice for her to do it laid back a little with just her voice and her violin) would be excellent to work on this song.



Here is Melanie live showing how the song can be done in a different way.
