Gather Me

Product Information

Christgau, Robert (December 30, 1971). "Consumer Guide (22): Melanie: Gather Me". The Village Voice . Retrieved 18 November 2011. During the 16th season of American Idol, contestant Maddie Poppe performed the song during the Top 24 elimination round. [25] 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.

The song also connects Heather Graham's portrayal of Rita Blakemoor to her role as Rollergirl in Boogie Nights. Wow, I was really good! Isn’t it crazy, it took this long? Is this the best gift person can ever get, to find out after all this time? Now yes, it might’ve been better if I could’ve known while it was all going on. But I’m here now and I get it! I now see why you my dear ones are here it wasn’t just because you felt sorry for me (someone actually said that) or because I reminded you of something or someone you loved. a b c d Whitburn, Joel (1996).
