"For my mother Polly 1926-2003
Thank you Mom, I Love You"

For three years Melanie, who became the voice of an era
in one magical
instant onstage at Woodstock, has been putting the pieces in order. This
album is a
kind of rebirth - an ignition of the creative energies with which she had
first conquered the musical world. She has, in short, lived a rare life.
But
all of it was just a prelude to what's about to come. There's something
new in
"Paled by Dimmer Light".
"I feel like a person who's never been heard" she declares.
"Maybe people
think they've heard me, but they never really have. I'm a new artist.
I'm
having so much fun with my voice - a person shouldn't be allowed to have so much
fun." Meet Melanie again - for the very first time.
