*When you're in "Lurk only-mode" for quite a while but visit her website every single day anyways (just in case...) and then you see a wonderful topic (like this one) and you HAVE to respond and share

*when you go to a record store (yes there is a world out there with real shops - not only the internet) and you are automatically drawn to the "M"-section.

*The stream of adrenaline when you see that there is actually a "Melanie"-section (!). (Happens very rarely these days and when they have her own section, they have only 2 or 3 "Best of"-albums...bummer....)

*The "I-think-I-will-faint-right-here-and-now"-moment when you discover a Melanie-record that you DON'T already have...and it contains NEW (!!!!!) songs...

*When you plan your holidays around Melanie-concert-dates to be able to see as many as possible

*When you cross borders and oceans to drive, rail or fly to her concerts and you see her over 30 times in 5 different countries during 3 decades.

*When there's not a single day where you don't think of her

*When your passwords and PIN-numbers all have to do with Melanie and/or her birthday

(oh here comes out the secret, pincodes and passwords. what a great idea!)

When in deep meditation and prayer your thinking about Melanie...singing the lyrics to her songs and chanting her chant```

when you can dance like a crazy mad cat to animal crackers and sing it at the top of your voice with your dad to annoy your mum lol xxx

yay im so glad everyone is participating! feel free to keep adding more as you think of them

If words can?t describe your feelings when you hear your favorite numbers of Melanie
But I will try?..
I have no Melanie wall, I have thousands of songs in my media system of hundreds of artist and guess what: I choose mostly Melanie (one of the 230 songs of her )
Why? who else sings with so much emotion?
Sings about deep emotions.
Or just for fun.
I hear nothing else when I hear her.
My hiding place,
Some songs are playing in my ears for hours.
An addiction.
Am glad with my auto grams, and I treasure my photo together with Melanie.
I have it as my background of my computer.
Bit in love I think ;-)


A fan

Still having one wish: Unchained Melanie

You're riding down the street with "Please Love Me" playing on the CD player and not caring that the people in the car next to you are watching you cry.
