Gather Me, 1971
Written by Melanie Safka
A modern gospel, complete with choir and shout-outs in the background. I've always appreciated Melanie for more than "Brand New Key," and I dig her uneven, girl-next-door voice. This one goes on a little too long with an extended fade our repeating just two lines, but she infused the whole thing with so much naive hippie spirit that this time I don't mind. We need a little gusto these days.
