HEARING THE NEWS
Writer: Melanie Safka


Hearing the news ain't like being there
Nothin's like feeling it when it's happening to you
Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier
Nothing is real unless it's happening to you
Don't you know that, hearing the news ain't like being there
Nothin's like feeling it when it's happening to you
Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier,
Nothing is real unless it's happening to you

And because we don't know
We're trying to understand
And because we don't know
We hurt our fellow man
And because we don't know
We're fitting in the plan
Everybody's hurting
There's a hurt in the land, don't you know, don't you know

Nothin's like feeling it when it's happening to you
Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier,
nothing is real unless it's happening to you

And because we don't know
We're trying to understand
And because we don't know
We hurt our fellow man
An' because we don't know
We're fitting in the plan
There are people who are living on the death in the land, oh no

Nothin's like feeling it When it's happening to you
Don't you know that hearing the news makes it easier
Nothing is real unless it's happening to you

Melanie Nashville, Tennessee

Pieces of a career, scattered by the winds of experience and assembled again by the force of love into the most personal and brilliant moments of her musical journey. Melanie is poised to enlighten new generations about what it means to sing with both passion and eloquence, to write at once with intelligence and emotion, and to inspire through song. Nobody does this better.
