Etheridge, Melissa - No Souvenirs Lyrics

love it

Circa 89, one of my dear friends bought me ME's Brave & Crazy CD's for my birthday, that was all she wrote. I was 21, walking through the misty forrests and beaches of Humboldt County, CA,with a mug of Earl Grey tea lodged firmly in my hand....I'd just realized I had a crush on a woman named Tracy, who went to college with me at HSU. She was a TA in my history of religion class. I didn't know what to do with those feelings back then. What I do know is this song's been one of the few that have remained current in the sound track of my life for the last 30 years. Melissa is a trailblazer. I wish I could spend one more day, walking the forrest, listening to her on my discman.

I love this song...but one thing in this video just baffles my brain... WHY IS THERE A ROW BOAT (floating in water) ON A ROOFTOP?

SHE ROCKSlays On Stage
A classic. She rocks.

pure talent, she is and will always be one of the best artists of this generation, love her,
I've seen her Live and Alone Tour and she IS amazing...just her voice, guitar, and piano...amazing!

I always thought she had a thing for her bass player...obviously I was wrong!

Im a fan but and all, but what'd the papaya do to anybody Mel?! 😊

I ALWAYS LOVED LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC

Hello Hello this is Romeo calling from a jackpot telephone. 💝💝💝

always loved this, and many other of hers along the way

Melissa, I found my silver shoes and will dance the night away on December 4th in Cool Ann Arbor!!!!! I will feel "Lucky" and not alone that night. I always see a little bit of me in a little bit of you... LOL........I better stop, having too much fun with this. See You There 😉

LOVE IT! One of my favorite ME songs to perform! :)

Once twice thought it might be nice

I've seen her Live and Alone Tour and she IS amazing...just her voice, guitar, and piano...amazing!

You made up your mind ,love shouldn't be so hard ...
Goes through me however much we are invested in a relationship once the other is done , then you're left standing there with no souvenir

Forget how fcking good this was.

Garbage.

Lee Larson your garbage

💙🔥💙

Everything she ever sang touched my soul in some way! Love her music!

I grew up to this 💕

She sure knew how to play the guitar and so full of energy! What a great inspiration!

Kevin McCormick on Bass for this album and all of her early work. One of the greats.

no souvenirs. bullshit. you need stuff. you need things to help you get by. what's a trip to Disneyworld without Mickey mouse ears?

A classic. She rocks.

I think this was the first song by her I memorized word for word I was in 7th grade

(^O^)❤I guess im just to late❤

this song breaks my heart, from when it came out many years ago until now.. you can feel the pain, you can feel the reality..

I just remembered this song. Used to listen to this song on the way to camp. My mom and aunt are mega fans. So am I

I also grew up listening to her she's one of my idols my mom raised me to love independent women like her!!

nichole pastor

shame not many views should be blowing beiber out of the water. this one sogn is better than every single song he has out and will have out.

if it wasn't for melissa Ethridge music I would have been lost. ...thank god for her music it touched me so

Dawn Pokorski her first 3 albums are a part of me , they always will be . overpowering emotions everytime i hear these songs .

Dawn Pokorski I was on a suicidal downfall back in’94 after leaving a violent marriage.If it weren’t for Brave and Crazy,I wouldn’t be here.

What is a Jack pot telephone? Thanks I am one of her biggest fans I have loved everything she has and is still doing!! But I have to ask what is that? Thanks Everyone!!

Jackpot = Tough situation. Calling because I'm in a bad way.

A jackpot telephone is what you would call a pay phone that had coins sitting in the change receptacle of a pay phone. You know, one of those things sitting on the streets before the advent of cell phones.

I love Melissa Ethridge everything she does is great!! I am one of her biggest fans!!!

SHE ROCKSlays On Stage

wore this damn CD out back in the day.....not a bad song on it.

Michelle Babuta...me too ...she just rocks

I burnt though my share

SAME! My college suitemate and I would blast this and the Indigo Girls on the freeway on the way back from seeing her gf one town over. Classic times. There's not a bad cut on this CD.

it wore me out

It's her best!

Best singer ever.

Love that late-80's dykie look. So many girlfriends were pulling that look off back then. Time flies.

i had her haircut once upon a time!!!

what intensity in her early career. wow!

Thank you Melissa . for uploading ,I love this.

I wonder how many people under the age of 30 know what a jackpot telephone is..............?

I saw Melissa live in 1992 on the Never Enough tour. It was an amazing show.

+Tanee Ellis Its a pay phone because they give out change.

+epistte I do! Saw her live outside of Boston while I was in college back in 89! What a fantastic show in a great club. On stage presence back then & now is just...WOW!

+epistte My family and I called them Miracle Phones because it'd take a miracle to actually get a hold of someone from them.

@laura Silveria I saw her in Clevland flats in August of 1992. It was an amazing show. A ship captain stopped and listened to the show.

@Tanee Clardy I think she explained on the Songwriters show a jackpot telephone is when you call someone to tell them how you feel about them & if you aren't sure how they'll respond that's why it's a jackpot telephone. You may get a positive answer back, or you may not.

Since I'm talking about great videos this one too!

I `m drunk

Your comment is from 5 years ago. Just wondering if you're still drunk. 🤔

play it for some I  now bbc.my self

pure talent, she is and will always be one of the best artists of this generation, love her,

Saw her at the Enmore theatre in about early 90's and she blew me away with her musical skills and had 1 hell of a kick ass backing band to boot

Another fine song with hardly any air time.

baby girl can sure wail.  jeeze, we were all such kids back then. this is still one of my favorite 'play real loud and drive real fast' songs... 

classic & timeless
we need more music like this nowadays... 

I don't what i'm doing here but it sure is nice to revisit the past.  Thanks for posting these vids.  You are one hell of a song writer Melissa.  Just unreal.
