My Misery Loves Company by Melodie Yvonne Ramey

I am taut skin over plastic and a heart encased in glass
I’m about to shatter if this saving don’t come fast
I am lost out in the cosmos and my mind’s out in the rain
You can put me back together but I’ll never be the same

I’m the one that’s here to save you but I just can’t save myself
I’m a messed up prophet savior only saving someone else
But if you try to fix me I’ll just up and leave
My misery loves company and that dear friend is me

My brain’s a twisted carnival, my skull’s a one man tent
No sense in being classy when I’m comfortable low rent
I’ll be the girl your momma loves, I’ll be the one she hates
I’ll be the thing you need the most until my being breaks

I’m the one that’s here to save you but I just can’t save myself
I’m a messed up prophet savior only saving someone else
But if you try to fix me I’ll just up and leave
‘Cause my misery loves company and that dear friend is me
Oh yes, my misery loves company, and that dear friend is me

Now I’ve told you how I’m feeling and I hope you listened in
My cards are on the table and the dealer’s gonna win
Player one is yelling “Yahtzee!”, but I’m still player two
And I’m afraid I’ll never finish and be bought or owned by you

I’m the one that’s here to save you but I still can’t save myself
I’m your messed up prophet savior only saving someone else
And if you try to fix me I’ll just up and leave
‘Cause my misery loves company and that dear friend is me
Oh yes, my misery loves company, and that dear friend is me

Melodie Yvonne

Melodie Yvonne Ramey, owner, editor, & contributor at Photographic Melodie, grew up in the small southern Indiana town of North Vernon. She picked up her first camera at the young age of 5, and was immediately hooked. Every trip, even just to the local park, was turned into a fantasy scene of her own imagination that would later be turned into epic tales in word and photos.

Melodie spent her teen years learning from and mentoring under professionals such as Richard Young, John Sheckler, and The Grand Conundrum. She received an Associates of Applied Science in Visual Technologies majoring in Photography from Ivy Tech in 2002 after studying under acclaimed professors such as Hoosier photographer Darryl Jones, Jonathan Wilson, and many other masters in the field.

Melodie’s main focus has always been music photography. Growing up with photography and listening to amazing musicians inspired her dream to create visual images that made people feel the way they do when they hear the music. She wanted to help people SEE the music by capturing every magical moment of concerts that she could only dream about as she gazed into music magazines like Rolling Stone and Spin.

Melodie has done numerous jobs around the country ranging from working for bands to even being the official photographer on many southern Indiana Poker Runs. Her specialties are in nature, music, and candid event photography, as well as one of a kind photographic creations. Melodie published her first print book Photographic Memories: In the Beginning, a collection of poetry, in 2011, and has since published 2 more print works, Photographic Memories: Meet me in the Middle and Hoosier Heavens, her first photo book. Melodie currently acts as publisher, editor & lead contributor at Photographic Melodie and does freelance work with many other media outlets, venues, and artists.

Melodie says, “I started out with a Tweety bird camera and a dream and I never let go. I will always love photography and the vessel it has given me to share the images of my heart and mind with the world. I have found that every single person on this earth visualizes the world in very different ways. Some people are optimists, some are pessimists. Some people are daydreamers, and others keep their feet firmly planted on the ground. Photography allows me to show some of these different visualizations. It allows the rationalist to see that it’s okay to dream, it can show the monsters hidden in the dark, and it can show even the saddest of people that there is still joy in the world.”
