(2nd Set) Backup vocal: Cherissa Tan Guitars: Ian Low & Sean Ng Percussion: Shannon Ang Piano : Mandric Tan By courtesy of Melodie Tan (copyrighted by Melodie), Here are the lyrics to 'A Sweeter Song' - Tonight you were in my dreams Beautiful and by my side We laughed in the sun We shone like the stars so bright It seemed like I knew you forever Like childhood lovers grown Wonder why I never told you and why you had never known There's a sweeter song for us (That no one could ever compare) There's a sweeter song for us (And love will take me there) In the morning when I woke Your face etched inside my mind You were still so beautiful But distant as Southern Skies Don't know what the future holds Or if the world will be lasting long But this one thing I know This patience will not go wrong There's a sweeter song for us (That no one could ever compare) There's a sweeter song for us The deserts will meet the oceans The sun will rise in the west Birds will crawl and fish will fly And I'll be in your arms again Flowers will start to bloom In the clear blue sky Rain will start falling up And we'll never be saying goodbye Till forever has ended Till my Maker has come through You'll be just a dream A dream that will never come true" About Melodie: Melodie started playing the piano at the tender age of 4. She wrote what she calls her 'first real' song at the age of 14. She has come a long way since then. She recently performed at the inaugural Youth Olympic Games Opening and Closing Ceremonies. The talented songstress aims to fortify her passion in singing and songwriting by pursuing a degree in music in Melbourne, Australia. Although classically trained in both voice and piano, Melodie has traversed many genres, from musical theatre to pop and jazz. For At the Concourse -- Originals Only, Melodie will perform her latest works - an interesting combination of pop, folk and jazz. Having grown up with music as a friend, Melodie understands the power that music and lyrics can have upon the heart, soul and mind. This bubbly girl-next-door hopes that the songs she writes will bring joy, love and healing to the lives of those who hear them, whoever they may be.
