GW is embarrassed to say Ms Melua is unknown at this address up until now.  What songs has Ms Melua written?

Wiki Melua: ”Melia attended the BRIT School for the Performing Arts in the London Borough of Croydon, undertaking a BTEC with an A-level in music” and Melua apparently plays the guitar.

”On 30 September 2005, Melua came under criticism in The Guardian from writer and scientist Simon Singh for the lyrics of the track “Nine Million Bicycles”. Melua’s disputed lyrics were:

We are 12 billion light-years from the edge. That’s a guess – no-one can ever say it’s true, but I know that I will always be with you.[46]

They were interpreted by Singh as an assault on the accuracy of the work of cosmologists[47] which sparked a series of letters from other Guardian readers, agreeing or disagreeing.[48] On 15 October, Melua and Singh appeared on the BBC’s Today programme, and Melua unveiled a re-recording of the song which included Singh’s tongue-in-cheek amendments to the lyrics:

We are 13.7 billion light-years from the edge of the observable universe / That’s a good estimate with well-defined error bars / And with the available information / I predict that I will always be with you.[46]”
