Touched By An Angel - Sezairi Sezali

Now, you can sing (and emo) along...

I've got the official lyrics (not transcribed k, got it from your Singapore Idol himself who was still up and about on MSN like 15 minutes ago!) Wow, it just hit me again that Airi is THE Singapore Idol. I was MSN-ing with the Idol. O.O

Pretty soon all communikay's gonna have to go thru 'proper channels', no more "hey wassup Airi can I whip out my phone cam and interview you...." *sob*sob* (maybe he'll make an exception for me and this blog :) *hope*)

Ok, drama aside, here's the studio recording of Touched By An Angel, followed by the lyrics, followed by a fan-vid recorded at Indoor Stadium when he sang. Imo, that performance at Indoor, is the one that will bring on the goosebumps and well up your tear ducts - absolutely stellar vocals on that one.

Enjoy...

TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL performed by SEZAIRI SEZALI

(Music & Lyrics by Ken Lim)

Verse 1

My world had just gone by
Always darkened skies
There was no reason to try
Never could fly

Now I’m tired of searching
And wondering why
It’s not really all that, much far
Reaching out for stars

Bridge
Time to reach out
Time to be who I am

Chorus
Finally, I believe
My dreams will unfold
It’s like being touched by an angel
A brand new beginning
It’s amazing
This is, a moment, I will remember

Finally, I can feel
Heaven on earth
It’s like being touched by an angel
My world is changing
I’m living out loud
Feels like, I’m been, touched by an angel above

Verse 2
I’ve waited for so long
For this day to arrive
The world seems a different place
Knowing I can fly

repeat Bridge, then Chorus

Live performance at Indoor Stadium, Singapore Idol Grand Finals, 27th December 2009.

9 Hours To Go.....

Time is just FLYING BY!

In 2 hours, your Top 2 will be reporting at Indoor Stadium for the biggest night of their lives. For Sylvia Ratonel and Sezairi Sezali, their Idol journey is about to hit its peak.

I'll be heading down to Indoor Stadium later at about 3pm, but before that, I have a video to share. Ages and ages ago (about 4 and a half months ago), someone sent me a demo for a great 'Idol song' written specifically for this season's Idol winner. I was just asked to listen and give comments, and truth be told, I was sold from the first demo eventhough it was very raw. The lyrics and melody are all uplifting - characteristic of an Idol winning single. But ultimately, the song selected to be the Idol single would be Uncle Ken's 'Touched By An Angel'. (I'm guessing there were other songs thrown up and the most suitable was chosen).

Anyway, I still think this is a great song, and I've just seen this vid by Izked and he's using the song I mentioned above. For whatever reason, he has not revealed the singer/composer, so I'll keep it as that as well. Suffice it to say, the boys who wrote this *wink* are the coolest and so very very talented. Kudos to you for such a beautiful song!

Now watch this, a very touching video of your Top 2, made by Official Blogger Iz, you made me cry dude! This is a great way to remember their journey - better than the usual exit VTs on the show!

Look out for more updates via my tweets later today!

I gotta feeling....woo hooo....

xoxo, s.

ps. OMG OMG OMG FINAL IDOL DAY!!!!!!
