[GUITAR PLAYING]
That night my eyes were red.
You laid awake in bed.
And I couldn't see past my horizon.
You could tell the sun was rising.
Now I feel the sunlight on my face.
Now that I know what you knew then,
How I wish I let you in.
How I wish I let you win a fight
Every now and again.
Now that I know what you knew then.

Now as I walk in your shoes,
It seems like it's deja vu.
I couldn't see past my horizon.
You could tell the sun was rising.
Now I feel the sunlight on my face.
Now that I know what you knew then,
How I wish I let you in.
How I wish I let you win a fight
Every now and again.
Now that I know what you knew then.
Welcome back to Mormon Channel Studio.
I'm your host, Nik Day, and we just
heard "What You Knew Then" from Alex Melecio.
It's a beautiful song, Alex.
Thanks, Nik.
I appreciate it.
So do you want to tell us a little bit about the song?
Sure.
Yes.
I actually just finished writing this song this morning
with the help of my wife, and I actually
got to collaborate with a couple of really good friends of mine,
David Lindes, Rebecca Lopez.
And it's a song that's dear to my heart,
just in a tribute to my parents, and just remembering
what they taught me and remembering
both the good and the bad.
And now as a parent, hoping that my children one day will thank
me and my wife for all the rough spots
that we get when we make them practice their songs
or we make them do homework.
A lot of times we don't see--we don't have the end in mind,
but our parents do.
So it's just a tribute to parents.
Nice, I love that.
And you have one more song for us, is that right?
Yes.
I'll be performing "Come, Follow Me"
in Spanish, [SPANISH SPEECH], and my beautiful wife, Melodi,
will accompany at the piano.
It sounds great.
Take it away.
Thanks.
