Gonna close my eyes

Girl and watch you go

Running through this life darling

Like a field of snow

As the tracer glides

In its graceful arc

Send a little prayer out to ya

'Cross the falling dark

Tell the repo man

And the stars above

You're the one I love

Perfect summer's night

Not a wind that breathes

Just the bullets whispering gentle

'Mongst the new green leaves

There's things I might have said

Only wish I could

Now I'm leaking life faster

Than I'm leaking blood

Tell the repo man

And the stars above

You're the one I love

You're the one I love

The one I love

Don't see Elysium

Don't see no fiery hell

Just the lights up bright baby

In the bay hotel

Next wave coming in

Like an ocean roar

Won't you take my hand darling

On that old dancefloor

We can twist and shout

Do the turtle dove

And you're the one I love

You're the one I love

The one I love

Hero’s Story

Hero Melia is 15 yet the talented harpist and singer has already achieved ambitions others twice her age can only dream of.

Hero was one of just three Welsh children chosen to sing as part of the Diamond Choir for the Queen’s Service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral in June 2012.

The service, to mark the Queen’s diamond jubilee, was seen by millions around the world.

But then, Hero is used to singing to big audiences… Aged 11, she reached the final of Sky TV’s Must be the Music and played at Wembley Arena in front of 13,000 people.

Judges Dizzee Rascal, Jamie Cullum and Sharleen Spiteri were all impressed by her performance.

Swept Away, the song she both wrote and performed on the show, then went to number five in the iTunes charts.

Hero has also recorded seven solos on a CD of Sunday school songs, filmed with Disney and been invited into the studio with a record label who want to listen to her new material.

She was 3 when she began singing and won her first Eisteddfod and then aged 8 she started playing the harp.

She grew up in rural North Wales, which is still her home, and is a student at the renowned Chetham’s School of Music where she studies harp, singing and the piano.

The winning combination of her lovely voice and mesmerising harp-playing means she is always in demand to perform at weddings, festivals and music venues.

In 2011 the talented teenager won both the under 14 solo at the Hazel Grove Music Festival and at the Chester Festival - for the second year running.

She came second in the under 15 solo at the International Eisteddfod and was one of three musicians chosen to represent the airline BMIbaby. And she came third in the Welsh competition, The Next Big Thing.

Hero’s songs are usually about personal experiences and she writes in both English and Welsh, having attended bilingual schools since the age of five.

She’s especially proud of a handmade, personalised Pilgrim Harp with her name and a Welsh dragon carved into the pillar.

And music isn’t her only talent: Hero has also written for the Guardian, Daily Mail and does occasional pieces for the Times! She is an open water swimmer and in August 2013 swam the sea between Europe and Asia. Hero and her horse Harvey compete regularly with British Eventing.

What should teenage girls wear?

Teenagers get a hard time about their fashion choices. The Disney actress Bella Thorne was criticised by the media a few months ago for wearing a wacky minidress, but a little later she won fashion plaudits for attending an awards ceremony in a floor-length gown. Lets get real: which outfit do you think she wanted to head out in? I doubt it was the billowing silk tent, but I guess she decided to conform to the adult world's idea of age-appropriate clothing. What to wear – or what not to wear – as a teenager is a hot topic for adults and a no-win situation for teenagers.

Hero Melia in her own choice of clothes.

It's hardly surprising we want to stay in bed all day, because the moment we get dressed in anything other than a sack we get scrutinised and judged. Adults don't want their children to grow up. I'm 14 and want to wear decent clothes when I go out. I like wearing long necklaces, detailed collars, lot of rings, check shirts, high-waisted shorts, blazers, skinny jeans, knee-high socks, dresses with elasticated waistlines, wacky tights, Converse and vintage shoes.

My friends and I hang out in shops and irritate the staff by trying on outfits that we can't afford. In the changing rooms we take snaps on our phones and put the photos of us in nice clothes on Facebook. I guess it's a bit like playing, and to look older than we are. I hunt out charity shops in expensive areas of Manchester and Chester. I love Hollister and Jack Wills but two of my favourite shops are Whistles and Ralph Lauren, although I don't shop there much as they are too expensive. I try stuff on and then recreate a similar look with clothes from Topshop or H&M.

My style is a cross between girly and tomboy. I like wearing things in the wrong combination – a riding jacket and a onesie – or borrowing things from my cousins or mum, or jewellery from my mum's mum. I rummage through my cupboard and find new ways to wear old outfits, such as hitching up a long skirt into a shorter one.

I think my look is normal with splashes of crazy, but I can't believe the reaction of grownups sometimes when I dress up. My mum rarely says I look nice. I see a flicker of a sort of "gosh", but she looks mainly alarmed and in a cross voice (she denies this) says I need to dress appropriately for my age and that I look too grown up. My friends all have the same problem. It seems a miniskirt sets off some parental warning bell.

It's hard being a teenager: you feel a bit unsure of yourself, even without your mother implying every time you make an effort to look nice that your life is about to turn into an episode of Girls. Parents need to realise that teenagers don't suddenly become different or too old for their years because they put on a bit of eyeliner.

I mostly wear skinny jeans and vests but when I dress up it would be nice to get a compliment from grownups. Children are bombarded with Barbie dolls in outrageous outfits and see images of young girls wearing skimpy clothes in magazines aimed at teenagers, but then are not allowed to go out unless dressed in today's equivalent of Laura Ashley. (That would probably be Boden: my mum loves flicking through the catalogue, gazing at rainbow clothes that I don't want to wear. Or Monsoon: whenever my mum arrives home with a carrier bag, my heart sinks.)

At home we've always had a dressing-up box in the sitting room, full of ridiculous old silk dresses and shoes that have been collected over the years. I used to spend days tottering around in a crazy assortment of clothes, and that was fine by my mother. Cute, even. One of the things I am presently not allowed to go out in is some Manolo Blahnik stilettos (only a small heel), which my mum got from a charity shop. Too small for her, they ended up in the dressing-up box, and because Mum always went on about them being special I wore them when I was younger, pretending I was Cinderella. At the age of five it was fine – but now that I am making the transition from child to adult I am treated like a weirdo if I dress up.

It is hard to understand why it is fine for my mum to put on stilettos and dress-up , but if I wear a bit of makeup and a short-ish skirt, she has a crisis. I am not going anywhere exciting. I really don't do much. I go out with my friends from school to the Arndale Centre in Manchester, but only during the day. I might dress up to go shopping to Llandudno or Chester. I enjoy wearing fun stuff if I go to a folk club or the cinema with friends, but I don't do much as I live in a village in the mountains so mostly I'm in boots, fleeces and salopettes.

Teenagers today are working like crazy to adhere to the pressure that we've got to be all-singing, all-dancing academic whizzes – so it would be nice when we go out occasionally to be free, and encouraged to wear what we want. I feel I am meant to be ashamed that I am growing up and starting to experiment with grown up clothes. I might make mistakes. I might look silly sometimes. But let teenagers be teenagers.
