39
00:02:18,814 --> 00:02:21,734

00:02:41,854 --> 00:02:44,854

Speaker 1: their greatest hits. Reflecting on the band's impact, Beyond said

53
00:03:05,774 --> 00:03:08,814
Speaker 1: it was very hard to grasp emotionally that they wrote

54
00:03:08,854 --> 00:03:11,134
Speaker 1: these little songs and gave rise to where they are

55
00:03:11,174 --> 00:03:14,694
Speaker 1: now still touching millions of people. Benny says he has

56
00:03:14,774 --> 00:03:17,174
Speaker 1: no idea what makes people want to listen to music

57
00:03:17,174 --> 00:03:20,214
Speaker 1: that was done fifty, forty or thirty years ago, beyond

58
00:03:20,254 --> 00:03:22,414
Speaker 1: saying if you said something like this would happen in

59
00:03:22,454 --> 00:03:26,014
