There's so much passion, 75 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: and I have a feeling that the song is obviously 76 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: connected something real and tangible and something that you actually love. 77 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: So set the scene for me, please, Well. 78 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 3: I've wrote and produced this song before Fakers Streets even started. 79 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was in the. 80 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 3: UK in twenty twenty three.
