And I love 82 00:04:16,173 --> 00:04:18,693 Speaker 3: this here I grabbed this off her Instagram. She said 83 00:04:18,733 --> 00:04:22,013 Speaker 3: it was about creating memories, sharing stories, opening the door 84 00:04:22,053 --> 00:04:24,173 Speaker 3: to our life with Faro at the center of it all. 85 00:04:24,693 --> 00:04:27,493 Speaker 3: And what a time of year to remind ourselves that 86 00:04:27,733 --> 00:04:31,213 Speaker 3: is what we are about. And yeah, just put this 87 00:04:31,413 --> 00:04:33,773 Speaker 3: on and enjoy it. Maybe it's later in the dan 88 00:04:33,813 --> 00:04:35,493 Speaker 3: and you've got a nice glass of wine with you, 89 00:04:35,933 --> 00:04:39,933 Speaker 3: or maybe it is while you're setting up the Christmas 90 00:04:40,013 --> 00:04:43,133 Speaker 3: tree or whatever you're getting onto in the weekend, a 91 00:04:43,133 --> 00:04:46,413 Speaker 3: little sideline, you know, to have this, Yeah, just sort 92 00:04:46,413 --> 00:04:49,773 Speaker 3: of beautifully in the background or maybe in the forefront 93 00:04:49,853 --> 00:04:51,453 Speaker 3: of your day. I think this is what this album 94 00:04:51,493 --> 00:04:53,133 Speaker 3: can do for you. I think it can be there 95 00:04:53,133 --> 00:04:57,213 Speaker 3: in the background, or you can embrace it fully emerge 96 00:04:57,213 --> 00:04:59,293 Speaker 3: yourself into that bilingual language, do you know. I also 97 00:04:59,333 --> 00:05:01,373 Speaker 3: think with these albums you don't necessarily have to be 98 00:05:01,373 --> 00:05:03,773 Speaker 3: able to spect it on Marty. There will be elements 99 00:05:03,813 --> 00:05:06,173 Speaker 3: of it that you will capture and embrace for yourself, 100 00:05:06,733 --> 00:05:09,453 Speaker 3: whether you fully understand all the words, and maybe it'll 101 00:05:09,493 --> 00:05:11,653 Speaker 3: make you delve into finding out the meaning behind some 102 00:05:11,693 --> 00:05:12,213 Speaker 3: of those words. 103 00:05:12,253 --> 00:05:15,013 Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, absolutely, Okay, sounds great, sounds really good. 104 00:05:15,013 --> 00:05:16,253 Speaker 1: So what did you give car Wi? 105 00:05:16,813 --> 00:05:18,613 Speaker 3: I'm just going to go straight out there with the 106 00:05:18,693 --> 00:05:20,373 Speaker 3: Queenie and say, let's give it a ten. 107 00:05:21,533 --> 00:05:23,693 Speaker 4: Okay, very good, Okay. 108 00:05:23,893 --> 00:05:26,613 Speaker 2: I really respect what she has put together on this album. 109 00:05:27,853 --> 00:05:30,053 Speaker 4: Nice Okay.
