Gary Barlow: On Her Majesty's Service Page #6

---

Sing it clearer

Knowing everyone will hear.

Now we've arrived!

That's national isn't it, yeah?

Good. Right, well, you're in.

You got the job. Well done.

It's a joy for me to work with Gary.

It's interesting for me.

I come from the classical world

and I think that's been

quite a happy marriage, actually.

And what an honour,

Gary Barlow called me up

and said, "Do you want to be

on a single?" Unbelievable.

Just sing

Just sing...

It's gone brilliantly today.

It's very smooth.

Gareth really rehearsed everybody

and...

No, it's good.

Just sing

Just sing...

It sounds really big.

70 voices, this is what we need,

this is what the lyric relates to,

it's about standing shoulder

to shoulder, saying, "Thanks".

Just sing...

I think that sounds great.

Well done, ladies.

Round of applause!

I'm shaking!

It's this simple, really...

we finish the vocals today,

we mix it tonight and the next

person we play it to is the Queen.

No pressure.

I tell you what it is about London...

when I was little and we were

going there on our holiday,

it was because

the Queen lived there.

That's why it was so exciting.

And I remember distinctly

holding those bars

and those railings

and looking through

at the house where the Queen lived.

It just seemed untouchable

when we looked at the Palace.

There was never any point in my life

I'd ever be the other side

of those gates.

How mad is this?

I'm about to meet the Queen.

It's a massive thing for me

just to be able to meet the Queen.

It would be for anyone.

Feels like the journey's

really coming to its end now.

Gareth and Andrew are here

with me today.

They've been a big part of this.

Your Majesty, this is Gary Barlow,

who co-wrote the song.

Good morning. Nice to meet you,

Your Majesty. Andrew Lloyd Webber.

'We're very excited to tell you

about what we've been up to.'

We've actually had tremendous fun.

It seemed like a big mission

to start with, but we've had

a great time, actually.

Now I actually went to Treetops.

Oh, did you?

I thought it would be

a lovely place to start.

We found a girl called Lydia.

Her beautiful voice

opens and closes the record.

They're called the Slum Drummers

and they live in the Kibera slums

and they basically make

all their instruments out of litter.

I was so excited to spend

the day with these guys

and, actually, they've sort of

stayed with me, in a way.

They were really amazing.

I think you've heard

Gurrumul before. He's Aborigine,

he's been blind from birth

Oh, yes, I do remember him, yes.

And we sat on this beautiful

precipice

and he played amazingly.

That's very brave of him.

It is!

So we've had a really

exceptional journey.

On a three-minute piece of music,

we have about 200 people,

so it's getting rather full.

So we thought we should

play it to you. Right.

So, if you don't mind,

we're gonna play you the song.

OK, here we go.

Some words they can't be spoken

Only sung

So hear a thousand voices

Shouting love

There's a place

There's a time

In this life

When you sing

What you are feeling

Find your feet

Stand your ground

Don't you see right now

The world is listening

To what we say

Sing it louder

Sing it clearer

Knowing everyone will hear ya

Make some noise

Find your voice tonight

Sing it stronger

Sing together

Make this moment last forever

Old and young

Shouting love tonight

To sing we've had

A lifetime to wait

Wait, wait, wait

And see a thousand faces

celebrate...

'Today's been amazing.'

It's so much more

than a three-minute song, this,

it's a whole story.

To be able to have the time to tell

her about that's been great.

Well, we hope you've enjoyed it.

Yes, very much so.

There's some beautiful stories

and some gorgeous people we've met,

so it's my job, really, to come here

and tell her about them.

I would like to present,

on behalf of Gary and I,

a copy of the original score.

It's splendid, isn't it?

I hope it's a great success, too.

What a great ending.

Sing it louder

Sing it clearer

Knowing everyone will hear ya

Make some noise

Find your voice tonight

Sing it stronger

Sing together

Make this moment last forever

Old and young

Shouting love tonight

Some words they can't be spoken

Only sung...

I feel a lot of things right now.

I feel very privileged,

very honoured and very lucky

that we've got to do this

and I've got to have seen what I've

seen and heard what I've heard.

Because it'll be a part

of our lives forever.

Just si-i-i-i-ing

Just si-i-i-i-ing

Just si-i-i-i-ing

Just si-i-i-i-ing

Come on and sing it louder

Sing it clearer

Knowing everyone will hear ya

Make some noise

Find your voice tonight

Sing it stronger

Sing together

Make this moment last forever

Old and young

Shouting love tonight

Hear a thousand voices

Shouting love.
