0:01:13 > 0:01:19- # I try my best, but I can't let go.

0:01:20 > 0:01:24- # The grass is greener - on the other side,

0:01:25 > 0:01:29- # And it'll always - be on the other side.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32- # There's nowhere to run. #

0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Caryl, you come - from the Prestatyn area.

0:01:41 > 0:01:46- I expected you to return - to that area, not come to the Gower.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- I know - - it's an unusual choice, perhaps.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54- But this is where - I bring my children.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Their roots are in south Wales.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00- I know, when I'll look back - on my life...

0:02:02 > 0:02:06- ..I'll have sweet memories - of being here with my children.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09- I come to the Gower.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13- I was brought up - on the Flintshire coast.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- It was a lot of fun.

0:02:16 > 0:02:21- The family would go to Ffrith Beach - in Prestatyn every year.

0:02:21 > 0:02:27- The sea at Rhyl wasn't quite as nice - as the sea here in the Gower.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30- It looked a bit like Guinness!

0:02:31 > 0:02:31- It's better now!

0:02:31 > 0:02:34- It's better now!- - Yes, it's much better now.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38- The sea used to be brown - with creamy foam!

0:02:38 > 0:02:40- Hazardous, to say the least!

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- I love this walk - from Port Eynon to Oxwich Point...

0:02:49 > 0:02:51- ..then round - past Nicholaston Woods....

0:02:52 > 0:02:56- ..and we finish up - at Three Cliffs Bay.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59- As they call it in Welsh!

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- It's a great walk, - Wales at its best.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06- The sea, and plenty of greenery too.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07- The sea, and plenty of greenery too.- - And some mountains, too.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10- They're too big for me!

0:03:10 > 0:03:12- What have you done with the weather? - It's raining!

0:03:12 > 0:03:13- What have you done with the weather? - It's raining!- - I know. Rotten luck!

0:03:13 > 0:03:18- I don't think it'll spoil the views, - just spoil my hair!

0:03:18 > 0:03:20- Your hair looks smart!

0:03:21 > 0:03:24- You're very well-known - as a performer.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28- You act, sing and compose.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Is it something you've done - since you were small?

0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Yes, apparently, - according to Dad and Mam.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Mam has reel-to-reel tapes...

0:03:41 > 0:03:45- ..of me doing a concert - when I was aged three.

0:03:45 > 0:03:50- Everyone had to sit in a row, - even Emrys, my imaginary friend!

0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Dad is a fantastic pianist.

0:03:53 > 0:03:59- When I sang "Mi Welais Jac y Do", - we'd have a five-minute intro!

0:03:59 > 0:04:03- I thought everyone's father - could play the piano like that!

0:04:04 > 0:04:08- Dad had a choir, he conducted - concerts and hymn singing festivals.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12- He was a pianist and a composer - and Mam sang a lot too.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15- We were a Welsh showbiz family!

0:04:15 > 0:04:19- They thoroughly enjoyed eisteddfodau - and concerts.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Performing - was part of my upbringing.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26- The rain's blown over us.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27- The rain's blown over us.- - Yes, thank goodness.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30- Thanks for letting me borrow - your trousers!

0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Not very sexy, but they do the job!

0:04:34 > 0:04:39- You wait - people will write to you - admiring your trousers!

0:04:40 > 0:04:45- We're leaving agricultural land - behind us now - this land's wilder.

0:04:45 > 0:04:51- Did you know from an early age - that you wanted to be a performer?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55- No, I wanted to work in a shoe shop!

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- I thought that seemed - a very nice job!

0:04:59 > 0:05:02- That's the job for me, I thought!

0:05:02 > 0:05:07- To be honest, Iolo, it wasn't - so fashionable at the time.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11- When I was a member of Sidan - years ago...

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- ..we'd go down to Cardiff - to appear in television programmes.

0:05:16 > 0:05:22- To me, it seemed like a private club - that was difficult to get into.

0:05:22 > 0:05:27- You wouldn't choose - to make a career in the media...

0:05:27 > 0:05:29- ..because it wasn't open to you.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35- Entertainment as a livelihood - wasn't something I considered.

0:05:35 > 0:05:41- Having said that, it was still - a way of life within our family.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43- Dad and Mam did it.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- When I was a little girl...

0:05:46 > 0:05:50- ..aunties and uncles - would call round to practise.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Mam went out to sing - in lovely dresses.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- There was something showbizzy - about my upbringing...

0:05:58 > 0:06:01- ..though it was showbiz - with a small 's'.

0:06:03 > 0:06:08- The light looks nice over there, - with those ships on the horizon.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12- The weather's getting better!

0:06:12 > 0:06:17- We can see the hills of Somerset - in the distance.

0:06:17 > 0:06:18- I'm not sure.

0:06:19 > 0:06:20- My geography's rubbish!

0:06:22 > 0:06:27- I'm glad the trousers have gone. - Thanks for letting me borrow them!

0:06:27 > 0:06:28- But they didn't do much - for my street cred!

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- But they didn't do much - for my street cred!- - You don't look so sexy now!

0:06:31 > 0:06:34- You don't think so?! - Whatever turns you on!

0:06:37 > 0:06:39- If I can return to your childhood...

0:06:39 > 0:06:43- ..your father - had a big influence on you.

0:06:43 > 0:06:44- Yes.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Dad was out a lot.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50- He was a teacher during the day.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53- He was an accompanist, - composer or conductor...

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- ..when he went out to do his gigs.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02- But in dealing with an audience, - telling jokes, sense of humour...

0:07:02 > 0:07:05- ..he's had a huge influence on me.

0:07:06 > 0:07:11- He still makes me laugh. - It's the way he says things.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14- He's one of the funniest people - I know.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18- He's also had a huge - musical influence on me.

0:07:19 > 0:07:23- He was the one who made me - passionate about music...

0:07:24 > 0:07:27- ..and taught me - the importance of harmony...

0:07:28 > 0:07:30- ..and how to compose - memorable melodies.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34- He showed me the way.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35- And you're still good friends.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38- And you're still good friends.- - The best. I think the world of him.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40- And Mam, of course.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42- She's OK, too, really!

0:07:43 > 0:07:46- You'll get a row when you go home!

0:07:47 > 0:07:51- But fair play, she also had - a big influence on me.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53- She was a singer.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57- She won five times - at the National Eisteddfod.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02- There's a story about her winning - at one National Eisteddfod.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Her brother Gwyn - was walking through Ffynnongroyw...

0:08:06 > 0:08:08- ..and some guy shouted at him...

0:08:08 > 0:08:13- .."Gwyn, I hear your sister's - won the Grand National again!"

0:08:13 > 0:08:17- The stories they brought home - with them after concerts!

0:08:17 > 0:08:21- They did a concert every year - in one place.

0:08:22 > 0:08:27- And every year this eccentric - little man got up to thank them.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32- "I definitely think we've had - a very good time tonight.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36- "I definitely think Mr Rhys Jones - should go on 'Opportunity Knocks'.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40- "I definitely think - we should now have a sing-song.

0:08:41 > 0:08:45- "I definitely think - we've had our favourite hymns.

0:08:45 > 0:08:50- "Now for my favourite hymn, 'She'll - be Coming Round the Mountain!'"

0:08:50 > 0:08:52- Every year!

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- You were in a band - when you were very young...

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- ..when the Welsh rock scene began.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Was it an exciting time?

0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Gracious, yes! - It was a very exciting time.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12- Sidan was my first group.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Before that, I sang duets - with a boy called Gareth Parry...

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- ..when I was about 11 or 12.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- We were on the same bill - as male voice choirs.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Sometimes Dafydd Iwan - or Hogia'r Wyddfa would be there...

0:09:29 > 0:09:31- ..or Tony ac Aloma.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33- It was very exciting.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- But by the time Sidan was going...

0:09:36 > 0:09:39- ..there was another generation - of groups.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Though people like Hogia'r Wyddfa - were still going.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47- And every time Sidan sang - with Hogia'r Wyddfa...

0:09:47 > 0:09:52- ..guaranteed, we'd walk into - a little room behind the stage...

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- ..and they'd be in their underpants!

0:09:55 > 0:09:59- I've seen Myrddin's backside - more often than his wife has!

0:10:00 > 0:10:02- We had a lot of fun.

0:10:02 > 0:10:07- And it gave rise - to the occasional romance.

0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Though not with Hogia'r Wyddfa, - I hasten to add!

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Then you moved on - from Sidan to Injaroc...

0:10:17 > 0:10:19- ..and then on to Bando.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21- It was a wonderful period.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24- I left the angelic singing behind.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28- For some proper rock.

0:10:28 > 0:10:33- Though I was listening to some - old records the other day...

0:10:33 > 0:10:35- ..and I sounded awful.

0:10:35 > 0:10:37- My voice was very weak.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41- But I was doing something - I really enjoyed.

0:10:41 > 0:10:47- A lot of the music we did with Sidan - was very proper...

0:10:47 > 0:10:49- ..especially things like harmonies.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52- I really felt - I wanted something different.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54- Something a bit more raunchy.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Injaroc didn't last very long...

0:10:58 > 0:11:01- ..and the band wasn't accepted - at the time.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06- But it gave rise - to a lot of other groups.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Endaf formed Jip, - Geraint formed Eliffant.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Edward H got together again - and I formed Bando.

0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Look at this.

0:11:17 > 0:11:18- Good gracious!

0:11:18 > 0:11:20- It looks unearthly.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Like something commissioned - by Steven Spielberg!

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Most people think it's spider web.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- But it's really a larval web.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32- The web's been woven by moths...

0:11:33 > 0:11:36- ..to protect - their little caterpillars.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40- It's more or less - a sign that summer's over.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42- It'll protect the caterpillars...

0:11:42 > 0:11:45- It'll protect the caterpillars...- - Throughout winter? They're in there?

0:11:46 > 0:11:50- It protects them from the weather - and from some predators.

0:11:51 > 0:11:52- It's interesting.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55- It's interesting.- - I could do with one of those!

0:11:56 > 0:11:57- To protect you, like a raincoat!

0:11:57 > 0:11:59- To protect you, like a raincoat!- - To protect me from predators!

0:12:00 > 0:12:03- There aren't any around here, - except for me!

0:12:14 > 0:12:16- 888

0:12:24 > 0:12:28- We're leaving the beach for the - woods, and the sun's shining.

0:12:28 > 0:12:29- We're leaving the beach for the - woods, and the sun's shining.- - It's lovely.

0:12:30 > 0:12:36- When it's like this in the Gower, - you don't need to go anywhere else.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- We're heading - for Nicholaston Woods now.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45- It's unusual to have a forest - so close to the beach.

0:12:45 > 0:12:51- I'm aware it's there but - I've never actually been in there.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55- It's good to have you with me - to take me there!

0:12:56 > 0:13:01- I worked there some years ago - but I haven't been back since.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06- You still perform regularly, - on television and on stage.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Do you still enjoy it?

0:13:10 > 0:13:11- I love it.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15- I often sing with a '60s band.

0:13:17 > 0:13:23- The members happen to be close - friends and we have a lot of fun.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Sometimes, after a hard week...

0:13:25 > 0:13:29- ..you just want a bath, - TV, then bed.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33- But once you're there - and the first notes are played...

0:13:35 > 0:13:38- ..you get that rush of adrenaline - or whatever.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42- It's always a lot of fun.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45- I really enjoyed - the Faenol Festival.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49- I had a different band there, - the Millionaires.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52- That gave it extra impetus.

0:13:54 > 0:13:58- Experimenting with different - musicians gave me a lot of pleasure.

0:14:01 > 0:14:06- As if you weren't busy enough, - you also have four children.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Yes!

0:14:08 > 0:14:09- Do you enjoy it?

0:14:09 > 0:14:10- Do you enjoy it?- - Yes, I do.

0:14:10 > 0:14:15- They're great. All four - are very good friends of mine.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Your children - have inspired some songs.

0:14:18 > 0:14:19- Yes, they have.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24- I wrote a song about Moc, - called 'Mor Dawel'.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28- Moc had trouble with his speech - for a few years.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32- He's better now - but we were worried at the time.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35- I wrote 'Mor Dawel' about him.

0:14:36 > 0:14:42- We were here last summer and I - watched the children on the beach.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48- The whole thing seemed like a film - - flashbacks in films.

0:14:49 > 0:14:54- I was thinking of how I'd look back - on that moment when they're gone.

0:14:54 > 0:14:59- It gave me the idea for a song - called "Wela'i Di Rhywdro".

0:15:00 > 0:15:02- It's about a child leaving home.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Elan, I suppose, - will be the first to leave.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11- It's about the day she leaves home - and how it'll affect us both.

0:15:11 > 0:15:14- This is called The Devil's Pulpit.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18- He gets all the best views!

0:15:18 > 0:15:20- There's one above Talyllyn, too...

0:15:20 > 0:15:24- ..which is one of the best views - in Wales.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26- The old rascal!

0:15:26 > 0:15:27- A magnificent view.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30- It's just so...

0:15:31 > 0:15:33- ..it's a very inspiring view.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38- All of it, with the sun on the sea.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Fantastic.

0:15:41 > 0:15:45- Out of everything you do - acting, - singing, writing, composing...

0:15:45 > 0:15:47- ..what do you enjoy most?

0:15:48 > 0:15:50- I'm always being asked this.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55- I think I could live - without them all except music.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58- I couldn't live without music.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Composing is what gives me - most pleasure.

0:16:01 > 0:16:06- Composing a song and seeing it - from its creation to its birth.

0:16:08 > 0:16:13- You must be disciplined - and you must have plenty of ideas.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16- I carry this with me everywhere.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18- It's like a notebook.

0:16:19 > 0:16:20- A Dictaphone.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Yes, so I can record my voice.

0:16:24 > 0:16:26- The quality is quite rough.

0:16:26 > 0:16:27- But it's essential.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33- Sometimes you get a good idea - but you forget it.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Do you sing into it? - Or record words?

0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Do you sing into it? - Or record words?- - I sing into it.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41- I sing, giving some idea - of the words.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47- I try to go for something - that people will remember, a hook.

0:16:47 > 0:16:54- It could be the first line of a - chorus or the last line of a verse.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Something people will remember.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59- For example, if I was here today...

0:17:03 > 0:17:07- ..and I wanted to write - about what I see...

0:17:07 > 0:17:11- ..this view brings West Coast songs - to mind.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13- The Eagles, people like that.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18- I'd think about that - and about some kind of rhythm.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Four-four, or six-eight or whatever.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Maybe a six-eighter would be nice.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26- And I'd go...

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- SHE SINGS WITHOUT WORDS

0:17:29 > 0:17:30- Something like this.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Then I think of a chorus.

0:17:37 > 0:17:42- # Seeing the sea before me,

0:17:43 > 0:17:46- # Da-da da-da-da, da.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51- # Da da da da, da. #

0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Something like that.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55- That was quite good!

0:17:57 > 0:18:01- I just make little notes like that - as a reminder.

0:18:01 > 0:18:07- When I get home I sit at the piano - and put chords around it.

0:18:07 > 0:18:12- I can hear the chords in my head, - even the whole arrangement.

0:18:12 > 0:18:18- I try to put some idea of the chords - and structure on this.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22- Then I take it - to a musical director.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24- Myf does a lot of that work for me.

0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Myf does a lot of that work for me.- - Your husband, Myf?

0:18:26 > 0:18:31- Yes. I give the tape to him - or to whoever will arrange it.

0:18:32 > 0:18:38- I give them some idea of what - I'd like to hear on the track.

0:18:38 > 0:18:44- I hear strings here, the bass - coming in at the start of verse two.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47- They transpose these scribbles - into a track...

0:18:49 > 0:18:51- ..with words and backing vocals.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54- It really is an amazing process.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58- We had a specific brief - with 'Tair Chwaer'.

0:18:58 > 0:19:02- The producers would tell me, - "In this part...

0:19:02 > 0:19:05- ..Sharon realises - her husband's having an affair.

0:19:05 > 0:19:10- "She's distressed, she breaks - her heart, so we want a sad song.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15- "This is the song - that starts episode three.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18- "Sharon feels she's had enough...

0:19:18 > 0:19:22- ..and she can't escape - from the rut she's in."

0:19:23 > 0:19:27- I was quite chuffed - with 'Unman i Ffoi'.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31- The sentiment fitted the story - very well.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35- There's also something very raunchy - about the whole song.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41- You sit in a place like this - and you think...

0:19:41 > 0:19:46- .."I'd love to bring Sharon here - for some peace and quiet!

0:19:46 > 0:19:49- "Away from that stupid husband - of hers!"

0:19:49 > 0:19:53- The words just came - - "Nowhere to run" - that tag.

0:19:53 > 0:19:57- It's important to have something - that people will remember.

0:19:57 > 0:20:00- "Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide."

0:20:01 > 0:20:03- # Well it's happening once again,

0:20:07 > 0:20:11- # No, there's no escape - to be had now.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17- # Every time there's deception. #

0:20:18 > 0:20:22- Every time I see 'Tair Chwaer' - or think of 'Tair Chwaer'...

0:20:23 > 0:20:26- ..I remember all the shambles - in their lives...

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- ..and yet the songs were composed - in glorious peace!

0:20:32 > 0:20:36- # There's no escape now. #

0:20:37 > 0:20:39- It's nice to take our shoes off!

0:20:39 > 0:20:40- It's nice to take our shoes off!- - Oh, it's nice!

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- This water's cold!

0:20:42 > 0:20:44- This water's cold!- - Very cold, but it's lovely!

0:20:46 > 0:20:51- A place like this - can give you a lot of inspiration.

0:20:51 > 0:20:57- But it's nice to come to a place - like this to do nothing.

0:20:57 > 0:21:02- And when you come to places - like this to relax and to forget...

0:21:02 > 0:21:07- ..it ultimately benefits - your work too.

0:21:07 > 0:21:08- Yes indeed.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09- You have to leave it behind, - sometimes.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11- You have to leave it behind, - sometimes.- - Gracious, yes.

0:21:12 > 0:21:17- As the saying goes, - a change is as good as a rest.

0:21:18 > 0:21:19- That's so true.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23- And the older I get, - the truer it becomes!

0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Here we are at Three Cliffs Bay.

0:21:35 > 0:21:36- Our journey's end.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39- In all its glory!

0:21:39 > 0:21:41- It's nice to sit down!

0:21:41 > 0:21:45- Goodness me, - that's what I call a view!

0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Wales at its best.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Fantastic!

0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Fantastic!- - I could jump into the sea from here!

0:21:53 > 0:21:53- It's magnificent.

0:21:53 > 0:21:55- It's magnificent.- - And it's cold!

0:21:55 > 0:21:57- That's true!

0:21:57 > 0:22:01- It's strange, sometimes you're - commissioned to write songs...

0:22:01 > 0:22:04- ..at the end of summer, say.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07- You have to write Christmas songs.

0:22:07 > 0:22:11- So you're sitting on the beach - singing 'Silent Night'...

0:22:11 > 0:22:13- ..under a blazing sun!

0:22:13 > 0:22:18- It must be difficult, having - to think of snow while sunbathing!

0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Maybe it's not so difficult, - it's just strange.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23- Santa Claus comes to the Gower, too!

0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Santa Claus comes to the Gower, too!- - Yes, of course!

0:22:25 > 0:22:26- It's great.

0:22:26 > 0:22:32- It doesn't matter what the - commission is, if I can come here.

0:22:32 > 0:22:38- I just hope I won't lose sight - of it as a place to relax.

0:22:38 > 0:22:44- That's the danger when you come to - a place like this for inspiration.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47- You think too much when you're here.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50- But I can switch off.

0:22:50 > 0:22:51- And relax.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54- It's been an incredible trip.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56- I've seen the Gower at its finest.

0:22:57 > 0:22:58- Incredible.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01- That's right. - Thanks for your company.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07- # Sleep in heavenly peace,

0:23:08 > 0:23:13- # Sleep in heavenly peace,

0:23:15 > 0:23:17- # Sleep in heavenly peace,

0:23:17 > 0:23:25- # Sleep in heavenly peace. #
