0:39:56 > 0:39:59- Our feeling as a panel, - and I think they agree now...

0:40:10 > 0:40:13- ..and we reach the exciting bit - sooner.

1:02:53 > 1:02:55- # I'll try to explain why
1:02:56 > 1:03:00- # You can't get blood - out of a stone #
1:03:01 > 1:03:06- I decided to go to Sain studio - in Llandwrog to record the song.
1:03:06 > 1:03:09- I look forward - to working with Myfyr.
1:03:10 > 1:03:14- I've met him a few times, - but I've never worked with him.
1:03:14 > 1:03:19- If it creates something in your head - or anyone who listens, let it be.
1:03:20 > 1:03:23- It's a song about a relationship, - essentially.
1:03:23 > 1:03:28- The girl has been strong enough - to see through her partner.
1:03:28 > 1:03:32- To see that he hasn't been honest - with her along the way.
1:03:32 > 1:03:35- In a way, that he's been acting...
1:03:35 > 1:03:40- ..playing someone faithful and true - who's in a solid relationship.
1:03:40 > 1:03:43- Once I started to play - with the terminology...
1:03:44 > 1:03:46- ..that he was putting on an act...
1:03:46 > 1:03:50- ..it opened the door - to describing the relationship...
1:03:51 > 1:03:53- ..in terms of him being an actor.
1:03:54 > 1:03:57- We're going to rerecord - the drums today.
1:03:57 > 1:04:01- We weren't sure - that everything worked together...
1:04:01 > 1:04:03- ..or about the quality.
1:04:04 > 1:04:06- The drum track - was recorded at home...
1:04:07 > 1:04:11- ..so we would get a better sound - if we did it in the studio.
1:04:11 > 1:04:15- We recorded a few other bits - after the drums.
1:04:15 > 1:04:20- I thought it would be nice - to ask my daughter, Malan...
1:04:20 > 1:04:24- ..to try to sing the song, - and she sounds very promising.
1:04:24 > 1:04:29- # What will you do, what will you do - now that the slate's clean? #
1:04:29 > 1:04:33- I think that this song - has a pretty good chance.
1:04:33 > 1:04:36- What we've accomplished today...

1:19:52 > 1:19:54- They were special words...
1:19:54 > 1:19:58- ..and it wasn't difficult - to write a melody for them.

1:20:50 > 1:20:53- The words are mine - and so is most of the tune.
1:20:54 > 1:20:59- We competed on Can i Gymru - hoping to get into the top eight...
