Gary Barlow: On Her Majesty's Service Page #3

---

I'm actually here today

listening out for voices

hopefully to put on my record, so

would you guys be up for trying out

some harmonies and some melodies?

Yes.

'This is why

I wanted to do this trip, '

I wanted to be set up in the middle

of nowhere on a desk,

with all our fantastic technology,

battling against the elements.

Because we've had a horrible,

windy day, there's dust

in all our equipment.

Perfect. That's exactly how

I wanted it to be!

'This is the most glamorous studio

I've ever been to.'

You move in here. OK.

Now you guys at the back,

you come and fill the gaps in

between their shoulders now.

The first line of the song

I want you to sing

is the title of the song - Sing.

That's all you say - Sing.

But there's a melody.

The melody goes like this.

Si-i-i-i-ing.

So the end of the line

each time goes down

and the second time goes up.

With a one, two, three!

Just si-i-i-i-ing

Just si-i-i-i-ing

Just si-i-i-i-ing.

'It's the feeling you get

when you listen to them,

'because music's all about emotion.

'And the emotion that they gave me

today was I just feel great.

'I feel great.'

It's good, sounds beautiful.

All of a sudden, I thought,

wouldn't it be amazing

to get one of these kids

to start the track?

Make sure you stay nice and close

to the mic. That's it, here we go.

Some words...

Some words

they can't be spoken

Only sung

'When Lydia started to sing

I got really excited.

'Beautiful voice,

really innocent, as well.

'And the little bit of pronunciation

that tells you she's not American, '

she's not British,

she's from somewhere else.

'And that's the flavour.

'We know we've got the Commonwealth

now on this track.'

So hear a thousand voices

Shouting love.

Gorgeous, absolutely beautiful.

'Today we've started the record.

That's what's happened.'

All of a sudden, we have symmetry

in our track and the Queen's life.

She started her reign here

and our song's going to start here.

It's beautiful.

We've made a good start

but I've got many challenges ahead

to make a record fit for the Queen.

I'm off now to the Great Rift Valley

to visit a Maasai tribe.

This may sound stupid,

but I'm a little bit nervous.

They're actually quite daunting,

physically and the way they dress.

Wow!

Hello! Nice to meet you.

You're so very welcome.

Daniel, how old are you?

I'm 27 years old.

And do you get married here?

About the marriage, my father

and the father of the girl

will arrange the marriage.

You'll pay 10 cows or 15 cows

for one wife.

And if I want to get a second wife,

the second wife will be

chosen by my first wife.

Hang on, wait one second.

So you've got one wife? Yeah.
