00:00Back to the album. There's 15 songs in the album. For each of you, can you tell me what's your favorite song in the whole album and why?
00:09That's a tough one. Okay, we'll have to pick one song each.
00:11I'm going to go with Starlight because I feel like that song, as Nikki is singing, I feel like that song is a very uplifting song.
00:19And it's a song that brings a lot of joy and a lot of hope, especially in the times that we are living in at the moment.
00:27Okay.
00:28I'm going to go with Always With Me. It's the last song, well, number 11 on the album, obviously for the Westlife old songs.
00:36But it's Always With Me. It's a beautiful ballad. It's about my mom and dad. Unfortunately, my mom and dad passed away in the last couple of years.
00:43So it was a bit of a difficult time, but I wanted to try and write a song that was quite positive about their love story.
00:49And that song is about their love story. So very proud of that song. And yeah, can't wait to sing it.
00:55Wow, so sweet. Mark?
00:57For me, yeah, there's a song on the album called Lifeline, which was, it's actually probably one of the more Westlife-y, ballady-style songs on there.
01:05And the song was really inspired by, you know, like everybody in the world knows somebody who's kind of been thankful recently for frontline workers and nurses and stuff like that.
01:18I know that like around the band, we've certainly, through various reasons, had, you know, been lucky enough to be cared for, not even just ourselves, but people around us and our families and stuff, been cared by people that are frontline workers and stuff like that.
01:34And that song was really inspired by them, but it's kind of just generically about people who, without whom you wouldn't be maybe where you are today.
01:45You know, people that have got you through very difficult times.
01:48And so, that's the song that I felt like talking about right now.
01:51Well, I mean, it's a hard choice because there's, I have some really, like I love My Hero on the album.
02:00I also love Until the End of Time.
02:02I think that's a really, really good ballad.
02:05Again, as Mark said, I think it's more of a tip your hat to old school Westlife.
02:11And there's one song that I was involved in the co-writing of, which is a song called Alive, which I must mention because I vividly remember where it was, what it was about.
02:21And the song is a very positive song about the world coming alive again, that people will, you know, get to dance again.
02:27And it's quite a positive, uplifting song.
02:29It's quite a dance song as well.
02:32There's kind of a dance, kind of background to it.
02:34And I do think when that's played and people play it, they can't help but smile.
02:38And that would probably be the one that I'd go with.
02:41So, number of tracks from the final life.
02:42Shane actually hums it, and he's going to hum it right now.
02:45Go.
02:46Go on, you do it.
02:47No, I'm going to do it.
02:48Come on, Shane.
02:50Go, Shane.

03:00You can't tell me.
03:02No, I was joking.
03:05Okay, Nick.
03:06So, listening to all these songs, it really makes us wonder and really want to listen to the lyrics because, wow, it's just all so deep.
03:16And maybe my last question for you is, you have so many fans here in Indonesia.
