00:00To sing in front of the castle, like who gets to do that?
00:08It's a dream come true, man.
00:14So we're here at Ayr Studios, hung out some little legends with the Make-A-Wish Foundation,
00:18which has just been incredible.
00:21And we've been practicing the song, we're all ready to go and sing it.
00:25It's euphoric, it's everything that a Disney song should be.
00:30Today I had the most amazing opportunity of performing in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle here at Disneyland Paris.
00:40I just found out there's a dragon sleeping underneath, we probably woke her up because all of us were buzzing.
00:51Music's like the fabric that holds so many of us together, man.
00:54I don't know, it fills the spaces between us where there are usually divides.
00:57It's what unites us and gets you through the tough times.
01:09This wish was important to me because when I got poorly in 2019, I came to Disney and I was losing my eyesight because of where my tumour was and I couldn't see anything.
01:17Like, I feel sometimes I was ripped of parts of my childhood because I was forced to be mature and grow up so quickly.
01:23So to get to come here when I'm able to see again and be a kid again, it's amazing.
01:27Hearing that anthem for the Disney Music Festival literally just booming around the park all day long has been such a vibe, it's been so amazing hearing it in all its different styles.
01:44Sam is so incredible, he's made us feel so comfortable and he's made this extra special for us and I'm forever grateful to him.
01:53It's like their day and them getting to know each other and building those relationships, like, and if music is the backdrop for that then I'm humbled and honoured to just sing along.
02:02I'm humbled and honoured to just sing along.
