Important times in our song

The way this song is made is very intriguing and is exactly why we need to note down these important times. It starts slow and then speeds up with drums and guitars then will it slow right down again, with almost soft, smooth coral music. One of the key points to the success of our video is to make sure when we know to fit our shot ideas into the right slot, in terms of the pace of the music, the instruments and the pace of the singing.
