Episode 2
Ordinary people work with music producers to create tracks with a personal meaning. Charles sings for the first time in years following a double lung transplant.
The second episode features 23-year-old Charles who has cystic fibrosis and for three and a half years was too ill to sing while he waited for a life-saving double lung transplant. Now he wants to sing for the first time with his new lungs and make a recording to mark the occasion. Ella Henderson's Yours was a song he learnt to play on his guitar whilst recovering in hospital, and he wants to record his own version to celebrate the moment he was given a new lease of life. Only twelve weeks post-operation, Charles needs the support of expert vocal coach, CeCe Sammy, to prepare his voice for the recording. Meanwhile, music producer and artist Sister Bliss, from Faithless, creates an epic backing track that will do justice to this moment in his life. Backed by a gospel choir, Charles makes an emotional performance in front of his mum and girlfriend.
Twenty-five-year-old Bethany arrives at the studio with some cherished home recordings of her dad, who passed away three years earlier. Music was an important part of their relationship, and from an early age, he would play the guitar while she sang. Bethany wants to know if producer Andrew Hunt can create something new with the old recordings. Getting married in a few months, her dream is to be reunited with her dad on a special track she can play on her wedding day. Andrew manages to find Bethany's dad playing one of her favourite tracks amongst the recordings - Jason Mraz's I'm Yours. After adding in additional instruments to create a backing track, Andrew invites Bethany back to the studio with her mum and fiance to add her vocals. It's an emotional moment when Bethany gets to sing along with her dad once last time.
