What is the song of the summer 2026?- Harry Styles - "Aperture"
Harry Styles disappeared after Harry's House (2022), went musically quiet, let anticipation build. January 2026: announced Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. Lead single "Aperture" dropped same day—disco-funk with bassline, brass, "It's 1983 and it's also right now." Chorus: "we belong together" with brass stabs, pure joy. Debuted #4, climbed to #2, been top five for three months, 500M+ Spotify streams. Album debuted #1. "Together, Together" stadium tour launches July, runs through year—sold out in minutes. Can March release sustained by summer tour overtake Ella? Does retro disco-funk fit summer 2026? Harry's superstar status = tour as massive promotional engine. Garrett Fisher explores the wildcard that could surge at the right moment.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.640
Callaroga Shark Media. I'm Garrett Fisher and this is the
2
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:16.000
Hit Maker Chronicles. We're three weeks into our Song of
3
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.640
the Summer twenty twenty six series. Week one, we looked
4
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.280
at Ella Langley's Choos in Texas, the country ballad that
5
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.399
spent ten non consecutive weeks at number one and is
6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.920
still the front runner. Week two we examined Pink Pantherists
7
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.039
and Zara Larson's State Side, the international collaboration that got
8
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.640
a massive Olympics boost and became the number two contender.
9
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.200
This week, we're looking at the artist who never really
10
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.679
needs to compete, because when he releases music, the entire
11
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:52.320
industry adjusts around him. Harry Styles and Aperture, the comeback single,
12
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.840
the disco funk throwback that sounds like nineteen eighty three
13
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.240
and also like right Now, the song from an album
14
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.280
with one of the most audacious titles in recent memory,
15
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:06.840
Kiss All the Time Disco? Occasionally, can Harry Styles win
16
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.280
Song of the Summer just by showing up? Does Aperture
17
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.920
have what it takes to overtake Ella Langley and Pink Pantheris,
18
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:16.400
And what happens when one of the biggest stars in
19
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:18.879
the world returns after time away with a sound that's
20
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.719
both retro and completely current. Let's start with context, because
21
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.799
Harry's return in twenty twenty six matters as much as
22
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.799
the music itself. His last album, Harry's House, came out
23
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:35.560
in May twenty twenty two. That album was massive, as
24
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.640
it was became one of the defining songs of that year,
25
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.799
spent weeks at number one, won Grammys. Harry toured the
26
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.840
world for over a year supporting it, playing stadiums, breaking records,
27
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.239
cementing his status as one of the genuine superstars of
28
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:54.439
his generation. And then he disappeared, not completely. He did
29
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.319
some acting, made a few appearances, but musically he went quiet.
30
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:03.920
No singles, no features, no surprise drops, just silence. In
31
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.359
an industry where artists feel pressure to release constantly, to
32
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.560
stay visible, to keep feeding the algorithm, Harry just stepped away.
33
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:17.759
That absence created anticipation. When your Harry styles, you can
34
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.000
afford to wait, you can afford to let people miss you.
35
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.039
And by early twenty twenty six, when rumors started circulating
36
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.680
that new music was coming, the anticipation was enormous. The
37
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.319
album announcement came in January twenty twenty six, Kiss All
38
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:39.199
the Time Disco occasionally. The title alone was a statement, playful, confident,
39
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.960
refusing to take itself too seriously while also being completely
40
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.680
serious about the music. Harry wasn't promising a concept album
41
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.639
or a reinvention. He was promising disco sometimes when he
42
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.400
felt like it. The lead single, Aperture dropped on the
43
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.479
same day the album was announced, and from the opening
44
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:02.360
notes you knew exactly what Harry was doing. That bassline,
45
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.439
those horns, the rhythm guitar that sounded like it was
46
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.080
pulled directly from a nineteen eighty three Nile Rogers session.
47
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.159
The entire production was a love letter to classic disco
48
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:19.719
and funk, but filtered through Harry's sensibility, modern production, contemporary lyrics,
49
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:23.039
a pop structure that worked for twenty twenty six. The
50
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.280
song is about connection, about the moment when you realize
51
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.039
you and someone else are meant to be together. The
52
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:33.439
aperture metaphor works on multiple levels, like a camera lens
53
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.800
opening to let light in, like the moment when you
54
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.840
see someone clearly for the first time, like recognizing that
55
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.080
you belong together. And that chorus Harry singing we belong
56
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.639
together with those brass stabs punctuating every word, the bass
57
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.039
driving underneath the whole thing, building to this release that
58
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:55.680
makes you want to move. It's joy, pure unfiltered joy,
59
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.280
the kind of song that reminds you why disco existed
60
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.400
in the first place, to make people dance, to make
61
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.639
people feel good, to create moments of collective celebration. The
62
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:11.240
production is immaculate. Harry worked with producers who understand how
63
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.639
to make retro music sound current without feeling like pastiche
64
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.000
The drums are chris but have weight. The bass is
65
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.959
prominent but not overwhelming, The horns are bright without being cheesy,
66
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.439
and Harry's voice, that distinctive instrument that can shift from
67
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:29.279
tender to powerful, sits perfectly in the mix, leading the
68
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:33.759
whole thing without dominating it. Aperture is three minutes and
69
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:37.959
forty two seconds of pure confidence. It's Harry saying I'm back.
70
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.519
I know exactly who I am as an artist, and
71
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.279
I'm going to make the music I want to make,
72
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.040
whether it fits current trends or not, And if you
73
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:47.839
want to come along for the ride, great, If not,
74
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:53.680
that's fine too. The response was immediate. Aperture debuted at
75
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.360
number four on the Billboard Hot one hundred, not number one.
76
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.240
Ella Langley was occupying that spot, and Harry's first week
77
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.160
sales were strong but not record breaking, but four is
78
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.240
nothing to dismiss. It was the highest debut of the week.
79
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:10.839
It immediately became one of the most played songs on
80
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:15.720
pop radio. Streaming numbers were massive, and the conversation around
81
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.920
it was overwhelmingly positive. Critics loved it. Harry Styles Brings
82
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.680
Disco Back was the headline in multiple publications, a masterclass
83
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.240
in retrofuturism. One review called it the most fun you'll
84
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.639
have with a pop song this year, said another. Even
85
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.199
people who'd been skeptical of Harry in the past had
86
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:41.240
to acknowledge this song works. The music video helped. Shot
87
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.480
in what looks like a nineteen seventies recording studio with
88
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.439
vintage cameras and period appropriate wardrobe. It's Harry and a
89
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:52.519
full band horns, keys, bass drums, just playing the song live,
90
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:57.839
no narrative, no special effects, just musicianship. It's a statement.
91
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.839
This isn't manufactured pop. This is real music played by
92
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.199
real musicians, and I'm going to stand here and own it.
93
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.759
Since its release in early March, aperture has been climbing.
94
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.079
It hit number two on the Hot one hundred in
95
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.480
late March, held off the top spot only by Ella Langley.
96
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.839
It's been in the top five for three months. Radio
97
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:22.800
continues to add it. Streaming numbers remain strong. The song
98
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.079
has over five hundred million streams on Spotify and counting.
99
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.560
And then there's the album Kiss All the Time Disco
100
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.879
Occasionally dropped on March six, twenty twenty six, and it's
101
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.839
been a phenomenon. It debuted at number one on the
102
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:44.120
Billboard two hundred. It spawned multiple singles, though Aperture remains
103
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.240
the biggest, and critically, it's being praised as Harry's most
104
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:53.040
cohesive artistic statement yet. The album explores different facets of
105
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.600
disco and funk. Some tracks are pure dance floor, others
106
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.720
are slower grooves. A few incorporate elements of soul and
107
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.639
art and b but it all hangs together as a
108
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:05.600
complete work. You can put it on and just let
109
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.519
it play, which is increasingly rare in the streaming era,
110
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.839
where albums are often just collections of potential singles. The
111
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.360
Together Together tour was announced shortly after the album dropped.
112
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:21.319
Stadium dates across North America, Europe, Australia. The tour kicks
113
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.480
off in July and runs through the end of the year.
114
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.079
Tickets sold out in minutes. Demand was so high that
115
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:30.160
additional dates were added in most cities. All of this
116
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.399
position's Aperture as a serious song of the Summer contender,
117
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:48.160
but it also raises questions. We'll be right back. The
118
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:52.600
biggest question is whether Aperture is actually a summer song. Yes,
119
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.160
it's upbeat, Yes it makes you want to dance. Yes,
120
00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:58.920
it has that feel good energy that summer demands. But
121
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.959
it's also I bplicitly retro, it's disco, it's funk. Those
122
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.600
are sounds that evoke the past, not necessarily the present moment.
123
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:11.800
Does that matter? Historically, songs of the summer have often
124
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.040
been forward looking songs that sound like the future, that
125
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:20.720
define what's current. Aperture sounds like nineteen eighty three, brilliantly
126
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.720
executed nineteen eighty three. But still is there room for
127
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:28.319
nostalgia and song of the summer? I'd argue yes, because
128
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:31.439
Aperture doesn't feel like nostalgia in the way that say,
129
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.120
a straight cover of a seventies disco song would. It
130
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.840
feels like Harry taking elements he loves from that era
131
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:42.200
and making them current. The production is modern, the songwriting
132
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:46.519
is contemporary. It's not pistige. It's homage filtered through a
133
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:50.360
twenty twenty sixth sensibility, and, frankly, in a year when
134
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:53.559
so much music feels heavy, when Ella Langley is singing
135
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:57.879
about regret and choosing Texas over love, there's something refreshing
136
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:02.799
about a song that's just unabashing, joyful. Aperture doesn't try
137
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.480
to be deep. It doesn't try to comment on anything
138
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:08.759
beyond the simple human desire to connect with someone in dance.
139
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:12.679
That simplicity might actually be its strength For song of
140
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.600
the Summer. People don't want to think too hard in summer.
141
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.240
They want music that makes them feel good, and Aperture
142
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:25.080
delivers that without any complications. The other question is timing.
143
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.919
Aperture dropped in early March, we're now approaching July. That's
144
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:33.919
four months of availability before summer even officially starts. Can
145
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.840
a song maintain momentum for that long and still peak
146
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:40.919
during the actual summer months. Here's where Harry's superstar status
147
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.320
becomes relevant, because Harry isn't just releasing a single and
148
00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:48.519
hoping it catches on. He's launching a global stadium tour
149
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.960
in July. Every night of that tour he's going to
150
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.799
perform Aperture in front of fifty thousand to eighty thousand people.
151
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.639
Those performances will generate social media content, the song and
152
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:05.519
conversation will create new viral moments. The tour functions as
153
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.799
a massive promotional engine for the song. It's not just
154
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:13.360
radio and streaming keeping Aperture alive. It's Harry himself physically
155
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:15.200
in front of millions of people over the course of
156
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:19.039
the summer performing the song live. That's an advantage that
157
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.919
Ella Langley and Pink Pantherists don't have at the same scale.
158
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.720
Ella is touring but not stadiums. Pink Pantheris is doing
159
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.720
festivals but not headlining. Harry is operating at a level
160
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:34.320
where his tour itself becomes a cultural event. Let's talk
161
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:38.519
about competition. Aperture is currently battling Ella Langley for the
162
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:41.279
top spot. On any given week, one of them is
163
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.600
number one and the other is number two. They've been
164
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:49.879
trading positions for months. It's a fascinating contrast country ballad
165
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:54.759
about heartbreak versus disco funk about connection, slow and reflective
166
00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:00.480
versus upbeat and joyful, American roots music versus international pop.
167
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.600
Which one wins probably depends on what people want from
168
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:06.559
summer twenty twenty six. Do they want to sit with
169
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:08.919
their feelings or do they want to dance them away?
170
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.440
Pink Pantheris and Zara Larson's Stateside is still in the
171
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:17.639
top five, still a threat. That song has international appeal
172
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:20.679
and the Olympic story, but it's been fading slightly over
173
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.240
the past few weeks. It peaked in March and April.
174
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.639
By July, will people still be singing Boots that's my
175
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:32.639
ego boost? Or will they have moved on? And then
176
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.639
there are the other contenders will be covering in coming weeks,
177
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.639
Bruno Mars with I Just Might, Noah Kahan with tracks
178
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:44.960
from The Great Divide, Olivia Rodrigo with Drop Dead. Any
179
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.759
of them could surge. Song of the Summer is never
180
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:52.000
a foregone conclusion, but right now in late June, Aperture
181
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:55.159
feels like it's building to a peak rather than fading
182
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:59.080
from one. The tour announcement created new buzz radio is
183
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.960
still increasing space. It ends the song is still climbing
184
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.600
on adult contemporary charts, which suggests it's reaching beyond just
185
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:09.200
Harry's core fan base. Here's what I think makes Aperture
186
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:12.240
dangerous as a Song of the Summer contender. It's the
187
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:16.759
rare song that appeals to everyone. Harry's fans love it
188
00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.679
because it's Harry. Disco fans love it because it's genuinely good.
189
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.639
Disco pop fans love it because it's a perfect pop song.
190
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.960
People who don't usually listen to Harry are discovering it
191
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:32.799
because it's unavoidable on radio. That broad appeal is crucial.
192
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.360
Song of the Summer can't just be a hit with
193
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.559
one demographic. It needs to be the song that everyone,
194
00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:43.279
regardless of age, taste, background, knows and at least respects,
195
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:48.240
if not loves. Aperture has that quality. Even people who
196
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.639
might not be into disco funk can acknowledge that it's
197
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.559
well made, that Harry's doing something interesting, that the song
198
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:58.840
has craft and joy and confidence. It's not divisive, it's
199
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.399
not challenging. It's just good. The question is whether good
200
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.519
is enough to beat great. Because Choosing Texas might be
201
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.519
a great song in the way that songs become classics.
202
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:15.080
It has emotional depth that Aperture doesn't attempt. It has
203
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.080
staying power based on its meaning, not just its melody.
204
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:23.360
Aperture is more like a perfect summer fling, fun, joyful, memorable,
205
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:27.279
but not necessarily life changing. And sometimes that's exactly what
206
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:30.000
people want from Song of the Summer, not the song
207
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.200
that makes you cry in your car, the song that
208
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.879
makes you dance at a wedding that soundtracks a road
209
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:37.840
trip that you'll remember fondly without it cutting too deep.
210
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:42.279
If Harry's Together Together tour is as successful as projected,
211
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.759
and there's no reason to think it won't be, Aperture
212
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:49.759
will have a constant presence throughout July and August. Every
213
00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:53.639
tour stop will generate new content, new moments, new reasons
214
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.840
for people to stream the song and remember why they
215
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:59.679
loved it. That sustained visibility could be the difference. While
216
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.120
others songs might peak and fade, Aperture will keep being
217
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:06.799
reinforced by Harry's physical presence on stages around the world.
218
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.159
So where does Aperture rank in the Song of the
219
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.480
Summer race? I'd put it at number three, behind Ella
220
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:17.480
Langley and tied with or slightly ahead of Stateside. It's
221
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:21.279
a legitimate contender. It has momentum, it has a superstar
222
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:23.679
artist behind it, It has a tour that will keep
223
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.840
it visible all summer. But it needs to actually peak
224
00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:30.200
in July or August to win. Right now, it's been
225
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.799
strong since March. That's impressive, but Song of the Summer
226
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.559
is about dominating the summer specifically, not the entire first
227
00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:41.360
half of the year. Aperture needs a second wind. It
228
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.039
needs the tour to create new energy. It needs to
229
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.759
climb back to number one and stay there. Can it
230
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:52.440
do that? Absolutely? Harry Styles doesn't do anything halfway. If
231
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:54.480
Aperture is going to make a run at Song of
232
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:57.159
the Summer, it'll happen over the next six weeks as
233
00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:59.759
the tour launches and the song gets performed nightly in
234
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:03.360
front of massive crowds. This is the contender to watch,
235
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:06.720
the one with the resources, the star power, and the
236
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:10.440
tour infrastructure to make a late push. Ella Langley is
237
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:15.600
the front runner, Stateside is the underdog, but Aperture is
238
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.519
the wild card, the song that could surge at exactly
239
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.960
the right moment and claim the crown when everyone else
240
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:24.519
thinks the race is over. This is Garrett Fisher and
241
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.080
this is the hit Maker Chronicles join us next week
242
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:32.200
as we look at contender number four, Noah Kahan's porch Light,
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.640
2
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:16.000
3
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.640
4
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.280
5
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.399
6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.920

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:36.039
8
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.640

00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.200

00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:46.679
