00:00My name's Harris, I'm 17, and I live in Sheffield.

00:03Hi.

00:04Hello.

00:05How's it going?

00:06I'm Claudia.

00:07Harris, lovely to meet you.

00:08Have a seat.

00:09Good to meet you.

00:10I've just met all your family.

00:11Yeah, they are in numbers today.

00:12They are?

00:13I've fallen in love with these two.

00:15Tell me all about you.

00:16When did you start playing?

00:17I started playing when I was 10.

00:19So it's been about seven years.

00:20And as well as your penis, you're a football player?

00:22Yeah, Sheffield Wednesday.

00:23Stop it.

00:24Represent.

00:27Last year, I finished school.

00:28I did all right on my GCSEs, sixes, a nine in music.

00:32Then I moved on to my scholarship at Sheffield Wednesday.

00:35I barely even had the summer break.

00:36Everyone was going on summer holidays.

00:38But I was straight in for pre-season.

00:39So, yeah, that's what you got to do.

00:42My whole family's been fans of Sheffield Wednesday.

00:45My granddad used to go to the matches back in the day

00:47at Hillsborough.

00:48So that's why it's a special place to me.

00:50My granddad couldn't be there to see me get the scholarship

00:53because he passed in October of 2022.

00:56It's a shame he couldn't be there in the physical.

00:59Yeah.

01:00So he's a big part of my motivation.

01:02If I'm not on it in training,

01:03that's what I got to keep reminding myself of

01:05to keep pushing for him.

01:07If I could make it pro, first team debut,

01:10that's just, that's special, yeah.

01:12Just the two of us.

01:17My granddad, he used to love the song.

01:19I used to play it for him.

01:21It's a really special song for me.

01:23I see the crystal raindrops fall

01:26And the beauty of it all

01:28It's when the sun comes shining blue

01:31He's very good.

01:33To make those rainbows in my mind

01:36When I think of you sometime

01:38I want to spend some time with you

01:41Just the two of us

01:44We can make it if we try

01:47Just the two of us

01:49For you and I

01:51Nice voice

01:52Just the two of us

01:54Building castles in the sky

01:57Just the two of us

01:59You and I

02:02He makes it feel effortless.

02:03He's playing with a certain ease

02:05where you feel instantly comfortable

02:08Which allows you to listen to his voice as well.

02:10Yes.

02:11Just the two of us

02:13You and I

02:14I just want to play the music that I love

02:24But then also put a twist on it

02:26So I just felt like making it my own

02:28Just doing my own little cool bit

02:29Showing a different side of myself

02:31It's like I'm nervous and stuttering

02:33I don't know what to say

02:34Because your breath is beautiful

02:35Never felt this way

02:36Yeah

02:37I need this type of energy in my life

02:39Yeah

02:40This type of people you don't get them twice

02:41It's like

02:42Give it a whirl

02:43Oh
