Alejandro answered, “It’spretty easy I mean you think of how you would want to be treated if the rolesare reversed. You know I think a lot of this stems from our parents, we werejust raised to be very loyal and very faithful in any relationship, whetherit’s in a relationship with a significant other or as brothers to be loyal toeach other…”Fabian, who hasbeen in a relationship with his wife since he was 16 years old (Fabian is now31 years old), shared how he keeps his marriage happy. “I don't know, we havethis kind of understanding. It just comes naturally. I don't know when I’m athome we spend a lot of time with each other, we hang out, she’s just veryunderstanding.” When it comes to the brazen comments they’re getting on socialmedia, he said his wife “doesn’t look into the comments too much and doesn’tget jealous.”The band hasalmost eight million subscribers on YouTube and is popular for their covers.Asked how they choose what song to cover, Daniel answered, “At the end of theday for us, what really inspires us about music isn’t always just the sound butit's the lyrics and the emotions that it creates and I think from a very earlypoint we decided to keep everything stripped in acoustic and to let the lyricsand the vocal performance really shine through. There’s a lot of likeinteresting guitar things involved but a lot of times it really comes down todo we love a song and do we think we can bring something out in it that maybepeople had never heard before. And so a lot of times, that becomes taking a popsong that actually has lyrics or actually has depth to it and just bringingthat out but we won’t ever do anything that we don't think we can make specialor that we can make better.”<o:p></o:p>
