From first steps to first homes – Study reveals the unmissable moments that shape our lives
Samsung commissioned the emotive piece to celebrate the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, with Galaxy AI optimised for its expansive screen that brings you closer to your memories
Celebrating the moments that matter most, Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp has opened up his personal collection of home videos to be featured in new film accompanying an original poem released today, Life Unfolds Fast.
Narrated by Kemp and penned by poet Georgie Jones, the poem is a heartfelt exploration of the milestones that shape our lives. From proposals and marriage to saying goodbye to parents sending off their child to the first day of school, the poem captures the essence of love, family and connection.
Martin Kemp showcases intimate moments from his family life by sharing home videos featuring his family —wife Shirlie, son Roman and daughter Harley– adding a personal touch to the shared human experience.
The poem was commissioned by Samsung to celebrate the launch of the new Galaxy Z Fold7, its slimmest and lightest foldable smartphone yet whilst also boasting its most expansive screen ever, helping us relive the moments, such as Martin’s, that matter to us most like never before.
“Our research shows that over 40% of us take photos and videos for the sole purpose to not forget our best memories.” said Annika Bizon, Mobile Experience VP of Product and Marketing, Samsung UK & Ireland.
“The Galaxy Z Fold7 expansive screen brings you closer to life’s unmissable moments. It allows you to capture & revisit the memories you never want to forget, feeling their warmth and emotion time and time again.”
The film released alongside the poem, also features real-life footage from people spanning different ages, cultures, regions and identities, capturing the raw power of these moments as they are replayed on the screen.
Narrator, Martin Kemp, said:
“Some of my life’s greatest memories are those simple moments at home – playing with my kids in the garden, holding Harley and Roman as babies, and singing with my wife in the car. These are moments that truly define our lives. Sharing these personal glimpses allows people to see how small, intimate moments become the big memories we want to go back to over again, and with the Galaxy Z Fold7 we can relive these precious instances in stunning detail.”
