Shadowing-Übung: Sade Da Mix Interview 2000 - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

because this is a whole hour dedicated to shawty

because we're going to be chilling with her

and it's a pleasure all right now i mean you know

the good thing is um you know listen to your uh

new record uh lovers rock it's like the beauty of it

is it's like it's like you haven't gone anywhere it's like

there hasn't been a a missed note a missed beat it's

just it's just like bang you've like you've fallen right into

place we're going to talk about the new record in a second

but let's let's actually head back and uh and like the early 80s and you're with the group pride

uh featuring the three cats stuart matthewman uh andrew uh hale

and uh paul spencer uh and um and then you moved on

and uh you created each other did you ever think

that lyrically and musically you would you would hit and touch

so many people no i mean it was a surprise you

know at the time i just sort of accepted it you know

when it was happening and we because I had no choice than to accept it

because it was just going on and then when I reflected

and had time to look back you know I was amazed really at what had happened

what was

that time like for you you guys as a group you

know just doing what you did I mean you're doing something

you think yeah this is cool sounds great looks good well I think particularly me

because you know I was fronting the band it you know things changed quite a lot

but we were doing so much and it was

so relentless the amount of stuff that we were doing

that like I said we didn't really know what was going on

and it was only later that we thought you know look what's happened

and look how things have changed but I think

because we're a band it made it easier

if it'd been me on my own I think I may well have called it a day way back then

and you know carried on loving music but from afar and

but because they were there it was something

that was kind of shared there you know

and they were they always encouraged me

and said you know you have to just keep on you know doesn't matter how much it changes around you

and people's perception of you changes

or they are the same person suddenly the perception is

that you are a a different person and um but after a

while you know i i grew to be used to it

and just fortunately you know for me now i you know

we carried on the beauty of your music is the fact

that you touch

so many different uh people um hip hoppers are into i

mean i i can name a whole bunch of hip hop

records where shoddy's definitely been getting some love um you know

you have you know people you know parents are feeling your

music um how do your fans relate to you like i went you know

when they when they meet you do they you know do they they pour out their hearts to you

and tell you yeah it's really i i do um

that sounds a bit corny but i feel a lot of love i really do

because you're giving love um yeah and i don't know it's

so nice when you feel it like when you you realize

that it's simple you know it's simple you you make a record

and people like it or they don't like it and

if they do and they feel something from it they they tell you

and it's really nice on that level it's really simple

and basic and it's nice to get

that back yeah i mean even for myself i mean it's

it's it's taken me through i mean there's countless times i put your music on

and it's taking me to so many different places and yeah

so done done so much for me and uh and uh that's

that must be like you said must be a really gratifying feeling for you to actually feel

that love yeah yeah it is it really is yeah we know what we're gonna do we're gonna head back

and we're We're going to check out from the Diamond Life CD.

We're going to check out Smooth Operator because we're chilling with Sade.

We'll be back.

And we're back here chilling with Sade.

And after the success of Diamond Life and Promise,

you decided to take a three-year break, a three-year hiatus.

And I guess the one thing is, I mean, so many things surrounded that, you know, you heard rumors here.

And one thing you really managed to maintain was your privacy.

And being such a public figure, I always wondered how you managed to really maintain that.

Well, I just went back to my life each time and kind of pretended nothing had happened.

And in my world, you know, my friends and the people in my life, I'm the same.

You know, I go back and I come back off the road or whatever, and it's Shade, you know, just as she was before.

probably tired and thin.

Nevertheless, you know, recognizably the same person.

And so, because I live my life, you know, pretty much as I always have, then I can, I avoid,

you know, the sort of celebrity places

and you know I avoid the places where I'm I'm gonna be known

and expected to be and just live my life

and you know that's how I manage really to maintain certain

amount of privacy in I think a lot of artists would like to do the same thing I mean

because I think obviously being in the industry it is such

a machine it's it's album promotion yeah it kind of eats

you up you can eat you up really I think I think it can eat you up

and I think it can you can easily get to the point where you don't know where you are

or what you're doing or why you're doing it and if

that happens and you you have to step back

because you've got nothing to lose because you're gonna lose yourself anyway

and and lose your commitment anyway so it's best just to step back even if there's a chance that you know

You know try again, and it won't work

because in the end you it's not going to work for you as a person

and You know it's hard It's hard to make a choice like that because you

But in the end you really don't you can't lose out

if you do it your way and play it your way

Because if you do lose at least you lose at your game rather than losing it Somebody else's game.

You know so at this point what are the record executives doing like when you're taking that They gave up.

100

Yeah.

101

Yeah.

102

And it's like, you know, you can't push somebody to do something if they feel they can't do it at that moment.

103

And I think that they just, I think they're amazed even now, you know, I think they can't really believe that there is a record there now,

104

you know, that they're amazed that we did it.

105

Right.

106

and then in 88 you definitely hit his uh uh with the uh uh stronger than pride

107

and with that was the first time

108

that north america really got to see you uh live

109

and touring and what was

110

that experience for you actually to take the music you know

111

to the people it was hard for me i think uh

112

it's become easier performing uh i felt pressured i felt out of my depth um and And recently,

113

you know, as time's gone by, for instance, the last two, I felt comfortable.

114

I felt I could express myself and actually enjoy it

115

and give something out and get something back and just that whole vibe.

116

But before, I felt, you know, I wasn't really ready to be in such a, be so exposed.

117

So it took some time for me to feel comfortable as a performer.

118

With that record, you worked with a really great vocalist, Leroy Osborne.

119

Yeah, Leroy.

120

That brother can sing.

121

Yeah, he sings like a bird.

122

Your voices complement each other so well.

123

How did you guys actually hook up?

124

The first time I saw Leroy singing was, I saw him one time at Ronnie Scott's performing.

125

It's a jazz club in London and then I worked on this project.

126

I wrote a song with somebody called Simon Booth from Working Week for a film called Absolute Beginners, and I performed the song in the film,

127

and he performed a song for that film as well, and when we went down to the studio to lay down the track, our backing tracks, each person,

128

you know, he was there, and, you know, I remembered him from, you know, seeing him performing, and so that was my first introduction really to Leroy.

129

And I just loved his voice and we said we've got to have Leroy, you know, and he's for me, he's like a touchstone.

130

When we're in the studio, he's always sort of honest with me and he's a good friend, you know, and for me I have to work with

131

that vibration otherwise I can't do it, you know know

132

and uh yeah it's great working with him all right you

133

know we're gonna drop a couple videos nothing can come between us sorry

134

so go ahead leroy's in um feel no pain he's in

135

that video yeah all right we're gonna jump those

136

and come back hanging out with uh sharday we'll be back all right

137

so we're back here and uh we're chilling still chilling with uh sharday

138

and um now in uh i guess 92 um you put out another great cd

139

which was on love uh love deluxe

140

and um i mean at this point in your career um

141

i mean how do you believe how do you think you've had so much insight

142

with love and and sharing love and expressing love and giving love and um

143

just suppose the way i live my life and the way i am i'm quite emotional you know and um

144

when i go in the studio and when

145

when we're writing songs i always sort of put myself in a

146

and channel myself into this sort of state where it's all about emotions you know

147

and and then stuff just comes out

148

because I really you know go to the place you know to make it happen and uh...

149

Is that exhausting?

150

I mean do you come out of it?

151

Do you really feel...

152

Yeah it's energizing as well there's sort of there's two aspects of one it's like pulling you down

153

and the other is lifting you up

154

so you end up there on the level in the end yeah

155

but i think that's that's ultimately what i think you know

156

because as i sit here as an interviewer i'm also a big fan

157

so i think that's one of the things

158

that you definitely i i definitely feel like these there's times where i mean

159

when i put on your new record i had like a shitty day it's like i put it on

160

but it was like you know what i put it on

161

the day was done it was like it just just took

162

me where i wanted to take it oh thanks you know it's beautiful um

163

but then you you hit another tour the second tour um

164

and as you said that that was uh uh seemed a little bit better for you that yeah

165

because i think you know i've learned a lot and um changed

166

and developed my voice had become stronger and i wasn't

167

so afraid i wasn't so afraid of looking like a fool either

168

because i think you have to overcome that

169

that fear of like falling down you know that thing of tripping up

170

when you walk in a room it's a bit like that

171

when you go on stage you imagine it and then maybe you will You know, it's just to, you know, just feel good about it and feel that, you know, you're doing your best.

172

And if people come to see you, they don't want to see you fail.

173

Anyway, they're on your side.

174

They want the best out of you.

175

And so you are on one hand, you're under pressure to fulfill that commitment.

176

But on the other hand, you have to take from that and know that it's something good you're getting.

177

And then in the end, you become better.

178

Sade and the new CD is Lover's Rock

179

and I mean obviously you know people have talked about you know the absence

180

and the first thing I mentioned was the fact

181

that it doesn't feel like there's anything musically gone you know from you I mean it's all there

182

but what was what was that time like for you I mean you know

183

when you when you're looking at music and hearing music

184

and then bang you have to come out

185

and yeah put your on you know come back out again yeah what was

186

that period like for you well um um

187

when i'm in the studio i disconnect myself really from other music

188

and i think about people who i'd like to love what you know the great people who

189

when i'm when i'm in the studio sometimes uh we joke

190

and and i say to paula

191

or one of them you know would uh would marvin like

192

that you know would bob like that with dolly like

193

that you know whoever you know

194

and um it's like yeah i think dolly would like that

195

or marvin or you know whoever uh who there's great people you know

196

and um so but but apart from

197

that you know i really um disconnect with with reality in a way

198

and um and because of that i think

199

that we can get on with what we do rather than you know start panicking because you you know,

200

if we were to make a record like we make and think about is it going to be a commercial success, then we'll probably not make the record,

201

we wouldn't make those records, you know.

202

So not think about it and then worry about that after is the way we go, you know.

203

You've got some beautiful tracks on here, I mean, the Serita's Gift, I mean, it's beautiful.

204

And there's a lot of great, great songs.

205

When you actually came down to lyrically put this together, I mean, what was your mind state and what was really important for you to kind of get out?

206

Yeah, really more, I think, about this album.

207

I wanted it to be a positive thing and I wanted every song to have some kind of positive message.

208

That was the only thing.

209

It was like, in a way, I think it's more of a positive album in a way than the other albums we've made.

210

I wanted it to have a purpose.

211

I was only sure that I wanted it to have a good purpose.

212

I wasn't sure exactly what the purpose was, but I wanted each song to have some kind of strength

213

and something positive in it you know perhaps

214

because it's taken it had taken such a long time

215

and it was an important thing for me to do as

216

well I was away from my daughter you know at the time

217

and it to me it had to be good to in

218

some way justify the at my absences from her I have to have a good reason yeah she's four yeah Yeah, my son's three.

219

It's that time.

220

It's all about me.

221

But it's a good time though.

222

It's a good time.

223

I mean, as much as they learn from you, you ultimately learn from them.

224

Yeah, I like her because, I mean, all children, I love it when they can speak

225

and express themselves and become people it's a great moment alright

226

so you know what you know I check out the new new video by your side

227

and you like doing videos yeah yeah I do now yeah yeah some time yeah yeah

228

but you've done some you've done some great you've done some

229

great videos over the time yeah I was very early on you know it's very sort of stiff

230

if you notice in your love is king somebody like a

231

rod up my back you know in time I kind of relaxed

232

and try to enjoy as much as possible in it all

233

right all right we're gonna check out by your side

234

and the lovers rock CD brand new CD from shawd

235

and we're gonna be back show with her right after this

236

so we're back here

237

and still with shouting still hanging out still chilling out it's

238

been a what's been a great hour I'm having a good

239

time I don't care anybody else ever heard of it now without

240

that whole time there um you know uh paul

241

and andrew stewart you know they put out sweet back

242

and um now did you ever get like a little twitch

243

like going you know what no i was glad you know i was glad

244

that they they were involved in a project

245

that um kept them off my back

246

and said i was ready you know yeah now i was glad um

247

that they were doing what they wanted in a way it was a relief to me

248

because i i thought you know i wasn't ready at the

249

time i was doing you know those things going on in my life

250

that i was dealing with and i wasn't ready to devote myself to an album um

251

and uh so i it was quite a relief for me really yeah actually at

252

that time i actually interviewed them

253

and uh you know it's like okay you know i love

254

your album when's the shot album coming when's it dropping

255

and they were just saying like i mean it's like when

256

when you're ready and the time is right and uh

257

but you know i think the beauty of having those guys around you

258

and I don't I don't necessarily know this I'm not

259

so speaking for you but I don't necessarily know whether you could work with anyone else just

260

because of the fact

261

that you have such a strong bond yeah I mean you

262

guys just aren't you know a bunch of cats to get together you have a real strong relationship

263

and friendship yeah and also we feel so comfortable I feel comfortably in

264

that environment I don't feel at all self-conscious I could be as liberated as I want

265

and go anywhere I want and you know that

266

that for me is great

267

because that's how I can develop by completely being you know

268

on self-conscious now with with your voice do you realize what

269

your voice has done to I guess 40 million people have you realize I mean the emotions

270

that you know that it touches and I mean I mean your voice

271

and you walk around with it You sing with them, you know, but you realize, I mean, how hard to capture emotion.

272

I don't really think of it like that, you know, it's weird, you know, how it is as long as you hear your own voice sometimes.

273

On the answer machine or whatever, you know, no. But mostly I think it's natural,

274

you know, it's not contrived.

275

That's what I like about what we do it's not it's unpretentious it's not clever

276

and it's from the heart

277

that I know yeah for further the lovers out there I

278

mean do you have is there a shoddy message I mean I know it comes from your music

279

but is there because I mean we all fall in love we all fall out alone yeah I mean yeah

280

no it's just that I know that life's a struggle you know

281

and always be a struggle but

282

when you least expect it there's always some special great thing

283

waiting around the corner that's how I get through wine you know with

284

that optimism and to have the good thoughts

285

and usually good things will happen eventually you know even

286

if it's a struggle but that's kind of my little philosophy in life

287

and whatever disasters before you

288

and whatever comes your way you can always progress from those moments

289

and learn something and develop and then you get a kind of reward

290

because you move on and you grow and

291

so I'm like the eternal optimist with this album you know

292

we'll be blessed to go have another tour yeah hopefully yeah

293

we're gonna tour in springtime yeah we have one more video

294

and I was gonna leave this video up to you

295

and you can pick anything I mean if there's any artist anything

296

that you want to see uh we play this uh this would be shardy's pick

297

302

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
