1
I hate going to sleep.
2
I'm a firm believer that if I didn't have to sleep, how much stuff I could get done.
3
My mind is just, I don't know, it's always on.
4
And so I just have these awful nightmares all the time.
5
We're at this writing camp in Palm Springs, and it was Julian Bonnetto, of course, John Ryan, Matt Zara, Solly, Rocky Block, and Mickey Echo.
6
Me and Julian, every morning when we do our camps, me and him just take a walk and talk about the day,
7
talk about what we're gonna do, what's on your mind, and have quite a little therapy session about what's going on with me right now.
8
The night before, it was getting really late, and I was just not trying to go to sleep.
9
I cried to them about it, like, I'm scared to go to sleep.
10
I don't want to go to sleep.
11
And he was like, oh, we should write Bad Dreams.
12
It's really cool.
13
And so we did.
14
The first one is kind of, I know sleep is going to be hell for me.
15
You see the sun is going down, time's running out, and I'm by myself in the bed, and here I am.
16
And everybody's going to bed, and I'm begging my friends to stay awake and hang out with me longer.
17
And it's bedtime, and that sucks, because I don't like bedtime.
18
The anxiety of what it feels like to go to sleep, get ready for bed for me at all.
19
It's tough.
20
So I think it says that in a visual way.
21
You know the pre reveals that it's a love song, but I guess like an urgency to the person
22
that you are maybe co -dependent on to sleep when I first got with Rache, my baby mama.
23
It was wonderful.
24
She quite really understood, and it's been such a wonderful person in my life to help me with that,
25
somebody that's there with me when I wake up and will calm me down, and it's okay, and hold me, and be there for me.
26
It's always easier sleeping with her.
27
I don't know, there's just a freedom of anxiety already
28
when I'm stepping to the bed with her because I know that I have somebody there.
29
I'm not alone, you know, I guess.
30
And so I think that says this is kind of like a thanks to her, I guess, in a way.
31
You set me free from all of these, all of these.
32
I've always had bad chronic nightmares since I was a kid.
33
And one of the ones I remember vividly is my mom would get out of the car
34
and walk into her friend's house or the store real quick and leave the car on.
35
And I would sit in the car and the car would just kind of start going or backing up and leaving, driving by itself.
36
And I'd be trying to control it or stepping on and looking out the windows and banging.
37
And that's one I really, really remember.
38
Please come around, help me settle down, hellish habits can cloud my head.
39
What you waiting for?
40
Something physical.
41
I can't do this by myself.
42
What are you waiting for?
43
Something physical is kind of like, are you waiting for this stuff to actually happen in real life?
44
The stuff that actually happens in my dreams.
45
There's always this fear of when you're sleeping, feeling like it's actually for really happening and waking up
46
and feeling like I hope I wasn't like seeing the future in my dream, like some foreshadowing or something.
47
Rocky Block is responsible for that whole second verse.
48
We had written the whole verse through chorus of the song, and then he just got it.
49
He was like, I got the second verse right here.
50
It's just like, perfect, let's do it.
51
I call him Mr. Chat, GBT, man.
52
And so every time I sing that, you know, I just had him out riding on the road with us too.
53
And I don't know, it just always makes me feel close to him when I sing that verse, I guess, you know.
54
We knew it would be a hit, but without it being like a screamer, you know what I mean?
55
Because so many of my songs are like just me yelling for three and a half minutes, you know what I mean?
56
It's like the tip of my voice.
57
And the more I tour, the more I'm like, why did I write these songs to be like at the top of my voice
58
and I'm singing for two hours a night?
59
It's just not sustainable, you know what I mean?
60
So we were trying to also write something that just kind of had a groove, but like didn't require me to yell all the time.

  • I suoni “sh” e “zh”: foreshadow /fɔːˈʃædəʊ/, hellish /ˈhɛlɪʃ/
  • Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, sustainable /səˈsteɪnəbəl/

I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:

  • /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/, hellish /ˈhɛlɪʃ/
  • Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: verse /ˈvɝs/, cloud /ˈklaʊ̯d/, suck /sʌk/, dependent /dɪˈpɛndənt/, habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/
  • /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, bang /ˈbæŋ/, habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/, foreshadow /fɔːˈʃædəʊ/

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
