1
A marvellous studio this evening with acts, brand new acts, great legends, all sorts of people.
2
And speaking of great legends, one of the greatest guitar players of all time, and great singers, great songwriters, the lot, we have David Gilmore.
3
Thank you.
4
Very nice to see you.
5
So, congratulations on your number one album, Luck and Strange.
6
I was talking to Matt Johnson and it was his first album for 25 years.
7
But this is your first album for nine years.
8
That's still quite...
9
It's not 25, but it's quite a gap.
10
Why is it so long?
11
There have been a lot of albums over a lot of years, and I'm slowing down a little bit at this point in my life.
12
It sounds great.
13
I'm working all the time, but without a timetable, and it just takes a while.
14
Next one will be much quicker, I promise.
15
You think?
16
Good, OK.
17
We'll all stand by for that in a couple of years' time.
18
Luck and Strange, great title.
19
Where does that come from?
20
Well, it's Polly's lyrics to a track,
21
which is a jam session that we did in 2006 with Rick Wright playing the keyboards on it.
22
We've repurposed it for this
23
and the lyrics are about the temptations of the sort of lifestyle
24
that I've had and other people in our business have had.
25
You know all about those yourselves.
26
Well, how difficult it is to resist those temptations.
27
Yes, I mean, that Piper's call is, you know, summoning you to follow and you find it hard to resist.
28
Always somebody, but also temptations and diversions.
29
It's always something to divert you, what you're trying to get with the music you're trying to do. That too.
30
But that's sort of a, these things are a long way in the past.
31
And Polly is, of course, a great author.
32
Very good title of that book, Lying in Bed.
33
Great title, that double meaning there.
34
But she's been doing some of the words, but also you've had other family members helping, haven't you?
35
Well, Romani, my daughter, is singing lead vocal on one of the tracks for the next song we're going to do.
36
Her voice is amazing, I have to say i heard her songs maybe 10 years ago or something
37
and she was good then now she's absolutely incredible she sang
38
with your band didn't she my big band she sang uh la vie on rose
39
made us all weep it was beautiful when she was 13 yeah exactly
40
because you are noted as one of the world's great guitar
41
players does the flow come out more easily i suppose um would the right piece of music
42
and the right words inspiring you there are still moments where
43
it comes flowing out very naturally other times takes a bit
44
more work now you've just done some triumphant shows in rome
45
at the ancient circus maximus home of the chariot races yes the you know gladiators
46
and all 150 000 people it used to hold until julius caesar up the capacity to 250 000
47
but we only used a tiny bit at at one end, a measly 15,000 people.
48
Well, that's pretty good.
49
And there were no chariots or anything.
50
Nope.
51
But of course, the question you just played in Rome, the question I know a lot of people are going to be asking, what did you have to eat?
52
Well, Italy is a legendary place for food.
53
I love Italian food, of course.
54
But we were a little bit stuck in a very lovely hotel which had a brilliant restaurant.
55
In a moment you're going to do the closing song on the show and Roman is going to sing it.
56
What is it you're going to be doing?
57
It's called Between Two Points.
58
It's a song by a band from the 90s called the Montgolfier Brothers.
59
Two guys who wrote this lovely song, lovely vulnerable song that Polly and I both listen to on a regular basis.
60
Until we came to the thought one day that Polly suggested that we do a cover version.
61
I thought we don't do cover versions, but on this occasion it's such a great song.
62
It's definitely worth it.
63
It sounds absolutely wonderful.
64
And congratulations on a wonderful record that's gone to number one, quite rightly.
65
Thank you very much, David Gilmore.
66
Thank you, Julian.
67
Lovely to see you again. And now...

この動画で身につけるスピーキングスキル

英語スピーキング練習に最適なこの会話から、2つの重要なスキルが学べます。まず、自然な応答のリズムです。ジュールズ・ホランドの質問にデヴィッド・ギルモアが答える際、「It's not 25, but it's quite a gap.」のように、短いフレーズを繋げてスムーズに話す方法が見て取れます。次に、話題の展開方法です。「Luck and Strange」のタイトルの由来を説明する際、ポリーの作詞やリック・ライトとのジャムセッションといった具体的なエピソードを加えることで、会話が豊かになっています。これらを覚えて、shadowing practiceで真似してみましょう。

聞き取りに注意すべき音のつながり

ネイティブの会話では、音のつながりや弱め方がよく見られます。この動画では特に、「a lot of」が「alotta」に、「sort of」が「sorta」になっているのが聞き取れます。また、「I'm slowing down a little bit at this point in my life.」では、「slowing down」の「g」が弱くなり、「slowin' down」のように聞こえます。これらのリダクションを覚えることで、リスニング力だけでなく、発音の自然さも向上します。shadowspeakをする際には、これらの細かな音の変化に注目してみてください。

ネイティブのように話すコツ

リズムとストレスを真似ることが、ネイティブらしい発音の秘訣です。この会話では、「Congratulations on your number one album」の「Congratulations」や「number one」にストレスが置かれています。また、「Why is it so long?」のような質問文では、最後の単語「long」が上がるイントネーションになっています。shadowing siteを使って、何度も繰り返し聞き、口に出して練習することで、これらのリズムとストレスを身につけることができます。shadowspeaksのような方法で、自然な英語表現を磨いてみましょう。

この動画を使ったshadow speak practiceは、日常会話のスキルを向上させるのに最適です。細かな音の変化やリズムに注目して、一緒に話してみてください。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
