Les maken...
1
My name is Billie Eilish and I sing and write songs.
2
Me and my brother write together so we've been writing a ton lately.
3
Playing with my brother, it's really intimate
4
and we've always had a connection with each other where we have
5
that trust with each other where it's like I can be honest
6
because he's my brother and I feel comfortable telling him anything
7
because we get along really well and we always have so it's really fun.
8
You're about to see me sing two songs called Six Feet Under and Ocean Eyes, which are already out, and we're doing a new song called Belly Eight.
9
But you don't come back, it won't end well
10
But I wish you'd tell me to Our love is six feet under I can't help
11
but wonder If our grave was watered by the rain Could roses bloom,
12
could roses bloom,
13
but couldn't retrace my lips,
14
erase your touch It's all too
15
much for me Blow away like smoke in air How can you die carelessly?
16
Our love is six feet under I can't help but wonder If our grave was weathered by the rain Oh,
17
would roses bloom? Could roses bloom?
18
They're playing us out, laying us down tonight And all of these clouds crying,
19
I spread some love But you're cold as a knife Six feet under,
20
I can't help but wonder If our grave was watered by the rain Ooh,
21
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
22
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
23
ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
24
ooh Again But I Winning For you
25
I don't know why I don't I've
26
been watching you for some time Can't
27
stop staring at those ocean eyes Burning cities and napalm skies
28
Fifteen flares inside those ocean eyes Your ocean eyes,
29
no fear You really know how to make me cry When you give me those ocean eyes I'm scared
30
I've never fallen from quite this high Falling into
31
your ocean eyes Those ocean eyes I've been
32
walking through a world gone blind Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind
33
Careful creature made friends with time He left her lonely with a diamond mind And those ocean eyes,
34
no fair, no fair
35
You really know how to make me cry when you give me goals Those ocean eyes I'm scared
36
I'm falling away from the ocean
37
Those ocean eyes I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared

60
Sitting all alone A mouthful of gum in the driveway
61
My friends aren't far In the back of my car Lay their bodies Where's my mind?
62
Where's my mind?
63
They'll be here pretty soon Looking through my room For the money
64
Biding my nails I'm too young to go to jail It's kind of funny Where's my mind?
65
Where's my mind?
66
Mine, mine, where's my mind?
67
Maybe it's in the gutter,
68
where I left my lover What an expensive fake My V is for vendetta,
69
thought that I'd feel better But now I got a bellyache Everything I do,
70
the way I wear my news Like a necklace I wanna make them scared Like I could be anywhere Like I'm reckless
71
I lost my mind I don't mind Where's my mind,
72
where's my mind Baby it's in the gutter,
73
where I left my lover What an expensive fake My V is for Vendetta Thought
74
that I'd feel better But now I got a bellyache Maybe it's in the garden,
75
where I left my lover, what an expensive failure, my fee is for a vendetta,
76
thought that I'd feel better, and now I got a bellyache.
77
That was like when you go to an opera or something and hold all the applause.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
