30
and like I've been writing songs about it for the past six years.
31
Long story short, I was trying to take my own life
32
and I decided to do it on a train track but I didn't and I was too scared to,
33
I went and sat on the train the whole night until I physically like, it was from like 12pm to like 6am,
34
I physically sat on that train until I saw the sunrise
35
and I felt safe and I created a story from

46
When you were 17.
47
I wrote this song three years ago, so seven years after that night.
48
And three years ago the song connected with so many people, they were telling me how it helped them.
49
It drove me crazy because it was like, I felt an imposter syndrome.
50
This was just my story.
51
It connected so deeply with them.
52
And after that period I started getting these dreams of what I call her the Sunrise Girl.

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.
