1
I saw someone say it was like an anthem for male loneliness.
2
Performing it is like the best part
3
and I don't have to like think about the male loneliness part of it
4
because now I just get to perform it in front of people and shake my little ass.
5
Big fat ass.
6
We got into the studio and we always start really kind of early like 11 a.m.
7
Taylor would come in in the morning with his coffee and he would sit at the piano right away.
8
And he started playing the chords, or a version of those chords.
9
And I was like, I end my day.
10
And we started jamming in the room.
11
We had so many versions.
12
At the last minute we just switched something around in the chorus.
13
And then we were like, this feels like the turbocharged version.
14
This is like High Hopes 3000.
15
And so I was like, maybe we should call it that.
16
I end my day the same way it started, alone in LA while I grieve the departed.
17
Waiting, waiting for someone to change my life.
18
Hey, when I'm in album mode, my life is also very repetitive.
19
There's not much of a social aspect when like every week, Monday through Friday, you are going to the studio from 11 to 9 PM.
20
And then you're like dead and you don't.
21
It is lonely.
22
Brand new shirt.
23
Yes, it's a little expensive.
24
Oh, whatever works to put some joy in the engine.
25
You know, I say anything to put some joy in the engine, but I don't know how much that really helps.
26
But sometimes you get like the perfect shirt and you're like, put some joy in the engine.
27
It's like retail therapy.
28
And I go out on the town trying to change my night.
29
Mm?
30
And doing it over and over and over and over again.
31
All hell.
32
An ideal night for me would be like dinner with friends, paying as the food comes so you don't have to sit so long.
33
Maybe like one drink now.
34
And yeah, go home.
35
I need some high hopes.
36
Lord knows I could use them.
37
I know I'm a losing when the wheels fall off.
38
Hey, now, lend some independence, stuck inside the fences like a goddamn dog.
39
I think the worst part about dating, every first date you're having to start from ground zero.
40
What do you do for work?
41
Where are you from?
42
Oh, what took you to LA?
43
It's really annoying.
44
At a certain point, I'm just like, you just hit race.
45
It's just rock bottom.
46
That's the point where I start Googling adoption places for dogs and stuff, and I'm like, I need something.
47
Long nights, heavy feelings.
48
They say I'm unappealing when I shoot my shot.
49
Come here, honey.
50
Show me how to do it.
51
Does love come around or does one come around to it?
52
Oh yeah.
53
I think I was eager in kind of a pathetic way to find love.
54
And I think when you are that eager, you're kind of missing the plot a little bit.
55
And I think good things will find you.
56
I don't think anything good comes from being desperate, because then you're going to be blinded a little bit.
57
Feeling like you have a girlfriend or something, or a partner for one night is kind of romantic.
58
But also, if you're waking up in the morning and you're second guessing, I mean, that hurts a little bit.
59
But I think you just have to go into those things knowing
60
that maybe this person's a band-aid and not your love for life, I don't know.
61
Do I really believe that someone could change my life?
62
I'm doing it over and over and over and over again.
63
Where does it end?
64
When I was making the album, it was just a lot of back and forth of do I know best?
65
Is there something within me that I need to fix myself and and go put myself out there,
66
or will putting myself out there fix whatever.
67
It's like, you know, who knows?
68
That one I don't have an answer for.
69
Woo, talking about high, high, hopes, hopes.
70
Lord knows I could use them.
71
I know I'ma lose them when the wheels fall off.
72
Hey, hey, now, now, lend some independence.
73
Stuck inside the fences like a goddamn dog.
74
Okay now.
75
The bridge is really fun, I've never made anything like that.
76
This was musical and fun and loose, but still pop feeling, but also touches of country.
77
It was this perfect cocktail of everything I love.
78
I think that challenge of yes, on paper, these songs can be pretty depressing.
79
But sonically, distracting people from that is the goal.

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.
