HeartSpod.

On the next couple of songs we're going to play have a lot of meaning for me

and I want you to listen to the words.

This song is dedicated to you all.

Hi guys, it's Stella.

Welcome back to the second episode of the HeartSpod podcast.

I've been waiting to film this for a really long time

and I'm so happy that a lot of you guys really loved the first one.

I saw a lot of the edits

that you guys have made with the previous one and just know I saw them all and I really liked it

Anyway, today's topic is a little bit different.

Today I'm gonna be talking about my song recommendations BAKSU Honestly,

I think the only time I've recommended songs is only on like Weverse through like comments

Like if you guys ask, oh, what's a song recommendation for today?

And I've left I think I've left quite a few songs to recommend

but I really wanted to take the time in this podcast to go through all of the songs I've liked

and the songs that have I guess meaning to me

so yeah let's get started I'm so excited

so I made a playlist I created it yesterday

and I'm gonna go through each song

and I'm gonna talk about why I like it you know what it means to me

and why I recommend it for you guys

First song is called Needy by Ariana Grande.

I think I've recommended this to you guys already through Weavers.

So you guys definitely know that I like this song.

But the reason this is the very first song

that I want to put on the playlist is because

when I was nearing debut or so when we were preparing to debut, you know, obviously it's not hard.

It's really difficult.

So there were times where I was really sad or I wasn't feeling my best, you know?

So I would listen to the song and I would sing it.

I don't know how to describe it

but I feel like I could resonate with the lyrics so much and it really helped me feel better.

The lyric that I really like is...

I admit that I'm a little messed up, but I can hide it when I'm all dressed up.

Yeah, I'm obsessive and I love too hard.

Get it overthinking with my heart.

How do you even think it got this far?

I think when I first heard this song, I was pretty young, you know?

I was really young when this first came out.

So at that time, I was just like, oh this is a good song

and I didn't really understand fully what the lyrics meant

but I think as I guess I've matured

and listening to it again I just felt like I could really really really resonate with it yeah

so I think it has a really special place in my heart especially

because it was the song that I sang the most when I was at my lowest I guess you could say

I'll sing a verse for you guys

If you take too long to hit me back I can promise you how I'll react

But all I can say

Is at least I'll wait for you

Lately I've been on a rollercoaster

Trying to get a hold of my emotions

But all that I know

Is I need you close

Here we go

So this is the first song that I recommend and

if you're going through a hard time or anything like

that listen to the song I definitely recommend

it it's definitely helped me a lot moving on to the second song

and this song is called love songs by cash page

I believe that's how you pronounce her name cash page

I think it's like the perfect song to listen to late at night

when you're like all on a drive or something and whenever I hear it, it just reminds me of warmth like the word just warmth

and peace comes to mind and it's definitely one of my favorite songs ever

I would love to cover it like properly for you guys one day

Wow

I don't know how to describe it but the instrumental like

when you first go in the instrumental

and then the voice I love it like it's it's

so good like you can't tell me that it's not that it's not good I love

Cash Page's voice like it's just so

so I don't know it's like just

so this I don't know how to describe it but

if you guys love R &B

and you guys love like chill I guess you could say chiller songs this is something you need to listen to.

And now I'm just noticing this but all of my songs are R &B and very chill songs.

Because for me, six of the songs I chose to recommend for you guys was songs

that makes me think back on my trainee days and my growth, I guess you should say.

And then the other four songs are songs that I've been into recently, but they're all very low and they're mellow and they're very chill,

they're very R &B.

This is a good representation of this type of music

that I really like to listen to and the type of music that I just like in general.

Okay, second song is Love Songs.

Let me sing a verse for you guys. Who got your time?

Who you been vibing with and why can't make you mine?

You used to be texting me to let me color me your slime

Now you can't treat me like you're worthless than a time

Okay, 여기까지 Very very highly recommended I'm sure you guys all know it

Okay, moving on to third song

Okay What should the third song be?

Okay Hearts to hearts, Flutter All the songs we're gonna play have a lot of meaning for me

This song is so good

Let's just listen to her sing

Okay,

Flutter is obviously it's a song by us It's a...

Surokok?

Oh, it's a b -side track on our first mini album, Focus.

I recommended Apple Pie from our first mini album as well.

So that's why this time I want to recommend Flutter because I also love this song so much.

100

And I think it's so underrated.

101

It's so good, guys.

102

For me, I think in all the albums, all the singles we've made in a discog...

103

Dis.. oh.

104

Whoa, okay.

105

Dis.. discog...

106

Dis...

107

Why am I buffering?

108

Wait.

109

Discography.

110

The songs that I love in all of our discography is all in the Focus album.

111

And my favorite part is...let me see.

112

Let me play it while I think.

113

Oh, okay.

114

This is kind of, I don't know if I should say conceited, but like, definitely my favorite part is the narration part.

115

This part. So, so good.

116

First part.

117

I just really like this part and I feel like it captures the essence of the song really well.

118

Obviously the song's name is Flutter and it embodies the idea of like, my heart flutters when I look at you

119

or you know embodies the idea of like crushing on someone who may not like you back.

120

I should probably sing a part from this as well.

121

I'll do my narration part.

122

Hey guys.

123

Hey, can you talk for a second?

124

Okay, it's all good. Was that cringy?

125

Okay, anyways, that's definitely my favorite part.

126

And I hope you guys listen to it a lot as well.

127

Next song, we have a lot to get through.

128

I think we've done three, right?

129

This song is called My Hair by Ariana Grande.

130

And this is a song that I promise one day, it might be this year, it might be in three years,

131

it might be in five years, in ten years, but I am definitely going to cover this song.

132

And I promise that to you guys.

133

I made the promise on this podcast, So now I have to do it and I am gonna do it

134

because I've been wanting to cover it for so long

135

So the song I sang the most while I was in the process of

136

preparing to prepare for debut if

137

that makes sense I was at the point in my trainee life where I was only singing Korean songs

138

I don't know if I mentioned this

139

but I was like almost banned from singing pop songs because I sang pop songs way too much

140

So I sang Korean songs for a while

141

and then I got back into it and this was the first song

142

that I like sang or like the first song I showed in my evaluation

143

but the song is so good it's like the epitome of R &B

144

and jazz yeah

145

and vocals the vocals are absolutely amazing the reason I got into the song is I was scrolling across YouTube

146

and then I came across the live I saw five videos that Ariana made a long time ago.

147

It was with the purple and pink background with the lights, and then there was a band, and she was singing live.

148

I remember just watching all those videos in my training days, and they just inspired me so much.

149

I think that's why I really love all of Ariana's songs is because watching her obviously inspired me as a trainee, but they also helped with,

150

like, you know, ooh, wait a second, okay.

151

Watching all of her videos and, like, listening to her songs inspired me so much as a trainee,

152

especially the live performances that she does and all the songs really resonated with me, I think deeply, especially as a trainee.

153

I think that's why I have such a heartfelt attachment to all of her songs and to Ariana as well.

154

The bass in the song

155

It's so good.

156

Let me sing a verse for you guys from the song

157

So I'm gonna give you some instructions

158

that you can't be scared to try I want you to touch it softly like the way you turn my mind

159

It got body and it's smooth to touch the same way as my skin.

160

Don't you be scared?

161

Here it is.

162

Next song is called Heartbreak Anniversary by Giv Yen.

163

This song is the song that first pops up into my mind when I think about my training life.

164

So for me, training life is Heartbreak Anniversary.

165

The reason is because this is one of the five songs that I sang in my audition in SM.

166

It was the first song that I showed while playing the guitar as well in one of our evaluations.

167

It just came through with me, through before when I was preparing to audition, to when I was auditioning,

168

to when I got accepted and did evaluations, to now.

169

And I still love, love, love this song.

170

So if you guys couldn't tell, I have a special guest with me today.

171

This is my guitar.

172

She is a beauty, yes.

173

Her name, what should I name her guys?

174

Something sultry like Vivian.

175

Or I'll name her something like Jessica Vivian Marinette.

176

I'll name her Vivian.

177

This is my guitar, Vivian.

178

This is my first guitar ever.

179

She's my first and she will be my last guitar.

180

Maybe.

181

We don't know about that, but.

182

On the 12th fret, she has a little star.

183

And I fell in love with this guitar as soon as I saw the star.

184

Because, obviously, my name is Stella.

185

And that means star.

186

And I thought, wow, this is the guitar I meant for me.

187

You know?

188

She's so pretty.

189

It's so pretty.

190

It's so pretty.

191

Isn't it pretty?

192

Let me show you guys.

193

Up close.

194

It's so pretty.

195

Tell me that's not pretty, guys.

196

I just exposed all the cameras and the lights in front of me, but yeah, she is so so so pretty

197

So let me play my audition song for you guys

198

Okay Balloons

199

are deflated Guess they look lifeless like me

200

We miss you on your side of the bed

201

Still got your things here

202

And they stare at me like souvenirs I don't wanna let you out my head

203

Just like the day that I met you

204

The day I thought forever, said that you love me

205

But that I lost forever, it's cold outside

206

Like when you walked out my life, when you walked out my life I,

207

you like this every time

208

On these days I feel like you and me Heartbreak anniversary, do you ever think of me?

209

Oh That's Okay That was my short little cover

210

Of Heartbreak Anniversary It's been a while So I was a little rusty

211

But I hope you guys still enjoyed

212

The next song I want to introduce is called Good Days by SZA I'm sure everyone knows this song

213

But I feel like this is another one of the songs

214

That I listened to a lot when I first moved from Canada to Korea.

215

So this was before my trainee days.

216

This was even before I was preparing to be a trainee.

217

When I was in school, actually, I listened to a song a lot.

218

And I love, love SZA.

219

I love all of her music.

220

But if I had to choose one song out of.. all the songs, I would choose

221

Good Days in a heartbeat.

222

And that's how much I love it.

223

I'll sing a verse for you guys.

224

Let me listen to it first.

225

It's this instrumental.

226

Like, you just can't go wrong with it.

227

I swear. So good!

228

Too soon I spoke, you'll be heavy in my mind

229

Can you get the heck out?

230

I need words out, got me bummed out

231

You saw you, saw you

232

Okay, this is gonna be a short cover

233

Good day in my mind, safe to take a step out

234

Get some in now, get your edge out

235

Too soon I spoke, you'll be heavy in my mind

236

Can you get the heck out?

237

I need words down, got me bummed out

238

You saw you, saw you

239

So, this is all right.

240

Okay, that was my short cover.

241

Next song is called Ghost In by Ariana Grande.

242

I feel like I've been saying this for every song, but this song is so, so, so good.

243

I think the lyrics for the song are definitely the saddest.

244

It's definitely a lot more, I don't know if I should say dark,

245

but it's a lot more serious and if you need to cry this is the song to listen to.

246

I feel like this is a great song to get all of your emotions out

247

and I feel like I resonated with it a lot as well.

248

And my favorite lyric in the song would be the first part.

249

I know you hear me when I cry I try to hold it at night

250

while you're sleeping next to me but it's your arms that I need this time.

251

I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again over him.

252

I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again instead of ghosting him. But moving on.

253

This song is called Like a Tattoo by Saeed.

254

This is a lot groovy.

255

It's more groovier.

256

It's jazzy, like tango vibes.

257

I don't want to describe it, but yeah.

258

It's a lot more, you know?

259

The vibe, if I could express the song with a dance move is this like the arm wave like just go

260

it's like it's like mmm mmm you know

261

and butterflies vibrant fias i think i recommended this

262

when i went to new york like we were on a radio show

263

and I recommend this song but it's just so good

264

that I had to recommend it again like properly for you guys

265

266

I believe that's how you pronounce her name all of Clara LaSanne songs are

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
