Shadowing Practice: Rosalía sobre la Gentileza, la Intuición, la Fe y el Proceso Creativo de Lux - Learn English Speaking with Video

I want to start first.

Wow, wonderful.

I'm not saying words with what I just heard.

And, honestly, what came to my mind was that all the paths lead to God.

And you reflect it in an incredible way.

And so sincere that I know that when people listen to this song,

you will feel an elevation in the spirit.

So, I would like to thank you.

I hope so, I hope so.

I hope so.

God me oiga.

Amen.

I'm fascinated by your sub-stacks.

I have to say that...

I'm starting, I'm learning.

I'm excited.

I'm a fan.

It's a new format, it's different for me.

It's beautiful.

I hope you keep writing there.

I'm fascinated by your words.

Thank you.

I'm looking for a moment.

I'm trying to create spaces for a long time.

I'm going to dedicate a little time to do this.

I hope you stay a little more.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who has been touched with your words.

Mmm, it means a lot for me because when I see your videos,

you express yourself so well and you do it with so much sensitivity and knowledge that you like the two texts.

It means a lot, you know?

Yes, thank you.

No, well.

Very good.

In your sub-stack you wrote, make a album can be like to build a puzzle without instructions.

Now I'm wondering, how did you know that Lux, at the moment of building it, was...

you said, okay, here, or something in you said, I'd like to continue.

I think that there would be the desire or the temptation to always want to continue it,

continue it like something interminable.

It could be something interminable, and there's a little bit of that temptation to continue or not to end it.

But I think there's a moment in which one says, that it's time to abandon this.

I think that other musicians have said it very well, when they say that a song doesn't end, it's not to abandon it.

And I'm quite agree with that.

I think that many times it can be felt like this.

But there is also a feeling in the body, which is very curious, I always think, and is that until it's not finished,

my body is not relaxed.

I always have to listen to the songs to be able to get them to work,

and then, when it's not yet where it has to be, My body is in tension.

I realize, as soon as the song is happening, that I'm more rigid.

So I say, here clearly there is a lot of work to do.

But when I see that my body is more relaxed, more open, and I can listen to the song from beginning to beginning,

without tensioning me, and it's not something that I'm aware of, I don't know if I ask myself, I say, how am I?

So for me it's a very physical question.

It's like, ah, okay, here I think we're in a good place.

Wow.

That's incredible that your body is the one that speaks to you to say, here is where you have to go.

Yes, because when you have put the love and the love enough, the love enough, I think there is something,

I don't know if it's in the frequency, I don't know what it is, that makes you enjoy it.

In other words, when you have not achieved a recipe, maybe not, I don't know if you think it's a good thing, but for example, when you cook,

when you have achieved all the ingredients, everything in its just measure, everything is like it has to be,

the joy that you feel when you try that plate, there is like an open in the body, like an joy.

And it's so I think with music, too.

And the same with the recetas, when it's not in its place, it's like...

It's like...

I love this relationship that you put with the taste of this result.

It's very true.

Yes, for me, there's a connection there.

Wow, of course.

Well, you mentioned that at the moment of creating, there are three phases.

The vomit intuitive, the persistence and the puling.

So in this transition between this madness, but also being aware of the way to get to the process,

for you in what moment is this devotion?

Yes, I think there are many times that I do a lot of work that is intuitive,

and it is not even after that I understand what I was trying to do or what I was doing,

I think there is a lot of intuition and it is after that I rationalize it.

So, I have to feel, I have to take it.

And I think that many times the best work is so.

It's when you start in a more intuitive way,

that you're almost leaving, you're making space so that something has been done.

If that makes sense, if that makes sense.

And then, as I said in the text, it's like, to pull, to give it a look,

to understand that this drawing is here.

I normally start drawing without knowing how it will end up being this drawing.

Although with the songs I have an idea before I enter the studio, I have an illusion, an idea, but I have no clear the way I play or I play.

It's something that's more animal.

And then, yes, it's more a posterior and then you start to understand.

And I think it's very important to make that space.

Make that space for things to pass.

Wow, I love it.

How beautiful how you leave yourself in this state.

You take it for the water.

I try it, eh?

No you don't want to.

There are days that I do more, there are days that I do less.

And I also try to be gentle with myself.

100

If I don't have so much need to express myself or not,

101

I just try to live and tomorrow will be another day.

102

I don't know if you think about it,

103

There are more times, more difficult to communicate or to understand that others.

104

So, in a creative process, I have been able to execute this album, approximately.

105

And there have been moments of all kinds of things.

106

And I think that as artist, one has to leave those different states,

107

those moments that can look better and less good.

108

And not to be very serious, neither one nor the other.

109

When you get very well or when you get too well.

110

It's all part of the same thing.

111

Everything will take you to where you have to get.

112

I love it.

113

When you talk about things that don't get well, How do you have that feeling?

114

Yes.

115

I think that I'm not aferring too much.

116

I think that I'm never...

117

I'm not aferring too much.

118

Sometimes I'm losing my patience when I'm recording voices.

119

I can take days and days and days, I can take a lot of time to understand what I need to be a song.

120

And sometimes I can frustrate, I'm frustrated, but I think that every time I understand more.

121

Every time I have their time, if I leave it, if I leave it as I have to be.

122

I think that this song has taught me a lot of patience, I have taught me a lot of being more comprehensive with myself, and more patient.

123

And, yes, I think that...

124

Why did you say this?

125

Because of the...

126

A little bit of a child.

127

Yes, yes, yes.

128

Yes, yes, yes.

129

Because, many times, I think that if you don't...

130

I don't know, you don't...

131

You don't have to do too much when you think you've been great.

132

And another thing, you don't have to do too much

133

And in moments in which you might not have been released so well, I think you can keep more clarity and know where you have to go.

134

So it can lead you more quickly, not faster, but more direct to where you have to go.

135

Thank you very much.

136

No, thank you very much.

137

But wait, let's make it longer.

138

Really?

139

No, no, no. I would say we would have to do more questions.

140

Okay.

141

Okay, well, I have more questions.

142

Yes!

143

I'm ready to go.

144

Very good.

145

So, in Lux, I sent a total release,

146

where the music And it got me elevated to this point where I simply felt that I could touch the sky.

147

That's crazy.

148

What a crazy.

149

Yes, and that was the best.

150

Yes, because the record has that intention of verticality.

151

And you've succeeded, sincerely.

152

I felt when I'm getting off.

153

That's how I felt.

154

I said, wow, this is a way, where the spirit is elevated.

155

At least I had that intention when it was done, when it was recorded, there was that illusion.

156

Wow, when you were recording, did you think about putting the orchestra in your album

157

or was it like in the process that you were able to get the get there?

158

Inicial, before I started to make the project more formal,

159

and before I entered the studio, I was sure I wanted to make a different song to Motomami, and ideally orchestral.

160

I wanted to make it with that sound palette.

161

It's something I've never done before and that I've made it to me.

162

I'm trying to try it in those waters, in those situations.

163

Something that has made me grow a lot as a writer, as a realist, as a musician.

164

I have made me think of music differently, I think.

165

And there's a lot of challenges, it's very complex.

166

I was writing music with so many options and possibilities.

167

To have all the sections, the way you can use the sections.

168

It was a challenge and a game.

169

I enjoyed it a lot, but there was a clear idea of what I wanted to do.

170

Okay, when you say that you have many ways to make music, you just mentioned in your sub-stack,

171

when you do music, you feel that everything is done before and better.

172

How do you cultivate your own faith in your voice?

173

What a good question.

174

I mean, there is something very uncomfortable for me in the fact that nothing comes from the nothing.

175

There was something before I arrived, there was something while I was here, and there will be something that I will continue to see when I leave.

176

There is something that exists and that exists.

177

So I know that I do music very present artists who have inspired me.

178

I am conscious of creating something, as if something could come from the end,

179

it's an illusion, something that doesn't have much sense.

180

But it's an illusion that, at the same time, allows you to keep you up and say, I said, I'm going to study, I'm going to do music.

181

So, it makes me think that, for a artist, it's very important to me,

182

the work, the most round.

183

It seems that in producing,

184

in doing your art, you're constantly exercising, towards the work.

185

the other, or you yourself, or whatever it is, you consider it as the most round.

186

But, at the end, all your work will be justified maybe by that more round.

187

But at the same time, all those works, which are not the most round, are necessary to exist for the most round.

188

I think, one could sometimes be able to say,

189

or maybe to think, the soberbity of believing that you have done the work, the more round.

190

But maybe you never know what you will know.

191

I think that's what's nice.

192

You never know if you are getting to do that work, if you have done it,

193

if you are already done it or if you are already getting to do it.

194

I think that an artist, when he does his work, which is producing and creating,

195

I think it's always to be able to get away or to get closer to the film.

196

And never know if it's in a place or in another place.

197

And John Cage, for example, I wonder if he had consciousness or not,

198

or thought he was the most round or not.

199

I wonder if, in general, they have that feeling or not.

200

Because I don't have any idea.

201

I think I'm going to do it.

202

I'm going to do it and then I don't know.

203

Whenever I have an urgency or a need to create, I will follow it.

204

And I think that if an artist tries to find the most roundabout, I think that it's a bit of a natural nature of the artist,

205

which is simply to create.

206

If an artist just aims to do a work like this,

207

the more redonda, I think you leave you from the nature of being an artist.

208

Also, as a human being, right?

209

100%.

210

In your sub stack, in the first, in the first.

211

And I really like it.

212

But you really liked it.

213

I really liked it.

214

I really liked it.

215

I think that a lot of people, as I think, I feel like a human being, you feel like you're in a place.

216

You say, you're going to go to this or you're going to go to this place.

217

And when you read your entry, Leonard Cohen wrote Hallelujah in Chelsea Hotel, there were some words that I said,

218

it's like a guide, it's like a star in the sky when you were a girl, that you see and grow and keep you there in the sky.

219

So I feel these words where you say, you're in the right path when you can't see the path.

220

The more lost, the more found.

221

I would like to know, do you think Lux was the way to find you?

222

100%.

223

But I think all the songs that have been made from a look, I feel that I've made the song that I needed to make.

224

So, whenever it goes from that place, I think there will be a moment of being lost, of not knowing well.

225

If anything that you're doing is not doing well, or if you're not going to have any sense,

226

or if you're going to have any doubt, always overvoling everything.

227

But at the same time, you keep that pulsion.

228

It's because it gives you sense to your life and it fills you.

229

So I think there is that being lost.

230

Then, the more you get used to be lost,

231

the more you are in you and the more you are in that being alive.

232

Who was it?

233

It was Kids.

234

I think it was a kid that said something like that the internal disposition of living in the uncertainty,

235

I believe, without the need of facts or rationalizing.

236

I think it was from there.

237

I think it was fatal.

238

No, no, no. But it was from there.

239

It's a sense.

240

And sometimes I think there are moments where a person has to be guided by the emotions,

241

but by the same intuition, to reach out to the message.

242

So, what you have interpreted of that message is correct.

243

Interpretes.

244

It's correct, exactly.

245

And so it is.

246

One of the things that was really amazing was the different languages that I heard in LUC.

247

I said...

248

I don't speak them, eh?

249

No importa, no importa!

250

But it was fascinating how each song brought me into a different language.

251

And I think sometimes when I think...

252

We are all human beings, people who want the same thing, that love, that love, that love...

253

100%.

254

Sometimes we think that it's what we have to do to meet others.

255

And I'm fascinated how in the song you make a nido,

256

through the music, the lyric, what is being human.

257

It's a little bit of a moment.

258

It's a little bit of a moment.

259

I was like, I'm so surprised, I said, I'm going to go home and I want to read about the language.

260

Yes, yes.

261

Yes, yes.

262

Oh, thank you very much.

263

It's really exciting to say this because I think in the album there is really that desire, that illusion of approaching the other and trying to understand the other.

264

And I think through the language it's a way

265

that for me is natural to approach the other because I always have been interested in languages.

266

And I think, although I was a lot of the music, I realized that it was a lot of the illusion that we were so different.

267

Because, although we express ourselves in different ways, although we use different codes, at the end, we probably are talking about the same thing.

268

Exactly.

269

is like finding those connections, those points, all those similarities,

270

it gave me a lot of pleasure, it gave me a lot of sense to everything, as I was looking at different stories,

271

different saints around the world, and many of them, the stories were so different, but there were many points in common.

272

I love it, everything is connected.

273

Yes, everything is connected.

274

I'm going to pass a article that I've opened my mind.

275

It's called The Universo Canta.

276

It explains that scientists discovered that there are frequencies that are passing around us.

277

We can't hear it, but everything around us is.

278

You can feel it, even if you don't know.

279

I think you said it in a TikTok.

280

Yes.

281

I think I was here because I heard it say it.

282

It was very interesting.

283

100%.

284

I'll tell you something.

285

I have a project idea, but I don't know.

286

Cut.

287

No worries.

288

No worries.

289

I'll tell you.

290

I'll tell you.

291

It's beautiful.

292

Yes, yes.

293

We need to keep our contact.

294

When you come to Barcelona or Mexico, I'll tell you.

295

I hope I'll study next year.

296

If everything is good.

297

What do you want to study?

298

Design editorial.

299

Oh, that's nice.

300

So, if everything is good, I'll tell you when you're here.

301

I'm sure you'll send it.

302

I'll send you tips.

303

It's a good idea.

304

It's a good idea.

305

I'm a good to meet you.

306

I hope you could be more long.

307

No worries.

308

The next one.

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.
