[English]
Hello everyone. I'm AlexD, founder of AlexD Music Insight channel
And also the author of "The Love English", and today we won't learn about the song "We don't talk anymore"
We'll learn about another song
And this song. I don't know whether to call this song a sad or happy song
Because this song was banned by the government because many people committed suicide after listening to this song
But I think this is a good song that you must know
Everyone knows this song, I know it too, you should know too
This song is "Only love". I will divide it into 4 main parts
of the whole article. The first is
The Mystery
The 2nd is "Faith"
The 3rd is "Action"
And the 4th is "Hold on"
And let's look at the first part of this song
I'll sing the "Mystery" part first. Are you ready? Let's start
2 am. The rain is falling
Here we are again, standing at the crossroads again
You said you were confused. I can't decide
This means.
Are you asking me?
And I will help you understand two main things. First is:
Meaning and Second is the Phonetics of the song
And let's find out part 1 - The Mystery of love
Meaning and Second is the Phonetics of the song
And let's find out part 1 - The Mystery of love
You know, love is a complicated thing that everyone has to learn
must understand and learn from it
You know, when people first fall in love, they always wonder
Where should they go, what should they do and what should they decide
And that's it. is the meaning is the meaning of part 1 "The Mystery"
And as you can see on the screen here "2 am and the rain is falling"
Michael learns to Rock guy is singing about midnight feelings.
It's 2 am and I can't sleep
It's midnight because I'm at a crossroads
You can see the word "crossroads" here. "We're at the crossroads again"
So what do you mean when you say "once again at the crossroads"
When people stand at the crossroads, meaning in the middle, they will have many paths to take
It means he is making a decision, so is his lover. Decide for what?
Let's see. He said "You said you're so confused. You can't decide"
And this girl is very confused about the relationship with the guy
You know, we can divide the relationship into 3 main stages
First: Understanding each other. Also known as "Getting close"
Second: Is "getting complicated"
Third: Is the "Progressing or getting worse" phase
Those are the 3 main parts
The relationship between Mr. MLTR and the girl is entering the second phase: Getting complicated
And that's right. He said "I can't make a decision". Girls can't decide for themselves
I've taught you this phrase a thousand times
About this phrase. "Make up someone's mind" - Meaning to ponder when they are in the decision-making stage.
Kind of like facial makeup ^^
Oh my God
And I said "Is this"
Are you asking me again?
What does it mean?
Meaning... he doesn't know what to do
And this girl doesn't know what she should do either
And I'm wondering "Why did you ask me that question?"
Maybe you don't understand anything about our relationship
That's what I call the "Mystery" part
That's all about the meaning of part 1. Let's move on to part 2
That's Phonetics
As you can see above, there are 4 main consonants
The first is "Two_A.M". Two vowels
The sound ":u" and "ei" are connected when speaking quickly
There is a "W" sound in between the two vowels. I say it sounds like "TwowA.M"
And Connect the sound "Rain_is" falling
Repeat after me
That's good
Second
Once has the final sound /s/
Connect the sound "Once_again"
And we have the "R" sound in the word "HeRe we aRe" - A typical sound in the American accent
We say "heRe" and "aRe" with the "R" sound
Repeat after me
That's great
And let's watch it. I have the sentence "You're telling me you're so confused"
The short way to say "You are" is "You're"
And the "R" sound is at the end. I can pronounce "You'Re" with my tongue curled
The last sound of Confused is the /t/ sound
Repeat after me.
Great
Connect the sound "Make_up"
Repeat after me
And these last 2 sentences don't have any phonetic attention at all
Great! That's all about the meaning and pronunciation of part 1
"Mystery" part. Let's move on to part 2 "Trust"
Listen to me sing this part first and then learn about its meaning and pronunciation
Are you ready?
But only love can say
Try again or move on
But believe that you and me
The sun will shine again
So I just do my duty
And pray that you will change (Mistakenly singing "And wish you have change of heart" ^^)
But I can't make you realize (Mistakenly singing of See you Make_it through ^^"
That only love can do that.
Part 2. About "Trust"
Let's see how many positive words this guy said. One is "Only love"
"Trust" or you can see "One day, the sun will shine"
Or "I just do my duty and "Pray" and "Make you understand"
This guy is trying to show his love to the girl by saying that he still believes in love
And he says "Only love can say". Meaning that neither he nor she can make a decision
That's why he says "You don't need to decide. Leave it to true love"
He says "Only love can say. Try again or leave"
This is the complexity between relationship between men and women
But he said "But I believe it's you and me. The sun will shine one day"
I believe that in the future they might come back and love again from the beginning
And start again from the beginning
After all the complications and pain they brought to each other
And you said "I will only do my duty"
I will only do what I need to do. He doesn't try to convince the girl to love him
Because love is two sided. We can say that two-way street
That means you can't love from one side, right?
And I said "I hope you will change". And hope she will reconsider
to get back together
And he said "But I can't make you see"
Meaning he said "I can't. Because it's you and your decision. I can't"
I can't change you. Let love do it and he said "That's what only love can do"
This man believes in love. A person with faith, like a religion
That's about the meaning of part 2. There's a lot of attention to pronunciation in this part
Let's see. The first is "But_Only"
T stands between 2 vowels. I've taught you many lessons about this already
Change to /d/. "T" standing between two vowels and saying it quickly will become /d/
I will say /Bud_only/ instead of /But_only/. This is the American accent
So we will say
And Connect the sound "Walk_away" with the K sound connected to "away". Repeat after me the first sentence of paragraph 2
And next, connect the sound "But_I" like "But_Only" with "T" between the two vowels turning into /d/
We can say the following
The word "Shine". Note that most Vietnamese students incorrectly say the "sh" sound
Completely different from the Vietnamese "s" sound. If you want to say this sound, you have to curl your tongue and blow air.
Like that.
Next is the consonant "SO_I'll play my part". When two vowels are said quickly, it sounds like there is a "W" sound in the middle
In the middle, we can join them into "So_I'll",
Next, Connect the sound "Have_a" - Connect the sound between the consonant and the vowel. It's quite easy
Connect the sound "Change_of heart". Change has the final sound "d3". It's also a difficult sound
to pronounce because there is no such sound in Vietnamese
That's why I need to practice a little.
Curl your tongue and touch it to the upper palate with your neck vibrating
And connect "change" with "of heart". Can you pronounce...
So great
"T" between 2 vowels changes to "d"
The "k" sound connects with the semi-vowel "you" to "Make_you"
Repeat after me
Repeat after me these 4 sentences
Great. That's the entire meaning and pronunciation of part 2
Let's move on to part 3. Before moving on to part 3, listen to me sing that part first
Are you ready?
In your arms, when the dawn is breaking
Face to face but thousands of miles away
I try my best to make you understand, in suffering there is hope
If we give each other enough, if we learn to trust each other
Part 3 "Action"
This guy doesn't just talk. I'm doing it
And trying to convince her to come back to me
He said "In your arms when the dawn will be. Face to face but a thousand miles away"
This will clarify the situation between the two of us here
We have "In your arms, when the dawn breaks"
Same person, same place. Face to face but apart
It means they are in two different worlds
Two completely separate states and they don't have the same thoughts
And he said "I tried my best to make you see"
That in suffering there is hope
It means he was trying to pour all his energy into making the girl understand that
He tried to maintain love. He said "I tried"
You can see the Present Perfect tense, I have taught it many times
It will emphasize the "about" time
You can see the Present Perfect tense, I've taught it many times
It will emphasize "about" time
I'm trying to make her understand that I'm putting a lot of effort
into this relationship
And I said I've tried my best to make you understand that in suffering there is hope
Hope in suffering. I just remembered an old proverb
It says "After the rain, a rainbow comes"
He tried to make her see the bright side of the relationship
After all the suffering, they will understand themselves better
Love is not easy. You don't have to just say it
You must act. Must endure. Must go through difficulties and learn from it
If we give enough and learn to trust each other
Love is not just a noun but it is also a verb
If you want to be loved. Love first. Take action
Give and receive. Learn to trust each other
That's what men are. If you are a man and in love, I think you should be the one to always say sorry first
to the girl you love
That's about the meaning of this part. Pretty cool, right?
Action - You always need to take action in a relationship. Don't just say
And there are a few phonetic notes here
First is "In your arms"
I told you that the "R" sound is typical of the American English accent
Curl your tongue and connect the sound with the word "arms". I say "In your arms"
Because I have 2 arms, I will say "armS"
Connect the sound "Dawn" with /n/ at the end with /is/
Repeat the whole sentence
Remember that "face" has the /s/ sound at the end
Connect the sound "and_a"
Connect the sound "Milez_apart"
Repeat after me
Great
Like part 2, I said "Make_you"
Remember that there's has /z/ at the end
Connect the sound "Give_enough"
Give - ending sound "v". It will link with "enough" here. We'd say "Give_enough"
Remember the word "Trust"
Repeat both sentences here 1.2.3
That's great
That's all about the meaning and pronunciation of part 3
Let's move on to part 4 - the last part of this song
I'll sing first. Part 4 - Holding on
As I said about the end of love
Maybe you don't know where you're going
You can get back together or break up. And they're holding on to each other
They're trying to hold on to their feelings
Just listen to me sing
I know if I can find the words to touch your soul
I'll give our dream a chance (Mistakes Chance as Time)
Don't let it become a goodbye
It's something only love can do
Part 4 - Hold on
After trying, put all your effort and perseverance into the relationship
Trying to convince her to return to him
Maybe she doesn't respond
to the man. That's why he still lingers on
He is a lover. I think so. And let's see
And I say "I know if I can find the words to reach the bottom of your heart"
Meaning I don't stop
I'm still trying to reach the depths of her soul
To make her understand what I'm trying to do to maintain the relationship
And I say "I'll give our dream one more chance"
Meaning I try to convince the girl
If you give me one chance, we can start over again
Give our dream a chance. Don't say goodbye out loud
I told you love is a two-way street
If you make an effort and so do I. It means we are building a relationship
We always say we are building a relationship
Not just saying we love you and leaving it at that. Are not. We must build love
Relationship is not a noun. It is an action that everyone must take
And say "That's what only love can do". It means that if I love you, I will act
That's the meaning of the last part. There are a few notes on pronunciation
First is connecting the consonant and vowel "iF_I"
Touching the /ch/ sound is also a difficult sound in English
Because this sound does not exist in Vietnamese
So I need to practice a little. Say "touCH"
Connect the sound "Touch_you"
And the word "DeeP' has the final P sound connecting to "Deep_inside"
And repeat both sentences with me
And connect the sound "Give_our"
Chance has /s/ at the end
Repeat after me again
That's all about the meaning and phonetics of the last part and also the end of the article
