イントロ

Hi, I’m Sarah, welcome to The Daily English Show.

Today we’re studying a song by Brooke Fraser.

She’s originally from Wellington, New Zealand and she now lives in Australia.

The song is called Without You and I think it’s a beautiful song.



It’s a love song and the chorus goes:
I wouldn’t be the same without you.

The song starts like this:
The sky opens up over me and you
And you don't seem to mind that we're soaked through

The sky opens up means that it starts raining heavily.
And soaked means very wet.

Then the song goes:
You kiss me in the rain, I forget what I'm moaning about
And I know I wouldn't be the same without you

Moan has a few different meanings.

One meaning is: to make a long deep sound, usually expressing unhappiness, suffering or sexual pleasure.

But that’s not what she means.
She means moan as in: to complain about sth in a way that other people find annoying.

So the situation is … she is with her lover and she’s moaning or complaining about something and then it starts raining heavily and then he kisses her and then she forgets what she was talking about and she thinks about how much she loves her partner.







STICK NEWS

Kia ora, in Stick News today a man in the United States was got a 23 quadrillion dollar charge on his credit card after he made a purchase at a gas station.


A 22-year-old man stopped at a petrol station to buy some cigarettes.
Later he was checking his account online and found that he had been charged 23 quadrillion dollars.
According to CNN the man then panicked and wondered if he had accidentally bought Europe at the petrol station.
It turned out it was a mistake caused by a “temporary programming error”.

And that was Stick News for Friday the 17th of July.
Kia ora.

Word of the Day

Today’s word is replicate.

You might have heard the word replica before. A replica is a copy.
And the verb is replicate.

replicate v. make an exact copy of; reproduce

In today’s song, Brooke sings:
I couldn't replicate your touch or love anyone again this much

Which means something like, the way you touch me is amazing and no one would be as good as you.

Um, hip hop and reggae and … I guess you’d describe it as R&B as well. And I’ve been listening to a lot of Dam Native recently as well actually.
ヒップホップ、レゲエ、人によってはR&B というでしょう。　最近はDam Native をよく聴いています。

Timmy
Is that a group?

Sarah
Yeah, it’s a hip hop group. I l really love the lyrics of their songs. Well the album I have anyway … I don’t really know what they’ve done recently.
ヒップホップのグループです。　彼らの歌詞が大好きです。　まあ私は持っているアルバムしか聴かないので、最近彼らがどんな歌を歌っているか知りませんが。




Without You

The sky opens up over me and you
And you don't seem to mind that we're soaked through
You kiss me in the rain, I forget what I'm moaning about
And I know I wouldn't be the same without you

[Chorus]
I wouldn't be the same without you
I wouldn't be the same without you

I laugh at my own jokes and what I deem to be clever wit
And you don't seem to mind that I'm so stupid
You kiss me once again, I forget what I'm babbling about
And I know I wouldn't be the same without you

[Chorus]

I couldn't replicate your touch or love anyone again this much
But I wouldn't be the same without you

I wouldn't be the same
I wouldn't be the same
I wouldn't be the same without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
