Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast
Hello
Hey guys
I have an English question
Okay
Can you remind me?
Oh yeah
You know, I should ask you in a podcast class maybe
Okay, let's do it
So it's about my song called Water-repellent
So you have a song written about water-repellent
Yeah
So
Yeah
Because you learn the word water-repellent
You want to remember
Yeah
Yeah
Which is hilarious
And we talked about it
Why don't you write a song about it
So that you won't be forgetting it
Yeah
And you actually did
I did it, yeah
And so the hook part
Okay
I still haven't decided which one should I use
Okay
So the phrase is
I'll be your water-repellent in the storm
Okay
Versus
Okay
I'd be your water-repellent in the storm
So the first one was I
I will
I'll
I'll be
Yeah
Versus I'd be
I'll be your water-repellent
Yeah
So I searched about water-repellent
And it has a
発水性のある
That's an adjective
Okay
But also like 発水剤
That's like a 名詞
It's like a
Yeah
Yeah
So
I see
I guess that's how I use it
You're using it as a 名詞
Yeah
Okay
But what I'm thinking about is
Whether should I use
I will be your water-repellent
Versus I'd be your
And I'm now tending
Tending?
Tending, yeah
To the I'd side
Leaning?
Leaning?
Yeah, leaning
Yeah, I'd side
Because it feels more
Like a
If I write I'll be your
That sounds more light to me
Like I'll be
It's like a
It's very straightforward to me
If I say I'd be your
It's more like
I feel like I have a feeling
Like a kind of
Like you're more set to do it
Yeah, it's like more
Yeah
Like you're more ready to do it?
Yeah, I feel like
I mean, it feels like emotions inside
Like I'll be your something
It's like
It's more like straightforward and it's more
Like if this
If this condition happens, then I will be this
It's more like automatic thing
It's like
If this happens, then I will do this
If this happens, I will do this kind of
But I'm not sure about it
03:00
But to me
But I would
I'd be your
It's more
Like you have a feeling it
Mm-hmm
Like you want to do it
Yeah, it's like you're willing to do it
Yeah, kind of
Oh, okay
And that's why I'm choosing
Right now, I'm choosing I'd be your side
But how do you think about it?
First of all, I think both very natural
Okay, okay
The difference I feel is like
I'll be your water repellent
I'd be your water repellent
I'd be your water repellent
Like when you say I would be your water repellent
It feels like the backstory to it is like
The girl maybe wanted
Had a past of like a non-water repellent life
And you know, had a suffering
And you know, and the girl is like
Hey, I got wet
I'm soaked
And I was a disaster
And you hear that story and you're like
You spent days in the rain
I'd be your water repellent
Like you feel a little bit of that
You feel a little bit of a reasoning
Why you proposed of being a water repellent
You know, like you feel like
If you're in trouble
Then I'd be your water repellent
What are we doing here?
I'm right here
I'm ready to be your water repellent
I'd be your water repellent
You're suffering
I'm here, you know
Yeah
That's the kind of vibe I get
Oh, that's good
Versus like I will be your water repellent
It's like you don't see any backstory, you know
It's just I'm willing to be your water repellent
I don't know if you need it or not
I don't know if you have an umbrella or not
But if you do
I mean, if you don't need a water repellent
I'll be your water repellent
I see
Yeah
I see, I see, I see
Kind of, yeah
Yeah
Great, then I would be
Mm-hmm
You'd choose I would
Yeah, the best for me
Yeah, yeah
'Cause yeah, it has a
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
That's good
Wow, great
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Okay
How much are you gonna
Like how big is this song gonna be like
Is it gonna be like
Are you gonna
Is there gonna be like a
Like a music video out or is it gonna be
Why not, yeah
Are you gonna put it out on streaming services
Yeah, yeah, definitely I'll do it, yeah
Oh, shit, okay
Okay, so it's like
It's gonna be your one of your songs
Yes
One of my
'Cause it's gonna be under your artist name
Yes
One of my biggest single, you know
Okay, all right, okay
Okay
I just needed time to get ready to
Sort of adjust to that reality
06:00
Of how much your energy you're putting
Into remembering that word
Okay
No, I'm now like loving the
Concept of the word actually, you know
I love it, like water repellent
Oh, so you're
You thought that the word was interesting
Yeah, yeah
It's not waterproof, right
Yeah, it's not waterproof
It's different
So it feels like it's
You can't protect everything
That's true
That doesn't mean you can protect all the rain
Yeah, yeah
Like you can't go underwater and still be safe, right
Yeah
It's only protected from what's coming from the outside
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So that's very cute, no
It's like
True, okay, anyway
It's like I'm not saying like I'm Iron Man
Like a perfect guy that I can
Save you from anything
I see
You know
That's not something like that
I'm just a guy
I'm not perfect, but I try to like
Try to protect you
Yeah, protect you
I'm not perfect, but I try my best kind of
And I found water repellent is a cute word, so
Wow
Yeah
Wow
So
I think that's your skill, man
To be able to find cuteness in the word water repellent
Do you think that doesn't fit in a song, water repellent
Well, yeah
It doesn't fit
But, you know
Okay
That's your point though, right
Yeah, it is
Your point is to put random words in a song
That's right
I've never heard water repellent in any song
Do you think it's weird
Like if somebody, like for example
Let's say Ed Sheeran
Start singing a song called water repellent
Okay
If Ed Sheeran had the word water repellent
Yeah, yeah
In his lyrics
I would have to sort of think that
There's a very deep meaning
Into the word water
Because it's not just some random word
Yeah
It's so unnatural that he has to have
A strong feeling behind the word water repellent
Yeah
Like it's so significant
It really does stand out
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I see, I see
Yeah
Okay
Then good
Yeah
Is that what you're aiming for
Yeah
Because it's not a random word anymore to me
It's very
I find it very cute
It has meanings behind
And I love the stance of it
I see, I see, yeah
I don't want to say like I'll catch a grenade for you
You know
That's way too much
That's too much, that's too macho, you know
I'm not someone like that
I mean I have that feeling but
You know
I know I'm just a boy
Just a usual ordinary guy
But I try to protect you
Kind of
And I love it
Okay, okay
09:04
Interesting how your thought process works
You know, it really is interesting
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
All right
So
The song is already made
Not fully made
Not fully, not complete yet
Completely yet
But like the lines and the whole concept
And the whole, you know
Structure is made
I need to work on some lyrics
Just like I will or I'd
Okay, okay, right
But you've got the whole picture down
Yes
Now it's all like detailed process
Yeah, it's like you're adjusting a little bit
Wow, wow
Yeah
And next week
Next week, yeah
I have a recording day
You set a recording day
Yes
Okay
At the recording studio
At the recording, you, okay
With a recording engineer
So you've got a recording studio ready
With an engineer
Yes
Wow
For the water repellent
Water repellent song
Yes
Is there a title?
Is there a title for this?
Or is it not yet?
That's water repellent
Water repellent is the title
Yeah
Okay, simple and straightforward
Yes, yes, yes
Awesome, awesome
Yeah, put it in the title
So that
Yeah
I see, okay
Very interesting
Yeah
Let me know when the song is out
Yes, of course, of course
Okay
Yeah, all right
Good luck, good luck man
Thank you
All right, thanks for listening guys
Thank you
Bye
