so we finally made it guys this is
number 25 of 25 bitesize lessons which
I've been making especially for you
because it's Christmas I hope you found
it helpful and enjoyable in today's
lesson as it's a special day i thought i
would do a learn English through song
session so we're going to do 'let it go'
from the film frozen
ok so let's look through the lyrics
firstly we have the snow glows white on
the mountain tonight not a footprint to
be seen
so the snow glows white to glow is to
illuminate so like my hand looks like
it's glowing because of the light here
the snow glows white on the mountain
tonight not a footprint to be seen
a footprint is the mark you leave after
your foot has been there so if I'm
walking in snow the marks left by where
i stand are footprints
so there's not a footprint to be seen
the snow is clean
no footprints a kingdom of isolation to
be isolated is to be alone to be cut off
so this whole kingdom this whole town
place is isolated and she says and it
looks like I'm the queen the wind is
howling we use the word howling to
describe wind quite often because when
wind blows really hard in makes a
sound howls so the wind is howling like
the swirling storm inside swirling
means to turn around so the wind storm
is swirling like this swirling storm
inside she's talking metaphorically
about these feelings that she has these
feelings of frustration anger and
they're inside her building up getting
more and more angry and upset so the
wind is howling like this swirling storm
inside couldn't keep it in heaven knows
I tried so she had an outburst she's had
an emotional outburst because of this
building frustration we say heaven knows
and God knows quite a lot to give
emphasis to what we're saying
heaven knows I tried heaven knows I
did everything I could
God knows okay should we listen to that
bit with music so what you should always
try to do is sing all the words properly
it doesn't matter about pitch or how
good your voice is, this is about learning
the words and phrases so we have nice
and slow
the snow glows white on the mountain
tonight not a footprint to be seen a
kingdom of isolation and it looks like
queen the wind is howling like the swirling storm inside
couldn't keep it in heaven knows I tried
the next section she says don't let them in
don't let them see she's talking about
keeping herself private keeping herself
to herself not letting people know how
she feels not letting people know what
she's thinking
don't let them in don't let them see be
the good girl you always have to be do
what is expected of you be the good girl
you always have to be conceal concealed
means to hide so if i conceal my face
with my hair or if I conceal my face
with my hands i'm hiding conceal don't
feel don't let them know and then she
said well now they know because she was
trying to hide but she couldn't help her
emotional outbursts and now they know
and then we have the the chorus which you
should all know but just to be sure of the
words it sings let it go let it go can't
hold it back anymore let it go let it go
turn away and slam slam means to bang
the door so you slam the door you bang
the door
shut so she's going to turn away and
slam the door she's going to neglect
them walk away from them abandoned them
I don't care what they're going to say
they can say what they like
I don't care what they're going to say
let the storm rage on
she's talking about that storm inside
that she's now let go let it rage
she's very angry she needs to chill out
okay and then she sings, very end she sings
the cold doesn't bother me anyway she's
basically saying I'm strong I can go out
and live on my own I don't need you
the cold doesn't bother me anyway
whatever
ok so that section with music goes like
this nice and slow trying to say all the
words don't let them in don't let them
see be the good girl you always have to
be conceal don't feel don't let them
know
Good and that's as far i'm going to
go the rest of the song is up to you to
figure out
so let's do once from the very top
through to there being mindful to say
all the words and trying to say
them correctly so from the very top here we
go
well I hope you found that helpful the
best thing to do now is go find a copy
of the original track and practice
singing along at the same speed
remember practice makes perfect so that
concludes my 25 bite-sized lessons I do
