Do you listen to music in languages you don't understand?

[Masquerouge]

Jovanotti? No?

lemme check...
Mmmh so I've never heard his songs on Youtube. What's his biggest hit?

Well, what I have his Piove (not that good) and Mi fido di te (good). There are others.

At this moment I cannot get Loituma out of my head.

Also everyone should listen to Kaizers Orchestra.

 

[thetrooper]

rammstein is the reason why I use the screen name ficken in some places (where I think I can get away with it)

You wouldn't get away with it here if I were moderator.

I listen to a lot of music in which I have no clue about the lyrics.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Sigur Ros is the only one I can think of right now - certainly the only music I've bought recently that is in a different language.

I have dozens of random songs on my computer that I like to listen to that I don't understand the words. I don't even know the languages on most of them, I just like to listen to them

 

[Ansar]

In answer to the topic question, I listen to Spanish

Cool!

I listened to English music long before i could understand the lyrics...

Somewhere, i still have the album of Indian music aneeshm posted once. A few years ago, i was into French Hip Hop. Various medieval rock bands i like sing in unfamiliar languages on occasions. I used to listen to a Iranian internet radio station with beautiful Persian music, to which a woman narrated something.
And there is Reggaeton, which i appreciate even though (or because) i don't understand Spanish.

Sometimes, the language is Portuguese. Tropicalia is so refreshing after a school day.

Muerte is the only word I understand also, but looking on the lyrics I understand everything!

I listen to Alizee. Well, I watch Alizee and sometimes listen. It's ususally just watching her though.

 

[CaptainF]

Did you like that song or were you just curious about its title?

Both!

Thanks much!

 

[GinandTonic]

This evening Ive listened to some french rap, a bit of opera and some wird chanting thing I assume was in latin.

 

[Quintillus]

I actually somewhat prefer to listen to music in languages I don't understand. With English lyrics, it can be frusterating if I don't understand a phrase, whereas I don't expect to understand anything in most other languages.

 

[colontos]

In general, no. The only exception is sigur ros. Otherwise, I focus a lot on lyrics so if I don't understand I don't find it very stimulating.

 

[Ansar]

Recently, I've been listening to Japanese music (mostly from watching anime in Japanese).

 

[Grisu]

I listen to Alizee. Well, I watch Alizee and sometimes listen. It's ususally just watching her though.

watching don't count or I would have listed her as well Maybe I need to get a song of her to check whether it still sounds sexy when the eyes are not being caressed by her sight

 

[Leifmk]

Hell, I listen to music where the lyrics may not be intelligible even if they're in English or Norwegian. I enjoy black metal from the Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Yup i listen to music in other languages.

German: Rammstein, E Nomine ... (i do understand parts of the lyrics tho)
Russian: PPK
Finnish: some Nightwish & HIM songs
Finnish dialect: Loituma
Italian: a few songs i don't remember
French: a few songs of the evil language have sneaked into my playlist
Latin: Era, some Enigma songs ...
Satanist gibberish talk: a few Profanum songs
And probably a few more languages. I remember a chineese/japaneese song ...

 

[Hitti-Litti]

^^

I didn't know that HIM and Nightwish sing also in Finnish.
