Would you listen to music in a language you didn't understand?

Hit "play" while you still can, Artzie Music's account was closed some days ago due to copyright claims and who knows how long this archive will last.

Yes, I love listening to songs I don't understand. For example, I love Turkish music even though I don't understand their language.

[Vishwas_22]

Definitely. And I personally hear songs which I don't understand.

I tried listening to Mozart's Requiem mass once which I believe is in foreign but it made me feel like I should go to church so I said fuck that.

No, I'll stick to languages that I know like Ancient Aramaic and ebonics.

Is this considered a different language:unsure:

First of all, the music can speak by itself without any words. Instrumental music is the music without words, but it actually tells a lot.

Another point is music sung in a language I don't understand. For example, some time I've heard the "Loona - Hijo De La Luna" song and liked it a lot. I didn't understand a thing, but the music sounded pleasing.

The next step was to find that song on Wikipedia and read about it.
Hijo de la Luna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hijo_de_la_Luna

If the song is not available on Wikipedia I can find the song lyrics and use Google Translate to translate that song. So, why not?

A long time back I used to watch anime. Darker than Black soundtrack was pretty good.

sometimes the beat and the tones are simply more important than the words...but this comes from a person who enjoys a lot of instrumental :)

[soulshooter]

the language is all the same but the music beat is important ;)

[SantaKlaus666]

If you're young and don't live in an English country, it means that you listen to a lot of music you don't understand but can appreciate the melody.

Even if i understand the language, sometimes i dont really listen to the lyrics at all. Its all in the background and beat and overall feel is more important. Through Spotifys algorithm i have been exposed to lots of songs in languages i dont understand. Mostly the experience was awesome.
