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

Sometimes. I "listen" to the vocal as an instrument, so if it sounds good then I will.

Of course, Yes!

Yes. I have found that its all about the rhythm. I've picked up discs from street performers all over Europe in languages I dont speak.

I have in the past enjoyed to Buck Tick and occasionally still do.

I don't even listen to lyrics in my native langage, so yes. But it feel weird when I think about it.

It's really the style, mood and feelings conveyed by the song that gets me. So whatever the language as long as I can relate to it, I listen to it. I listen to loads of Japanese and Korean songs. Singers from these countries always make me feel whatever it is the song is saying even if I don't understand the words. I edit the tag of the song so that whenever I play it, I can see the lyrics both in its original language and as translated in English.

I'm sure it's been said a few times through this thread but, Sigur Ros. Most of their songs aren't even in a real language. He just sang sounds a words that sounded good to him at the time.

Yup - Try listening (and singing along) to The Cocteau twins. Even if you're a bloke... :ermm:

Yes. I do it all the time. As long as the rhythm is right.

Yeah I listen to Black stuff all the time.

I somehow get all the lyrics wrong in my own native language. "Douche in the Night" anyone?

Well you should know kpop by now... think of Psy. Some call it the Korean wave. Think I'm in.

Yes , I love music I have heard many such songs.
I can listen music in a different language .

Some one said that " Music have no languages "

Hi, I like song sin Hindi and English.

Europeen are doing that everyday with english song :lol:
They don't understand a word of what they are hearing.

Simply answer is Yes

Yes of course! I listen to bands like Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra (Japan), Yum Yum Orange (Japan), Ska-P (Spain), The Inspector (Spain) Ore Ska Band (Japan), etc. I like their music eventhough I need to search Google for the translations of their song. :)

I do it all the time music expresses emotion and how well that is done determins how good the music is. well at least to me it does

Hello,,,,, well i would like to say NO.....

It depend upon person to person dude.

russian indie rock music

Absolutely! I love Italian music and don't understand a single word. Also I like French music a lot without understanding much.

sure. i love russian folk songs even though i dont understand russian

Sometimes i listen german rap and i love it, i dont really understand german but they have some sick beats! SIDO, Bushido, Eko Fresh...

You mean like Hip-Hop? NO. Music from far away lands, on the other hand...

I like a lot of the "Metal" music from the Scandinavian countries. Some of it is in English. I listen to the instruments more than the vocals. Some of it would be a lot better without vocals (English or foreign language).

Of course! I don't care about the language whether I understand or not, as long as I love,enough:happy:

I sometimes don't understand lyrics in my own language - many a time I've been sing a song only later to find out I'd completely misheard it. Do like several German rock bands, and I don't speak German

Only if it is an exceptional song...

Actually I do, Despacito, bailando.

Yep, some even make languages up entirely. Cocteau Twins and Sigur Ros for example.

I thought Sigur Rós sang in Icelandic... my whole life is a lie :fear:
