Do you like listening to music that's in a language you don't speak?

[David Brown]

Yeah I like Pearl Jam

 

[Slav Power]

I like to listen to Russian music, and although I'm not very fluent in it I can sometimes understand the lyrics without looking them up.

There's also this song that I know by heart.

 

[Roast Chicken]

A Latvian song devoted to oak trees. The men's oak leaf laurels kinda make them look like they have green afros.

 

[Nines153]

Often times in languages that don't even exist! Though at least half of my playlists are in languages I do not understand (most being Japanese or Korean)

 

[LateralusJambi]

I already posted a song that is in language I don't speak, so now I'll post why I like to listen to music in languages I don't speak, mainly Serbo-Croatian, but also Japanese, Romanian and Albanian: I don't have to focus on the lyrics, although I obviously sometimes look up what they mean. It's nice to "wind up" by not caring about lyrics sometimes.

Weeb.

Kino and Lyube are top tier.

 

[Roast Chicken]

Damn, Rammstein is based. @Stoneheart invite him into the fold.

 

[LoveBunny<3]

Yes! The soundtrack to Jack and the Cuckoo Clock Heart is so good!

[Mango Cobra]

Most music I listen to is either Germanic "Pagan-Folk", like FAUN, skald, Heilung, etc, scandi and mongol metal, and then dark ambient shit that has no vocals.

English lyrics tend to distract me from the song, if that makes sense.

 

[DenseDeerFather]

I will admit I am a weeb. So I listen to Japanese music quite a lot. On occasion, I can bend the knee to a few k-pop songs but that'd a guilty pleasure.

Nier + Automata + Drakengard and their "chaos language" have already been mentioned so I'll not sperg about those.
I am an ironic Eurovision fag so naturally, I get exposed to various songs in various languages.

One banger is this from 2017, Italy's entry.

And I don't speak a lick of Italian aside from pizza pasta.

 

[internet friend]

Vladimir Vysotsky has some absolutely moving songs, even when you don't understand a word of them

 

[Haint]

Cajun. Basically country music in french.

 

[DoNotFeedTheSneed]

 

[CharcoalChkn]

Sometimes I like to listen to a very specific genre of Japanese Rap, I honestly have no idea why it makes me feel so nostalgic for summer days when I was growing up, but it does.

 

[TVB]

For me, it's Albanian, Bosnian and/or Russian rap.

 

[TomServo]

French Nu-Metal is a pretty good in my opinion.

 

[Buoyant Armiger]

I couldn't care less about languages or whatnot as long as the vocalization goes well with the composition.

Honestly I'd rather be unable to understand lyrics than being able to, I find myself cringing at bad lyrics far more often than appreciating good ones, and even when I do find good ones, it doesn't add that much enjoyment.

 

[Pillar of Autism]

No idea what the fuck these guys are singing about, but I like this song quite a bit.

 

[Premium Gonzo]

All the bloody time, especially old school Latin dance music
It just makes me want to dance.
