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

hoorayforpeepee · 02-01-2010, 12:32 AM

Sure I would! I speak English, Danish and a lot of German, but while most of my music is in English, I also listen to stuff in French, Spanish, Urdu, Arabic and Icelandic..

I sure would, especially if it has a good instrumental and beat.

'Course, it's the music that matters.

Makes sense that.

I got a Latino Party CD all in Spanish. Can't understand a word except the odd word, but boy do I dance to it like a bastard when I'm in the mood!

I think music translates across any language barrier when it comes to melodies, rhythms, etc. However, it's always good to know what lyrics you are listening to at times. hehe I like listening to japanese, french, and spanish music where I may know half of the song.

Yep, I do all the time, cause I listen to a lot of classical music.

I have tons of Japanese, Russian, Polish, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, French, Dying-Moose, and Bullfrog-croak-noise songs. It's all good.

I listen to a lot of Romany and Cuban music, even though I don't understand either Romany or Spanish. I just feel the passion

I always react to the music first and if it's good then I would bother with the lyrics even with languages I do understand. So the answer to this thread's question is definitely yes.
