Not sure why this is in the "Punk" Forum--seems like it would be more appropriate to place it in "World Music", but I digress.
Yeah, some of my favorite music in high school was non-english. Stereolab was one of my favorites, especially because they seemed to directly influence one of my favorite American groups, The Rentals. Also, Dead Can Dance was a great group to listen to, creepy and ominous stuff. |

Music is a universal language, everyone can understand it, The lyrics are of secondary importance to me.
If you limit yourself to listening to music only in a language you understand, you will miss out on a lot of interesting musical experiences. |

Hmmm... I don't know what to think about this. On one hand, I could agree with NumberNineDream:
Quote:
Authors and listeners of the cover don't care about what lyrics say. It could be anything. On the other hand, many times I've thought that, without understanding the lyrics, a song cannot be fully appreciated. Also: What happens with rhyming songs? The same Wonderwall, for instance. Or Voy en un coche, which I mentioned in other thread yesterday. It's a catchy song, and, as Molecules said, "Spanish is f*cking hot". So, many people would like it. But there is something more: the rhyme. Quote:
The point is that, to value the merit of making a rhyme, you also have to know the meaning of the words. It's not simply a matter of phonetics. Obviously, you can be aware of the similarity between sounds. But if you don't understand the language, you don't know how difficult or how simple is to integrate music and lyrics into a coherent whole. Do you know what I mean?

haven't read the whole thread but posting to say that music's an international language. while I do appreciate being able to get the lyrics, the melody will always come first to me. so, yes I listen to music that has lyrics in languages I don't know.

^ Bah I know. It just confused me, cause the whole film goes on about the ex-Yugoslavia and such.
Any other Serbian music you know, cause I can't get enough of it.
