At this very moment, I'm listening to a Finnish Song...The rhythm seems to be very soothing but I can't understand the lyrics that much...It's quite weird for me to fall in love with a song that I barely understood...How about you, do you do that same? What song would that be , in which language? What attracted you to listen to this song?

Dear friend,
I listen to spanish and arabic songs even though I do not know the languages and also other foreign songs. I do not know its meaning but I do like the rhythm and picturisation of songs. More if the song is catchy I love to dance to it also.

Of course,first of all,I'd like to listen Chinese songs and next I'll choose English songs because I'm a student and I must pass CET-6......

I am Hispanic and I listen to spanish music. I was raised in the U.S. so of course I'm going to listen to music in english. And then I really like to listen to music in Japanese and Korean. I would love to learn how to speak the both those languages but I find it so hard and I'm scared of even trying and failing. But when I listen to songs in those two languages I look up for translations of those lyrics. I really love music in those two languages because it's basically like the music here in the U.S. except that it's in another language.

This happens to me a lot. I actually really like J-pop (Japanese pop music). I like the feeling of the music, even if I don't understand the lyrics. Its good to dance to, or just loose yourself in. And sometimes you can get more into the feeling of the song if you aren't listening to the lyrics. At least that is what I think.
