 Re: Music in Different Languages im listening to english and german music, but more english of course since i cannot think of many good german bands :P
i like japanese music too but theres very very few japanese music i want to listend to. most is even worse than our german music but i love the acoustic traditional music of japan. there was a band of japanese drummers in germany called "yamato" where i was at concert and it was freakin awesome i directly bought the cd after the show was over. really relaxing and pure music.
other than that i dont listend to much other languages music since i dont get a word anyways

Re: Music in Different Languages most of the music i listen to that has come out in the last 20 years is japanese. i don't understand most of it but i usually don't pay too much attention to the lyrics in english songs unless they grab me with their brilliance.. so i guess it's not the end of the world. i've also been getting big into brazilian bossa nova and samba-rock from the 60's and 70s lately. maybe some french a la serge gainsbourg but other than that it's mostly english music. just checked out your last.fm page and we've got a "VERY HIGH" music compatibility so maybe i can give you some japanese music recommendations! if you're interested let me know :P

Re: Music in Different Languages I prefer music without lyrics. Usually ambient electronic "lounge" music which creates a mood, like for a showroom or something, nothing more. I also like simple, wordless folkmusic, chanting and sometimes just drumming. I also like different sounds like the wind, boiling water, washing machines, particles colliding and rain against the rooftops.
Music overall doesn't play a big part in my identity. Healthy food, workout, clothes, and interior design, are all more important for my lifestyle and what characterizes me.
I'm not much into movies either. I'll watch anything that's a bit surreal, melancholic and atmospheric. Same goes for music usually.
You could say I'm an extreme minimalist in fields where the majority of people aren't, but at the same time I focus more in other fields. My life philosophy is a mix of misantrophy, primitive spiritualism and transhumanism. Dehumanized but at the same time in tune with nature and the ancient forces of the cosmos.

Re: Music in Different Languages I used to listen to a lot of Japanese music; I was obsessed with Dir en grey for ages when I was around fifteen. That was back when I was going through my Japanophile phase. Most of the stuff I listened to though is utterly cringeworthy to me now, apart from Dir en grey. I can listen to them and still recognise them to be good musicians.
The only foreign music I listen to these days is Rammstein.

Re: Music in Different Languages My music collection is mostly in English. Other languages:
- German: Rammstein and Lacrimosa, my Kraftwerk CDs are English language editions.
- Swedish: Finntroll
- Estonian: Metsatöll
- Polish: Zaraza
- Japanese: Ghost in the Shell soundtrack (don't remember the composer).
- and of course Finnish: too many to list here, no metal bands, though.

Re: Music in Different Languages Spanish or Latin, French, German medieval-esque music. Some Japanese, but not a whole lot.
I hardly listen to English music anymore.

Re: Music in Different Languages I do have albums and songs by bands from Japan (Boris, Cornelius, Number Girl, Nagisa Ni Te and Mad Capsule Markets are just afew I can think of) as well as a scattering of artists from other countries. Most of it is quite Westernised but I still find it quite enjoyable. I would say that a good portion of the albums I own are in English.
After listening to the Tropicalia and Brazil 70 compilations, I really wish I had more music from South America as I quite like bossa nova and samba styles.
The main tune only starts at 3:20 and doesn't last long enough in my opinion. I feel I should be doing some mad footballing skills on a beach in Rio when I listen to this.

Re: Music in Different Languages Balladen om Morgan Kane / The ballad of Morgan Kane Lyrics: (for some reason one verse is omitted from this version but this version is so cool that I wanted to use this instead of the original. The verse starting with "Texas Rangers hadde bruk for nettopp ham" isn't part of this version, I only added it so you guys can read the entire song) Balladen om Morgan Kane Translation:

Re: Music in Different Languages I am, admittedly, a massive weeaboo, so of course I have buckets of nauseating pop and techno.  Also listen to music in German, Sweedish, lots and lots of French, Spanish, lots of Russian...probably others too. I think the "oddest" language I have on my list is contributed by n.A.T.o., a project by the guy who produced t.A.T.u. She sings in Tajik and Uzbek sometimes, notably in her hit Be Umide. I think she's actually Russian, but it's still interesting to see a famous song pop up that's in one of those Central Asian languages. ...I think it's evident how Russian she actually is by the fact that all the typing in the video is in Russian.

Re: Music in Different Languages
Black metal from Italy. Lyrics are in Latin, and they're about orcs battling humans in the Tolkien universe. Pretty badass.

Re: Music in Different Languages ˆ That was nowhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be . I liked the melodic parts... Ok… this shouldn't be out of place now. Here's Pepa Flores aka Marisol, a former child star turned actress turned singer, a famed and respected recluse and basically the voice and the face of the 60's in Spain.  The song is about a woman who's in jail for life for killing her husband, who used to beat her. The song is a letter to the man she truly loves, who she's never gonna see, and she's just angry, more than anything. I like how the song is more acted out than sung, and that's about it.

Re: Music in Different Languages That first music video was absolutely hysterical. It sort of reminded me of the production quality of a really trippy Tom Petty music video, only I get the feeling they weren't trying to be trippy.

Re: Music in Different Languages I listened to this song on the radio, just so you can comprehend how old this is. Besides, they should have a shitty production quality because they are pinko starving artists singing about peace.
