foreign lyrics -------do you care?


Foreign lyrics - does any body care if you can not understand the lyrical content of a particular piece of music? Many of my non audiophile friends would not even pretend to entertain the thought of listening to foreign music. To me, the human voice is a beautiful and complex instrument wether or not I understand the lyrics. Emotion and passion are universal.

My point of view is a little different. Much of modern music contains lyrics that are basically inane prattle and self-indulgent dreck. Occasionally you find something beautiful and/or socially significant, but it is the exception.

Sometimes I put on some Latin music (which I rather like) and that way I can pretend that the words are beautiful and have deep meaning without actually understanding how run-of-the-mill they probably are...

Plus, I took Espanol in high school so I recognize some words and phrases and I can add my own slant from there. :)
