The many tongues of a playlist
Post last updated 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Music occupies a sizeable part of my day, especially when I work, as I often let it play in the background while I do stuff. Not the healthiest thing to do, but oh well. I'd listen to anything once, and often I've found myself enjoying things I didn't think I would at first. One thing my girlfriend and I like to brag about in our playlist is how linguistically diverse it is.
From time to time, I reflect on how fascinating it is that, though I can speak only two languages well and understand, to various degrees, glimpses of three others, music in languages I can't even differentiate between still touches me. So below you can find one of the songs I enjoy most—at the moment—in each language I have in my playlist.
You can send me song(s) that are dear to you, and I'll list them in my community playlist. You can also tell me why you enjoy a certain song, and I'll add that to the page.
