Did you know there are people that only listen to music in one language? They choose not to listen to music in other languages because they can’t understand it. They always say the same thing: why would I listen to it if I don’t understand what’s going on.

Here’s what I think: music is universal. It doesn’t matter if you can’t understand the lyrics. Music is something that you feel. You can feel the emotions of a song even if you don’t get the words. In the end, do lyrics really matter if you like the sound of a song? Even if lyrics are really important, in this day and age it’s quite easy to look up the translation of a song. When you do that you’ll find a treasure trove of beautiful messages. It really is that easy. 

All my life I have grown up listening to music in a variety of languages. From Spanish to Thai, you name it. I’m always open to new music and languages. I’ve discovered some of my favorite music just by branching out and keeping an open mind. It’s also a great way to discover different genres of music, instruments and artists. 

Who knows? You might be one language away from finding your favorite artist. 

Listening to music in foreign languages also allows you to immerse yourself in other cultures. This in turn broadens your worldview and challenges your existing beliefs. It’s also a useful tool for language learners! 

Music is an incredibly important part of most cultures. It truly connects us in a unique and powerful way.
