So I don't listen to much non-english language music but sometimes I come across one that stirs me even though I have no idea WTH they are saying. My favorite of these I think is from Kaleo

God loves you so much He'll meet you where you are. He also loves you too much to allow to stay where you are.

This is a song called Call of the Mountains that Eluveitie performs in multiple languages. I believe this one is "Swiss German"

Not to sound like Redstone but, most of what I listen to is non US.

Why does my brain think I should be able to understand what he is saying?? Is it English that I am not hearing correctly or not?

I thought to be like Redstone, you had to be the FIRST to listen to non US music?

That's the intent, actually. From Wikipedia:

Quote:

The song is intended to sound to its Italian audience as if it is sung in English spoken with an American accent, vaguely reminiscent of Bob Dylan; however, the lyrics are deliberately unintelligible gibberish with the exception of the words "all right".[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol#cite_note-1][1][/url] Celentano's intention with the song was not to create a humorous novelty song but to explore communication barriers. "Ever since I started singing, I was very influenced by American music and everything Americans did. So at a certain point, because I like American slangwhich, for a singer, is much easier to sing than ItalianI thought that I would write a song which would only have as its theme the inability to communicate. And to do this, I had to write a song where the lyrics didn't mean anything."[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol#cite_note-2][2][/url]

Aside from the fact that the singer is gorgeous I get a kick out of this crazy Finnish Polka
