Languages and Music

I wonder why sometimes songs in another language sounds so intriguing to me. Even though I don't know what the song is talking about, the words and texture of the language make the song interesting by itself. Sometimes the melody is catchy enough for one to just enjoy the ring of the language to the ear instead of having to understand the language. In a way it can be stimulating too because our brain will be inspired and excited by the new input of sounds of an unknown language. I am just rambling about languages because I just heard a song on a friend's webpage, which I think is Thai language... but I am not sure. It was definitely a cute song though. The sounds of the words in itself seemed like music to me♪

Maybe I should have majored in linguistics in college.

Rain into the Darkness

 Recently I am just obsessed with this song. It is Shina Ringo at her younger years. It is such a mesmerizing song!! Exciting and intriguing but not too much. Yeppp. I am in love with this song. Although I do like her as a band (Tokyo Jihen) better, I would listen to her solo stuff any day. Her charming voice has always been an inspiration to me. Let's hear this.

JROCK still calls me

Image
Hello blog.  I have not been listening to jrock for a while. Detoured into salsa for a bit LOL.  But I came back yesterday and listened to this old obscure artist that I still really like. Amano Tsukiko. And it still calls out to me so much! So I guess my soul is still gravitating towards my jrock/jpop after all this time.  Yay! She is not SUPER popular but I love her voice. Especially in this song. I have to say I didn't listen to all of her songs, but this one is definitely one of the classics for me.  Amano Tsukiko - Same (sa-me two characters in Japanese, it means shark . Not the English word "same")

Mellow Monday

It's Monday morning! Let's get mellow with old jpop. My old favorite jpop band Judy and Mary. She always cheers me up. I am in love with the guitar riff in the second half!  I wish the band would have lasted longer so that I could have seen them live. Oh well, that will have to go on my long list of small incomplete things in life.  Lover Soul - by Judy and Mary
