    I mean going back to Cocteau twins

    she is singing lyrics and there is a narrative in theory but you would never know. And it’s English. It’s no diff than a foreign language album experience and it doesn’t really take away from the music being great

    The vocals are just another layer of production

    but you understand the words being spoken though

    you’re able to interpret the meaning, as abstract as it may be

    when it’s not in english, I’m basically hearing a cloud of white noise dominating over the rest of the music

    I mean I can’t really argue against you or RVI’s logic. I’m just saying how my brain works and how I consume music.

    I don’t know!!!

    but do you think its possible to push a little bit against that natural reaction and expand

    probably has happened tons of times with you and different genres of music. unless you liked every weird radiohead song or slow meditative Miles Davis song immediately the first time you heard

    i think you can beat your brain (if you wanted)

    Well that’s fair but there’s so much amazing music you’re kinda arbitrarily closing yourself off from wit this

    We just want people to experience it at the end of the day and it sucks bc we basically can’t share it with yall bc yall completely don’t care if it’s not in English

    production generally built around the vocals, maybe. but built around the lyrics themselves? i think not

    maybe? probably? I just haven’t felt motivated to do so, being there’s a lot of good english music I’ve yet to discover and can appreciate in it’s totality.
