Do you ever enjoy music in a language you don't understand? What's the appeal?

A natural way to answer
Definitely. When I can't understand the words, I focus entirely on the emotion in the voice and the melody. In a way, the music speaks for itself, and the language barrier fades into the background.
Key phrases to use
- gets to me — affects you emotionally, often deeply“That melody really gets to me.”
- fades into the background — becomes less noticeable or important“The noise fades into the background once you focus.”
- carry the whole thing — to support or sustain something on its own“Her voice carries the whole song.”
