Have you considered listening to music in other languages? That way you don’t necessarily focus on the meaning behind the words since you don’t understand them. And yeah I see where you are coming from, I think it’s pretty cool! Cool brain you got

i’m sweet 24 years old and have been into audio ever since i started working.
I’ve been working in pretty good paying positions for a while and thus managed to get a pretty sizeable collection of a “lot” of things. I’m into all kinds of music and it gives me the ability to just put my computer at work to sleep for 10 minutes, lean back and just listen to something nice incase stuff ever gets over my head. I also use music to sort of meditate after a long day/week of work, it really helps me to relax.
I listen to music from all over the world. At least that’s what spotify said. 35 countries. I always want to know the meaning behind lyrics though, even in a different language. And sometimes I take what some lyrics mean and they mean fairly the same thing to me, yet in a different way. Kind of hard to explain lol.

I was asking @aldelaro5 because of his adhd. The reason he listens to game music seemed that he would benefit from hearing something he dosent understand.
LOL, I mean maybe. What languages do you end up listening to the most?
I think I have SLIGHTLY more luck with jp lyrics, but it’s only marginal.
It’s really a matter of how separately the instruments sounds to the vocals, but for good reasons, they are often separate anyway.

English 
.
But as far as others, I listen to a lot of Hans Zimmer with Lebo M, so maybe Zulu or some other African language?
Russian too, a good bit of russian songs.
I listen to German music too a little.
And a little Japanese thrown in maybe.

Ah I see, I guess that makes sense. Seems better to just stick to VGM then since most recordings for obvious reasons strive to seperate the vocals as much as possible
Oooooooh!!! That’s really cool! I don’t know anyone else who listens to alot of African music! And English is what I listen to the least lol. Speaking of opposites. I mostly listen to Spanish and Korean.
hey Soren…what do you mean you listen to the likes of Zimmerman but in different languages? Zimmerman’s stuff is orchestral, language agnostic, no?
Yeah, I think that African people have a very special talent for rhythm and harmony in a way that a lot of other people don’t. I always preferred the african church music rather than the Baptist music in churches that I have been to. One sounds like a celebration and actually is enjoyable and fun, and the other sounds like a funeral to me, no offense.

oh, you meant other culture’s music, not Zimmerman with some weird linguistic spin…that made me curious, LoL!
I’m not much for religious music, but I do enjoy me some Gregorian chant! 
Oh, Hans Zimmer. He did some soundtracks with Lebo M. and african choirs. Some examples:
The Power Of One Soundtrack
The Lion King
Tears Of The Sun

Top 5 most difficult words to spell in the English language.
As a mixing engineer, your sensitivity sounds really neat, and that’s great you found a genre that brings you joy.
What are the English vocal songs that you enjoy?
True. 
English in my opinion is actually a really weird language.
It’s a inconsistent language where it can be very smooth and romantic or very syncapated like in rap

I can only give you one example on the top of my head because I remember I was surprised when I first heard it.
It’s a song called “Calling” from The World ends with you final remix. I never actually played the game, what happened is I was watching someone play it, realised I was liking the song and was surprised by it. I still can’t quite tell you WHY this one as I tried to listen to the other songs and I had the same issue.
Maybe it’s the way the echo of the voice is rendered, I have no clue lol.
How do you feel about tracks that are generally simple? Like just a piano and a accompanying instrument?
Well as I said, I do enjoy classical because they tend to be simple in sound so I would be fine by it.
See it’s hard to explain: it’s not a matter of the amount of instruments that plays at the same time, I can still enjoy full orchestra; it’s how I can concentrate on listening to them. What I end up doing is just explaining that vocals are an issue and that I tend to prefer simple notes. I could give examples of ost I particularly love more because of this, but as far as your question is concerned, yes it’s usually fine.
Curious on your take on this song. I think I can understand where you are coming from.
