hi guys. ok so lately I've been hearing a lot of K-pop and J-pop songs on the radio and tv (not a very good past time it rarely sounds good) so i thought. what about other countries or places and stuff? so just post a song from whichever country you're from preferably a not well known song on the internet. The language doesn't have to be understandable majority of k-pop and j-pop isn't. This song is from the Philippines.
They' re all quite popular ... here, I' d be amazed to hear you already heard' em all. French : Spoiler Belgian : Spoiler
I only understand the French parts, she keeps saying "You' ll come back to me, your heart is mine, if Allah wants it", but then she basically says there' s a better match for him than her out there and she wishes him to find her ... make up your mind ?
I love listening to songs in different languages. From my own country? What I've been liking lately from francophone Canada is "Comme des rames" by Klô Pelgag And "Chamoiré" by Orange Orange
They are a prog. rock band from italy. By the way, the whole "italian progressive rock" movement is awesome.
Obscure music from the country we're from right? Here's one I really like, not a lot of people know about it.
And I thought this was finnaly dead... Our night clubs stopped playing that (Thank God) for some time now. I've always liked this one :D
Favorite foreign music is German, and from there is Oomph! since they have a good variety and meanings I like to most of their songs. Grabbed two examples.
I fear they're a bit popular, but they're anyway one my favorite group with a fantastic original sound: Sigur Ros. They're from Iceland!
I was kinda sad that when i entered here I saw "Ai se eu te pego" (Our Brazilian garbage, that conquered the world o_O!) Going to put some GREAT Portuguese song here (some that became elevator songs LoL) (A Rockish/pop love song- A flor) (Bossa Nova- Boa sorte(Good Luck) ) (Brazilian Bossa Nova- Cotidiano + Você não entende nada) ( Brazilian Rock- Titãs querem meu sangue) (Brasilian rock+MPB - Resposta) Everybody knows Garota de Ipanema As for foreign: Volare
Conquered the world? To be honest, I'm surprised you said that, as I've never even heard of it until two days ago. Personally, I don't think it's terrible, but not great either. But I can understand why you might hate it, considering if it was hugely popular (which again, surprises me), it would definitely be heard everywhere in a Portuguese speaking country like Brazil (kinda like what happened with Gangnam Style all around the world). Anyway, back on topic... Japanese song from Wreck-It Ralph sung by AKB48 called "Sugar Rush": My favorite song from a movie in 2012!
There's also this: XD And I've also had it with Ai Se Eu Te Pego, thank God it stopped playing on radios xD
The problem is not just playing everywhere lik Gangnam Style, Gangnam Style at least got some good lyrics (even if it wasn't by them that it was made famous, but for the comedy in the video). "Ai se eu te pego" has this basic lyric "Oh my! Oh my! You're killing me by doing this babe, Oh If I catch you (catch in portuguese have a sexual conotation) Oh if I catch you" (This goes for the hole song). So it is almost a empty lyric.. when your language has 12 kinds of times tenses (Its not just, Present, Past, Future, we got "Past perfect", "Past more than perfect", "Past imperfect" , "Simple present", "Future of the past", "Future of the present", and 3 kinds of verbs), and at least 10 different words for "girl" , you can see how poorly he uses portuguese. Great band! But actually they are from Portugal, not Brazil, even though both of us speak the same language their accent is closest to "spainish" than to "Brazilian Portuguese" , Though the language is theirs so we are the ones that diverge. It reminds me of a great Cartoon Network show: Great music also ;~~
