It's easier to get into the heart of a song when you don't understand the lyrics, but that doesn't stop us from enjoying it. On the contrary, it's often because we don't understand the lyrics that we subconsciously listen, subconsciously appreciate, and savor. And that's one of the reasons why we love songs when we don't understand the language.
Taking Cantonese songs as an example, I think the reasons are as follows:1. Good songs are not constrained by the lyrics
It is said that music has no borders, and whether or not you understand the lyrics doesn't affect your appreciation of the song. That's why there was once a news story about a 10-month-old baby who was moved to tears by his mom's singing; he didn't understand the lyrics, but he understood the mood of the song and was infected by it.
The style of the song, the interpretation of the singer, even if we do not understand the lyrics, but we can hear the singer's singing, hear the rhyme of the song, we can hear the song to express the feelings of the emotions to convey. And these are not as closely related to the lyrics as we think. In other words, lyrics that you don't understand are not going to affect your enjoyment of the song.
2. Cantonese songs are just great
? We all know that Mandarin has only 4 tones, but did you know that Cantonese actually has as many as 9 tones? This means that Cantonese has more tonal variations, and the songs sound more rhythmic, and at the same time more touching. That's why we like to listen to Cantonese songs, because they are more likely to delight our hearts and make us feel ****, and more likely to make us feel moved by them.
3. More style
If you are a young person, I believe that you will not like those songs of square dance, such as "Horse Pole", "Love Trade", "The Most Dazzling National Wind". You may also listen to, but certainly can not talk about is to appreciate. Why? Because these songs are too grounded, the next second to hear you are likely to feel annoyed, because the streets are full of, you want to turn around and walk away, quickly escape, really because we have had enough.
