language issues

i'm listening to delispice right now.  a korean modern rock band.  if you watch korean film versions hollywood has been so adamant on remaking lately then they would probably sound familiar to you.  theydon't have any song in english and i don't understand a grain of korean, but i listen to them.  i have an addiction on utada hikaru music.  i even have her singles album.  and i own the soundtrack of rurouni kenshin. and the only thing english in it is a line that goes "it's gonna rain.."  but i listen to them.  i like them, actually.  sometimes it's not what the lyrics that makes sense to you.  it's those sounds that doesn't have words in them.  that's what's beautiful about music.  it doesn't need a language to be understood.  so even if i don't understand rat's ass about what the whole song is saying, i understand that there's an emotion that goes with it.  and if it affects you so much even if you don't understand it, then you don't need much to like it.
