This is awesome! I love the chill and positive vibe. Sounds a bit like Dutch, which makes sense I guess. Do you speak afrikaans?

Gimme more dude!

Here’s an old Croatian hip hop song which yours reminded me of.

I find some Dutch songs relaxing such as Marco Borsato with Dochters and Rood.

Also Georgina Verbaan, Yo Quiero Bailar while not Dutch really reminds me of living there.

Believe me, some of these songs lose a lot in translation.

I found that out early when watching the Eurovision Song Contest on the BBC with subtitles, they’d translate it into English and while a particular song sounded good, the translation was, ‘rabbits have small noses, rabbits have small paws, etc...’.

No, that’s exactly what they meant to say. Nothing lost there

Okay, bad choice of words, maybe lose some of their nature in that it sounds one way in their language but when translated doesn’t carry the same emotion to the listener as it did before hand.

Ye’, there are all sorts of music that make me want to do that.

I like the lyrics and the meaning of those two songs, most others just make me press the fast forward or skip button.

I like classical (Rackmaninov’s Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini, Bachs Cello Suite 1, Clare de Lune by Debussy, Elgars Nimrod always makes me cry a little, etc...) but some make me race to the fast forward button.

Edward Elgar’s Nimrod, the music, and the story behind it.

Elgar come with depression wrote several pieces and dedicated each to a friend who had helped him through. The outcome of something so destructive came something so beautiful.

It’s played at every Remembrance Sunday in the U.K. it’s so full of sorrow and emotion.

It’s named Nimrod after his friend Jaeger, which refers to an old testament patriach, described as ‘a mighty hunter before the lord’, jager being German for hunter.

This version is the most powerful for me. It was played by the Greek National Orchestra back in 2013 when the Athenian ensemble were dissolved after government cutbacks, it was the second last piece, before the national anthem, they ever played.
