Yes, but now I can't stop listening to the song because I've fallen in love with it.


Ayala Ingedashet - Basar Vadam (Flesh and Blood)

Pretty girl, pretty language, pretty song, pretty message.

[Nortaneous]

Atalyja - Šiaurum vėjum

Lithuania is surprisingly good at music.

Impaled nazarene: nyrkillä tapettava huora

... I almost thought that entire message was in Kozea first.

I've been listening almost exclusively to Seqinitta qinngorpaatit by Greenlandic Nanook for two days now. I love this band, and I hadn't heard this song before. So incredibly beautiful.

[dhok]

Secretly, I have a soft spot for the Swedish bubble pop song Caramelldansen.

[Skomakar'n]

We all do. That's not even the only song I like by Caramell.

[Pinetree]

As of this moment, I am listening to Liki Bessmertnykh Bogov by Arkona, one of my all-time favorite metal bands.

e. Damn, now I've gone on a pagan/folk metal listening rampage

[Vuvuzela]

Last non-English song I listened to was this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8nKs0yahic
Last one that wasn't an anime theme song was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kncb3G41UQM
For some reason, I'm really into anime themes and shitty Lebanese pop music. I should probably seek professional help.

Have you tried the map of metal?

Never heard of it.

*goes to look it up*

...50% loaded: Wow, this is a big flash file

... It loads: I see why it's so big now

This is cool. Thanks!

No problem man B)

[Skomakar'n]

Start with Sigur Rós.

How the heck did I miss that...
Thx, Astraios, you've a +1 in my book.

Jónsi himself (singer of Sigur Rós) has solo albums too. You could look at those.

Á móti sól! Lots of nice tracks by them on Spotify. Not that many on YouTube, but you could listen to Keyrðu mig heim to see if you like their style (although they're a little varied, so not everything sounds exactly like that [or revolves around alcohol, haha]).

If you're in for something a bit more cheesy, there's stuff like Í svörtum fötum, or Sálin hans Jóns míns.

I liked Iceland's song for Eurovision last year; Aftur heim, either by Sjonni Brink or Sjonni's Friends or whatever the name became in the end.

If you like reggae, there's Hjálmar.

For some slight screaming mixed with some mellowness, there's Sólstafir. For folk metal, you've got Skálmöld.

I might as well ask for some tips too. Pop music in Arabic, that sounds good?
Preferably sung in something as close to Modern Standard Arabic as possible.

The two main centres of the Arabic music industry are Egypt and Lebanon. While Lebanese Arabic, being of the Levant, is closer to al-fosha than Cairene, it is still not MSA. That said, If you're learning Arabic, getting into Carole Samaha's stuff can't hurt. She has a fairly clear voice, and you can easily understand the words. If you want to explore Arabic pop for yourself, go to http://www.youtube.com/user/MelodyMusicGroup.
Hope this helped.

It's not really pop, but Ema Shah. She has a few songs in pretty good MSA (including cases!):

In One House
Life Is

She also has a song in Berber and she sang in Hebrew once, which caused a big controversy, and so I love her.

[Skomakar'n]

Thank you both. This didn't sound too bad. What variety is it?

Why? Does it mean something in Kozea:D?

Nope, but the aesthetic was similar. At least the first word almost looks like īmpāx, which, fittingly enough, means just looks like.

[Astraios]

Egyptian, probably. EDIT: Make that 'definitely'.
