Medina, a Danish Dance and R&B singer, hasn't been someone I knew much about, beside the one song she had that was remixed by Deadmau5 "You And I" which btw is a great song. If you want check it out on Youtube right here: http://youtu.be/C1p8HlgoRHE
I had heard that song about a year ago and just happened to come across another song of hers entitled "Ensom" which is Danish for "Lonely". Prior to hearing it I never heard a lick of Danish in my life but loved it. It's a beautiful soft sounding language. I've always been a fan of listening to foreign music. All sorts. I listen to some Arabic, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Lithuanian, etc. Even though I don't speak any of those languages and can't understand a word of the song, listening to music in other languages has always been a pleasure to me. I feel like I can interpret the song how ever I choose without really knowing what the song is about.
In a book called The Voice Of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz he briefly explains his love for The Beetles when he was younger, even though he only spoke Spanish and could not understand any English. He goes on to explain why listening to music without lyrics or ones in a language that you don't understand is better for your peace of mind. It lacks the 'voice of knowledge' he speaks about in the book and how if the words have no meaning you can understand they're open to you're own creative interpretation. I loved that bit in the book because its so true for me personally. The Voice Of Knowledge is a really great and short book if you're looking for a good read but don't like to read long books. I suggest picking it up a local library or buying it used off Amazon.com like I did. I got it for only $3.
I'm not really a big fan of the music video to the song "Ensom" though. Its little to dark to me for such an up tempo song. I did look up the lyrics to the song and wasn't impressed either. I imagined a totally different concept. But that's what happens when its open to your own personal interpretation. Anyways, check out the song & video. Its currently on repeat for me: http://youtu.be/olL3RMSOCyM
