Inspired by [livejournal.com profile] lila_vulpes's recent post...

If any of you have favourite songs in languages other than English, I'd like to hear them.
I can probably find most songs on my own if provided with just the name of the song and artist, but if you have links for download or to YouTube, those would be welcome as well.

Hell, if you want to recommend a song (or an artist) that is in English, go ahead. Ditto for Finnish songs.


Also, vaguely related: If anyone could send me Kriitikko (Mustavalkoinen tuomio) by Klamydia, I'd love that person forever. I know it's a long shot to be pleading it from my flist, but you never know.

Tais Toi Mon Coeur (http://www.sendspace.com/file/810bwh) by Dionysos: This is one of my favorite songs right now. The direct translation makes about as little sense as physically possible, but basically it's about a man trying to become something he isn't so the woman he loves with approve of him, but she can't love him at all after he does because he's nothing like she remembers him. The refrain goes "Shut up, my heart" (from the man) - "I don't recognize you" (from the woman). It's kind of heartbreaking, especially if you watch the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqITfERuFc0) with it, which you definitely should.

Hall Om Mig (http://www.sendspace.com/file/pdcpjh) by Nanne: I...actually have no idea what this one is about, but it's hardcore! Got a lot of oomph to it.

Baby Don't Cry (http://www.sendspace.com/file/ar091a) by Namie Amuro: No idea what this is about, either, but it's very sweet, sort of like an upbeat lullaby. A bit of it is in English, if that's okay.

Fuminshou no Nemurihime (http://www.sendspace.com/file/ar091a) by Miyavi: Full of guitar and awesome. S'all I got.

Joy Trip (http://www.sendspace.com/file/0gsnyo) by Bennie K: This remains to date the only song I have ever heard that is both containing banjos and genuinely good.

Aaaand that's all I got. Although if ever it happens that you get addicted to Bennie K, I have lots. :D Happy Drive and Disco Sempai are good, too.

Whee, thanks a lot! These are great! Though the Fuminshou no Nemurihime link is to Baby Don't Cry.
No worries, though; I found Fuminshou no Nemurihime on Limewire.

I've actually heard Håll om mig before, and, since it's in Swedish, can even understand it with some effort. XD Basically it's a kind of passionate love song and it can be summed up in "Hold me and never let go" and "My heart's beating SO fast right now".

I fail at sendspace. XD It kept doing bizarre things while I uploading; sorry about that.

Oh, cool! And now I know. :D I've got another Nanne song called Evig Kärlek, which is also pretty cool. Have you heard that one?
