@ lost at the end hello, you're welcome to my blog, I hope you enjoy my posts. The Nina Simone song was composed by Michael Olatunji, and she's singing in Yoruba.
about vague meanings I loved Asa's "awe' without understanding a word of it. i tot the song was a prayer. My friends gave me a translation and i love it better still
Music transcends words and language. I shed tears sometime at some of Coltrane's phrasings and melodies. Mozart too... and they dont use words...
@jaja- I dey o, lotta sch work and head aches.. What's up wit u..did u see the msg I sent u...Music does transcend words..sometimes I listen to Angelique Kidjo and though her songs are in the Beninoise Yoruba-which I don't fully understand..I still love the ruggedness of her music. Btw, I never sat down to listen to Mozart, but I think I'll try...
