I don't know why I tend to like music in French. Perhaps I enjoy it more because I do not understand what is being said? I can hear the sounds and tonality but stay embodied in music, not thoughts, no meaning- or sense-making. The sounds of French feel textural, grainy, rolling, to me, and I feel simultaneously nonchalant, bittersweet, in love. Are there languages that just feel like the right sounds for you?
