The expressions of not just your character but you as a whole, including your choice of words and direction, are impeccable. A sense of Wisdom and softness behind it.
Whenever you hear music, you undeniably obtain the feeling the artist is seeking to convey through the song. However, you also then process that feeling into something unique, based on your own feelings and experiences. No 2 people experience the same song the same; they each have their own lens through which they experience that song. In my opinion, (part of) the essence of being a disc jockey is being able to take all these tracks, all these different, individual feelings, and using various means, tie them all together through *your* own lens, and express that unique feeling to the world around you.
I personally think that its possible to feel represented by music even if the lyrics aren't expressing something u have gotten through yourself, you can just like the beat, the singers voice, the samples they use or even the mixing, the important part its the way those elements you like make you feel. Lyrics aren't the most important thing, music its art, enjoy it whatever way u like :).
Beautiful thing to express, and I think the answer can still be yes, even if you haven't lived through those experiences. Just what I consider to be empathy. But trying to be authentic with what you're choosing is a righteous goal to chase, and honestly also the right thing to do imo. Thank you for sharing how you felt today -3-
Yes !! I think you can. Granted, what you may feel from the music may not be exactly what was intended if you are missing context, if you get a strong feeling from a song, that feeling is true to you whether or not it comes from accuracy. I think a clear way to see this is in music where the meaning is purposefully obscured, songs incoherent lyrics or double meanings, what ever your truest interpretation is to the music becomes the experience, even though that experience can be different for others, works like these can be widely loved and felt even though most don't understand the true intentions. A band like this I've been really loving recently is The Sleepwalk, they aren't a very well documented band and there is a language barrier which makes me unable to understand what most the songs are about, however they do make me profoundly feel something that I don't get from other music, emotions condensed into sounds which would remain no matter what the words even were. For me, that experience I get listening to their music is both some of the closest I have felt to "truly feeling" music and at the same time something I clearly don't understand.
To be perfectly honest, I just try things and see if they work out. I have found myself enjoying classical Chinese works, just because I downloaded a music mod for a game out of curiosity, for example.
i feel if i like tried to portray an experience i didn't understand i would just turn it into a caricature or shallow mimic of their actual experience lol the best way to try to portray someone's experience might be by first having an in-depth, honest discussion with them where every term is clearly defined, and then repeat back what you got from them so they can confirm if you understood it right, i think. basically a therapy session lol. i doubt it could ever be 100% accurate though
This is a little different, but still a similar topic. I listen to Japanese chamber pop and things like that, but I barely speak any Japanese at the moment. Sometimes I am able to find a rough translation, but it's clear that even then, there are meanings that are lost on me. Often, the meaning of a song is buried deep in sensory imagery, which I really like. But when filtered through a language barrier it's difficult. I think songs where you don't understand the lyrics actually have a unique appeal, where you can enjoy the sounds of the vocals, but project your own meaning on it. Sometimes I see comments in Japanese on these songs that translate to "It's a meaning that slowly grows on you" or "I don't fully understand it, but the parts that I do get mean a lot to me", and then I wish I could understand. At the same time, the fact that I will have to wait a long time to fully understand my favorite songs makes me a little sad. But I'm determined to get there.
I don't feel the lyrics. I feel the beat, the melody, and everything else. I often listen to songs that are in languages I don't speak (Mostly Japanese, some European and Indonesian) and I only look at the lyrics once I get curious. Sometimes, this even happens when I listen to songs that are in the languages I understand either when I can't properly hear the lyrics, or I just ignore the lyrics. I think a great example is "Hey Ya" by Outkast. The beat is happy, but the lyrics are quite sad.
You don't need to understand another languages music to feel and like it. I love to listen to Japanese music but I don't understand what's been said. It's okay, I feel and like the beat. That's all it matters.
Just play "Wolf" by Siames on a loop. Just kidding, as someone who makes entertainment, I think it's fine if you use something already made because you know out there in your audience is someone who will love it. I mean, it's best to try to understand it as much as possible. You don't want to mess up the message in a remix cutting at the wrong places, but even then, if it sounds awesome, they probably are just happy you are having fun with their jam and everyone is dancing to it. Honestly, I love a ton of Japanese music, even if I can only catch 50% of the lyrics on a good day because it sounds so adventurous and fun.
As long as people dance, it usually doesn't matter. But it's best to avoid R18 artists. Sure Cardi B's music are good, but what if someone understand, and feel uncomfortable? So any music is fine, as long as the music is not R18!

I love this boy so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥
You can feel the music in any form as long as it speaks to your soul!

想像力と同理心で補うしかないかな

i do that too, but then i feel bad about it because what i want to feel from the music could be completely different from what it's actually about
