    I listened to some Vietnamese rock songs on YouTube. The language hurts my ears when spoken because it’s so tonal and twangy (no hate, my ears are just not used to it) but it sounds cool when sung. I haven’t found anything yet that really knocked my socks off but I’ve been enjoying it.

    • Try Cantonese Popular Music in the 70s/80s/90s (I heard a few random modern ones and the modern ones suck ass lyric wise lol)

      Look up Wong Ka Kui, Andy Lau.

      海闊天空:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu_FSptjRic (Sounds amazing to me as a native Cantonese speaker)

      Tonal language is very unique, I like them (yes maybe I’m biased since I speak one of these tonal languages)

      I think Vietnamese sounds kinda like an alt-universe version of Cantonese, the tones are so similar, but most words don’t make sense to me. Cantonese people and Vietnamese people kinda descended from a common ancestor in… not that long ago in the past (relative to the entire human history). Vietnamese sounds so cool tho, I mean I think the nasal sounds are a bit too “extra” compared to Cantonese, but it sounds cool.

      🤝 me with German and French

      Yet to get used to either languages, but they sound great to me when sung.
