Youtube - Go Do (official video)
I dare you to listen to this song and not feel happy. It's been on repeat for me the past few days, and I can't help but feel uplifted and completely empowered. Granted, I can barely understand what he is saying with his thick accent. I can make out a word or phrase here and there, but the amazing thing is that you don't need to understand what he's saying to understand the feeling he's conveying. It's a similar effect that was utilized by Jónsi's band, Sigur Rós, in their untitled album symoblized(). Instead of writing lyrics in any language (which the band has dubbed "Hopelandic"), they use the vocals as another instrument. There are no words, no grammar, no form, only functions of sound. It makes it completely universal; no one can be excluded.
Kind of a cool notion, yes?
