The languages of music, the language of the heart, Saturday music.
Everyday tasks are more enjoyable with background music, and for every occasion there are different melodies: novel, cheerful, melancholic, and some that surprise us when we hear them for the first time and resonate with us.
I usually have music playing around me all day long. I tend to choose instrumental and calm music because if there are lyrics or someone is singing, I lose my concentration, especially if I have to pay attention to an activity such as writing. I prefer songs with only music. Lately, what I have playing in the background are those videos where you can hear nature sounds, water, especially waterfalls, birdsong and things like that. They have the effect of helping me concentrate more, which is what I need.
But on other occasions, especially when I'm doing housework or cooking, I tend to listen to a wide variety of musical genres, some familiar, others not so much, and some new. Often, the platform itself suggests great things to me.
I also like listening to songs in different languages, even if I don't understand them. If I really like the song, I usually look up the translation. I want to know what the lyrics mean, but it wouldn't be the same if it were sung in Spanish.
The first example I'm bringing you of music I'm listening to this Saturday is by Celine Dion, and it's one of the few songs she's done in French. It sounds very sweet, melancholic, romantic and beautiful.
I love all her songs; she's one of my favourite artists, but this song is special. Her tone of voice makes the French language very special.
I love the Italian language. My grandmother was the daughter of pure Italians, and I often heard her speak words in that language. Even my mother has studied a little Italian. She's very good at learning languages, just like I'm good at the arts.
Eros Ramazzotti sings very well in both Italian and Spanish, but I often like to listen to him in his mother tongue. He is charming, and this song in particular, where he pieces together a puzzle of a special woman to discover who she is, is mysterious and interesting to me. It is a great song.
Finally, right now I'm listening to this song by Sting, which, like the other two at the time, I looked up the lyrics to because it resonated with me and I wanted to know what it meant. It talks about the face of the heart that has no masks.
Music touches the heart, and I believe that the heart decides whether it is in tune with the person. Often, you may not know how to play music or understand the lyrics of a song, but it is simply in tune with you. This song is in tune with me.
This is an initiative for this community to make a selection of songs for Saturday. Here is mine, and if you like the song, you can do the same using the hashtag #saturdayselections. If you have a song that resonates with you today, I would love to hear about it in the comments.
Thank you very much for joining me today. I wish you all a wonderful weekend. See you soon.

How are you, Amonet? Good morning.
Whenever I can, I also listen to music, and like you, I love relaxing music with the sounds of water or birds.
Since I love singing, I'm always looking for something to sing.
Have a beautiful evening in the company of good music.
I hope to see another one of your songs soon, I love them!
Good morning, dear friend @avdesing

Good afternoon @avdesing, it's no secret that we don't share the same musical tastes. But music is something that accompanies us every day, and I appreciate you sharing this selection of songs.
Big hug, happy Saturday. 🤗
There are certain songs that I grew up with and then acquired musical tastes that I still have today, although I have added new ones, but there are others that I haven't, ha ha ha.
Thank you very much and have a great Saturday afternoon!
I just got back from soccer ⚽ and the afternoon is going great. A friend has come from Valencia and now we're going out for a drink.
See you tomorrow... Big hug!!! 🤗

Hello Amonet, interesting selection to accompany this Saturday. Sting is a classic, his songs are wonderful. Eros Ramazzotti was the favorite singer of my adolescence (lo amaba 🥰😉😄), there are still songs by him that fascinate me and I always listen to him with longing for other times. Thanks for sharing your preferences. Lindo finde 🤗.
We must be around the same age!!! Because we have similar tastes, I love that!! Enjoy the songs and have a wonderful Saturday!🤗
I'm 47...I think that in our teenage years there was very good music...fuimos dichosas 🤭🤗.
I'm 47 too!!!! Totally awesome, yes!! There was excellent music... don't say anything, but it was the best!🤣
Happy 47th to us!!!😜
Sin dudas!!!😆
We're the best, yes!!! Good evening, it's time for dinner!! See you tomorrow!
The songs you chose are beautiful, and I'm listening to them now while spending some time here on Hive. A hug, and rest well.
I listen to a bit of everything, even if I don't understand it and it's in other languages. Thank you! 💗💗
Very good choice of music, in fact Celine and Eros I like them a lot, I usually perform the homework with music. And to sleep soft instrumental music. Thanks @avdesing you have a nice weekend. 🥰
We have the same taste, great! Thank you very much!💗💗
Hi @advesing. Your article really fascinates me as I am also a music lover. I love listening to music whatever I do, it uplifts my mood and makes me even more energetic to finish household chores. An like you, when the task needs more of focus and concentration I also listen to music without lyrics, something that makes me relaxed and stimulates my brain. Music is life, indeed. This time, I am into worship songs whether from local or international artists. These songs keep me calm and inspired.
Thanks for this beautiful write up. I enjoyed reading and very relatable.
Thank you for reading and leaving your comments about the music you listen to and sharing your opinions. Thank you very much!💗💗
