Continuing in the context of loving songs, and yet without any understanding of the lyrics, I would be remiss to not include Lisa Gerrard. It would appear that she makes up words/sounds to fit the mood of the song or, to quote Wikipedia – “She sings in a euphonic and emotional pseudo-language”! She is probably better known for her melodic contribution to the movie “Gladiator”. Enjoy!

A New Direction Perhaps? 
You had me this time! Dead Can Dance are an unknown to me, even though I saw “The Gladiator”. I shall have to explore more of Lisa Gerrard’s music. She does have an amazing quality in her voice. Thank-you Colin, always willing to expand my listening enjoyment!

Another lovely voice that you introduced me too. I had to smile when I read about her “making up her own words…..psuedo language”. 🙂

Whatever it takes to convey an emotion to another person, and is really no different from a solo musical instrument. She simply uses her voice as a musical instrument. 🙂

And it works quite well! 🙂
I have a “psuedo language” at times too, but hers is much more melodic!
