[Exclusive] Robin Janssens Believes Music Can Be Enjoyed Even Without Understanding The Language

[Support Those That Support You]

When Robin Janssens, with his evolved sense of music and philosophical bent of mind, says
that he genuinely believes music to be a universal language, you know there's more to it.

Indeed, says Robin Janssens, music speaks to all of us. We may know the lyrics, or we may
not even know the language. We may recognize the song's tune or might be listening to
the genre for the first time. We may have it on our playlist or might be simply latching
on to what's flowing out of a neighbor's open window. 

No matter what the music is or where it might have come from, we understand and speak
its language when we smile, tilt our head, strain our ear, dance a
step or two, or even cry to it.

If you still have your doubts, challenges Janssens, check out your playlist right now, and you
are sure to find at least a couple of songs in there that you do not understand the lyrics. Not
one word! Yet, the pieces are in there and will remain so. And you know they're in there
because you've taken a liking to them. 

Halfway around the world, there's a soul similar to you with a couple of songs from your
playlist. And that person doesn't understand your spoken language either.

It doesn't matter what human language it is in. Listening to a song tells you immediately
whether it's a fun song or a sad one. It tells you whether it is shallow and fleeting or
deep and thoughtful. The tune of the song even tells you how to feel about it.

Music tells you about the people who call the song their own, and it gives you a peek into
their souls. And it isn't long before you are one with the music these people have lent you,
and soon enough, you are one of their own. 

For centuries, music has caught our hand and helped us dance to the tunes of life. Or, when
taking a breather was imminent, music has held us back in bed to curl up and cry. 

Robin Janssens speaks of how humankind has always spoken this universal language of
music. Music has always been one of the most magical and influential factors that unite
people from different races, thought processes, and even religious beliefs. 

Music moves from one soul to another as freely as the morning breeze moves beyond
borders — without fear, without prejudice, and without holding back. 

The spoken language may divide us, says Robin Janssens, but music is the one universal
language that will always bind our souls together. And for this, humankind should always
remain thankful.
