These two have been on repeat on my playlist.

"Avatar", the 37-year old song by Dead Can Dance, the 8th song from their second album "Spleen and Ideal".

This song is sung in glossolalia.

The song is sort of broken up into 3 parts.

1. The first 1:30

2. The second 1:30 from 1:30-3:00

3. The third from 3:00 to the end. This is the best part because the Oscar-winning singer Lisa Gerrard starts with this very long complex slur note and then just wails as if she was trying to communicate to God.

This is the original version.

This is the remastered version.

My wife knows that this is my favorite song.

I told her to play it after I die to let God know I am coming.

Love it

And it's in no language...

3 songs earlier is "Mesmerism", the last song from Dead Can Dance that Lisa Gerrard ever sang in English.

My favourite non-English song would be Plastic Love by Maria Takeuchi. It’s a Japanese song from the 80s which describes love as plastic, which is eerily similar to how love is interpreted today in this hookup culture world.
