I'd love to visit the balkans one day  friends of mine told me many great stories from there. Are you also a history buff by any chance Firfox?

I am Wuffz, history, geography, geology, anything related to countries in a way such as flags, national anthems, football/soccer national teams, and even languages.  Before I went blind, I was able to read Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, and was learning how to read Armenian, and Georgian.  IN Japanese I was able to read and write Hiragana, Katakana, and about 100 Kanji.  I guess now learning them was kind of silly since I can't see them anymore.
Heehee, no surprise that my favorite YouTuber is Barby's channel of Geography Now.

Oo the Slavic culture will be interesting! I’m Baltic myself, but we basically share a bunch of the same stuff and give it different names heh

Also woah

was it VVS or VDS  kind of hard when the screen reader says it kind of fast.
It was amazing music for sure, I did hear it too.
I really love  Baltic culture. Have heard lots of music in Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, and Finnish, and one in Latgalian. I used to know by memory the Lithuanian song called 'Balnok Tarnai' by Ugniavijas, but slowly forgetting some of the lyrics, must sound funny from a Spanish speaker trying to sing in Lithuanian.
My favorite in Latvian is called 'Juras Dzeisma' I probably mispelled the name by a metal band called Skyforger.
My favorite in Estonian is called 'Eha' by the folk metal band Metsatoll.
My favorite in Finnish is 'Ukon Wacka' by the popular folk metal band Korpiklaani.

Baltic region was the place I really wanted to visit in my lifetime, and saving for it, before the vision started to go away from me.

Man, forums are just so cool. All kinds of people from all over the world join  I applaude your attempts at singing in a foreign language! The language itself adds so much to the identity and feel of the song. I once wrote a song inspired by spanish music and, before I had the lyrics, just sang a bunch of gibberish that "sounded spanish" to get the feeling right first and foremost (sadly can't speak the actual language).

The baltics must be a great place. There used to be a guy from Lithuania at my work place. He was always kind hearted and great to talk to.

I do listen to music in Spanish as well, not that boring 'Mariachis' or the Mexican Rancheras since that's what my uncle plays very loud. I always found them annoying.  I do listen to some rock music in Spanish. Rata Blanca, El Mago De Oz, Cuero Y Metal, Leo, and Hombres G to mention a few.
The closest to a Baltic I'll ever get to speak with is yourself there VVS or was it VDS. Screen reader almost sounds the same.
I know 'Finnish' isn't 'technically' Baltic according to many, to me they play in the Baltic Cup, and their language sounds very similar to Estonian.

I'm going to make a list of all the bands you've suggested Firox and listen to them at work  I can't keep up otherwise.

I must admit I do have a soft spot for Mariachis, but I can perfectly understand that having to hear them over and over again thanks to ones uncle might cause a distaste ^^;

Not to worry, it isn't a suggestion, just my own taste in music.  We all have something different.
With the Mariachis and Rancheras, not just my uncle, but almost every Mexican restaurant and parties always feature them. When my grandma was alive, its also what she only listened to.  so it likely never got my attention at all.

Oh man, yeah, too much repetition is the death of all musical enjoyment.

[Firox]

It can be, especially if not interested in the genre of music.

I hope no one has to ever sit through music they don't like on endless repeat.

So true, oh wait, I did that once to be honest.
Only as an April's Fools joke to my stepfather.  I intentionally played the  most annoying song I could think of over and over for at least an hour.
It was the song "Peek-A-Boo" by Suzie and the Banshees, then again it was only for an hour or two as a funny prank.  Wouldn't do that for more than an entire day.

  your poor stepfather. It really isn't Siouxsie's greatest works of art.

I once went down quite a rabbit hole reading into "musical torture" after being forced to listen to modern pop radio at work every day :'( pop radio here in Switzerland is absolutely terrible, they love playing the same songs (most likely from some top 100 Spotify list) over and over again. It felt so unhealthy, I started wondering what effects such torment have on the mind and found out that the Chinese and US Military already asked themselves that questions years before me.

That's true.  It's strange sounding song, kind of like it to be honest.
I had been deciding wether to use that one or use "The Final COuntdown" by Europe, or 'Hey Micky" by Toni Basil

The world could need more strange sounding songs.
Oh gosh, yeah the Radio loves blasting the final countdown until nausea. Songs I found the US using were ones like Barney the Dinosaur's "I love You" theme and the "Meow Mix Theme" (besides a lot of songs they thought Islamic people would find detestable)
