Can't disagree with the 'not hearing the words...'
Opera - I understand a little Italian and even less German - but it can hit the spot.
Hmmm - passion and harmonies for me I think
and if you're going to go all tech musical then I'll add 'silences' and pure vibration to the ears, head, mind and body which I guess is plain what music is
Oh! and dynamics and tempo
(Tiddle, have taught this stuff but seem to have forgotten it - oh and pitch
you know what I mean I'm sure
)
And I have finally
come to a conclusion... 'resonation'.
