Hey there Mate
I think that is true.
But also i think from the melody of the song/Music would make you know a music from different place aswell.
Example, i love indian music though i might not know what they are saying...id still try my best to memorise some of the words to the song....
Voice of of the person who sings can also make you interest in music also.
Great discussion here as i JUST LOVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MUSIC,,,,,,Dancing, Singing, Playing quitar and singing and even Listerning to music and songs.
Regards
Joel Albert

Some other time I over heard Puff Daddy'z music on the radio, I guess this also a medium bywhich people around the world get connected.

here is music with no language (or a universal language?)
check it out ...
Each Adiemus album is a collection of song-length pieces featuring harmonised vocal melody against an orchestral background. There are no lyrics as such, instead the vocalists sing syllables and 'words' invented by Jenkins. However, rather than creating musical interest from patterns of phonemes as in scat singing, the language of Adiemus is carefully stylised so as not to distract the listener's attention from the pitch and timbre of the voice—for example, as in African languages, syllables ending in consonants are rare. The core concept of Adiemus is that the voice should be allowed to function as nothing more than an instrument, a post-modern approach that has become something of a trend in recent choral writing, for example Vangelis's score for the film 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992). The word Adiemus itself sounds like (but is spelt differently from) a Latin word meaning 'We will draw near'; Jenkins claims to have been unaware of this.
.............
What does Adiemus sound like?
As with many musical artists, of course, the answer to that question depends on who you ask—though they have been frequently compared to artists such as Enya, Enigma, Dead Can Dance, and Deep Forest. Because of the unique qualities of their sound, however, no direct comparison can ever be completely sufficient.
The prominent sounds in the music of Adiemus are the diverse melodical chants and vocal stylings of Miriam Stockley, the harmonies of Mary Carewe and "the Adiemus singers", and the powerful backing of the London Philharmonic. Karl Jenkins himself describes the music as "an extended choral-type work based on the European classical tradition, but where the vocal sound is more akin to 'ethnic' or 'world' music"; in his words, "The sound is universal, as is the language of music [...] this music is somewhere to escape to."
