I like English because it’s the perfect language for singing. It has a certain neutrality but with just the right amount of germanic crispness. Somehow the basic sound of English just seems well suited to music. I wonder if this is my bias and conditioning talking or if there’s any objective analysis out there that has concluded the same thing.

It’s the perfect language for writing, too - Shakespeare certainly used it well.

I agree. English also fits nicely around chords/chord changes and notes.
