What are you listening to?

Pourquoi je vis, pourquoi je meurs?
Pourquoi je ris, pourquoi je pleure?
Voici le S.O.S
D'un terrien en détresse

J'ai jamais eu les pieds sur terre
J'aimerais mieux être un oiseau
J'suis mal dans ma peau
J'voudrais voir le monde à l'envers
Si jamais, c'était beau
Plus beau, vu d'en haut
D'en haut

J'ai toujours confondu la vie
Avec les bandes dessinées
J'ai comme des envies de métamorphoses
Je sens quelque chose
Qui m'attire, qui m'attire, qui m'attire
Vers le haut

Au grand loto de l'univers
J'ai pas tiré l'bon numéro
J'suis mal dans ma peau, oh
J'ai pas envie d'être un robot
Métro-boulot-dodo, oh

Pourquoi je vis, pourquoi je meurs?
Pourquoi je crie, pourquoi je pleure?
Je crois capter des ondes
Venues d'un autre monde

J'ai jamais eu les pieds sur terre
J'aimerais mieux être un oiseau
J'suis mal dans ma peau
J'voudrais mieux voir le monde à l'envers
J'aimerais mieux être un oiseau
Dodo l'enfant, do

Why do I live, why do I die?
Why do I laugh, why do I cry?
This is the S.O.S.
From an earthling in distress

I've never had my feet on the ground
I'd rather be a bird
I feel bad about myself
I'd like to see the world upside down
If ever it was beautiful
More beautiful from above
From above

I've always confused life
With comic books
I've got a hankering for metamorphosis
I feel something
Drawing me, drawing me, drawing me
Upwards

In the great lottery of the universe
I drew the wrong number
I feel bad about myself, oh
I don't want to be a robot
I don't want to be a robot, oh

Why do I live, why do I die?
Why do I scream, why do I cry?
I think I'm picking up waves
From another world

I've never had my feet on the ground
I'd rather be a bird
I feel bad about myself
I'd rather see the world upside down
I'd rather be a bird
Sleep the child, do
 
thee sacred souls is in the same genre as the james hunter group:

Otherwise there is always Erutan, not sure if she recovered her complete voice yet, but here's a couple:

Here's a Korean one that seems a classic:
Here's some from a Korean "Voice of God" competition, of course I don't speak or understand the language, but a 'voice' is a voice, though the winner didn't have one... someone's kid probably. I really like the first, a variation on a 'classic', but that is the point of the competition for all contestants: YT isn't allowing it, so here's the link: 21세 여대생, 앳된 얼굴 반전 목소리의 ‘소녀’ @보컬 전쟁:신의 목소리 20160210 - YouTube
Here's another Korean show from a few years back that tries to fake out the guest star judges on 'real or fake' in terms of whether they can sing:
 
We have been talking about gothic cathedrals and Gregorian chants in our reading workshop, and all weekend I’ve been thinking about the song Sadness Part 1, by Enigma released in the 90s- the first time I’d heard Gregorian chants in pop music.


The Gregorian chant is sampled from the 1976 album of the German choir Capella Antiqua München & is called "Procedamus in pace!"
 

The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines

Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay

The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart

Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do

Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way

All your life you've been waiting for your chance
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can

You think a little more money can buy your soul some rest
You'd better think of something else instead
You're so afraid of being honest with yourself
You'd better take a look inside your head

Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart

Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
Make it worth the price we pay

Every moment of your lifetime
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
Make it worth the price we pay
