Some of my favorite music features vocals/lyrics that simply paint with words.

P.S. Don't know about you guys, sometimes I have written lyrics before the music, sometimes the other way around. For the later, I often sort of psuedo-sing while I'm developing a melody, half words, half gibberish, anything to just to work out the vocal part... sometimes my mind just stumbles over the coolest imagery when I'm not "trying."

I believe Sigur Ros is Icelandic interspersed with some of his made up language. Just saw them in Toronto a couple weeks ago. Absolutely amazing.
