Maybe we can use the translator, see if we can pick out some lyrics. Make up some names, if we can't figure any out.

I can't say for sure, my exposure to people from other planets or dimensions is limited if you consider the sheer scope of the universe. However, in my experience it seems like there's a little bit of something for everybody. I haven't met anyone who outright disliked all music from Earth.

The Krakau might be thinking about music in the sense that it's less about the lyrics and more about the feelings surrounding music? Some songs you can listen to, have no idea what they're actually saying, but pick up on the theme regardless. Violins can be sad, thumping bass can be exciting, screaming guitar can be angry. None of that is really ever taught to anybody, it's just instinctive understanding. It's automatic. You can tell an entire story without saying a word. I've even heard about people born without the ability to hear that still enjoy some music because they can feel the rhythm of beats.
