We listen to foreign music a lot and still find pleasure in the voices. Although I'm mostly speaking from my experience with English before I had learned it, which is yet rather close to German, so YMMV

No idea what the No True Scotsman fallacy has to do with this; it involves dismissing an example, but no example was offered. You're welcome to offer one, if you'd like.

We listen to foreign music and find pleasure in the voices because a voice itself is expressive, independent of language: a cry, a laugh, an imprecation. The same is true of light, shape, etc., but artists who work with these qualities independent of their reference to objects tend to choose media other than photography, for obvious reasons.

I was just pattern matching.
