"Language" is a single by New Zealand singer-songwriter Dave Dobbyn, released in 1994 as the first single from the Twist album. The song reached number 4 on the New Zealand charts.[1]

Background

Dobbyn began writing the song while in Sydney.[2] He had originally played "Language" as an acoustic song, however, Twist producer Neil Finn suggested speeding it up and giving it more of a rock sound.[3]

Legacy

"Language" was voted the 35th best New Zealand song of the 20th century by APRA, and featured on the related Nature's Best 2 CD. It was also included on the live album Together in Concert: Live, which was performed with Bic Runga and Tim Finn.
