What are some Latin songs you have heard (the dead language)?

Songs like “Lilium” from Elfenlied or “Tempus Vernum” from Enya.

When I say Latin I meant the root language, NOT “Latino” as in Spanish! I asked this before but everyone kept naming latino songs -_-

What would a Latin (the dead language) accent sound like speaking English?

I am writing a story that involves Latin not being a dead language, could someone give me an idea on what it would sound like? It would be easy if you could relate to other accents, I think it might sound like British, Italian, or Spanish? But I’m not sure, thus reasoning for posting it on here. Hopefully looking forward for an informative answer :)

If Latin is a dead language, then how do people know how to speak it?

No one speaks it as a native language, so how can they be sure what a word means?

How did Latin become a dead language?

Why did people stop speaking Latin? I’m sure they didn’t all wake up one day and start speaking Italian instead. Did it have to do with the fall of the Roman Empire? How did Latin evolve into Italian?
