Is it correct to say the following sentences when I like a song or video very much

1. I can't imagine listening a song better than this
2. I can only imagine a song like that

I just want to know if the above 2 sentences are grammatically correct and the above two sentences mean "I like the songs very much"

I apologize if my question is not that clear

1 is clear, though it should be "listening to a song".

2 is odd; it means to me that this song is not real, or that you have never actually listened to it. You would say this when, for example, someone describes a song he likes very much, and you are captured by his vivid description, so that you long to hear this song, too - a very uncommon situation, as you will agree.
