Song Part 1 and 2 (Find What Song Tell You)

 

Hello back again with me on my blog, today we will learn about song part 1 and 2!1

A.     Understanding

Song is a composition of tone or voice in sequence, combination and temporal relation to produse a musical compositian that has unity and continuity. 

B.     Purpose

Songs are used to express feeling and idea in an entertaining world. Songs can be used to deliver social criticism. The moral values are hidden in the lyrics.

   Songs are a way to express emotions and feelings in a fun way. Songs can also be a medium to convey criticism about the situation in society. Moral value or mandate is usually implied in the lyrics made by songwriters.  

C.     Language Characteristics

Song  or songs also have linguistic characteristics, you know! Well, here are the linguistic characteristics of the song. 

·       Imagery . Imagery describes about feelings and emotions. A song usually tries to describe how the writer feels.  

·       Rhythm. Rhythm here is used to create a mood. For example, when we are sad and listen to a song with a slow rhythm, then we will be carried away by the atmosphere with the song. So, rhythm creates mood! 

·       Figures of speech

1. Metaphor, comparingtwothingsthat are not aliketosuggestthattheyactuallyhavesomething in common. At first glance, the two things being compared are unrelated, but actually there are similarities between the two things. eg “Timeis a thief” or “Herhaisrwassilk”  

2.                  Simile, comparestwothingsusing “like” or “as''. A thing is described with something similar by using the word 'like' or 'as' eg “My loveislike a redrose”.    

3.          Hyperbole, a dramatic language. Big exaggeration, usually with humor. A thing is described in excess, sometimes tickling because it is too much. eg “Thatmathhomeworktookme 8 millionyearstofinish”.   
  

         4.                  Personification, anobjectappearlike a person. Objects (non-humans) have human-like abilities.eg “The windwhisper” or “The snowflakesdanced in thewind”.  

D.     Structure

·         Intro, which is the beginning of the song, usually the singer's voice has not been heard (only the instrument) 

·         Verse , or temple is an introductory section to the chorus.

·         Refrain, transition from verse to chorus 

The          

      Chorus, the core part, is usually the easiest to remember. 

·         Bridge, connecting the chorus to the next chorus or to the coda. 

·         Coda,  cover song. 

   The structure is not rigid, so not all songs have such a structured structure. But every song in general must have a verse, chorus, and bridge. 

 

Example

Here's some song for you!

 

Hey, girl, I'm waiting on you, I'm waiting on you
Come on, and let me sneak you out
And have a celebration, a celebration
The music up, the window's down

Yeah, we'll be doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool and we know it too
Yeah, we'll keep doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool, so tonight

Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy 'til we see the sun
I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight, let's get some
And live while we're young
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
And live while we're young (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tonight, let's get some
And live while we're young

Hey, girl, it's now or never, it's now or never
Don't overthink, just let it go
And if we get together, yeah, get together
Don't let the pictures leave your phone, ooh
Yeah, we'll be doing what we do
Just pretending that we're cool, so tonight

Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy 'til we see the sun
I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight, let's get some
And live while we're young
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Wanna live while we're young (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Tonight, let's get some
And live while we're young
And, girl, you and I
We're 'bout to make some memories tonight
I wanna live while we're young
We want to live while we're young

Let's go crazy, crazy, crazy 'til we see the sun
I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight, let's get some
And live while we're young

Crazy, crazy, crazy 'til we see the sun
I know we only met, but let's pretend it's love
And never, never, never stop for anyone
Tonight, let's get some
And live while we're young

Come on, young (Wanna live, wanna live, wanna live)
Wanna live while we're young
(Wanna live, wanna live, wanna live while we're young)
Tonight, let's get some
And live while we're young

 

When life were we young the song means that when we are young, we must enjoy youth because it doesn't come twice.
