2 The Social
Functions Of Songs.
• To express feelings and ideas.
• To criticise social, environmental, and political
issues.
• To entertain or amuse listeners.
• To teach moral values through the lyrics of the
songs.
• To express personal feeling and cultural values.
• To give someone not only to share their emotions
with others, but also have an emotional connection
that just can’t be experienced in any other way.
 Structure
Of Songs
• Intro. Like the beginning of a film or novel, a song
introduction should catch the listener’s attention. However, it
should do this without overwhelming them. For this reason,
song intros are typically slower and more low-key. The goal is
to establish the rhythm, tempo, and melody of the song, and
introduce the singer or singers’ voices.
• Verse. The verse of a song is a chance to tell a story. Lyrically
speaking, this is where the story actually develops and
advances. In most songs, the chorus and pre-chorus generally
use the same lyrics each time, so the verse is your chance to
get your message across. It might be helpful to split the story
you want to tell in two and think about how the second verse
can build on the first. Some songwriters use the second verse
as an opportunity to change or subvert the meaning of the
chorus, or even the entire song with different lyrics. It’s a
chance to be creative and explore the different emotions you’re
trying to bring out in your listener.

pattern of the song. • Outro. This is the end of the song. An outro should signal clearly
to the listener that the song is coming to an end. This can be done
in a number of ways, but typically is achieved by doing the reverse
of the intro—in other words, slowing down. More often than not,
the outro is usually a repeat of the chorus with a slow fade-out.

 Linguistic Elements Of Songs
a. Lyrics are written in first,
second, or third person based
on the specific perspective
you choose. Seldom the point
of view of time changes in the
lyrics but this only happens
when necessary.
b. Lyricists use words that
rhyme. Songs generally
speaking, often use notes and
rhymes that are easy to
remember. Rhyme s a
linguistic style based on
consonants or similar sounds
of two or more syllables or
whole words at the end of 1
line; Rhyme is most often
used in poetry and songs.
c. They use alliteration, a stylistic device in which a number of
words that have the same first consonant sound appear close
together in a sequence, for example: A big bully beats a baby boy ;
d. Some songs use poetic devices, such as figure of speech and
parables. Although song can give a vivid picture because it is a
longer medium, imagery can also be found in one sentence.
Imagery is a vivid descriptive language that appeals to one or more
senses (sight, hearing, touch, and taste) for example: Her blue eyes
were as bright as the sun, blue as the sky, but soft as silk. as bright
as the sun, blue as the sky, but soft as silk). A figure of speech
(figure of speech) is a word or phrase that has a different meaning
from its literal meaning (literally);
e. Some songs use word play and slang. Word play is the
manipulation of language (specifically, the sounds, and meanings of
words) with the intent of entertaining; verbal intelligence. Slang is a
type of language that consists of very informal words and phrases.
Slang (slang) is more common in speech than in writing, for
