Songs have been an amusing companion for human beings for as long as or even longer than
we can speak. Songs are highly expressive. Some convey love and emotions ; some tell a
memorable and moving story; some embody one’s dreams and ideals; and some reminisce
about the golden past. Songs are abundant in themes and expressions which will echo in the
learner’s heart.
The social function of songs are:
a. To entertain the listeners.

b. To teach moral value through the lyrics of the songs.
c. To provide a way of managing the relationship between our public and private
emotional life.
d. To express personal feeling and cultural values.
e. To give someone to not only shares their emotions with others, but also to have an
emotional connection that just can’t be experienced in any other way.
GENERAL STRUCTURE OF SONGS

The general structure of a song consists of verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus. It is better for us
to learn more about the complete structure of songs.
a. Intro
The introduction establishes melodic, harmonic, and/or rhythmic related to the main body of
song.
b. Verse
It is the section of the song structure that tells the story. This is the exposition, describing the
scene or the person, or an emotion. There are usually two or three verses in a row that have
the same musical structure, the same rhyme and poetic meter, but different words. The second
verse builds on the picture painted in the first verse, etc.
c. Chorus of Refrain
A chorus is the most repeated section, so it’s the easiest remembered. A chorus is the summary
of the song’s story. All the verses have been leading up to the chorus, and is usually the part of
the song people sing along with. A chorus can come at the beginning of the song structure; it
can also start in the middle, or come at the end. In fact, some songs don’t have choruses at all.
Some people are usually confused to differentiate between choruses and refrain. A refrain is
any line that repeats in the song lyric, while a chorus is any group of lines that repeat.
d. Break
A break is actually a brief “rest” or “pause” for the core melody within a song used to add
further dimension and excitement. It may include a quick instrumental solo or drum interlude
or it may be a brief moment of silence, or acombination of each of these elements.
e. Bridge
This is the part of the song that shifts. It can suddenly change tempo, or volume, or
instrumentation. The bridge is the section that gives the audience time to reflect on the story,
or gives them the “climax” or conclusion of the story through verses and chorus. Bridges can be
used to give the singer a break.
f. Outro or Coda
This is the end of the road for the song. It can repeat the intro, chorus or a refrain as an outro,
or a bridge with an instrumental solo.
