you join approximately one billion other people around the world who are involved in
the same pursuit. However, because you are trying to memorize proper grammar, and
try to avoid the common mistake for students learning English, you might be
wondering why you can learn English in the first place.
Language phys an important role in human life. One seeks to acquire, keam
and use the language as a means of communication, and social as well as a symbol of
humanity. By using the language a person can make statements, convey facts and
knowledge, exphin or report something, and maintaining social relationships between
the users of the language This shows that by using language, people can express their
ideas, feelings, etc. Of information through communication.
In developing countries such as Indonesia, the UK has a vital role in all
aspects of life. Especially in science and technology. Furthermore, it can be used to
develop relationships in international forums, to read English books (especially for
students from elementary school to college/university), to strengthen the relationship
between the nations of the world, etc. As students, we learn English intended to

 CHAPTER II
THEORY AND DISCUSION
A. Motivation Through Song
1. Definition Song
A song is a single (and often standalone) work of music intended to be
sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound
and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections.
Song 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.

2. Social Function of Song

 To entertain the listeners.
 To teach moral value through the lyrics of the songs.
 To provide a way of managing the realitionship between our public and
private emotional life.
 To express personal feeling and cultural values.
 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.

3. 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.
 Below Are Some Forms of Song’s Structure Intro-verse-verse- chorus-
break-verse-verse-break-bridge-break-out Verse-chorus-verse-chorus-
bridge-chorus
Example:
Michael Jackson Verse 1 What about sunrise What about rain What about all the
things that you said We were to gain What about killing fields Is there a time
What about all the things That you said were yours and mine
Chorus: Did you ever stop to notice All the blood we’ve shed before Did you
ever stop to notice This crying Earth, these weeping shores Aah, ooh
Verse 2: What have we done to the world Look what we’ve done What about all
the peace That you pledge your only son What about flowering fields
Is there a time What about all the dreams That you said was yours and mine
Chorus: Did you ever stop to notice All the children dead from war Did you ever
stop to notice This crying earth, these weeping shores Aah, ooh Aah, ooh
Verse 3: I used to dream I used to glance beyond the stars Now I don’t know
where we are Although I know we’ve drifted far Aah, ooh Aah, ooh Aah, ooh
Aah, ooh
Bridge: Hey, what about yesterday (What about us)
What about the seas (What about us) The heavens are falling down (What about
us) I can’t even breathe (What about us) What about apathy (What about us)
Drowning in the seas (What about us) What about the promised land Preachin’
what I believe (What about us) What about the holy land (What about it) What
about the greed (What about us) Where did we go wrong Someone tell me why
(What about us) What about baby boy (What about him) What about the days
(What about us) What about all their joy
Do we give a damn Aah, ooh Aah, ooh

4. Language Feature of Song

Song lyrics can appeal to emotions, and they should also appeal to the ear.
It can be assumed that different genres of songs will exhibit different styles of
lyrics. The verse of songs contains the details of the song: the story, the events,
images, and emotions that the writer wishes to express. Song are not always
composed of simple sentence structure or grammar. Lyrics are characterized by
the use of rhythms, conversational speech, and poetic expressions. The following
are the leanguage features of songs.
Lyrics are written in first, second, or third person given on the specific
perspective you choose. Ofter time point of views change in lyrics, but only when
needed. They use rhyming words. Usually songs use a familiar catchy tune and
rhyme. A rhyme is a linguistic style, based on consonance or similiar sound of two
or more syllables or whole words at the end of one line; rhymes are most
commonly used in poetry and songs. They use alliteration. It is a stylistic device in
which a number of words, having the same first conconant sound, occur close
together in a series, for example: A big bully beats a baby boy. Some songs use
poetic devices, such as figure of speech and imagery. While songs can paint a
vivid picture since they are longer mediums. Imagery can be found in just a single
sentences as well. Imagery is vivid descriptive language that appeals to one or
more of the senses (sight, hearing, touch, semll, and taste) for example: Her blue
eyes were as bright as the sun, blue as the sky, but soft as silk. A figure of speech
is a word or phrase that has a meaning something different than its literal
meaning. Some songs use amusing word play and slang language. A word play is
the manipulation of language (in particular, the sounds, and meanings of words)
with the intent to amuse; verbal wit. Salng is kind of language consisting of very
informal words and phrases. Slang is more common in speech than in writing, for
example: gonna, wanna, ain’t, etc.
B. It Can Be Explained

explain why it can happen and also the reason. For example, rain, water
circulation, to earthquakes. This text has a function to explain how and why
something can happen.

events, cause and effect explanation. For example, the process of human
life.
