menceritakan kisah yang berkesan dan mengharukan; mewujudkan impian dan
cita-cita seseorang; dan mengenang masa lalu emas. Lagu memiliki banyak tema
dan ekspresi dapat dinikmati oleh setiap masyarakat dengan berbagai latar

menggambarkan situasi sosial yang sedang terjadi di lingkungan penulis lagu,
seperti kejahatan sosial, diskriminasi, krisis lingkungan, dan lain-lain.
2. Fungsi Sosial Song

3. Struktur Umum Song

awal lagu, biasanya belum terdengar suara penyanyi (hanya instrumennya saja)
b.

*Catatan:
Struktur tersebut
bersifat fleksibel, jadi tidak semua lagu memiliki struktur yang tersusun
seperti itu. Tapi setiap lagu secara umum pasti memiliki verse, chorus, dan bridge.
4. Ciri-Ciri Kebahasaan Song
Song
atau lagu memiliki beberapa ciri kebahasaan atau language features, yaitu:
§ Imagery (Perumpamaan/Citra)
Imagery is language
used by poets, novelists and other writers to create images in the mind of the
reader. Imagery includes figurative and metaphorical language to improve the
reader’s experience through their senses. (Citra adalah bahasa yang digunakan
oleh penyair, novelis, dan penulis lain untuk membuat gambar di benak pembaca.
Citra mencakup bahasa kiasan dan metaforis untuk meningkatkan pengalaman
pembaca melalui indra mereka)
§ Rhythm (Ritme)
Rhythm is a strong,
regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound (pola gerakan atau
suara yang kuat, teratur, dan berulang). Ritme disini digunakan untuk
menciptakan mood. Misalnya, apabila kita sedang bersedih dan mendengarkan lagu
dengan ritme slow, maka kita akan terbawa suasana dengan lagu tersebut.
§ Figures of speech (Majas), seperti:
a. Metaphor, comparing
two things that are not alike to suggest that they actually have something in
common. Sekilas memang kedua hal yang dibandingkan tidak berkaitan, tetapi
sebenarnya ada kesamaan antara dua hal tersebut. e.g. “Time is a thief” or “Her
hair was silk”
b. Simile, compares
two things using “like” or “as’’. Suatu hal digambarkan dengan hal yang mirip
dengan menggunakan kata ‘like’ atau ‘as’ e.g. “My love is like a red rose”.
c. Hyperbole, a
dramatic language. Big exaggeration, usually with humor. Suatu hal
digambarkan secara berlebihan, terkadang menggelitik karena terlalu berlebihan.
e.g. “That math homework took me 8
million years to finish”.
d. Personification, an
object appears like a person. Objek (bukan manusia) memiliki kemampuan
seperti manusia.e.g. “The wind whisper” or “The snow flakes danced in the
wind”.
e. Allititration, the
repetition of the same beginning sound in a series of words. Pengulangan
bunyi suara yang terdapat di awal setiap kata. e.g. “Peter Parker pick a pack of pants punctually”

a) Song Lyrics 1 “That’s What Friends Are For”
"That's What Friends Are For"
By Dionne
Warwick
And
I never thought I'd feel this way
And
as far as I'm concerned
I'm
glad I got the chance to say
That
I do believe, I love you
And
if I should ever go away
Well,
then close your eyes and try
To
feel the way we do today
And
then if you can remember
Keep
smiling, keep shining
Knowing
you can always count on me, for sure
That's
what friends are for
For
good times and bad times
I'll
be on your side forever more
That's
what friends are for
Well,
you came and opened me
And
now there's so much more I see
And
so by the way
I
thank you
Oh
and then for the times when we're apart
Well,
then close your eyes and know
The
words are coming from my heart
And
then if you can remember
Keep
smiling and keep shining
Knowing
you can always count on me, for sure
That's
what friends are for
In
good times and bad times
I'll
be on your side forever more
That's
what friends are for
Keep
smiling, keep shining
Knowing
you can always count on me, for sure
That's
what friends are for
For
good times and bad times
I'll
be on your side forever more
That's
what friends are for
Keep
smiling, keep shining
Knowing
you can always count on me, for sure
'Cause
I tell you, that's what friends are for
Whoa,
good times and the bad times
I'll
be on your side forever more
That's
what friends are for

c) Song Lyrics 3 “I’ll Be There For You”
"I'll Be
There For You"
By Bon Jovi
I
guess this time you're really leaving
I
heard your suitcase say goodbye
Well,
as my broken heart lies bleeding
You
say true love is suicide
You
say you've cried a thousand rivers
And
now you're swimming for the shore
You
left me drowning in my tears
And
you won't save me anymore
I'm
praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
I'll
be there for you
These
five words I swear to you
When
you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll
be there for you
I'd
live and I'd die for you
I'd
steal the sun from the sky for you
Words
can't say what love can do
I'll
be there for you
I
know you know we've had some good times
Now
they have their own hiding place
Well,
I can promise you tomorrow
But
I can't buy back yesterday
And,
baby, you know my hands are dirty
But
I wanted to be your Valentine
I'll
be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When
you get drunk, I'll be the wine
I'll
be there for you
These
five words I swear to you
When
you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll
be there for you
I'd
live and I'd die for you
I'd
steal the sun from the sky for you
Words
can't say what love can do
I'll
be there for you
I
wasn't there when you were happy
And
I wasn't there when you were down
I
didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
I
wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
I'll
be there for you
These
five words I swear to you
When
you breathe I wanna be the air for you
I'll
be there for you
I'd
live and I'd die for you
I'd
steal the sun from the sky for you
Words
can't say what love can do
I'll
be there for
I'll
be there for you
These
five words I swear to you
When
you breathe I want to be the air for you
I'll
be there for you
I'd
live and I'd die for you
I'd
steal the sun from the sky for you
Words
can't say what a love can do
I'll
be there for you Source:
