Bacalah uraian singkat materi dan contoh berikut dengan penuh konsentrasi!

DO YOU KNOW?

Songs are aimed at entertaining the listeners. However, they are also the
artists’ medium for expressing their feelings. Sometimes moral values are
hidden in the lyrics. The language features of a song are as follows.
1. Imagery is used to describe feelings and emotions, e.g. ‘When people can
be so cold’.
2. Rhythm is used to create the mood of the song.
3. Experiences sometimes told use figures of speech, e.g. ‘And you need a
helping hand’.

The structure of a song:

1. Verse is the main part of a song that tells a story.
2. Refrain/chorus is a part of the song that is repeated. The rhythm of this
part is distinct from the verse.
3. Coda is a line that closes a song.

The topic of our song is an inspiring rolemodel.

Contoh

Berikut adalah contoh lagu bertema sama, bagian-bagiannya serta maknanya.

Kegiatan Belajar 2

Setelah kalian belajar tentang definisi, fungsi sosial, struktur dan makna lagu
pada contoh kegiatan belajar 1, sekarang perhatikan uraian singkat materi
berikut !

DO YOU KNOW?

A song paraphrase is a restatement of a song giving the meaning in another

form.

To paraphrase a song means to restate a song using other words without

changing the meaning.

Examples of paraphrasing parts of song lyrics of John Legend‘s hit piano

ballad ‘All of Me’ is one of the most romantic love songs ever.
Verse
“What would I do without your smart
mouth? / Drawing me in / And you
kicking me out / You’ve got my head
spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you
down / What’s going on in that
beautiful mind / I’m on your magical
mystery ride / And I’m so dizzy, don’t
know what hit me, but I’ll be all right.”
Paraphrase
The singer croons how he knows his lady
love is the one. He loves her, flaws and
all. Even when she is yelling, screaming
or driving him nuts, he still loves every
inch of her. Taking the good with the bad
is love of the most unconditional sort.
We’re breaking down the further
meaning of ‘All of Me,’ lyrically speaking.
She is a mystery and hard to handle, and
she makes him totally unsure and
uncertain, but he knows their
relationship is one roller coaster ride he
can’t and doesn’t want to get off. Despite
the chaos, there is something so
magnetizing about her. Again, that’s love.

”’Cause all of me / Loves all of you / It’s essentially an update of those

Love your curves and all your edges /
All your perfect imperfections / Give
your all to me / I’ll give my all to you /
You’re my end and my beginning /
Even when I lose I’m winning / ‘Cause
I give you all of me.”
standard “to have and to hold” wedding
vows. He is in it for the long haul,
through thick, thin, up and down. Did
your knees just get a little weak, like ours
did? It’s not physical beauty he speaks of,
either. Her curves and edges are the
peaks and valleys of their relationship.

“How many times do I have to tell you
/ Even when you’re crying you’re
beautiful too / The world is beating
you down, I’m around through every
mood / You’re my downfall, you’re my
muse / My worst distraction, my
rhythm and blues / I can’t stop singing,
it’s ringing, in my head for you.”
She is everything to him. The best and
the worst, and that’s a truly balanced
relationship. You know how they say that
couples who never fight are destined to
split, since arguing and clearing the air is
healthy behavior?
