Songtext - What is a Song?

A song is a composition of musical lyrics accompanied by a melody and other instrumental elements. A song can be a formal composition such as a classical piece, or an informal composition such as a folk song.

A paroles is the written words of a song or poem, which may include rhymes and rhythms. A song's melody may be based on a melody already written, or it can be derived from other songs.

The songwriter writes the lyrics first, then the melody is created using guitars and other instruments to match the song's tempo. It's also important to have a good understanding of the genre you are writing in, as this will help you decide what kind of tempo and other elements will be best suited for the lyrics.

Generally, there are five main sections to a song: the Pre-chorus, Verse, Chorus, Bridge and Outro. Sometimes there are extra sections that don't fit into the standard structure, but are usually part of the same theme as the rest of the song.

Pre-chorus: The pre-chorus is typically used before the verse to introduce the lyrics and to set the tone of the song. It's normally short, but it can be longer if necessary to create a different energy in the song.
