Hallo Students. Kali ini kita bahas tentang materi song atau lagu. Udah pada tau kanapa itu song ? Song atau lagu ini sering banget nemenin kehidupan kita sehari-hari, kan. Dengan banyak aliran yang ada, Song pun digemari banyak orang.

Pengertian

Jadi, Lagu adalah gubahan seni nada atau suara dalam suatu urutan, kombinasi, dan hubungan temporal (biasanya diiringi dengan alat musik) untuk menghasilkan gubahan musik yang mengandung kesatuan dan kesinambungan.

Tujuan


Songs are used to express feeling and idea in an entertaining world. Songs can be used to deliver social criticism. The moral values are hidden in the lyrics.

Lagu merupakan salah satu cara untuk mengekspresikan emosi dan perasaan dengan cara yang menyenangkan. Lagu juga dapat menjadi media untuk menyampaikan kritikan tentang situasi yang ada di masyarakat. Moral value atau amanat biasanya tersirat dalam lirik yang dibuat penulis lagu.


Ciri kebahasaan

Song atau lagu juga punya ciri kebahasaan, lho! Nah, berikut ciri kebahasaan dari song.

  • Imagery. Imagery describes about feelings and emotions. Sebuah lagu biasanya berusaha menggambarkan perasaan yang dirasakan si penulis.

  • Rhythm. 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. So, rhythm creates mood!

  • Figures of speech

  1. 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 haisr was silk”

  2. 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”.

  3. 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”.

  4. Personification, an object appear like a person. Objek (bukan manusia) memiliki kemampuan seperti manusia. e.g. “The wind whisper” or “The snowflakes danced in the wind”.

  5. Allititration, the repetation of the same beginning sound in a series of words. Perulangan bunyi suara yang terdapat di awal setiap kata. e.g. “Peter Parker pick a pack of pants punctually”

Struktur

  • Intro, yaitu bagian awal lagu, biasanya belum terdengar suara penyanyi (hanya instrumennya saja)

  • Verse,atau bait adalah bagian pengantar ke chorus.

  • Refrain, peralihan dari verse ke chorus

  • Chorus, bagian inti, biasanya yang paling mudah diingat.

  • Bridge, penghubung chorus ke chorus selanjutnya ataupun ke coda.

  • Coda, penutup lagu.

Struktur tersebut tidak bersifat kaku, jadi tidak semua lagu memiliki struktur yang tersusun seperti itu. Tapi setiap lagu secara umum pasti memiliki verse, chorus, dan bridge.


Contoh


Here some songs for you (:

Welcome to My Life

Do you ever feel like breaking down?

Do you ever feel out of place,

Like somehow you just don't belong

And no one understands you?

Do you ever wanna run away?

Do you lock yourself in your room

With the radio on turned up so loud

That no one hears you're screaming?

No, you don't know what it's like

When nothing feels all right

You don't know what it's like

To be like me

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No, you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?

Are you sick of feeling so left out?

Are you desperate to find something more

Before your life is over?

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?

Are you sick of everyone around?

With their big fake smiles and stupid lies

While deep inside you're bleeding

No, you don't know what it's like

When nothing feels all right

You don't know what it's like

To be like me

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face

And no one ever stabbed you in the back

You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay

Everybody always gave you what you wanted

You never had to work it was always there

You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No, you don't know what it's like (What it's like)

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked when you're down

To feel like you've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breaking down

And no one's there to save you

No, you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life

Here Without You

A hundred days have made me older Since the last time that I saw your pretty face. A thousand lies have made me colder And I don't think I can look at this the same. All the miles that separate Disappear now when I'm dreamin' of your face. I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time. I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl, it's only you and me. The miles just keep rollin' As the people leave their way to say hello I've heard this life is overrated But I hope that it gets better as we go.

I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time. I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight, it's only you and me. Everything I know, and anywhere I go, It gets hard but it won't take away my love. And when the last one falls, when its all said and done. It gets hard but it won't take away my love. I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind. I think about you baby and I dream about you all the time. I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight, it's only you and me.
