Hai everyone, welcome back to my blog( ͡ ͜ʖ ͡ ). So today we gonna talk abour my favorite song. Let's get into it

A song is a short piece of music, usually combines with words, melody, and

vocals. A song consists of words called lyrics, verses which tell the story, and a

refrain, a short phrase repeated at the end of every verse.

the social functions of a song are :

• To entertain the listeners

• To teach moral value through the lyrics of the song

• To express personal feeling /emotion

• To motivate /inspire others

• To appreciate work of art

Generic structure:

❖ Song Title

: a series of lyrics that tell the main story of the song and keep the action or

thoughts moving forward

❖ Chorus/refrain

: meant to be the most memorable part, containing the ultimate message of

the piece

❖ Bridge

: a passage of music that contrasts the verse and the chorus, and is generally

used to take the listener from one section to the next.

Languange features:

- Figurative language ( the use of words, phrase, or sentence to beautify or

sometimes to hide the meaning).

- Rhyme ( a repetition of similar sounds)

- Denotation ( the real meaning)

and connotation ( the hidden meaning)

So here are my assignment:

A Million Dreams

Written by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul

Sung by Ziv Zaifman, Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams

I close my eyes and I can see

The world that's waiting up for me

That I call my own

Through the dark, through the door

Through where no one's been before

But it feels like home

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say I've lost my mind

I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy

We can live in a world that we design

'Cause every night I lie in bed

The brightest colours fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

There's a house we can build

Every room inside is filled

With things from far away

The special things I compile

Each one there to make you smile

On a rainy day

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy

They can say, they can say we've lost our minds

I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy

Runaway to a world that we design

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colours fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

Oh a million dreams for the world we're gonna make

However big, however small

Let me be part of it all

Share your dreams with me

You may be right, you may be wrong

But say that you'll bring me along

To the world you see

To the world I close my eyes to see

I close my eyes to see

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colours fill my head

A million dreams are keeping me awake

A million dreams, a million dreams

I think of what the world could be

A vision of the one I see

A million dreams is all it's gonna take

A million dreams for the world we're gonna make

For the world we're gonna make
