Jerome Wrote:Well if it is not lyrical don't call it a song. Songs have words - that's why they are called songs. They are meant to be sung. Sing, Sang, Sung, Song - get it?
We've had this discussion on the Board and Bro Jerome is dead on point--to be a song, it must involve the human voice and, practically speaking, words (the wordless but voice-involving early music choruses and similar modern excursions maybe the exception that proves the rule). I had to re-program myself to call non-voice music "tunes". What you call it when they are not tuneful either, I have no clue.
I'll now ship the oars on my kayak.
