Song

Every people have different ways in expressing their feeling .they usually write poem,
play music instruments, dance, paint, or sing songs .singing is the easiest way to express our
feeling. You do not need to have good beautiful voice to sing. Through singing and listening
song you can entertain yourself.
Besides, song is emotional .when something is emotional, then of course it is also easier to
remember. when you’re learning English through songs, it will be easier too to remember the
vocabularies inside the song lyrics.

pitch a product and the title as the name of that product. You would want your title to be
memorable and fitting to the theme of the song. You should also highlight your title by
placing it within the lyrics of the song.
2. Verse

refrain is different from the chorus.
4. Chorus
The chorus is the part of the song that often sticks to the mind of a listener because it
contrasts with the verse and is repeated several times .the main theme is expressed in the
chorus; the title of the song is usually included in the chorus too. Coming back to our
salesperson analogy, think of the chorus as the slogan , the words that effectively
summarizes why consumers should buy your product.
The difference between refrain and chorus
There is some confusion as to the function of the refrain and chorus. Although both

the refrain is shorter than the chorus ; often the refrain is composed of 2 lines while the
chorus can be made up of several lines.

Title: wind of change
Singer: Scorpion
Lyric:

[Intro]
(Whistling)

[Verse 1]
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change
(Whistling)

[Verse 2]
The world is closing in
And did you ever think?
That we could be so close?
Like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

[Chorus]
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away(dream away)
In the wind of change
(mmmmmmm)

[Verse 3]
Walking down the street
And distant memories
Are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva
And down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

[Chorus]
Take me(take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night(glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams(share their dreams)
With you and me(you and me)
Take me(take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night(a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away(dream away)
In the wind of change(wind of change)

(Bridge)
The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to sing(sing)

[Chorus]
Take me(take me) to the magic of the moment
On a glory night(a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams(share their dreams)
With you and me(you and me)

On a glory night(a glory night)
Where the children of tomorrow dream away(dream away)
In the wind of change(wind of change)
