There are all kinds of songs. Ballads tell stories. Some songs are brief and repetitive. The rhythm can make sure the point gets across. Some are silly or sweet or angry. Some songwriters spend a lot of time on the lyrics: the flow, the meaning, the imagery, the poetry. The power of the words. Others are more focused on the tune, the instrumental, or they just weave something magical out of notes and words that rhyme. Some ache with emotion. There are the blues, and there’s folk which tends to have a societal edge. Hymns are prayers with melody.
One song I composed is just the repetition of a single syllable: Hey!
