18 Songs are tended to be written in a simple language enough to be
understood on first hearing. Most songs are written by the author or writer to express their thoughts and feelings. Vendler 2010 explains that lyric is the genre
of private life; it is what we say to ourselves when we are alone p. xl. However, there are some contemporary song writers who have created songs that require
listeners to pay close and repeated attention to their words. As a result, the listeners will need to learn the song for many times in order to get a better
understanding. In addition, actually the combination between poetry and music had
already happened since Greek s‟ ancient. The Greeks‟ lyric was a song
accompanied by a lyre. It is shown that actually song lyrics have the same typography with poetry. The difference only on the way they are conveyed to the
audiences. Then, Burto, Barnet and Berman 1993 explain that lyric is set in the present, catching a speaker in a moment of expression p. 420.
