Hero

Mariah Carey

There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold
You can find love
If you search within yourself
And that emptiness you felt
Will disappear

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you, oh, oh

Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away, hey yeah
Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time you'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you
That a hero lies in you
Mmm, that a hero lies in you

The meaning of again 

There's a hero
Ada seorang pemberani
If you look inside your heart
Jika kau lihat ke dalam hatimu
You don't have to be afraid
Kau tak perlu takut
Of what you are
Akan siapa dirimu
There's an answer
Ada sebuah jawaban
If you reach into your soul
Jika kau jangkau jiwamu
And the sorrow that you know
Dan luka yang kau tahu
Will melt away
Akan meleleh

And then a hero comes along
Dan kemudian muncullah seorang pemberani
With the strength to carry on
Yang memiliki kekuatan untuk bertahan
And you cast your fears aside
Dan kau singkirkan rasa takutmu
And you know you can survive
Dan kau tahu kau bisa bertahan
So when you feel like hope is gone
Maka jika kau merasa seolah harapan telah sirna
Look inside you and be strong
Lihatlah ke dalam dirimu dan kuatlah
And you'll finally see the truth
Dan akhirnya kau akan melihat kebenaran
That a hero lies in you
Bahwa seorang pemberani ada di dalam dirimu

It's a long road
Jalan yang panjang
When you face your world alone
Saat kau hadapi duniamu sendirian
No one reaches out a hand
Tak seorangpun mengulurkan tangan
For you to hold
Untuk kau genggam
You can find love
Kau bisa menemukan cinta
If you search within yourself
Jika kau cari di dalam dirimu
And the emptiness you felt
Dan rasa hampa yang kau rasa
Will disappear
Akan hilang

Outdoors

Song by: Jason Mraz

All day I’ve been inside

I will choose my favorite English song, who can't wait to see my video singing? cung yes guys hehehe, before that I will also explain the meaning of the song and its structure. Stay on my blog, guys, thank you ❤

In learning activity 1 we have discussed the social function, the language features and

parts of song.

Let’s take another look at the parts of song.

                                      

DEFINITION

-----------------

Song is a short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be sung or a single work of music intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections.

SOCIAL FUNCTION

---------------------------

The social functions of song are:

a.   To entertain the listeners.

b.   To teach moral value through the lyrics of the songs.

c.   To provide a way of managing the relationship between our public and private emotional life.

d.   To express personal feeling and cultural values.

e.   To give someone to not only shares their emotions with others, but also to have an emotional connection that just can’t be experienced in any other way.

GENERIC STRUCTURE

---------------------------------

The general structure of a song consists of verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus. It is better for us to learn more about the complete structure of songs.

a. Intro

The introduction establishes melodic, harmonic, and/or rhythmic related to the main body of song.

b. Verse

It is the section of the song structure that tells the story. This is the exposition, describing the scene or the person, or an emotion. There are usually two or three verses in a row that have the same musical structure, the same rhyme and poetic meter, but different words. The second verse builds on the picture painted in the first verse, etc.

c. Chorus of Refrain

A chorus is the most repeated section, so it’s the easiest remembered. A chorus is the summary of the song’s story. All the verses have been leading up to the chorus, and is usually the part of the song people sing along with. A chorus can come at the beginning of the song structure; it can also start in the middle, or come at the end. In fact, some songs don’t have choruses at all. Some people are usually confused to differentiate between choruses and refrain. A refrain is any line that repeats in the song lyric, while a chorus is any group of lines that repeat.

d. Break

A break is actually a brief “rest” or “pause” for the core melody within a song used to add further dimension and excitement. It may include a quick instrumental solo or drum interlude or it may be a brief moment of silence, or a combination of each of these elements.

e. Bridge

This is the part of the song that shifts. It can suddenly change tempo, or volume, or instrumentation. The bridge is the section that gives the audience time to reflect on the story, or gives them the “climax” or conclusion of the story through verses and chorus. Bridges can be used to give the singer a break.

f. Outro or Coda

This is the end of the road for the song. It can repeat the intro, chorus or a refrain as an outro, or a bridge with an instrumental solo.

Below Are Some Forms of Song’s Structure

Intro-verse-verse-chorus-break-verse-verse-break-bridge-break-out

Verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus.

LANGUAGE FEATURES

---------------------------------

The following are the language features of songs.

a. Imagery. Imagery describes about feelings and emotions. Sebuah lagu biasanya berusaha menggambarkan perasaan yang dirasakan si penulis.

b. Rhythm. Ritme disini digunakan untuk menciptakan mood. Misalnya, apabila kita sedang bersedih dan mendengarkan lagu dengan ritme slow, maka kita akan terbawa suasana dengan lagu tersebut. So, rhythm creates mood!

c. Figures of speech

Metaphor, comparing two things that are not alike to suggest that they actually have something in common. Sekilas memang kedua hal yang dibandingkan tidak berkaitan, tetapi sebenarnya ada kesamaan antara dua hal tersebut.e.g. “Time is a thief” or “Her hair was silk”. 

Simile, compares two things using “like” or “as’’. Suatu hal digambarkan dengan hal yang mirip dengan menggunakan kata ‘like’ atau ‘as’ e.g. “My love is like a red rose”. The other simile would be presented in this box below.

Hyperbole, a dramatic language. Big exaggeration, usually with humor. Suatu hal digambarkan secara berlebihan, terkadang menggelitik karena terlalu berlebihan.
e.g. “That math homework took me 8 million years to finish”. 
Personification, an object appear like a person. Objek (bukan manusia) memiliki kemampuan seperti manusia. e.g. “The wind whisper” or “The snowflakes danced in the wind”.  
Alli titration, the repetation of the same beginning sound in a series of words. Perulangan bunyi suara yang terdapat di awal setiap kata. e.g. “Peter Parker pick a pack of pants punctually”

   Hero

 By mariah carey

 ---------------------

(Verse 1)

There's a hero if you look inside your heart,

You don't have to be afraid of what you are.

And There's an answer, if you reach into your soul,

And the sorrow that you know will melt away.

(Chorus)

And then a hero comes along,

With the strength to carry on.

And you cast your fears aside,

And you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone,

Just Look inside you and be strong.

And you'll finally see the truth,

That a hero lies in you...

(Verse 2)

It's a long road, when you face the world alone;

No one reaches out a hand for you to hold...

You can find love if you search within yourself

And then the emptiness you felt will disappear...

(Chorus)

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And then you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive.

So, when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And then you'll finally see the truth

See That a hero lies in you.

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 colors 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

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 colors 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

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

We may be right, we may be wrong

But I wanna bring you along

To the world I see

To the world we close our eyes to see

We close our eyes to see

Every night I lie in bed

The brightest colors 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

A million dreams for the world we're gonna make
