What is the general format of the lyrics of a song?

Two-part and three-part composition and two commonly used creative forms. Composition of two-part verse: Lyrics are generally composed of one-part verse, two-part verse, three-part verse and multi-part verse. At present, the most commonly used creative formats of popular lyrics in China are two-stage and three-stage First of all, let's introduce the composition of two-stage body. The dimer consists of a+B, so what is "A"? "A" refers to the front part of the lyrics. What is a song? That's what we always say. Such as: the first paragraph, the second paragraph, the third paragraph and so on. These fragments are collectively called Ge Zheng in the lyrics. What is b? "B" refers to the chorus part of the lyrics. What is a chorus? Is what we often call an orgasm. We call it chorus in the lyrics. A+B two-part verse is actually chorus+chorus, which consists of these two parts. Just now we introduced the composition of two parts. Now we will introduce the format of the two-part text. Two-paragraph text also has a variety of formats. This paper mainly introduces the "8+ 4" and "8+8" formats commonly used in the "8+"format. They are composed of two parts: chorus part and chorus part. The meaning of "8+4" and "8+8": the front "8" or other numbers correct the song, and the back "4", "8" or other numbers refer to the chorus part. The song is divided into two paragraphs, each with four sentences and eight sentences, which is the first paragraph and the second paragraph of the song. The chorus has four sentences and eight sentences. So we call this format "8+4" and "8+8" formats. Of course, there are other 8+ formats, and here we mainly talk about these two formats. Here, we need to pay attention to a detail, that is, the number of words in each paragraph of the four lyrics should not be too different. There's no problem missing a word or two. If the number of words is too different, it will bring difficulties to composers. Therefore, when writing lyrics, we should also consider whether it is difficult for composers to compose music. A good poet should not only write better works, but also take into account the situation of composition and singer singing. When writing in the early stage, we should pave the way for later composition and singing. Therefore, when writing lyrics, we should pay attention to the number of words in each four-sentence lyric, and the number of words in the second paragraph should be basically the same as that in the first paragraph. In this way, the main part of the song is basically completed. Next, the chorus. Chorus usually consists of four or eight sentences, and their words need to be basically the same, but they don't need to be the same as the lyrics of the main song. Because they are two parts: A+B. This is the most basic method of lyrics, suitable for friends who just started to learn lyrics. You can start with "8+4" first, and then "8+8", which must be done step by step. (That's how I practice, hehe) Next, let's look at an example. Example Appreciation: "The Sound of the Waves Still" Lyrics: Chen Xiaoqi Singing: Mao Ning Ge Zheng Part: Take away a fishing fire and let him warm my eyes, leaving true feelings for it to dock at Fengqiao. Helpless, I have alienated that emotion. After many years, I found myself back in front of you. The lingering bell still beats my sleepless nights. Dusty days will never become clouds. You must have kept that smiling face for years. Chorus part: the moon is always a thousand years of wind and frost, and the sound of the waves is still missing the original night. How do you and I repeat yesterday's story today? Can this old ticket board your passenger ship? The song "The Sound of the Waves Still" sung by Mao Ning is a typical "8+4" format. It is the most basic, common and commonly used creative format we just mentioned. The main song has four sentences per paragraph, the chorus has two paragraphs and four sentences, which is a typical "8+4" format. Next, let's look at an example: "True Hero" Lyrics: Jonathan Lee Singing: Jonathan Lee, Jackie Chan, Emil Wakin Chau, Huang Yaoming Ge Zheng Part: In my heart, there was a dream that made you forget all the pain with singing. Who is the real hero in the bright starry sky? Ordinary people touched me the most, without hate or pain. I hope there are traces of love all over the world. I wish you a sincere smile with our songs. I wish you all the best. Chorus part: seize every minute of life, go all out to dream in your heart, how can you see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? No one can succeed casually, grasp every touch in life, hug your beloved friends warmly, and let sincere words and happy tears flow in your heart and mine. This inspirational song "True Hero" sung by Jonathan Lee, Jackie Chan, Emil Wakin Chau and Huang Yaoming adopts the form of "8+8". The main song has two parts, each with four sentences and eight sentences, which are the same as the main song of The Sound of the Waves Still. The only difference is that it appears in the chorus section. There are only four lines in the chorus of The Sound of the Waves Still, and eight lines in the chorus of The True Hero. Only this line is different, and all the other parts are the same. From the comparison of these two lyrics, we can easily find that the format of "8+8" evolved from the format of "8+4". (2) Now we all know that a lyric consists of a chorus and a chorus. So is a lyric only composed of a main song and a chorus? The answer is definitely not! A lyric consists of four parts: a regular song, a transitional sentence, a chorus and an ending sentence. Then why not just say the transition sentence and the ending sentence, just the chorus and the chorus? Because a lyric must have a chorus and a chorus to be combined. In other words, chorus and chorus can form independent lyrics, and there is no need for transitional sentences and ending sentences. When are the transitional sentences and the final sentences used? Transition sentences and ending sentences are increased or decreased according to the needs of the works, and not every work will have transition sentences and ending sentences. In this section, we will explain the usage of transition sentences and ending sentences in detail in two paragraphs. Let's talk about what is a turning sentence first. Transitional sentences first appear between chorus and chorus. It is like a bridge, which connects chorus and chorus closely. Many songs have transitional sentences. Why use a turning sentence? Because after using the transition sentence, the composer can better transition to the chorus part through the transition sentence, so that the work can complete such a transformation process from static to micro-motion and then to extreme motion. It is easier to make the work feel layered in hearing. From static to dynamic, it finally gives people a shocking effect on hearing and pushes the whole music to a climax. Of course, this can't be generalized, but it depends on the work itself. Novices must remember! Learn and use it. Example Appreciation: Lyrics of "Forgotten Water": Li Anxiu Singing: Andy Lau Ge Zheng Part: I used to love chasing dreams when I was young, but I just wanted to fly forward and travel all over Qian Shan, and I couldn't come back all the way. Looking back suddenly, I can't help but be in the horizon, only to understand that love and hate are the most painful things. Transition sentence: If you have never broken your heart, you will not understand my sadness. When my eyes are full of tears, don't ask who I am for, just let me forget all this. Chorus: Ah! Give me a cup of forgetful water, because I won't cry all night, so I sincerely let it rain and wind, and my love can't be redeemed. Give me a cup of forgetful water, so that I will never be sad. Even if I am drunk, my heart will be broken and I can't see my tears. Andy Lau's song "Forget the Water of the Year" is very pleasant to hear, and the transitional sentences in his works are also well written! Please pay attention to the last sentence of the second paragraph of this lyric. Not going up, but going down, so it is impossible to sing the chorus directly. Instead, it transits to the chorus in the form of a transitional sentence, thus pushing the whole work to a climax and achieving an auditory shocking effect. This is from static to micro-motion and then to polar motion, which gives the hearing a sense of hierarchy and the direction is very harmonious, so it sounds very comfortable and pleasant. Next, let's talk about the ending sentence. What is the ending sentence? As the name implies, it is placed at the end of a lyric. Yes, that's right, but not every work has an ending sentence. Still depends on the work. Why is there an ending sentence? Because many music works are from static to dynamic and then to static, such a changing process. This is to render more emotional colors, which can move people's hearts most. There is often such a sensational and tearful feeling in it, which is also an artistic technique. There are three other ways to write lyrics with ending sentences. The first is to put the ending sentence in the lyrics at the end of the whole song, and then sing the ending sentence and the whole song ends; Example appreciation: "Come back to my love" Lyrics: Singing: Yang Ge Part: Missing tastes like this cup of bitter coffee. Although you can add some sugar, it still makes people feel haggard, and the past cannot be traced. Memories are like a cold wind. It was all my fault, which broke your heart and never looked back. Transition sentence: I regret it all night now, and I hope you can come back. How can I face it without you in the future Chorus: God, please give me a chance to compensate my sweetheart for some comfort. If life can be reincarnated, I would rather go back in time, and I will be miserable tomorrow, although my mood is surrounded by loneliness. I hope you can understand and forgive what I have done. Ending sentence: come back, come back, come back, my love, come back, come back, my love. Lyrics of Providence: Li Anxiu Singing: Andy Lau National Anthem: Who cares how bitter my heart is, where I will go tomorrow, how bumpy this road is, and neither you nor I can turn back. Transition: I can't hide my love. I am at the mercy of the world. I'm not afraid of pain or loss. I am afraid that no matter how hard I try, I will be helpless. Chorus: If everything is providence and fate, it is doomed after all. If you can love for one more day and take another look, the harm will be less. If everything is providence and destiny, and no one can escape, then why not love this life mercilessly? Ending sentence: heartless and loveless, accept my fate in this life. The second song is similar to the first one, except that its ending sentence ends with the first paragraph or the second paragraph or a few words in the lyrics; Example Appreciation: Lyrics/Singing of "Looking into the Distance": Ka Kui Wong Ge Zheng Part: It's still a rainy night, staring at the sunken sky outside the window and asking God if he can know his feelings. With the passage of time, endless love is hidden in his heart, like an ice peak's eyes lost their direction. Transition sentence: Let the raindrops fall gently, and cover up the melancholy, like a broken star shining in the sky to call you. Ge Zheng: Looking forward to the future, I hope I can accompany her like a breeze, so that my lonely arms can hug you again and again. Looking back, I sigh helplessly like a fog. It was her laughter that blew gently in the wind. Chorus: I need you every day, hold you forever, forget all the pain and sorrow in the world, even if we are far apart, I will hear your call and look forward to seeing you again in my life. Ending sentence: it's still a rainy night staring at the sunken sky outside the window, asking heaven if you know how you feel in your heart. With the passage of time, endless love is hidden in your heart, just like the eyes of Bing Feng have lost their direction. Lyrics of Want to Say: Yuan Weiren Singing: Xu Zhian Ge Zheng Part: I really want to wait by your side. Your gentle eyes block the sadness. I really want to dock in your harbor, so that the boat can dock forever and never sail again. Transition sentence: I am sad alone every dark night, but I am afraid of this missing, but I can't hide it. I wait for the dawn at every dawn, waiting for you to give me an immortal fire. Chorus: I have something to say in my heart. You know the pain in my heart. There are too many emotions. The water under the bridge has something to say. You know the pain in my heart. The tears I don't want to complain about are endless. Ending sentence: I really want to wait by your side. Your gentle eyes blocked the sadness. I really want to be able to berth in your harbor, so that the boat can berth forever and never sail again. The third kind: although this ending sentence is also placed at the end of the lyrics, it often transitions to the chorus after singing the ending sentence and finally ends in the chorus. This is normal and common. Composers should decide how to repeat, transition and end according to words and works. Whether the last sound falls in the last sentence or not, it is the last sentence. It depends on the format of the lyrics. Not a transitional sentence, please pay attention to your friends! Example Appreciation: Lyrics/Singing of "Broad Sky": Ka Kui Wong Ge Zheng Part: Today, I watched the snow drift away on a cold night, drifting away with a cold heart. I couldn't tell the trace from the fog in the wind and rain. Can you and I change the sky? (Who hasn't changed) How many times have we met with cold eyes and ridicule, never giving up the ideal in our hearts, and the feeling of being lost in an instant makes our love fade unconsciously. Chorus part: Forgive me for being addicted to love and freedom all my life, but I am also afraid that one day I will degenerate and be abandoned by anyone, so I am afraid that one day it will be just you and me. Ending sentence: Still free, sing my song forever, and walk Wan Li Road. Chorus part: Forgive me for my unrestrained indulgence in love and freedom in my life, and I am afraid that I will degenerate and be abandoned by anyone one day, and that one day it will be just you and me. Lyrics of "There is a Love Called Letting Go": Zhang Jiaxing Singing: Ge Zheng, A Mu Part: If the paradise of two people is like a warm wall that imprisons your dreams, is happiness like an iron window? Migratory birds have lost the south. If you yearn for the sky and are eager to have a pair of wings to fly, your wings should not accompany the roses and listen to the lost time. Transition sentence: If romance becomes a stumbling block, I will choose to return to loneliness for you. If lingering becomes a shackle, I will abandon my promise. Chorus part: There is a kind of love, called letting go for love and giving up forever. If we are together, let true love take me away. There is a kind of love called letting go, because love ends forever. If I leave, let true love take me away and say goodbye. Ending sentence: I lost you and hurt you for you. I left you for you, and I will never leave. At present, the lyrics of popular songs have the above three situations, but the third one is relative, and the transition from the ending sentence to the chorus is at the end. So how can we understand, master and remember these formats better and faster? There is only one shortcut: listen more, see more, write more and practice more. ........
