Research Into Genre I Am Using

Singer/ Songwriters are musicians who write, compose and sing there own musical material including lyrics and melodies, Singer/ songwriters often perform the entire composition or song themselves, typically using a piano or guitar. I have asked a good friend of mine called Anna to help me out, she is studying music A Levels at the moment which means that she will have a lot of knowledge and understanding how to write and compose songs.

Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift are good examples of Singer/ Songwriters, both the compositions and the arrangements are written primarily as solos, with he material angled towards tropical issues; sometimes political, sometimes introspective, sensitive, romantic and confessional.

If you could see
That I'm the one
Who understands you,
Been here all along.
So, why can't you see—
You belong with me?

 -Here are lyrics to Taylor Swifts song 'You Belong With Me' her songs are more love and romance based, the lyrics have a lot of meaning to it as it describes her past experiences with someone she liked. She also falls under the Singer and Songwriter category as she played her own instruments to create her song. Ed Sheeran's lyrics also have a very deep meanings to it such as his song 'The A Team', this song gives a great meaning across, his lyrics consists of him sing about prostitution, drugs and violence.

The worst things in life come free to us
Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
And sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
