"Soft words, with nothing in them, make a song."

A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody using patterns of sound and silence. Songs have a structure, such as the common ABA form, and are usually made of sections that are repeated or performed with variation later. A song without instruments is said to be a cappella.

"They sang of love and not of fame; Forgot was Britains glory; Each heart recalled a different name, But all sang "Annie Laurie."
"My songs has been my messages that I tried to scatter across the back sides and along the steps of the fire escapes and on the window sills and through the dark halls."
"And heaven had wanted one immortal song."
"What is not worth saying sounds very well when it is sung."
"Etiam singulorum fatigatio quamlibet se rudi modulatione solatur."
