The following examples will help you get your juices flowing and spark some creativity. These examples have been taken from a Blended Genre paper written by Mr. Schmitt on the famous abolitionist, John Brown. Of course, there are other examples from various sources to help with clarity.

  5. Lyrics Format: Most songs contain multiple verses (2-3) and a chorus (refrain, that is repeated throughout the song) Story telling: Most songs tell a story about the following: A person, a significant event, a emotion/feeling. These are just a few examples. Rhyme scheme: Some songs are written so the end of word of each line rhymes. Lyricists also play with rhyme and use selected patterns. Lastly, the rhymes aren’t always perfect rhymes. Sometimes lyricists and songwriters use slant rhyme (aka imperfect rhyme). Songs

Glory, halle—hallelujah! his soul's marching on! He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord! (3X) His soul's marching on! (Chorus) John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back! (3X) His soul's marching on! (Chorus) His pet lambs will meet him on the way; (3X) They go marching on! (Chorus) They will hang Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree! (3X) As they march along! (Chorus) Now, three rousing cheers for the Union; (3X) As we are marching on! Songs cont.
