| Lyric)
are a set of words that accompany
music, either by speaking or
singing. The word 'lyric' derives
from the Greek word "lyrikos",
meaning "singing to the lyre".[1]
Lyrics are amazing... they speak of
generations of wisdom put to music.
The rhythm of the entire globe...
written out like poetry. The word
lyric came to be used for the
"words of a popular song"; this
meaning was recorded in 1829. The
common plural predominates
contemporary usage. Use of the
singular form 'lyric' remains
acceptable, yet is considered
erroneous in referring to a singular
song word as a 'lyric' |
