Once you have completed research into who a typical member of your artist's target audience would be you need to complete a lyric analysis of your chosen song.
Find a copy of the lyrics and other copy and paste these into Word or Powerpoint.
Read through the lyrics carefully and think about their meaning, tone, etc.
Make comments around the lyrics.
Your comments should be a mixture of observation, interpretation and questions.
Think about how a mood is created in the song - a good way to do this is to make a list of all of the adjectives and verbs in the song and think about what type of picture they help to paint.
Once you have done this, create a post title:
Research : Lyric Analysis Artist Name 'song'
In this post, provide an explanation of what you have done together with screen shots of your Word or Powerpoint document.
You could also use a website such as Word It Out to create a word cloud for your song's lyrics. This could then be added to your post as further evidence of your efforts for the examiner.
Copy your lyrics into Word It Out and it will create a word cloud which alters the size of the words according to their frequency in the song. This can help to show where repetition takes place.
Here is an example for the Frank Hamilton song, 'Summer'.
