Re: What is a song?



In the celtic traditions that I mostly work in a song has lyrics, a tune is anything instrumental.

On dictionary.com it is defined as something to be sung or made for singing. But dont we call everything a song in todaay society? Even instrumentals? This question popped up because my mom was saying a song is made to have lyrics and I was arguing that a song is any musical piece only to find out her definition matched what the dictionary said which i never knew before.Whats your take on it?
