Only you know what you consider to be a song.

For me, it has to provoke an emotion, tell a story.

Now, there is a linguistic angle to this - if we allow a song to mean different things to different people then you can argue that no one knows what they are talking about when they talk about songs to each other (see the normally coherent feelingblue's worst band thread). The classic example of this is the quality of being a table - something's tableness, or tability - a surface with four legs makes a table, but if someone puts a cardboard box on four blocks of wood and says 'there is a table for you' you should reply 'mate, you are having a laugh'. We instinctively recognise what a table is, even if it only has three legs...

So when we used to sing the single word 'Ipswich' repeatedly to the tune of Amazing Grace did that qualify as song? Hardly poetry but, compared to the current attempts at Portman Road, definitely music. And, IMO, more inspiring than Ed Sheeran...or George Shearing...or somewhere in Essex.

For me, a song is the musical phrases uttered by some birds, whales, and insects, typically forming a recognisable and repeated sequence and used chiefly for territorial defence or for attracting mates.

A song, Is a group of words cleverly placed together to make you laugh, to make you cry, To remember good and bad times, to help you along that road called life, to enjoy with family and friends, to listen on you own and drift to a far away place. Unfortunately today's music doesn't do any of that.

Compare Ed, the other one, with someone like Tom McRae.
