This is a song workshop, but please notice that this time the words of the song are crucial.  Your assignment is to find a song whose lyrics constitute a good poem about some emotion, but whose effect is enhanced or supported--i.e., not interfered with--by its musical setting. This song must be in English, and it should not be a setting of a pre-existing poem, that is, the lyrics of the song must have been written to be sung.  If a poet wrote a poem to be read and a composer later set it to music, that's not what we're looking for.  Bring the words of the song and a short (1/2 page) comment about (1) why these words are, in your view, a good poem about the emotion and (2) (briefly) what the music contributes.  Note that the poem can tell a story, or describe a mood or scene or problem, but it should not be primarily narrative or argumentative.  For instance, a song about love should make us share the speaker/singer's emotions, not just familiar with his/her story. Be sure to reflect on Kowit's chapter 23 before and while doing this assignment.
