A song is a composition made up of lyrics and music, with the intent of the lyrics being sung, for the purpose of producing a proportionate feeling or emotion in relation to a particular matter. Generally speaking, lyrics reference topics and melodies reference feelings (though a beautifully constructed lyric can reference feelings as much as any beautiful melody). A song which combines a feeling that, for one reason or another, is not worthy of or proportionate to the matter at hand is called a bad song.

We’ve all heard bad songs and many of us have written them. I use the phrases “worthy of” and “proportionate to” because it shaves off a bit of the idiosyncratic lens through which we often judge the goodness or badness of a song. Try singing the words to the hymn Amazing Grace to the tune of Happy Birthday To You. It’s ridiculous because it produces a feeling disproportionate to the truth that is being considered in that classic hymn. To contrast that, consider your favorite early Beatles song and how proportionate the feelings of young love are with the lyrics and melody at hand. A good song produces proportionate feelings relative to a given matter or experience.
