When you use a song as a text is it best to also include the musical aspect aswell, like the mood established and all that jazz?

Because I have no idea what techniques I would say for the actual music.

If you have to could someone please post up some techniques.

Generally...

• If you're doing poems, don't do music.
• Clips are better than songs (visual to support the lyrical)

In terms of techniques/discussing the song:

• try to talk about pacing, emphasis provided by the music on the words
• supporting emotions behind a song are more important than with poetry - what do you feel? what did the author portray in this piece (what did they feel)?

The music is very important, which is why it is often best to find a different text, unless you are particularly good at music (read: HSC music or some form of formal understanding).

Sorry I can't be of much help.

dont talk about musical techniques, as music is not covered under the syllabus as a text.
better to talk about the music video as someone previously mentioned, talk about visual techniques as well as the song lyrics
