A song is a musically constructed articulation of the human soul’s experience. Songs can be sung by anyone with a voice and can convey emotions, moods, thoughts, ideas and desires to anyone who will listen. A song can also be a conduit between the conscious and subconscious eliciting changes in behavior, new thoughts, feelings, desires and even identity.

A song can be a beautiful and meaningful romantic love song or an elaborate composition with a flowing accompaniment. Art songs have an extensive literary history dating back to the troubadours and bards of medieval Europe but also extend to the lutenists of the Renaissance and later the Elizabethan court composers. Art songs often feature complicated and sophisticated accompaniments that serve to underpin, accentuate, illustrate or provide contrast to the vocal melody of a song.

An outro, sometimes called a coda is the final part of a song that can be as simple as repeating the chorus or as complex as an instrumental break. The outro is usually shorter than the pre-chorus and can help create tension, anticipation or space in a song.

Articles should only be created for songs that merit a separate article because of their significant presence in popular culture (such as a top-ranked chart hit, a prominent album or a recognizable artist). A song should only be categorized by a characteristic if reliable secondary sources commonly and consistently define it as having that characteristic. Stub articles about songs that are not notable should be merged with an existing article about the artist or their album.

We’ve all fallen in love — with our first teddy bear or truck, with a celebrity crush, with our best friend who never judges you, and of course with our significant other. While a lot of people think that love is only about romantic relationships, true, wholehearted love is so much more than that. It’s about trusting that the person you love has your best interest at heart (even when they make mistakes) and that they want to be there for you, just as you do for them.

Psychologists and researchers have spent decades trying to understand what exactly makes your heart go pitter-patter and why you fall in love. However, the truth is that it’s impossible to define in one way or another because it varies from person to person and relationship to relationship.

In general, when you are attracted to someone, it’s because of a jumble of chemicals in the brain that make your cheeks flush and your palms sweaty. These include dopamine, adrenaline, and norepinephrine. Then when you begin to feel attached and close, your brain releases oxytocin (a hormone that promotes bonding).

But even within these basic parameters, there is still disagreement about what love actually means. Some experts argue that it’s not an emotion in the sense that we typically understand it, and instead is a physiological drive similar to hunger, thirst, sleep, and sex. Others disagree, claiming that it’s a complex combination of both altruistic and narcissistic emotions.
