Historical ballads
Historical ballads are composed by amateurs and professional minstrels. They are sung to a musical accompaniment. They tell stories and legends, and are often a part of the oral tradition.
Ballads became popular in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Broadside ballads were designed to spread news and political commentary. In the 1700s, printing was available, making it possible to spread the lyrics of ballads.
During this time, Irish emigrants to Scotland were treated as strangers. They held on to the music and songs they had learned. However, their presence in Scottish society was never fully accepted.
As a result, they passed on the ballads they had learned in an oral tradition. These ballads tell the story of a hero, and they celebrate human resistance against industrial progress.

Mourning songs
Mourning songs are a perfect way to express your feelings when someone you love has died. Some songs can be a bit heavy handed but the lyrics can provide comfort to a grieving family. It’s important to choose a song that represents the relationship you have had with the person who has passed away. Here are a few songs you might want to consider.
The classic “Tears in Heaven” by Eric Clapton was written after his son’s death. The lyrics are so heart wrenching that many people view it as a testament to grief. However, the song didn’t have to be so somber.
“The Old Rugged Cross” by Jeremy Casella is an aptly named song. The lyrics are a reminder that even though we die, we have a guiding hand and that death is sad but not the end.
Answer songs
Answer songs are musical compositions that are written in response to another song. Typically, an answer song is a response to a prior song, presenting a different viewpoint, or reworking a plot point. They are a type of novelty music.
Answer songs first appeared in R&B and blues music in the 1930s, becoming more popular in the 1950s. In the 1960s, they became more common in Country & Western and rock ‘n’ roll.
There are many different types of answer songs. Generally, they are based around the same melody, with a change in tone or character. Most are not very accomplished or entertaining. But they are important because they can provide counterpoint to a hit song.
Answer songs usually feature a different vocalist. Sometimes, the vocalist responds to the original, but in other cases, the vocalist simply poses a question.
Diss tracks
Diss tracks are music written by artists in an effort to attack someone or some group. They can be aimed at specific individuals, or the entire music industry. In addition to being an outlet for verbal sparring, diss tracks can also be a great way to get the attention of fans.
Typically, these songs are composed in the form of corner block freestyles. The rapper will name-drop an opponent and then trash-talk them. However, this doesn’t have to be the case. Sometimes a rapper will simply mention the target on a low-key track.
One of the most famous diss tracks is ‘Ether’ by Nas. It was recorded in the year that Tupac Shakur died. ‘Ether’ is a good example of a diss song that still sounds great years after it was released.
