POINT OF REFERENCE is the way you choose to tell the song story
and message. It is very important to establish the song’s point of view
using a creative decision process that is based on the best way to impact the listener.
The choices depend on the song clarity and most effective way to deliver the information. It’s best to look at all the possibilities to create the most powerful emotional statement with all
the psychological principles in using visual imagery and figurative language There
are 3 primary points of reference in songs using first, second and third person. See
descriptions below:
First Person: relating a song in the first person (I, me, my, we, our)
Second Person: relating
a song in the second person (you)
Third Person: relating the song about something or someone else (he, him,
she, her, it they, them)
