Abstract

“Original Roots of Language to Imagination and Interpretation in Popular Music” is a summary obtained from the study of “Composing Lyrics for Luk Krung Songs: Contemporary Country Music, Case Study of Mr. Supicha Thetdarun, Troup of Suthep Entertainment” in the academic year 2022. This study is part of the Bachelor of Arts curriculum, Performing Arts Major, Department of Thai Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts, Chiang Mai University. This article presents the original roots of language and their transition to imagination and interpretation in popular music.

The researcher employed a qualitative methodology, studying data from books, articles, academic papers, related research, online websites, and interviews with experts in lyric composition, including Mr. Supicha Thetdarun. The process involved collecting information about lyric composition and analyzing the use of language in music composition, which was then compiled into this article.

The study found that the use of language in writing lyrics serves not only to communicate clearly and convey the author's intended meaning but also requires the listener's discretion in appreciating the work. The composition content varies widely, ranging from simple to complex themes. Music plays an essential and integral role in composing songs, and when combined with the lyrics, it enhances the overall completeness of the music.
