Copyright is a bundle of legal rights which artists own in relation to their creative work. Copyright gives the artist rights to control how other people can use their creative work. The copyright owner can control who can copy their work and how it can be used. The copyright owner can permit or refuse permission to other people who want to do these things.
Copyright exists immediately. You do not need to register to get copyright. Does copyright protect music? Copyright only protects certain kinds of creations called 'works' and 'other subject matter'. For information about how copyright protects other things like art and film, see the Artist in the Black information sheet on Copyrigh t. Works protected by copyright include song lyrics and music. Music might be a composition for an orchestra, rap music or music for a traditional instrument like a yidaki or didgeridu.
Other subject matter protected by copyright includes sound recordings. It might be a sound recording of a live performance or one made in a recording studio. Copyright only protects music and lyrics which if they have been written down or recorded somehow. It does not protect ideas or styles. For example, it does not protect particular ways of making music such as using clapping sticks.
Copyright does not prevent another band from copying your 'sound' as long as they do not copy your music or lyrics. If someone wants to perform your songs or record them, they are using your copyright and need your permission. You can give them a licence to perform or record your music. If you register your songs with APRA, it will help collect royalties from people who play your music. Copyright doesn't usually protect traditional Indigenous music or lyrics.
For example, copyright would not protect a song which had been passed down through many generations of a particular language group. More recently, the Music Modernization Act passed in October in an attempt to enforce royalty rates and payments in the age of streaming, but there is still a huge gap when it comes to addressing the new ways in which music listeners interact with and share songs and lyrics currently. Add in the lack of resources and technology available to actually go after all cases of infringements in terms of lyric republishing, and it means that songwriters and publishers will always be one step behind from being fully compensated for their work.

Locating the dreamy underside of suburban ennui was perhaps the crowning achievement of Arcade Fire and their finest album, The Suburbs. Many artists have tried to speak to the asphyxiating conformity of life amid the manicured lawns and two-cars-in-the-drive purgatory of life in the sticks. But Arcade Fire articulated the frustrations and sense of something better just over the horizon that will be instantly familiar to anyone who grew up far away from the bright lights.
The lyrics reclaim the power in her identity as a black woman from the deep south and have her bragging about her wealth and refusing to forget her roots.
In a society that still judges women for boasting about their success, Beyonce owns it, and makes a point of asserting her power, including over men. Haunted folkie Marling was 16 when she wrote her break-out ballad — a divination of teenage heartache with a streak of flinty maturity that punches the listener in the gut. One of the best songs ever written about ageing and being forced to make peace with the person you are becoming.
Coming out of his experiences as a too-cool-for-school DJ in New York, the song functions perfectly well as a satire of Nathan Barley-type trendies. All of that — the poetry, the poise, the repressed sob — comes together most perfectly here, on this undying lament from his very first record.
As the lyrics attest, they ultimately passed like ships in a long, sad night. She died three months before Cohen, in July Shortly beforehand he wrote to her his final farewell — a coda to the ballad that had come to define her in the wider world.
Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road. Has a breakup dirge ever stung so bitterly as when The Libertines duo counted the ways in which each had betrayed the other? Few artists use surrealism as successfully as Kate Bush — or draw inspiration from such unusual places.
Yet they are delivered with a straight-from-the-pulpit ferocity from Cave as he lays out his feelings for a significant other opinions are divided whether it is directed to the mother of his eldest son Luke, Viviane Carneiro, or to PJ Harvey, with whom he was briefly involved.
Andrew Eldritch is the great forgotten lyricist of his generation. Amid the choirs and the primordial guitars, what gives the nine-minute belter its real power are the lyrics — which may or may not allude to the not-at-all amicable departure from the Sisters of Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams.
As with Leonard Cohen you could spend the rest of your days debating the greatest Morrissey lyrics. But surely there has never been a more perfect collection of couplets than that contained in their opus. But the trademark Moz sardonic wit is elsewhere eclipsed by a blinding light of spiritual torment, resulting in a song that functions both as cosmic joke and howl into the abyss.
Written down, Springsteen lyrics can — stops to ensure reinforced steel helmet is strapped on — read like a fever-dream Bud Light commercial.
Thus the portents of the song do not require deep scrutiny, as lust and yearning are blended into one of the most combustible cocktails in mainstream rock. The result was a feverish delving into familial angst, framed by a prism of nightmarish hallucination. He was never more searing than on this early confessional — a rumination on his poverty-wracked childhood and the addictions that ripped like wildfire through his extended family in Compton and Chicago.
