INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study Literature is a written works in pouring every expression and idea which have artistic value. Klarer says that literature is referred to as the entirety of written expression, with the restriction that not every written document can be categorized as literature in the more exact sense of word. Literary works consists some art of writing such as poems, novels, prose and dramas. Every writer have their own words to deliver their means in that literary works. According to Robert and Jacobs (2004:1) literature in board of sense is to mean composition that tell stories, dramatize situations, express emotions, analyze and advocate ideas. Song is related to poetry. Poetry is part of literary works which use beautiful words to express the idea. Poetry and song equally convey their emotions word by word. Wordsworth defined poetry as the “The spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility”. William Wordswoth also stated that poetry is the spontaneous overflow the powerful feelings; it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility; the emotion is contemplated till, by a species of reaction, the tranquility gradually disappears, and an emotion, kindred to that which was the subject of contemplation, is gradually produced, and does itself actually exist in the mind. 1 1 1 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Claire stated that many new words have been emerged and formed by teenagers. Moreover, when we are listening a song or music just pay attention to the lyrics. According to the Grolier, “Song is a short musical work set a poetic text with equal importance given to music and to the words”. It consist of imagery words in every lyrics. Imagery is the way you imagine what you can see, hear, feel smell, or taste of making arts and especially for making a poetry or song. Paramore is an American rock band from Franklin, Tennessee, formed in 2004. The band currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. Williams and Farro are founding members of the group, while York, a high school friend of the original lineup, joined in 2007. Williams is the only member to appear on all five of Paramore's studio albums and has been the only constant member of the band. The group released its debut album All We Know Is Falling in 2005, with the album reaching number four on the UK Rock Chart in 2009 and number thirty on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart in 2006. n 2002, at age 13, vocalist Hayley Williams moved from her hometown Meridian, Mississippi to Franklin, Tennessee, where she met brothers Josh Farro and Zac Farro at a weekly supplemental program for home-schooled students. Shortly after arriving, she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning. Prior to forming Paramore, Williams and bassist Jeremy Davis, 2 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA along with friend Kimee Read, took part in a funk cover band called The Factory, while Josh and Zac Farro had practiced together after school. The other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been "edgy about the whole female thing" of having Williams as vocalist, but, because they were good friends, she started writing for them. Williams said of the members when she first met them, "They were the first people I met who were as passionate about music as I was."The band was officially formed by Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Zac Farro (drums), Davis (bass guitar) and Williams (lead vocals) in 2004, with the later addition of Williams' neighbor Jason Bynum (rhythm guitar). When Davis showed up, he was stunned to find out the drummer was only twelve years old. He admitted "I had very, very, very, little faith in everyone in the band because of their age. I remember thinking, 'This is not going to work because this kid is way too young,' but that first day of practice was amazing. I knew we were on to something. According to Williams, the name "Paramore" came from the maiden name of the mother of one of their first bass players. Once the group learned the meaning of the homophone "paramour" ("secret lover"), they decided to adopt the name, using the Paramore spelling. This study focused on imagery which contained in several songs of All We Know Is Falling‟s Album by Paramore. All We Know Is Falling is the debut studio album by American rock band Paramore, released on July 26, 3 UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 2005 under the Atlantic-distributed Fueled by Ramen in the United States.
