1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the study

Moral Value is something high, valuable, important and useful for human.

Moral Value is a belief or feeling that is believed to be an identity which gives a special pattern to a way of thinking, feeling, attachment and behavior. The Moral

Value is closely related to the way people assess. Values and literature are complementary and are inseparable. Literary works were born and sourced from human life and have a high value. Literature will be a contribution to the formation of values so that lovers of literature will be civilized, well-mannered, and virtuous men, and agreeing with the applicable rules. The values in the literature usually reflect the views of the author‘s life or values that are attractive to the author and are necessary to convey to the readers.

Moral value does not stand-alone without other value. Moral values did not separate with other values. Moral values are nothing without other values. It is form of formality. Max Scheler mentioned in Bertens that moral values “get a lift” to other values.

Moral is something to be conveyed by the author to the reader, where the meaning contained in a literature work and the suggested meaning is conveyed through stories. That means the authors express a moral message to the readers through literary works, either directly or indirectly. Moral in literature usually

According to (PaulEdwards: 1967: 150) a morality contains: (1) beliefs about the nature of the man, (2) belief aboutideals, about what is goodor desirable category. In other value for example, if badminton player want to bechampion, he/she must try hard. It’s a must to be champion, but there is a limitation.

Generally, every writer has plenty of imagination stated in the lyrics. The message containsmany ideas, such as social, satire, motivation, education, till a romantic. Literature is also one of media to show some of the meaning, one of them is moral value that presented by author. By the songs the author tries to teach and deliver good moral for the people. People have to improve and maintain their good moral. Morality is common word to say, but it is very difficult to imply in human’s daily life. Morality is something that must be owned by human because without morality human will not br respected by other people. It will be easy for people to socialize with other and they will be accepted in the community. Moral values can not only be obtained by discussion in formal situation or books, but also people can use songs to deliverthe moral message of the songs.

Dance We Steal Things ". " which consists of 10 songs. The technique used in data collection is documentary analysis techniques. The technique used to analyze the data is by taking a number of steps, including (1) reading and listening to 5

2.THE RIVEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1. Definitions of Moral Value

Value is something high, valuable, important and useful for human. Value is a belief or feeling that is believed to be an identity which gives a special pattern to a way of thinking, feeling, attachment and behavior. The value is closely related to the way people assess. Assessing means to consider human activities that connect something to something else, which is further to take a decision. This assessment is linked with elements in humans such as physical,creativity, initiative, sense and conviction. Values and literature are complementary and are inseparable. Literary works were born and sourced from human life and have a high value. Literature wilal be a contribution to the formation of values so that lovers of literature will be civilized, well-mannered, and virtuous men, and agreeing with the applicable rules. The values in the literature usually reflect the views of the author‘s life or values that are attractive to the author and are necessary to convey to the readers.

Goode (1977:4) has stated that values are: “The standards that people share. These standards are used to judge whether something is good or bad, beautiful or ugly, right or wrong, moral or immoral. Values are typically supported by specific norms, thats is more detailed directions for proper behavior.

Norms are the more specific rules or definitions of how we are supposed to act in a given situation”. Either men and women have some sense of values. For better or worse, to form some scale of values, life forces us to make choices.

The terms “Value” and “Valuation” are used in our contemporary culture, not only in economics and philosophy but also (and especially) in other social sciences and humanities. Their meaning was once relatively clear and limited.

Value meant the worth of a thing, and valuation meant an estimate of its worth.

The uses of value and valuation are various and conflicting even amongphilosophers, but they may perhaps be sorted out as follows (Paul Edwards:

1967: 229-230): a. Value (in the singular) is sometimes used as an abstract noun in a narrower sense to cover only that to which such terms as good, desirable, or worthwhile are properly applied and in a wider sense to cover, in addition, all kinds of rightness, obligation, virtue, beauty, truth, and holiness. Value is also used like temperature to cover the whole range of a scale plus, minus, or indifferent; what is on the plus side is then called positive value and what is on the minus side, negative value.

Value is also used like temperature to cover the whole range of a scale plus, minus, or indifferent; what is on the plus side is then called positive value and what is on the minus side, negative value.

b. “Value” refers to what is valued, judged to have value, thought to be good, or desired. Such phrases are also used to refer to what people think is right or obligatory and even to whatever they believe to be true. Behind this widespread usage lies the covert assumption that nothing really has objective value, that value means being valued and good means being though good. But the term value is also used to mean.

c. Dewey always distinguishes two senses of value, it means either to prize, like, esteem, cherish, or hold dear. Or to apprize, estimates, evaluates, or valuate.

Moral value is value that can’t be separated with other values. Bertens

2. Moral value is related with pure heart

All values need to make it real. Because it has persuasive power, it should be practice. For example, aesthetic value, it should be practiced, play music composition or others. After that the result of it, painting want to be showed, and music want to be listened. To make moral value to be real, it can be appealed from pure heart. One of special characteristics of moral values is this value will effect voice of pure heart to accuse us if oppose moral value and praise us if make moral value.

For example, honesty orders us to return thing that borrowed, like or not, because moral value contains an imperative category. In other value for example, if badminton player want to bechampion, he/she must try hard. It’s a must to be champion, but there is a limitation.

4. Formality

Moral value is not stand-alone without other value. Moral values did not

separate with other values. Moral values are nothing without other values. It is

lift” to other values.

3.1.1.Im Yours

Well, you done done me, and you bet I felt it I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted I fell right through the cracks Now I'm trying to get back Before the cool-done run out, I'll be giving it my best-est And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm yours Well, open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and, damn, you're free Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing We're just one big family And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved

17 17 Universitas Sumatera Utara

So I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm sure There's no need to complicate, our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours Doo ch doo doo doo joo Ba doo ja doo ja doo doo ba Do you want to come on a scooch on over closer, dear? And I will nibble your ear A soon da ba ba boom ba baum Whoa, whoa I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer But my breath fogged up the glass And so I drew a new face and I laughed I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons It's what we aim to do Our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm yours Well, open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and, damn, you're free Look into your heart, and you'll find that the sky is yours So please don't, please don't, please don't There's no need to complicate 'Cause our time is short This, oh, this, oh, this is our fate I'm yours

18 Universitas Sumatera Utara

The first describe is “Im Yours”. This song tell about reminding a woman of how special she is, expressing unconditional love, commitment and sincerity. This song is also about how beautiful the world is if there is love in our life. We can not life alone. We need someone who can accept our bad habits and ready to solve every problems together and from here we could learn that we don’t need to create our own “characteristic goal” to love someone else. We can notchanges someone to achieve our typical of person, even on pysichal or personality. Because if we are fall in love with someone wholeheartedly an sincerely. But, it doesn’t mean we let their bad habits involve with them as she or him is growing older by the time. This song also teach us boy supposed to treat girls right. No matter what happened , his heart just gonna stand right their previous place. No moving and changing.

3.1.2 Lucky

Do you hear me,

I'm talking to you

Across the water across the deep blue ocean

Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams

I feel your whisper across the sea

I keep you with me in my heart

You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

19 Universitas Sumatera Utara

They don't know how long it takes

Waiting for a love like this

Every time we say goodbye

I wish we had one more kiss

I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

Lucky we're in love every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea

To an island where we'll meet

You'll hear the music fill the air

I'll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees

Move so pretty you're all I see

As the world keeps spinning round

You hold me right here right now

20 Universitas Sumatera Utara

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

I'm lucky we're in love every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home someday

The moral value of this song is we shouldn't confine ourselves to the outside world, we have to move on from our loneliness and open our heart by letting someone new to enter our life When you still have any doubts, trust me there might be someone out there who could bring you a beautiful flower, call you for all hours just to ask about your favorite food and put all of their effort in order to fill our day by their love. thing we have to believe is one day there will be someone who is able to understand you and hold your hands. Sometimes, life could be so hard for us to face it alone. And sometimes, the things that could make it even worse is we are still hold on to our past. Still stuck on our previous toxic love. Let's start by leave something that no longer exist in our life. I guess every meeting is part of god plan. Let's add an extra positive vibes in our life.

More and more everyday. We would never know with who we are in the future.

But it doesn't mean we let ourselves drown on something or allowed some memories haunting your days that might cause you alot of paint. Every brand new day means every new opportunity. New chance to have a happier life Whether it's about family, love, friends, your work partner, or other probiems. You may not

21 Universitas Sumatera Utara

ground yourself by build huge wall for you to not socialize with others.

Remember it is just one of your bad day. Not a bad life. We should stop watering a dead flowers right? Like when it is gone, then leave. When things didn't run well, then just take a lesson from it. We don't have to make a complicated things changed into something more complicated. Sometimes things might not run like what we have expected. But unexpected things may come to our life, if you believe that. Take a deep breath, inhale a fresh air, think all about positive things and believed that you are so much worth more than this. You don't deserved all this bad things that cause you to this loneliness, insecurities, feeling that you would never enough, or an anxiety that you'll never know where should it stop.

Out there, there is one person who is able to bring you ot of these bad dreams. The one who could change situation much better. The one who loves you unconditionally. The one that might waiting for you for so long to speak up. But you are not ready yet to face this world because of those feelings, insecurities.

You are not believed in yourself, you are not ready yet, you are still lean on to those huge wall. Thinking about all those bad things that happened and ruin your life. Not knowing there are still a lot of reason for you to be happy. "Do I acceptable in this beautiful world?" keep haunting your mind. Not knowing there is someone who keep asking "do I qualify to make you happy?" sometimes we worried a lot about what happened to our bad days until forgot about another brighter days.

I keep my life on a heavy rotation Requesting that it's lifting you up Up up and away And over to a table at the Gratitude Café

And I am finally there And all the angels they'll be singing Ah la la la ah la la la I la la la la love you

I don't wanna break before The tour is over I'm gonna make it mine Yes i...I'll own it I'm gonna make it mine Yes I'll make it all mine

And timing's everything And this time there's plenty I am balancing Careful and steady And reveling in energy that everyone's emitting

I don't wanna wait no more No I wanna celebrate the whole world I'm gonna make it mine Because I'm following your joy I'm gonna make it mine Because I... I am open I'm gonna make it mine that's why I will show it I'm gonna make it all mine It's mine... Yes I will make it all mine

The first describe is “I wont give up:.This song tells about someone who really admires his partner and think that his partner destined for him. He tried to convince his partner that he would give all his love for continuing to maintain relationship. No matter how tought gets, he will still fight his hardest to be with her.

3.2 Love and Affection

3.2.1 Living in the moment

“Living in the moment” is a song by American singer-songwriter Jason

Mraz. It was released as the third official single from his fourth studio album, Love Is a Four Letter Word (2012), on February 4, 2013. It was written by

Mraz and David Hodges, and produced by Joe Chiccarelli. As in the describe of song lyrics below:

I will not waste my days

Making up all kinds of ways

To worry about some things

That will not happen to me

So I just let go of what I know I don't know

And I know I'll only do this by

Living in the moment

Living my life

Easy and breezy

With peace in my mind

25 Universitas Sumatera Utara

With peace in my heart

Peace in my soul

Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I'm Living in the moment

The song tells about Living in te moment. Which had the meaning like this: living in the moment requies no guilt, regret, doubt, or anxiety. Living In the moment means letting go of the past and enjoy your live today with fun. Act in the moment, living in the moment. Slowly don’t allow the past to interfere and you will. So, promise your self to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peach of mind, heart and soul. Because, nothing can bring you peace but your self. From discussion above that living in the moment should not be a phrase that’s thrown around lightly. People who are experiencing immense stress and emotions should be allowed to not live in the moment. They should even be encouraged to plan for the future. The reasoning behind this is simple. To relieve themselves of whatever is pressuring them, people need to plan so that their future selves will be in a better situation. Only then will they have the ability to live in the moment.

So we have learned to relax when we can. we’ve learned to enjoy where we are and how far we’ve come. We’ve learned to diminish but still retain my habit of introspection. We’ve come to better appreciate the relationships and friends that we have. We’ve begun appreciating the present, for too much planning can lead to an uninspiring life.

3.2.2 Love for A Child

There's a picture on my kitchen wall Looks like Jesus and His friends involved There's a party getting started in the yard And there's a couple getting steamy in the car, parked in the drive

Was I too young to see this with my eyes? And by the pool that night, apparently The chemicals weren't mixed properly You hit your head and then forgot your name

Then you woke up at the bottom by the drain And now your altitude and memory's a shame What about taking this empty cup and filling it up With a little bit more of innocence, I haven't had enough

It's probably because when you're young It's okay to be easily ignored I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child When the house was left in shambles Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass

Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around? Well, I'm far too old to care about that now What about taking this empty cup and filling it up With a little bit more of innocence, I haven't had enough It's probably because when you're young It's okay to be easily ignored I'd like to believe it was all about love for a child It's kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce

27 Universitas Sumatera Utara

I've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age And they never checked to see my grades What a fool I'd be to start complaining now

This is song about “home”. Because home is the heart is. No matter where you are and no matter where you are in the planet, you are never alone. You can always come back home. 93 milion miles you keep going. You are never alone, you can come back home. No matter what “home” means to you. There is surely something nostalgic about place we call “home”. Home is where love resides, memories are created, and laughter never ends. The magic thing about home is that it feel good to leave and it feels even better to come back. We create a place where we can have peace of mind. That is the meaning home for us. Peach of mind

APPENDICES

Jason mraz Biography

California-based singer/songwriter Jason Mraz makes laid-back, melodic pop with stylistic nods toward folk, jam band music, hip-hop, and soft rock. Since coming to the public's attention with his 2002 hit single "The Remedy (Don't

Worry)", Mraz has proven himself to be a reliable pop craftsman whose crowd- pleasing melodies can encompass both cheeky humor and earnest sincerity.

Born in Mechanicsville, Virginia, in 1977, Mraz grew up amidst the sounds of the Dave Matthews Bandand local roots musicians the Agents of Good

Roots. However, it was Mraz's interest and participation in musical theater that served as his first introduction to music. Following high school, he moved to New

32 Universitas Sumatera Utara

York to attend the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, but dropped out a year later whenhe took up the guitar and began to focus on songwriting.

Nonetheless, Mraz's training as a vocalist would later show itself on his debut album, which was marked by the pure clarity of his tenor range.After busking around New York, Mraz eventually returned to Virginia; in 1999, however, he made his way out West and settled in San Diego, California, having been drawn to the city's coffeehouse scene and its historical support of singer/songwriters, most notably Jewel. Mraz began playing shows and soon landed a weekly residency at the local hot spot Java Joe's, which had previously played host to Jewel during the early stages of her career. He also formed a duo with drummer Noel "Toca" Rivera, who accompanied Mraz's acoustic material by playing the djembe. Together, the musicians honed a live show that featured as much comedic banter as actual music.

In 2010, Mraz spent some time in London, England, where he worked on songs for his new album with the producer Martin Terefeand wrote with the

British singer-songwriter, Dido. In August 2010, Mraz had a Q&A interview with Spin magazine in which he said that possible titles for his fourth album were Peace Canoe or The Love Album.

On December 8, 2011, Mraz told Jeff Benjamin of Billboard that the

"album is finished" except for one track he was attempting to re-work as an acoustic version. Describing the album, he said, "It's not a departure in the sound of the genre in any way, it's just different tones, different textures. Musically, I

think people are going to like it. It's personal. It's melodic. And it's mellow.

There's a couple of up-tempo tunes, but mostly the rhythm of the heartbeat kind of takes precedence on this record. Medium-tempo tunes; which I love. It feels more like the pace of life. At least, based on my life and what I've been doing.

On January 20, 2012, during a performance streamed live from the Bing Bar at the

Sundance Film Festival, Mraz told the audience that the album's title was Love.
