In music, dynamics normally refers to the volume of a sound or note, but can also refer to every aspect of the execution of a given piece, either stylistic (staccato, legato etc.) or functional (velocity). The term is also applied to the written or printed musical notation used to indicate dynamics. Dynamics are relative and do not indicate specific volume levels.
The two basic dynamic indications in music are:
More subtle degrees of loudness or softness are indicated by:
Beyond f and p, there are also
To indicate an even softer dynamic than pianissimo, ppp is marked, with the reading pianissimo possibile ("softest possible"). The same is done on the loud side of the scale, with ƒƒƒ being fortissimo possibile ("loudest possible").
(Verse)
It's always something small in the beginning
Just the careless words and without thinking
That makes the chain react and there's no taking back (oh oh oh oh)
(Verse)
Soon the drawing starts and make it so colts
To tell you random thing that really hurts most
Too stubborn to stand down, too proud to turn around
(Chorus)
Caught in a crescendo, crescendo, crescendo
You know that I love to let go, to let go, to let go
‘Cause I'm the only one you can trust, you can trust, you can trust
I can tell you more (oh oh oh oh)
(Verse)
You look me in the eye, I keep on staring
Straight ahead like I'm not even caring
But we both this game is all a masquerade (oh oh oh oh)
(Verse)
And then later on, no one could grab it
We've got the moment still, we can't forget it
Before we know it's stuck turn that emotion down (oh oh oh oh)
(Chorus)
Caught in a crescendo, crescendo, crescendo
You know that I love to let go, to let go, to let go
‘Cause I'm the only one you can trust, you can trust, you can trust
I can tell you more (oh oh oh oh)
(Verse)
Can we stop and talk it over?
Instead of talking go with our songs
Can we stop and talk it over over over over?
(Bridge x2)
We keep getting louder
We keep getting louder
We keep getting louder
I can stand the noise
(Chorus x2)
Caught in a crescendo, crescendo, crescendo
You know that I love to let go, to let go, to let go
‘Cause I'm the only one you can trust, you can trust, you can trust
I can tell you more (oh oh oh oh)
(Verse)
Can we stop and talk it over?
Instead of talking go with our songs
