orchestration of a song? I'm not sure how to start an essay with this kind of question so could you please give me ways on how to talk about :

LYRICS:
-form/structure/rhyme scheme?
-topic?
-language (formal/informal, colloquialisms, slang?
-relationship to music?

SONGWRITING TECHNIQUES:
-form/structure?
-the dominant musical feature, the aspect of the song that gives it groove?

RHYTHM OR HARMONY AND ORCHESTRATION:
-instrumentation/arrangement?
-relationship to text?

I'm thinking of writing about Ben by Michael Jackson. If you could give examples that relates to this song I would really appreciate it.

Thanks guys!
