In music, the introduction is a passage or section which opens a movement or a separate piece, preceding the theme or lyrics. In popular music, this is often known as the song intro or just the intro. The introduction establishes melodic, harmonic or rhythmic material related to the main body of a piece.

Go here for an album that is packed with songs that have awesome introductions. Songs #4, #7, and #11 are the only songs of the twelve that do not have one.

God bless you always!!!

I don't see that those songs have a musical introduction.

In music, the introduction is a passage or section which opens a movement or a separate piece, preceding the theme or lyrics. In popular music, this is often known as the song intro or just the intro. The introduction establishes melodic, harmonic or rhythmic material related to the main body of a piece.

Introductions may consist of an ostinato that is used in the following music, an important chord or progression that establishes the tonality and groove for the following music, or they may be important but disguised or out-of-context motivic or thematic material. As such, the introduction may be the first statement of primary or other important material, may be related to but different from the primary or other important material, or may bear little relation to any other material.

A common introduction to a rubato ballad is a dominant seventh chord with fermata, Play (help·info) an introduction that works for many songs is the last four or eight measures of the song, Play (help·info) while a common introduction to the twelve-bar blues is a single chorus. Play (help·info)

If a movement in sonata form starts with an introductory section, this introduction is not usually analyzed as being part of the movement's exposition.

I didn't know if it mattered whether or not the beginning was with music or talking. I love how them songs get started. If you want one that starts with good music, this is the first one that came to my mind.



God bless you and the legend always!!!

I always liked the outro of that song more than the intro. Very evocative of its final lyrics.
