In these two songs we've seen beautiful poetry. Some years before, people would have been writing poems to show their problems and to talk about life, love or hope. In our days songs can reach a bigger popularity than poems. So if you want to make a change and if you want to make the world a better place you'd better write a song. Like Birdy or P!nk. Even if you can't sing you can sing your songs and become famous nervertheless your voice is horrible. The best example therefor is Bob Dylan.
An other possibility is to rap your poems. This is another way if you can't sing.
Your song doesn't even has to rhyme! But you have to find a rhythm and a melody for your song. This melody is very useful to a song. It supports the meaning and even if you do not really understand the song you can guess if it's a happy or a sad one.
An english song by the way has a bigger chance to be famous all around the world than a german, french, or whatever-song. It's because english is the language that almost everyone in the world is able to speak and understand. And for the young generation, like us, english is much "cooler" than other languages. We use a lot of anglicisms.
Sometimes the young people are singing english songs in their religion lessons. The normal church songs use a pretty old german. It's often harder to understand for guys in our age than english songs!
