AB - In popular music, love story is a common theme, but ballad is a unique genre in that it deals only with love stories among various popular genres of music. Particularly this paper pays attention to the aspect that the ballad, which completed in the 1980s a genre typology of love songs by mainly male narrators, lyrical melodies, brilliant harmonies and accompaniments, and dramatic climax, is fervently intensified by the late 1990s. The characteristics of this fervent ballad are as follows: first In terms of musical narrative, “lyric urgency” by Susan McClary becomes more sophisticated. Secondly, in the narrative aspect of the lyrics (and images), the grief, frustration, and pain of the masculine speaker are strengthened through death or deletion of the other. In this paper, the emotional urgency of this fervent ballad and its lyric urgency are described in the perplexing of the ideation of romantic love and its crisis on the one hand, establishment and identification of maleness on the other hand.
