 Ballad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A ballad is a story in a song, usually a narrative song or poem.
Many modern written musical ballads are in the repertory of American folk music.
The regrets of love gone wrong provide the elements of the ballad called a 'torch song.' By extension, any popular song with a slow beat is termed a 'ballad.' In modern music, a song called a ballad is one which tells a story but may not follow any of the other conventions.
