Research Into The Genre Of The Song I Am Using

The genre of the song I am going to use is singer/songwriter. This means that the artist writes and performs their own music generally accompanied by playing the guitar or piano. Their main concern is to place more emphasis on the song rather than the performance of it. Their songs are also used for political purpose as they focus more on what is being said in the song lyrics. Examples of singer/songwriter artists are Bob Dylan whos song "Blowin' in the Wind" which questioned social and political affairs at the time it was written (1961). 
"Yes, how many ears must one man have 
Before he can hear people cry ? 
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows 
That too many people have died ? " 

It has been described as a protest song as it uses lot of rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom. 

Another example of an artist from this genre would be Gabrielle Aplin who's songs are more romance based but the lyrics still have meaning behind them. She puts more focus on the song and plays her own instruments to create the song which puts her into the singer/songwriter genre even if her songs don't have a more powerful/political meaning for example. 

The song I am using is more like those of Gabrielle Aplin as the lyrics are more romance based therefore it will fit into this part of the market in the singer/songwriter genre.
