Abstract
In this article a song, or more specifically, a song-and-poetry text, is presented as a literary musical piece of art displaying a number of distinctive text features. The authors define criteria for distinguishing various text manifestations. As the criteria of the text as a verbal speech product, the authors consider such main features of the text as its semiotic, structural, semantic, functional and communicative characteristics. Song-and-poetry texts of various genres, such as “rock” and “pop” are discussed in the article. They are analyzed in accord with the main features of the text. In the process of analysis, both general and distinctive features of texts of contrasting genres are revealed. By analyzing the samples of the texts belonging to rock and pop, the authors claim that while determining the text type or genre, one criterion is not enough, owing to the versatility of a text. The authors conclude that it is the combination of features of song-and-poetry texts revealed in the analysis of the aspects considered in the article that can serve the instrument for differentiating between song-and-poetry texts of various genres.

Это чувство скорее настораживает героя (But I feel like a storm is coming), чем вдохновляет или терзает, как это было в песенно-поэтическом тексте “Do I wanna know”
I’m prepared for this I never shoot to miss But I feel like a storm is coming If I’m gonna make it through the day there’s no more use in running This is something I gotta face Пред-припев: If I risk it all Could you break my fall? Припев: How do I live? How do I breathe? When you’re not here I’m suffocating I want to feel love, run through my blood Tell me is this where I give it all up? For you I have to risk it all
