The aim of this paper is to introduce just a few of the characteristics of popular music analysis that can assist further development of the discipline even for non-musicologists. After an introduction on why music analysis and popular music analysis – considering music as ‘humanly organized sound’ – are not popular in popular music studies and why contemporary popular music scholars tend to concentrate more on paramusical and extramusical issues, this presentation will concentrate on: song structures – or, as Philip Tagg calls it, the diataxis – comparing the structures most used by the Beatles; the sound of voices; the sound-box and the aural staging; the musical synecdoche. The final aim of this paper is to state the importance of music in music studies: paramusical and extramusical aspects are essential to understand how music works and communicates, but music is important as well.
