Business structur
The music industry is made up of various elements, including:
* [[Musician]]s
* [[Musical ensemble]]s
* [[Musicians' Union]]s
* [[Composer]]s and [[songwriter]]s
* [[Music publisher (popular music)|Publisher]]s
* Writers' [[copyright collective]]s and [[performance rights organization]] like [[American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers|ASCAP]] and [[Broadcast Music Incorporated|BMI]] (or [[Mechanical-Copyright Protection Society|MCPS]] and [[Performing Right Society|PRS]] respectively for the UK)
* [[Record producer]]s

* [[A&R]]
* [[Royalties]]

A [[record company]] is an entity that manages sound recording-related [[brand]]s and [[trademark]]s which consist of their owned labels; their owned and licensed master recordings; and various related ancillary businesses such as home video and DVDs.
Labels may comprise a ''record group'' which is, in turn, controlled by a music group. As such, a larger umbrella label may have a number of sub-labels releasing music.
Music publishers exist separately (even if sharing the same ultimate holding company or brand name), and they represent the rights in the compositions - i.e. the music as written rather than as recorded.
Record companies and record labels that are not under the control of the Big Four music groups and music publishers that are not one of the Big Four are generally considered to be ''independent'', even if they are part of large corporations with complex structures. Some prefer to use the term ''indie label'' to refer to only those independent labels that adhere to criteria of corporate structure and size, and some consider an indie label to be almost any label that releases non-mainstream music, regardless of its corporate structure.

ANGRA LYRICS
Rebirth
Cooling breeze from a summer day
Hearing echoes from your heart
Learning how to recompose the words
Let time just fly
Joyfull sea-gulls roaming on the shore
Not a single note would sound
Raise my head after I dry my face
Let time just fly
Recalling, retreating
Returning, retreaving
A small talk your missing
More clever but older now
A leader, a learner
A lawful beginer
A lodger of lunacy
So lucid in a jungle
A helper, a sinner
A scarecroow's agonyzing smile
Oh! Minutes go round and round
Inside my head
Oh! My chest will now explode
Falling into pieces
Rain breaks on the ground-blood!
One minute forever
A sinner regreting
My vulgar misery ends
(And I) ride the winds of a brand new day
High where mountain's stand
Found my hope and pride again
Rebirth of a man
Time to fly...
