(Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2016, vol.22, n.2, pp.407-427. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/DOI-10.5752/P.1678-9523.2016V22N2P407.

When it comes to the stages of a romantic relationship, the breakup moment is one of the most difficult for people to experience, and is often expressed through musical compositions, which talk about feelings related to this rupture. Among the musical rhythms that talk about this theme one particularly stands out the Country & Western , whose lyrics elucidate, especially, love relationships and uncommitted short-lived. Therefore, the research of social representations disseminated through these lyrics is relevant to social understand about loving relationship breakups. The aim of this study was to investigate the social representations of romantic relationship breakups present in songs of the musical style called Country & Western. For this study, 211 lyrics were analyzed, submitted to lexical analysis in the ALCESTE software. The results and analysis demonstrate varied feelings and behaviors derived from this breakup, owing to the different stages of the suffering, experienced either by both, the one who terminated the relationship and who was abandoned, bringing elements ranging from pain, suffering, uncertainty and disappointment to resignation, happiness and satisfaction with the relationship which was terminated
