The images of being responsible for their families are found in 4 songs. The last image of females with a sense of moral and ethics showed in 3 songs. Most of the songs had more content reflected on mood or needs in imagination than the realistic of society. Some songs is the discourse in persuading the listeners to love and be proud of community, honor culture, and attract the other people in different places for the benefits of tourism. Some songs are the emotional response to the music, especially some emotion which could not show in the real world such as love confessions, lament or even the fierce emotion such as curses, abuse with rude words. The overall content of the songs repeated the traditional female images knowing in the society as being sweet with beautiful words. However, the content also create the new images such as assertiveness in the public places through opened thoughts and feelings.
