Drone (music)
In music, a drone is a harmonic or monophonic effect or accompaniment where a note or chord is continuously sounded throughout most or all of a piece. The word drone is also used to refer to any part of a musical instrument that is just used to produce such an effect, as is the archaic term burden (bourdon or burdon) such as, "the drone [pipe] of a bagpipe," the pedal point in an organ, or the lowest course of a lute. Burden also refers to a part of a song that is repeated at the end of each stanza, such as the chorus or refrain.
The term comes from the French bourdon, a staff; or a pipe made in the form of a staff. "The drone does not take its name from the bee. It is a far older word," sharing an Indo-European root ("dhran, to drone, to hum") with the Sanskrit "dhran", the Greek "thren-os", and the English "thrum", "drum", and "dream".
Musical effect
"Of all harmonic devices, it [a drone] is not only the simplest, but probably also the most fertile."
A drone effect can be achieved through a sustained sound or through repetition of a note. It most often establishes a tonality upon which the rest of the piece is built. A drone can be instrumental, vocal or both. Drone (both instrumental and vocal) can be placed in different ranges of the polyphonic texture: in the lowest part, in the highest part, or in the middle. The drone is most often placed upon the tonic or dominant (play "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" with a drone on the 
tonic , on the dominant , or on both . Compare with changing chords .). A drone on the same pitch as a melodic note tends to both hide that note and to bring attention to it by increasing its importance.

Ohhhhhhhhh
There is no short cut to a dream
But I am not afraid I'll take it all the way
I'm gunna give more than it takes
Work harder than the rest till I'm the very best
Ohh you think youv'e got it all figured out
You think ur so damn cool what's that all about
But I've got mime just watch this space
And you just wait
Hold up a mirror you should see yourself
You think your so much better than everybody else
But I've got time just watch this space
And you just wait
There's something deep inside my heart
Burns with a thousands flies
So relentess my desire
I see a future shine so bright
Beyond the finish line
I'm gunna make it mine
Ohh you think youv'e got it all figured out
You think ur so damn special what's that all about
But I've got mime yh watch this space
And you just wait
Hold up a mirror you should see yourself
You think that you wont stumble like everybody else
But I got time just watch this space
And you just wait
You bring your best
I'll be one step ahead
Your tears will fall
You'll be falling instead
Ohhhh you just wait
I'm not afraid
And I'm not backing down
Shut up your eyes
And it's coming around
Ohhhh you just wait
