| Aug 22, 2014 at 14:08 | comment | added | Panzercrisis | I added a comment about this a few days ago, and somebody removed it without a reason. Generally the word "show" works just fine, although "play" is slightly fancier and more cultured. "Show" also has a slightly different meaning, a meaning which is closer to that of "to present" than literally "to play". A common example might be, "Hey, man, let me show you this song I've been working on." This would generally involve playing the song, although it could, for instance, involve showing a set of sheet music instead. | |

| Aug 20, 2014 at 1:41 | comment | added | Mazura | 'għalik' means 'for you'. Then, insemmgħek translates into "mention for you" | |

| Aug 19, 2014 at 9:22 | comment | added | Lilienthal | I think "showing someone a song" can work but might feel slightly informal: "Jack showed me this amazing song last night." According to fredsbends' answer this usage is likely only for introducing someone to a song. | |

| Aug 17, 2014 at 8:30 | comment | added | Fattie | It occurs to me the "actual answer" here in real life, when "play" does not really work, is probably "let them listen to ...". So you might say "Where's my sister, I must let her listen to this song..." | |

| Aug 16, 2014 at 13:55 | comment | added | Fattie | This is a tricky one. In the music business you'd say "I'll let you hear this new track..." Note that you could "show" a song, meaning, the sheet music. And note that indeed you COULD say "here, I'll show you how the song goes..." and then play it on piano. | |
