In the ancient and Jewish churches, 'songs' were prophesies about the Lord, especially His coming in the world, subjugation of evil spirits, and liberation of the faithful from their assaults. 'Heavenly songs' are voiced affections or affections expressed and modified by sounds. As thoughts are expressed by conversation, so affections are expressed by songs. From the balance and flow of the variations, angels perceive the object of the affection.
