Not a loud song, but it's dramatic (4)
I believe the answer is:
play
'dramatic' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'not a loud song but' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ply' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'it's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for play that I've seen before include "Uncle's premises" , "Make sport" , "See 17" , "Scope - entertainment" , "Drama - latitude - sport" .)
