The Cadence
Cadences are special kinds of progression which are used to signify that a piece, or section/phrase of a piece, has come to an end.

Cadences are Progressions that move in the opposite direction—they start away from the I chord and move towards the tonic: either approaching it, ending on it, or conspicuously avoiding it.

emphasize the title
convey the central lyrical emotion of the entire song
create songs with sections that flow smoothly into each other
