Can Sphinx be configured to give more weight to certain fields?

Hey, so I'm wondering if it's possible for Sphinx to weight certain fields of document over others in its results. For example, if I did a search for the rock show, is it possible to configure sphinx to give much higher precedence to a song named the rock show over a song which has the rock show in its lyrics?
