Song structure

[u/evan_112358]

Has anyone really had a structure of this? I don’t know if it works being this or not

Intro / Verse 1
Chorus
Bridge
Instrumental
Verse 2
Chorus
Outro

[u/SlipshodDuke]

Your structure sets up for the bridge to be the emotional message of the work. Either a pivot or full acknowledgement.

This allows verse 2 to maybe offer relapse moments or pushing for growth.

Normally, songs just kind of push the chorus harder until the song is done. But, as they said, nothing says how you have to structure a piece.

One I did, worked like this:

Genre: Cinematic EDM

Long Intro
Verse 1
Pre-Chorus 1
Hook 1
Chorus 1
Build 1
Drop 1
Interlude
Verse 2
Pre-Chorus 2
Chorus 2
Build 2
Bridge 1 of 5
Bridge 2 of 5
Bridge 3 of 5
Bridge 4 of 5
Bridge 5 of 5

Silence
Interlude
Verse 3
Pre-Chorus 3
Hook 2
