General Music Chat

For me telling the story is verse.
Summing up the story and the moral of the story is chorus.
Bridge would be looking at the story from another angle or
a statement that emphasises the chorus.

You got it Klug.
That what thos sections are traditionally meant to do.

I've used 'em all. Even written a few songs with no pattern at all.

Working on one now that I just realized has no chorus, or bridge. Just three verses, instrumental and outro instrumental. If it works, it works. Screw the rules.

Yeah, it's called Folk music.

You guys need to realize that the patterns aren't 'rules', they're descriptions.
Kind of like how the symbol 1 represents a quantity or agreed upon concept of 'one'.
They symbol could just easily be ;

Really, there is no law or rule that 1 is one. It's a symbol or name used to describe an apparent reality.

Zip, you and I are on the same page.

Not always. You haven't heard 1/10th of my tunes, Klugmo, but you HAVE heard "Morons," & there's no lead, no bridge, & NO CHORUS in that song, just three verses, & the last ends with a slight change in chord structure.

Folk song

Well, yeah, I already do realize it Zip. I thought that's what I've been saying. RE: the song I mentioned, it's not folk. I'll be posting it sometime within the next month or so, and I highly doubt anyone would qualify it as folk. Blues, maybe, but not folk in the typical sense of the term. It's just rock, really.

Ah, but who cares? There just words. Call it whatever you want.

I'll qualify it as Folk.
