When a song comes on and you think you might have heard it before…wait for the chorus…then you’ll know for sure.
The chorus is what the song is known for. It’s what you’re suppose to remember and it’s what you DO remember.
If you get to the chorus and the song still doesn’t ring a bell, the second verse ain’t gonna help.
___
So if the chorus is the most memorable part, why not move the chorus to the verse and write a new chorus?…that way you’ll have double the key ingredients for being memorable.
Because with rare exception, once you put anything in the verse slot it can’t help but be in the shadow of the chorus slot.
And…the things that make a great verse are different than what makes a great chorus.
___
The chorus is what they’re going to remember.
The entire song is important but don’t get distracted by that.
Support the chorus.
