all the small thigns part 5
hmm lets talk about form. all the smal lthigns takes on the following structure
intro riff
verse
pre-chorus
chorus
intro riff
short verse
pre-chorus
chorus
interlude
outro
what form is dat? hmmm... i really dunno how to define it. prolly A B C A B C D B
im putting the into and the verse as an A part together. the outro is actualyl an extension of the prechorus art, hence i put it as a B part. so what form is this? anyone?
the outro takes on the tune and lyrics of the pre chorus. dat in itself is very imaginative, as the outro has two lines which are repeated twice, butt the pre chorus is jiust a one liner. this sort of builds about a longing for the prechorus to be extended as it is cut short to just one line by the introduction of the chorus. so when the outro kciks in with the first line of the prechorus, played vigorously by the whole band, it sets off into a very niece setting for the song to end. i personalyl feel dat is a touch of brilliant compositional skills by the boys form blink.

Mirza,
Your structure description in terms of intro, verse, etc is more appropriate than the conventional use of alphabet letters. This is essentially a verse-chorus structure with intro, interludes and outro (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outro).
One detail you may be able to enlighten us here: according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_form), pre-chorus is also called bridge. In your case here, it seems more apt to call it a pre-chorus rather than what I understand to be a typical bridge, in your understanding, is there a distinction?
yeah a pre-chorus is definitely more apt. a bridge is the part of the song that is different from the rest. and its only played once in the whole song. and its normally after the verse and chorus has been played at least twice.
song examples with bridges in them are creep by radiohead, the part where he goes super high and crazy as well as hit me baby one more time by britney spears, after the second chorus i think, where she sings i must confess dat my loneliness is killing me now blah blah.
bridges brings about a fresh sound to the song and helps prevents the song from draggin on monotonously after some time. and can also serve as the suepr power climax!!! bridges do not normally end songs and its normally follwed by a vers or chorus.
Hmm.. Very interesting discussions you have here Mirza. Makes me wanna continue reading the rest of your posts!
And thanks for the bridge and pre-chorus part too. I've always been very puzzled by all these terms.

Hello!
I find this all very interesting! Gives a new perspective to music!
Thinking back to some of the songs I've heard before, could the pre-chorus have the function of building up the excitement to the chorus and the bridge having the function of sustaining the climax?
Would there have been a difference if there was no pre-chorus before the chorus? Would the effect still be the same?
