Sometimes, however, a song's intro will not have any material found later in the song. In this scenario, the goal is to create interest for the listener and encourage them to keep playing it. Either way, an intro typically last up to four bars. This is where we get down to business and find out what the story is about. Generally, there are multiple verses in a song, and they usually have different lyrics even though the melody will likely be the same.
We get more information about the story with each additional verse. Considering that most commercial songs are between 3 and 4 minutes long, many people ask how many lines should be in the verse of the song. A good rule of thumb is to keep the song verses under 1 minute, or just a few lines. The pre-chorus is not a necessary component and is often shorter than a verse or chorus.
For the listener, it usually creates a feeling of wanting to be thrusted towards the chorus. Musically, bridges are often substantially different from the rest of the music in the song; they may be in a different key, employ unusual chord progressions, or have a dramatically different level of textural density and energy.
In some types of music, the bridge is used for instrumental solos. Generally, the bridge occurs only after at least one verse and one chorus. The A, B, and C letter names are often used to create formal diagrams of particular songs, and this can be a useful tool in your own Active Listening or when writing a Catalog of Attributes.
In some songs that use this basic form, there may be one or more additional choruses added to the end. Although there is a wide variety of possible song forms that can be made just from various combinations of verse, chorus, and bridge, these types of sectional constructions are less commonly used in more underground or experimental music. For example, most contemporary electronic genres without vocals tend to avoid conventional verse and chorus sections, and instead create formal contrast via addition and subtraction of layers.
The pre-chorus usually lasts 4 bars long. So if you have a 16 bar verse, then 12 of those bars would be used for the verse, then 4 bars for your pre-chorus which would lead into the chorus. Let me draw this out to show. It should also contain the same melody throughout the song.
You can absolutely used the same rap lyrics for each pre-chorus, or you can change it every time. Just make sure it keeps the same amount of syllables and emphasis and tone.
I like to use the same lyrics here with maybe a minor change in ONE or two of the bars to keep the same feel. For me, the chorus of a rap song is where the theme, idea, or general concept is delivered. This is one of the most important parts of a song.
The rap hook represents the most memorable piece of the music to the listeners. I try to make sure I put the most time into this. You want the hook to stand out from the rest of the song. The rap chorus main role is to give you a summary of the feeling, emotion and idea of the song in a generalized way.
Many times you will hear an artist use the title of the song here. The chorus should be easy to remember. The rap chorus is generally bars long. Often times in rap, rappers will repeat the hook twice in this span of time.
So 4 bars repeated twice will make 8 bars. I do want to say this is not a rule. There have been many people who have broken these barriers and rap song structures and still made amazing pieces of music.
But a chorus should have the same lyrics throughout the entire song. Unless you feel changing a word or line here or there will have a major impact on the theme of the song. Which means counting to 4 twelve times in a row on the beat. Then right after the 8 bars of the hook here, Em goes in again for another verse.
Verse 2. A little bit different with a change.
