Na na na na. La la la la.
Crap.
Theyr'e all the same anyway.
My verses are my choruses (someone help me out with the correct English terminology here). And my bridges are my verses. Well, maybe not.
What rule is it that dictates that the chorus must be the 'strongest' or 'catchiest' part of a song? If it works that way great, but why force it?
Vurt doesn't have choruses (here we go again) in his music. Then again he doesn't have verses either. Come to think of it, it's not even music, as we know it. Probably a bad example.
But, Techno songs don't have a chorus. Gabba doesn't have a chorus. But in the pop/rock domain, the song MUST have a chorus. If you were going to be produced by anyone of any note, they would say 'where is the hook?' - meaning where is the f**king chorus? Even Hip Hop has a chorus for pity's sake.
Why am I getting all uppity about this?
Well, wrote a great song today (if you like that kind of thing). Didn't have a chorus. Or to be more precise, I could not bleddy think of a chorus to go with it. It's a great song. It doesn't need a chorus. So, I decided to stop forcing choruses (this is really starting to bother me now) on the song. It works perfectly well without it. It is cyclical, like most of my stuff. Why ruin it? Let the seasons change. Why interrupt with 'ooh baby' a half decibel higher, and half a tone sharper, and a half a bpm faster (actually let's not even go there - that is an argument for another day)?
But really, this is the 21st Century, do we really need choruses any more?
Na na na na...
Do away with them I say. Make it de rigueur to say 'oh no, not another bliddy chorus, that is so 20th Century'.
