My experience seems to be the same as Noel's.

I've spent over forty years in pro studios without hearing the phrase "pre-chorus" until about eight years ago. Suddenly, the words became fashionable with young people and then it seemed as if every song had to have one.

I don't think the music's changed, just the terminology.

I'll echo that. Never heard it from a publisher. Getting back into writing in 2009 was my first time hearing it. It's just semantics by one of the teachers that caught on. I don't think it's changed anything other than terminology either.

Noel - As always, love reading your thoughts on songs - you spread more joy than any 12 of Santa's elves...

John - appreciate you stopping by for a listen and a comment. Yea, a good idea, once discovered, will often just "write itself".

Guenter - Thanks! So... how long did it take you to grow that beard???

This was really my point in mentioning it... (I know what it IS).
I've seen it brandished around - I've even seen people talk about their "pre-pre-chorus" and their "pre-bridge". I don't write song pieces. Verse, chorus, bridge. Seems plenty.

Rock and Roll!!

I played this today for family and friends and it was a hit for the holiday. Nothing but great comments from all my musician family and friends. So from my gathering today a big thumbs up for this floyd jane production. Good stuff said about the lyrics and the lead singer and the band. Oh, and Janice and I agree with them smile

Floyd,

As usual I enjoyed that. You certainly know how to produce a good song.

I’m late to the party and it’s all been said so all I can add is WOW this is good!


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

Hi Floyd,

As far as I'm concerned, you are a hit maker.

The story of the song really grabbed me. Great hook, "with this I love Tammy tatoo".

Production is great too.

Thanks for sharing.

P,S, "Again... crank. it. up! (As LOUD as you can stand it!!!)", seriously lol.
