Aurora Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 "to its sweet cloud of steam" – the way a simple word change can alter the perception of a whole lyric, genius. The additional refrain / B section is really beautiful too. This round is slaying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceremonials Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Shut up Hunter @Hug I was planning to expand on the whole colors concept a bit, but due to time restraint I didn't, really. Those colors are just supposed to represent the past basically, and the dark ones represent the future. Whereas the present is in more of a gray area, between worrying about the future and fondly remembering the past. The fields of gold/rivers of red was definitely just thrown on there though n, it was something different before but I didn't like it so I changed it. It was supposed to be kinda safe and simple, but I guess i should have expanded on the imagery a bit more to get that point across, because I think that's what I compromised the most this week - the story, which I feel is usually my strong point.

Aurora Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 37 minutes ago, Corsola said: This is gonna sound really stupid but I know very little about songwriting so WHAT is the difference between a chorus and a refrain? I tried googling and honestly just got more confused than I began Not stupid at all. There's really no such thing as a stupid question, especially when it comes to songwriting, because, well, really you can do whatever the heck you want (within reason! Some structures are tried and tested and simply work better than others). A chorus, refrain and hook can sometimes blur into one another. I personally feel the main differences are the length, and what is being said. A chorus is typically the keystone or heart of a song, it's the primary focus of the song's subject matter, it's what the verses are leading into, and yes, it is repeated a few times. A refrain, like the chorus, is repeated a few times, but is typically shorter than a chorus. Refrains tend to be more punchy and let the verses carry the body of the song. Furthermore, a hook is again, a shorter repeated word or phrase which is designed to be the catchy, memorable or most impactful part of the song (usually, but not always, the titular lyric). Someone can feel free to #cloque me but honestly I feel like it's up to interpretation and you can call it whatever you want as long as it sounds good. There are similar debates about bridge vs. middle eight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hug Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 To be honest, I always thought of hooks as something that's supposed to hook the listener into the song, so that's why rap songs tend to have "hooks", that pop element that makes the commonfolk want to listen to it. I would then think of choruses as big, powerful moments in songs that tie the theme of the song together. This would be more reserved for ballads and the like. That would leave refrain, which I...want to associate with orchestral music for some reason. That, or since refrain means like...hold back, it's like a calming part of a song idk. I never paid much mind to the terminology myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
