  • Songwriter Tip:

    Here’s the real skinny on the simple song forms such as the one-section (AAA) and two-section (ABABAB). While they will allow you the maximum amount of space for lyric information at fast tempo, they can quickly become melodically boring because the melodies repeat so often. This is bad for us as songwriters, as a bored listener is tuning out and won’t remember a thing.
