Skaligojurah Rule of Thumb:
Verse chorus is for pussies!!!!
--------------------------------------------------
I purposely avoid writing that way. It's a contrivance, and it forces a songwriter to get lazy, and write uninteresting rhythmic patterns. It also forces the songwriter to pad down a song with meaningless non-sense lines just to fit the shape of the structure damaging the poetic legitimacy of a song.
Really, My preference is to write the song from beginning to end not even thinking of words, play it over, and over, and over. I then improvise words over it depending on the theme it inspires in my head. ofcourse, doing this for awhile you'll end up with phrases, and clauses you like most. Furthermore, I don't write them down on paper. If they can't be memorised, they're not worth writing.
I actually would love to compel any future songwriter to entirely avoid writing in the verse-chorus structure. If you allow words to come out more fluidly than they don't interrupt the narrative of the melody, and can be consistently reworked. It makes your work more natural, unique, and interesting. The style is just beat to death, and it's especially sad that it's required as radio standard. Break the formula, free yourself from the mundane.
