Song structure

Songs often have verses, pre-choruses, choruses, bridges, and post-choruses. The verses contain the story, details, and information. The pre-chorus builds tension and makes the listener want to hear the chorus. The chorus is the main idea. The bridge is a scenic route on the journey. The post-chorus reminds the listener of the main idea without restating it.
