Often true!
I assumed that Sammy wrote most of his songs in AABA form (no Chorus). But he could’ve written a lot of Verse/Chorus songs that I don’t know about (I do know about ‘High Hopes’, for instance!).
Thanks and best wishes,
Tony

Seth,
Good to hear from you!
Things have moved along a bit but that’s still often true.
Also… I wonder if Sammy, who probably wrote few, if any, ‘Verse/Chorus songs, was referring to the old meaning of the Verse… which would also make sense.
Best wishes,
Tony

Yeah- I think the angle is EVERYTHING with a mundane title like that. Even with an attention grabbing one, an angle the listener didn’t hear coming when they read the title could really put a song over the top, although you still gotta write it lol!
