Stephen,
Thanks for reading and writing. That’s a great question! I can’t think of any, probably at least partly because Choruses tend to fall flat after bad Per-Choruses, so you’re less likely to hear the songs.
But I’ll think on it and see if anything comes up.
Best wishes,
Tony

I really appreciate the thought you put into each post and always look forward to the next one. I also learned so much from your songwriting classes over the years. Thanks again.

The idea being that it takes the message of the verse, compresses it, and then winds up to to deliver a payoff. I always felt and understood the importance of this musically but I think you did a great job of emphasizing how the lyric in the Pre-Chorus has to do it’s job too. I’ve never heard this explained better.
