Songs without a chorus

This week we talked about songs which have no chorus. First, we had to be clear about what does make a chorus. Then we deep dove on three songs we think don’t have one. What do you think? Leave a comment with your pick for a song without a chorus.

We also talked about:

• focussed listening to songs
• our show about Songwriting Apps
• our other theme shows about song structure, like Bridges and Pre-Choruses
• the differences between a chorus and a refrain
• maybe story or lyric-driven songs with lots of words don’t necessarily have a chorus
• it’s a chorus if people can easily sing along
• kitchen sink dramas
