Talkin ’bout song structures

Bruce, Neel, Phil and Janice spent most of an hour on the subject of song structures with 4 different examples. We talked about:

• the prologue verse (I Left my Heart in San Francisco)
• writing for musical theatre (My Funny Valentine)
• the connection between segment style and lyrical content (Band on the Run)
• Sloan’s song with its many sections and its Beatles influence (Fading into Obscurity)

All in all, a fun and informative show. Thanks for the tweets Tony!
