I’m working on a new song, inspired by @Miika Vuoriaho but i won’t be ready for this week, so I’ll do an old song for this week, and work on the new one for next week.

Sometime creatives take a very long break when they are burnt out from engaging in creative activities too much. They often take even 1-2 years break before they start creating again. Have you ever had it? Weekly submissions would cause this to me haha

What would you like to achieve? Why do you do music? Where do you see or imagine yourself within music industry? @everyone

Here some of you writes songs every week to submit them to open mic events here in this group. What is your work flow? What do you start with how you continue and how you complete it? Tell us more @Miika Vuoriaho @Luke Wilson @Justin Weir

Hello guys! 😶👋 Happy Friday to everyone. 🤗Hope you are doing well. Here is my new input to the community. The bridge is a musical section of a song that connects two parts of a song. For example, a musical section that connects the verse to the chorus of a song serves is a bridge too but I rather xall it pre-chorus however it is a bridge considering it bridging function. A bridge usually sit between the last two 2nd and 3rd chorus of the song to add variation which is what I really call a bridge. You need a bridge to give a break to the listener from the original core and path that the song uses and avoid creating boredom. Before the song would become too repetitive and predictible add a bridge. Feel free to stop most of the instrument to reduce intensity as it goes before the last explosion which is the 3rd andxlast chorus of a song. In very short songs you don't necessarily need to add a bridge it is not a must and adding 3 choruses instead of just to is neither a must. I like to have 3 choruses done as mentioned in my previous post and thus I like to compose a bridge. Bridge should bring a totally different vibe for those few seconds in the song. Take the listener off the usual thing that they are used to until the bridge begins. You can have one instrument and derive some new chord progressions from the original chord progression but you can go as far as you want in feel and mood. Trip the listener somewhere to a new "space" new depths new dimension and slowly arrive back at the chorus as that or an instrumental solo follows. Work out the bridge the the way that feels natural when it starts right after the 2nd chorus and feels natural to come back to the chorus again but still keep it different and distinct for every other part of the song. You could just use an earlier section from a song and repeat it as a bridge played on one instrument trimmed down to its main melody for instance. There are several ways of making a bridge. In many cases the bridge is placed before the first chorus which is not like a prechorus and that bridge doesn't come back later even if the song is long with 3 choruses. There are songs with no bridge at all and in some cases the bridge if it is a very short bridge comes back twice between the prechorus and the chorus(often as part of the prechorus. It depends on how you feel it. When you feel it is necessary to add something new a new section to the song because that's the intuition you are getting just go ahead. There is more to talk about it 😊Do you have any questions? Let's grow together 👍🙏
