Will we settle on a final list of categories, or will we just pick from the vast lists being provided now?
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
I *love* these categories, but the ones needing actual knowledge of music theory and/or structure may need some handholding. Could I tell you what part of any song is the bridge, without guessing? No. Unless it's the live version of "Sunkeneyed Girl," where he says "this song doesn't have a bridge."

A bridge is the part in the middle of the song, maybe two-thirds of the way through, that doesn't sound like the verse or the chorus.
A typical pop song is structured something like V-C-V-C-B-V-C. This is also known as ABACAB (Holy Genesis, Batman!).

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
What Jon said. Ray Charles said a good song is all about the middle 8. He broke that rule himself often, but a great bridge is pure transcendence.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Wow. Is that really what that album title was about?

Is that really what that album title was about?
Yes. And it's also the specific chord progression of the song as well.
