Maybe unpopular opinion? If a verse is a whole paragraph of words, the prechorus a paragraph, the chorus a paragraph, and it’s not a rap song, I instantly tune out. I don’t even get the concept. I GUARANTEE the songs you listen to don’t do that. What is even your inspiration?

Depends on the song? I think it works in a lot of prog & metal. Just depends on the dynamic you're going for and what your audience is used to. I think it's certainly a good rule of thumb for pop

I’m having a hard time thinking of a metal hit where the “hook” is a paragraph long and the vocals have no breaks

Maybe I misunderstood your point? By 'paragraph' do mean longer than a couple of lines or do you mean extremely cluttered?

No I mean like 4-6 sentences for every part of the song. No repeating lines. Barely a stretched out note. Just a barrage of vocals with virtually no breaks.

Oh right. Yeah that's a pretty instinctive thing to avoid for good songwriters. Where did you hear it?

It's all over. I don't want to call specific artists out :P

Fair enough haha Only time I've seen it used effectively is to convey panic or frantic distress, like in Oh My Fucking God by Strapping Young Lad, but even then it's just parts

ABSOLUTELY a place for it in parts, it's a great tool, just not every part is what I was trying to say
