3:28 So true! And from my experience, the added element needn't be "in your face" - it can be very _subtle_ - like, just adding a simple, soft strings pad, or some subtle percussion in the background. Listeners will pick up on that. They'll get a sense of your story _deepening_ and _evolving_ as your song goes on. Great insight!

I didn’t know that. Looks like technically it’s by both Springsteen and Patti Smith.

How do you label the structure in garageband with those colors?

I’m not that familiar with GarageBand, so I’m not sure if that’s a feature or not.
1kth like is mine wow
Good structures, specially in the TikTok era when the listeners get easily bored and click away, we are in a constant battle for attention, where the average is 6 seconds attention the most in a video. And most new producers make 2 minute songs to be TikTok enabled. Not like in the 80s where you could make a 9 minute bangers lol. anyways, I usually start with the drums to set the rythmic base, then the bass, then the chords yes, but so that they can syncopate or follow the drums, idk.
Is breakdown and break same or different and also is interlude and break aka breakdown same or different what I said it’s different?

A lot of terms are used interchangeably, but I believe technically a breakdown is more like a chorus, and a break/interlude is typically an instrumental section.

Would have been nicer if you could play some music with examples, without continuously speaking.

What were you waiting to hear? The songs I used as examples? I couldn’t play the audio of those because I’d get a copyright strike on the video. Sorry if that was a problem, but you can always look them up on Spotify. Have a good one. 👍

Well, maybe one of your own songs then? To give an idea of how each section actually sounds. I have no idea what a chorus sounds for example...
