UInstinctVegeta 01/25/18 1:18:04 AM #1:	Literally like every song the first verse is like 12-16 lines... and the second is 4 or less. And then straight to the bridge.

ZeroSignal620 01/28/18 9:27:08 AM #13:	No clue. If I had to take a guess on it, it might be because most bands/artists recognize the chorus as the thing that hooks people into a song, but also uses the first verse to kinda set the setting for the song. A few examples I can think of from rock/metal with long opening verses but short second verses are the following... - Quite a few songs by Breaking Benjamin ("Breath", "I Will Not Bow", "Failure") - "Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden - "Judas" by Fozzy (this one I just found myself listening to yesterday and caught it) Admittedly, most of these don't have lyrical bridges (Maiden's bridge in Wasted Years is a guitar solo), but you get the jist of it --- Formerly known as Raven 2 http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/ZeroSignal620.png <cite>ZeroSignal620 posted [p:894959398] in Why is eve...
