How to structure a song. . . the tension and release points vs. the story arc. Find the right balance. I don't know any other way to put it.
It's difficult to recall ever hearing a good bridge. Obviously "good" is subjective, but I listen to almost every style of music and have an enormous record collection, and can't think of a good bridge.
One of the greatest bridges ever committed to tape intros with the line - "Bobby! Should I take 'em to the bridge?". The good bridges are out there. Maybe you were joking.
One thing I notice about my songs is that, in chronological order of conceptualization, any given song sounds pretty similar to the one just before it or just after it. So like say I write songs A, B, C, D, and E in that order. Song A sounds kinda like song B, while song B sounds like song C in a slightly different way, while songs A and C don't sound as much like each other.. Songs A and E sound nothing like each other, but if you take B, C, and D into account there's an obvious progression in terms of harmonic/rhythmic/conceptual ideas etc.
Just shootin the shit here, but has anyone else noticed this in their own stuff?
Yes, and that is huge problem for me. I am trying to keep each song creative and not keep repeating myself. That is why I have been using a capo and trying to get song uniqueness (couldn't figure out how else to say it). One thing I have tried in the past is to listen to different genres, timing, keys to see if I can break up my songs and look for inspiration.
Yea, have the same problem, gets worse the more songs you write.
