All three of these song parts are and can be interchangeable. The chorus is the overall message in the song. Think about a thesis for a paper. Your thesis expresses the purpose or main point of your essay just as a chorus would a song. The chorus tells you what your song is about. So, it is expected of you to help the listener know exactly what you intend to prove in your song. This is because a chorus is a group of several lines repeated throughout the song, unlike a refrain.
This is the repeated part throughout the entire song. I sure would hate to see you give up now You look so much better when you smile, so smile. Just like the chorus, the refrain is also repetitive. What make the refrain different from the chorus is how many lines it contain. A refrain normally has no more than two lines.
Also called refrain. Bridge A second melody in a tune or song that separates the main melody from its repetition. It adds interest.
Sometimes it's said that the bridge is a stage wait until you get back to the good part. Also a short musical phrase linking two other parts. Chorus and refrain are almost but not entirely synomymous. In old ballads the refrain may be as little as one line repaeted at the end of each verse, or evn the last line of each verse repeated- gives the listeners a role in the song.
A chorus is a refrain long enough to be seperate section of the song , sometimes with its own melody and form, sometimes using the same tune and form as the verses, but with repeated lyrics. A bridge could mean either of two things- in an AABA tune, the first , second and fourth parts of the tune are musically identical or nearly so. The third, contrasting part is also called "the bridge.
There may be a contrasting third part of the tune which is included near the end, which may be calle the bridge. It can also be used to provide a way to modulate keys within a tune. I consider these types of passing chords to be bridges. Right or Wrong? A refrain is a repeated line or lines in a song, which typically occurs at the end of each verse. In contrast, a chorus is a part of a song which is repeated after each verse.
The main difference between refrain and chorus is their melodic buildup. There is no melodic buildup in a refrain while a melodic buildup always characterizes a chorus. Moreover, a refrain is typically shorter than a chorus, consisting only one or two lines.
Refrain and chorus are two of the most memorable elements in a song. Although they are very much similar, they are not the same. Unlike the "verse" it contains the same words each time. Not a very useful definition for a theorist! A "bridge" is originally and literally a linking section, and normally refers to a central section of a tune, with different chords, melody and sometimes key to the previous sections.
This only occurs once in the overall structure of the tune, although the whole structure may be repeated. Unlike a chorus, it may often represent a more reflective or oblique mood than the rest of the tune. So if there is only one "refrain" in a song, it should probably be called a "bridge".
OTOH, if a bridge is repeated several times especially following every verse , then it should be called a "refrain" or chorus of course. Naturally, the grey area is where something very like a bridge occurs twice - and there is no repeated "chorus" elsewhere. There is also potential confusion if a song contains two different bridges rock songs often do.
In classic pop song form, the "bridge" is the 8-bar "B" section or "middle 8" of a bar AABA overall form. It's amazing how ubiquitous this form was in popular songs of the early-mid 20th century. Almost no other kind of structure was used, although you occasionally saw small variations of it. In the musical shows or films where thse old songs usually originated, the entire AABA structure was the "chorus", and would follow a "verse" - although increasingly the latter became short and perfunctory, little more than in intro to the "meat" of the song.
Eventually, in popular performance or on record, verses would be dropped entirely. Jazz musicians still use the term "chorus" to refer to an entire repeated AABA structure, even tho they rarely play or even know the "verse".
In rock, a second different bridge should be termed a "C" section. Many rock songs go on to contain "D" or even "E" sections, tho these would be rare. So - in short!
