Vocal Melody Hack - How To Structure A Song // Song Structure Formula

[@cometkazi2754]

Feel the beat. I always name my song first because when you have the name of the song first then you know what you need to write in your chorus so when you finish the chorus you know what you need to write in you're verse, bridge or outro.

[@thebigi8578]

I do all sorts of styles like I've done (verse) (hook) (verse) or (intro) (hook) (verse) (hook) or (verse) (hook) (verse) (hook) or (intro) (bridge) (hook) (verse) (bridge) (hook) -these are my most common but I've done many more

[@SKYJORDXN]

That’s dope. I made the video to show people that is hella different ways to approach songs and it’s dope seeing ppl actually show ppl what they go through and it’s even better to see people who try multiple ways

[@z6nestudio]

It would be cool if you followed this up by taking a 2 track beat, chopping it into sections, rearranging it, and cross-fading the pieces back together to show how to rearrange a beat to whatever song structure you want.

[@SKYJORDXN]

For sure , that’s important because that gives you more creativity instead of being stuck with a 2 track

[@realdonandres]

either hook/verse/hook/verse 2 or just one continuous verse thru out the whole song

[@abdullahaltashi7235]

this definitely answered a couple questions i needed thank you

[@thegoodnoise8969]

Bruh no joke, im bouts to watch this video and and then go in legit on one of my beats n this shit goin’ hit different chout. Big ups and mahalo to what you do for the come ups brotha! S’GOOOOOOOOO

[@SKYJORDXN]

Did you try out different shxt ?

[@keinfame7573]

U can easily structure your song by listening to the beat. If u understand the beat u easily know where to put the hook or verse. I always write the hook first and then the other stuff. I rarely do bridges or pre-chrorus. I also don’t really care about the intro and outro, I often just put adlips there

[@AnthonyDutter]

I'm just starting in rapping and beginning to understand the structure thing. I started writting a whole song with just verses. But for a more structured one i would change depending on the beat but i could go with intro/verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge or outro. 🙂 Thank's for the tips bro 🙏

[@micmadness8472]

I go off of whatever the beat gives me. I just dropped a song with my label the was intro verse verse. Artist name : iowakings song name reaper. It turned out dope af. But all depends on what the beat is like.

[@acenla4715]

I usually do (intro) (hook) (verse) (hook) (verse) (Outro) but it also depends on the song and the topic so other one will go (verse) (chorus) (bridge) (verse) An a little melody outro

[@SKYJORDXN]

Yeah I’ve been seeing a few ppl actually like having bridges but it’s dope seeing people knowing their structures

[@unoali_]

I just got logic the other day im not gone hold u gang you’ve been helping me a lot appreciate u no kap ✊🏽

[@ny-yanni]

Honestly I usually start writing a hook because it helps build up the verse but I write unorthodox I be all over my notes I be writing the hook get a idea for the story to go in the verse write that & keep goin until I know exactly what I want

[@SKYJORDXN]

but afterwards not even afterwards but can you tell which songs are structured differently and the difference between the views/plays ?

you ever experimented with anything else?

[@Smoodz_the_big_ceo]

@@SKYJORDXN I tried going full verse with no chorus but I’ll try some of what u said in your vid too

[@shan5445]

I go with intro, verse, hook, verse, bridge, hook, outro and keep it less than 2:30 anything above that is way too long. Sometimes I keep the verses short or repeat the first verse and add something new to the repeated verse to keep it fresh like I'm giving the listener a present and yet making them engage then go to the outro.

[@SKYJORDXN]

Which song format do people end up liking more ?

[@kcjohnson4178]

Depends on the beat drops but I try to do. hook/verse/hook/verse/outro or intro/verse/hook/verse/hook

[@allthingnwl4109]

I have a song a started in my closet w my phone about 3 years ago and I o my had a chorus.. couldn’t come up with a verse. After another year of just listening i came up w a verse and I took it to a friend home studio. Recorded it but the song structure is: intro, chorus, bridge, verse, prechorus, interlude (with chorus in background) and then prechorus to end

[@itsreal7866]

First listen the beat them create own structure but one thing you should remember is whether chorus first or intro first thats it

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

Is a chapter book 📖 and a studio album 💿 same or different?

[@christhelemaque4187]

Intro / Hook / Verse / HOok / Verse / Out but theres no pre defined set its all based on the beat and how i feel the beat goes to where i place my hook n verse first

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

The chorus gives you the story aka the verse and chorus gives you the story too.

[@SJ-hg6fy]

Some songs start with hooks, I think u can start a song with a hook as long as the Hook is catchy

[@arcanimusiz6702]

I structure the song based on the beat to I wish I knew how to change the beat structure, last time I tired complete fail 😩lol. but I try to keep it simple like verse/hook/verse/hook or vice versa and maybe a intro

How does the reggaeton structure differ from the others ?

[@leh.b]

@@SKYJORDXN There no difference! But is all about what the Artist wants to become if you want to be a Billboard charting Artist (Mainstream) then you have to follow (Intro-Verse-Hook-Verse-Hook-Bridge-Outro) (Intro-Hook-Verse-Hook-Verse-Bridge-Outro) If you starting out and all you do is freestyle (AKA 1 huge Verse) then you should try to Structure like this (1 Long Verse-Bridge -Outro) (Intro-1 Long Verse- Bridge- Outro) There’s no limits but these are popular Many Producers on the Tube are showing you how they structure so you can learn to flow in structures. Check out this producer he likes to play with structures a lot kzbin.info

[@NVRLOSTT]

how many bars should the hooks and verses be to make it a 2:30 song? or a little below that

[@SKYJORDXN]

I’d say do 8 bars for a hook / 16 maybe for the verse and 8 for a hook again. But depends on how you do the verse n hook tho. I’ve done it differently a few times but I’m more melodic so it might take more for someone who is rapping etc

Yo! Jordan! So the kaotica eyeball... is it worth $200 for a ball of foam? I’m seeing loads of mixed opinions and it’s fucking with me... people saying go with the cheaper versions etc... tell me your thoughts bro! 🔥

[@SKYJORDXN]

Imma be honest with you , I fuck with it but I only wanted it for the aesthetic purpose but it’s cool if you actually want to spend the bread. Mixed opinions come from people expecting unrealistic things from the eyeball. I know a few ppl who prefer the cheaper ones vs the eyeball and Vice versa. My reasons for why I like it is different and I don’t record in the same room all the time and it’s easier for me to just move around with the eyeball. Cuz at the end of the day it’s up to you I wouldn’t let people’s options steer you either way tho. If you can buy it and not regret it that’s cool but if you want to go the cheaper route and don’t like the cheaper option you could always go back and upgrade

[@Cole-hs7yk]

Cool, that’s kinda my thoughts... I feel the cheap one will do the same job, but I want the Kaotica for the looks... might get my vibe up! Watching this video I feel verse chorus verse chorus seems easiest! I’m just starting out... so now I know my structure could you show us how you put all that onto a beat? Like where’s a good place to jump in etc... I know that varies hugely but a basic guide would be cool! Cheers bro! Keep up the hard work 👍
