Hello Songwriters!
How do you know if what you've just written is part of the verse or a pre-chorus?  What does a pre-chorus do?  How long is it?

In this video, Steve Seskin and Bonnie Hayes talk about the function of the pre-chorus, what to watch for (to avoid writing the incredible metastasizing pre-chorus!), and how to use it to get the most from your song.
