Gary,
just yesterday I listened to a couple of songs we wrote together. They put a smile on my face. I learned a lot from you.
I get what you're saying: consider leaning into the one-line refrain chorus, use verses to carry the story, and add only as much bridge or extra chorus material as needed to keep the listener engaged — no more, no less.
I'm leaning in that direction as well but it's Kay-lynn's song. She asked for a dedicated chorus and that's what I tried to give her. What Suno did with this is absolutely awesome. My wife just came in and asked, Who's singing this and who wrote it. The song is beautiful. We'll see what Kay-lynn wants to do with this. Thanks for your review and helpful suggestions. This is like in the good old days.
