I had three in the top 10 this morning...but we know all about that "saving time in a bottle" thang.

Yes, the intro is important, period. OurStage really makes that clear, but it should always be remembered. Most songwriting conversations talk about choruses and verses and bridges...but the intro is every bit as important. Too many writers just strum, as if to say, "Excuse me, while I warm up for a bit...okay...I'm almost ready...aaaand: here we go."

And then you listen to "Revolution".

Or "Hey Jude".
