Example lyric structure

[Intro]
(Walking bassline)
(Brush drums)
(Piano comping)

[Verse 1]
(Smoky female vocals)
The moon is hanging low tonight
The city sleeps in pale blue light
I'm pouring out another glass
Waiting for the time to pass

[Chorus]
It's just those midnight blues
Got nothing left to lose
Playing a losing game
Whispering your name

[Instrumental Solo]
(Saxophone Solo - 16 bars)

[Verse 2]
Smoke rings drifting in the air
Empty chair, empty stare
Melody plays soft and slow
Radio from long ago

[Outro]
(Piano flourish)
(Final cymbal wash)
Midnight blues...

Working method

Build around the strongest hook.

Start with the recipe’s sonic vocabulary, then draft the chorus or central motif before expanding the verses. The genre should shape section energy and performance—not merely sit as a label at the top.
