I always do the same VVCV etc…and want to try just repeating the hook in the last line of the verses. So I’m wondering what considerations regarding maybe storyline, message etc…you make when writing a lyric with a repeating hook only. It’s a good time for me to think about this since the verses are really, really tentative at this point. Thanks for the help!

If it feels right do it... If you like it keep it if you don't try again smile

A number of my songs only repeat the hook at the end of a vers rather than have a seperate chorus... I've even won a couple of songwriting and lyric comps over the last 9 years with them ....

If you check out my web site... Dawgs day off (as a lyric), and , the grey with wings upon his his feet (as a song) are the two comp winners ... Tipper (which has no chorus) made the finals as a song last year.... ok so not everyones cup of tea but I like them smile

Good luck and Cheers
