Ok, I'm doing a music assignment on The Catalyst (Yay) and its turning out harder than I anticipated... I've got to structure The Catalyst and note down how many bars are in each. I've got the structure down, I just can't get the bars (I suck at all things music). Here is the Structure so far: Intro Verse 1 Bridge Verse 2 Synth Solo Verse 2(?) Chorus Outro Any improvements will be appreciated . So, anyone good at counting bars?
How I see it is... Verse 1 Verse 1 Pre-Chorus Chorus Verse 2 Verse 2 Pre-Chorus Chorus Bridge Chorus Bridge Verse 1 (Fading in) Verse 1 Verse 1
Eh, I don't think there are pre-choruses ... and the second "bridge" section you mention, I consider that to be an outro with bits from the verses.
Ok. Then there are 2 choruses (chori) and then a shortened chorus before the synth solo/bridge. Then there's another bridge with Mike, followed by the verses. You can call it an outro and just simplify it.
In terms of how each part fits with the song, here's how I see the song structure: Verse 1 Chorus A1 Synth Solo Verse 2 Chorus A2 Turntable Solo (yes, this is a turntable solo. NOT a synth solo. Sorry to get your hopes up, guys) Half Chorus A3 Bridge Chorus B (In this section of the song, what was formerly the Verse plays the role of the Chorus)
