Gracious Gaga 17,163 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Typical pop songs follow this structure A - verse B - pre chorus C - chorus A - verse B - pre chorus C - chorus D - bridge C - chorus sometimes there is a post chorus and some times songs will begin w the chorus (like bad romance, Judas, most Kim petras songs) Alice follows this structure C - chorus (“ my name isn’t Alice...”) A - verse (“could u pull me out...”) B - pre chorus (“oh ma ma ma I’m tired..”) C - chorus D - post chorus (“take me, home, take me..”) G - bridge (“sick n tired of waking up..”) C - chorus D - post chorus i wish there was another A section after the second C section I know she’s trying to keep the songs short for replay value- but it would’ve only added prob less than 30 addition sections to the song , leaving us under 3:30, which isn’t THAT long on the second hand- I do appreciate when songs don’t follow the typical pop song structure/format. And from a songwriter perspective I hate writing lyrics so leaving out a second verse makes everything easier hahah (unless you wanna be like Rihanna and just repeat the same verse twice ala S&M, kiss it better) what are your thots? Does Alice deserve a second verse? ♥ Kindness Police. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevana229 1,877 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I agree.. Alice is very weirdly structured but I think it fits the twisted, dark vibe of the song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
2School4Cool 6,445 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I always considered “sick and tired of waking up” to be the second verse. Sometimes songs have a second verse that is structurally different from the first. Perhaps it just doesn’t have a bridge. I could be very wrong though!

CautiousLurker 19,354 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Gaga was sleepy and didn't want to write it It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke78619 23,328 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I noticed this earlier can’t believe it took over two weeks for me to notice it is weird, I feel like it would sound weird with a second verse though, or dragged out a bit. It’s a short ass song but I don’t think I’d change it in any way tbh insta: good_lukeing | I have nothing else to promote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Celebrity 1,563 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 It was definitely an artistic choice and I actually really like when songs don’t follow the normal structure. It would be interesting to hear what lyrics on a second verse would be though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacs vs looser 4,251 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Most tracks on the album would've benefited from being a tad longer, but that's just my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably would have dragged it out a bit too much End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFRatwell 23,290 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Your bridge is actually the second verse. There’s no bridge in the song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueskye 1,087 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I would have liked the pre-chorus to be in there again before the last chorus, it’s a great part that was underused. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delulu Rogers 7,243 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Yeah that's why I like the song but don't LOVE it like 99% of this fanbase. There should have been a second verse with another "oh my mama" pre chorus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRCF29 8,202 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 A second verse doesn't have to follow the exact same structure as the first. Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
