Genre: {{genre}}
Approximate length: {{length}}
Lay out a full structure with these labeled sections: Intro, Verse 1, Pre-Chorus, Chorus, Verse 2, Chorus, Bridge, Final Chorus, Outro.
For each section describe:
- Its job in the story (setup, turn, payoff, etc.)
- The emotional intensity on a 1 to 10 scale
- 2 to 3 sample line ideas written in my own original words
- Roughly how many lines it should hold
End with a note on what should change between Verse 1 and Verse 2 so the song moves forward. Keep all lines original and do not reproduce any existing song.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
