i have been making music as a hobby since March last year, and I frequently find myself getting attached to the verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus structure. i have tried really hard to do something different because i am getting really bored of it. whenever i do something different, i'm just not happy with the results. either that, or i get stuck in nowhere. any ideas on how to overcome this?
check all the songs you listen to. see if any of them do something besides that form. See if there are any songs you really really like, that don't follow that form. figure out what it does instead. figure out what you want to call that. Just check out all the songs you know and see what kind of roadmap they're using. Just take some time and enjoy some different road maps. eventually they will all come out in your writing
