Do You Subscribe To This Songwriting Idea?

[Anxious Optimist]

It all depends on the song I'm writing and what genre I'm going for. I feel that when I go out of my way to write a catchy, more traditional chorus, it sounds forced and cheesy a lot of times. With that said, when inspiration hits, I'll write 4-8 bars that I really like, make that the chorus and then have room to build around it with the verses/bridge/etc. I rarely pen my verses then go back and try to form a chorus that encompasses the general idea.

The real important thing is that the verse and chourus stand out from each other ... and there'lots of says to do that , and combine things to make them stand out from the other , and keep it moving so it doesn't get boring and make ears shut off ..... just my 2 cents
