A Note on Music Theory

I don't think a lot of people understand how dramatically jumping right back into the verse after the first chorus can help a song go from a 7 to a 9, easy as pie. I'll use these two examples to demonstrate my thesis; the first from legendary British band The Kinks and the second by legendary 100 Metropolitan Avenue band Hayday.

[NOTE: grrrrrr....I had to remove The Kinks' Dead End Street due to copyright bullshit grrrr)
