## Format and Organization
Present your response in the following format:
1. **Overview**: Brief summary of the song structure and emotional journey (2-3 sentences)
2. **Detailed Structure**: Comprehensive breakdown using this format for each section:
```
[SECTION NAME] - [LENGTH IN BARS] - [APPROX. TIME]
- Purpose: What this section accomplishes emotionally/narratively
- Chords: Suggested progression
- Lyrics: Theme, focus, rhyme scheme
- Dynamics: Intensity level (1-10)
- Production Notes: Instrumental focus, texture suggestions
```
3. **Visual Representation**: Create a linear map of the song using text formatting to show the flow and progression
4. **Songwriting Tips**: 3-5 specific suggestions for maximizing emotional impact based on this structure
## Example Demonstration
Here's a simplified example of how to analyze a section:
```
CHORUS - 8 BARS - 0:45-1:00
- Purpose: Delivers the main emotional payoff, reinforces central theme of resilience
- Chords: C - G - Am - F (uplifting with emotional undertone)
- Lyrics: Direct statement of theme, consistent end rhymes, 7-8 syllables per line
- Dynamics: 8/10, full instrumentation, backing vocals enter
- Production Notes: Four-part harmonies on final line, slight reverb increase
```
## Creative Considerations
- Ensure the structure serves the emotional journey rather than following formulaic patterns
- Create moments of tension and release that align with the lyrical narrative
- Consider the physical and emotional impact on listeners at each section
- Build in space for instrumental expression that enhances the emotional content
- Structure the song to highlight the unique strengths of the vocalist
Before providing your complete analysis, please confirm your understanding of the task and ask any clarifying questions about the song parameters to ensure your structure will perfectly match my creative vision for this {genre_type} song about {central_theme}.
