A chorus is the part of the song that keeps coming back. This part of the
song usually includes the song title and summarizes the main idea of the
lyric. It is also usually the emotional high point—the most intense part of
the lyric.
Title Line
“T” represents the title
Swing Line
This is simply a line that is different than the title. The dash “-”
represents the swing line.
The title line and the swing line can contrast both lyrically and
melodically.
