This one is a bit particular in that, even though it's a pop song, it's not the typical A-B-A-B structure. I wanted to do something more linear here and am very happy with the way that it turned out.
I had tried to do something like this on an earlier album, but with not nearly as successful a final result. The earlier one came off more as something with a standard pop structure, but with an abrupt and extended bridge section.
This one I think that I nailed... it's more:
A-A-B-C-D
