Looking for songs that build and build but then surprise you by arriving at a gentle, quiet moment instead of a big climax
After the quiet moment, it can stay quiet or be big again. That’s not important. It’s the sudden emotional shift from intense to gentle that I’m looking for.
It’s very specific, I know, but I’m writing a song that does this and I’m looking for other models of how this is effectively accomplished.
Thanks!
