Song Structure Tags

[Ascending progression]
A chord sequence that steadily rises (by pitch, key center, or harmonic “lift”) to create forward momentum.

[Anticipatory lyrics]
Lines that “lean ahead” by hinting at what’s coming next, creating expectation before the reveal or hook.

[Atmospheric shift]
A noticeable change in mood, space, or sonic environment (reverb, pads, noise, ambience) to mark a new section.

[Bridge modulation]
A key change that happens in (or because of) the bridge to refresh the song and raise emotional stakes.

[Brightening harmonies]
Harmony choices that feel more open or hopeful (often moving to major colors, higher voicings, or clearer consonance).

[Build-up dynamics]
A gradual increase in volume, density, or intensity that prepares the listener for a drop, chorus, or peak.

[Climactic theme]
The central musical or lyrical idea delivered at maximum impact, usually near the song’s high point.

[Circle of fifths]
Progression that moves through keys/chords by perfect fifths, creating strong pull and satisfying resolution.

[Diatonic pivot]
A smooth section-to-section shift using a chord that naturally belongs to both the starting and destination key.

A melodic line that steps downward to signal release, calm, resignation, or falling tension.

[Emotional climax]
The moment where feeling peaks, often combining the strongest lyric with the biggest musical lift.

[Enharmonic modulation]
A key change achieved by re-spelling a note/chord (e.g., G♭ becomes F#) to pivot into a new tonal area.

[Evocative cue]
A specific musical gesture (sound, chord, riff, rhythm) that instantly signals a mood, scene, or meaning.

[Falling tension]
A release phase where conflict eases (simpler harmony, softer dynamics, fewer elements, more consonance).

[Flattened tone]
A slightly lowered pitch color (often ♭3/♭6/♭7) that gives a bluesy, moody, or darker emotional tint.
