I could also end the chorus with a pivot chord, but then theres no breather between it and the verse. So, if you can count the sets of 8, youve found the beat. But, for example, if my chorus ends then could I tack on 2 bars to change to the key the verse is in? Or does this have to match half the length of the verse if I tack something on? (which seems a bit long for changing key to my ear) I've recently been learning some music theory to improve my song-writing, and am looking to modulate to different keys. I don't have that sense for timing - to know that there are still 2 bars left after the solo before the next section should begin.
The goal for most pop songs is to be within the 2-4 minute. Maybe the first chorus is most effective with only the first 4 bars while the rest of the choruses are played out in full. As you saw in the time signature examples above, each time signature has two. The chorus usually appears 3 or 4 times throughout the average pop song, and remember there is always room for variation if you have 3 or 4 choruses to get through. I'm in that group of people who, while singing in church, attempt to start a verse or chorus on the wrong beat because the melody _sounds_ like its going to start up the next section. The number of notes allowed in each measure is determined by the time signature. Unfortunately I don't think I can trust my own ear. Or maybe all the song sections are aligned on 8-bar boundaries. all the main sections then align on a 4-bar boundary. Here are some well-known songs that I’ve mapped out in Ableton Live Arrangement View. Maybe theres 4 bars 'call', 4 bars of 'response' and then a chorus totaling 8 bars. Songs typically build on some number of bars per 'section'.
