Shape of Stories
My diagram shows the story and sound of the song "Someone You Loved". The feelings throughout the song develop at the begining in the first and second verse explaining that he can't deal with the pain and the feelings he still has. This pain is reenforced with a build up to the chorus where the pain is getting worse and he needs the person here. The bridge is essentially the climax where a breakdown occurs, emotions are fully present, and the sound becomes a cry for the person he loved. Then the ending chorus wraps the song together lowering, heightening, then lowering the notes again, a feeling that he does not know what is to come next.
