In popular music a verse roughly corresponds with a poetic stanza.Chorus is used to mean the refrain of a song, which often sharply contrasts the verse melodically, rhythmically, and harmonically, and assumes a higher level of dynamics and activity, often with added instrumentation.Sometimes this can be repeated at the end and at the beginning.In song writing, a bridge is an interlude that connects two parts of that song, building a harmonic connection between those parts.Normally you should have heard the verse at least twice.The bridge may then replace the 3rd verse or precede it.The chorus after the bridge is usually last and is often repeated in order to stress that it is final.Twelve bar blues and other chord progressions
