The Form of the Song
"Animal" is a single from Neon Trees' 2010 album, Habits.c
The form of "Animal" is, for the most part, typical for a pop song. However, the form is unique in the sense that every section, though frequently separated by short breaks or pauses, flows seamlessly and swiftly into the next. The intro section and the second half of the bridge section have the same chord progression, which features a high guitar line over the chords. The outro is a variation on the chords and melody ("Oh oh...") of the chorus and ends with the second half of a chorus.
The form of the song follows this pattern:
- Intro
- Verse 1
- Chorus 1
- Verse 2
- Chorus 2
- Bridge
- Chorus 3
- Outro
