  1. To me, it does still count as one whole story, even if there's no segue between tracks. I think it's just an artistic choice to use segues. I think even if the songs start and stop on their own, they can still point back to the big theme of the album ?

  2. Usually the songs on an album are the result of an artist's creations during a season of life. This means the songs can all speak to a similar set of themes, ideas and topics. So the aim of an album name is to try and sum up the big story/concept that all the songs pull from when they were written. It's not always like these, especially today. But traditionally, an album is like a "book" with the songs inside being like "chapters." Fun stuff! (I think ?)

  3. This was awesome ?. I’ve been writing a bit but felt a bit lost with structuring songs. This really really helped I’m getting some good ideas thinking about how I’ll structure my songs now and it feels much less daunting to write new material now. I’m autistic so it really helps to have some sort of structure whenever I try to get creative or I find myself just kinda either firing blindly in the dark or just haphazardly trauma dumping lol. You’ve helped me out a ton thank you ?
