Dear Diary - Britney Spears, Jason Blume, Eugene Wilde Structure, harmony, rhythm, melody, lyrics, arrangement, production,

feel, texture
1. DIARY STRUCTURE - Weird song, not really a chorus song. If you consider the B section part of the Verse, it could be a Verse, Verse, Verse, song. That has prosody to it, because a diary is just a person drawling out verse after verse of thoughts and feelings. Actually I downloaded the sheet music and it doesn't consider it a B-section, in the lyrics section it calls the whole thing a Verse. So it is Verse Verse Verse. 2. I like the complex harmony, they use like every harmony trick in the book. Line Cliches, walk downs, Tritone substitution and rich chords. 3. Like how the lyric progresses like a story, like in a diary. SO MUCH PROSODY in this song. Structure 1. Diary Structure 2.
