Q: how would you call that section in "got to know what's going on" right before the last choruses? the bit that goes "open the door, cuz i got to know what we came here for, whatever it is i'll believe it". it doesn't "feel" like part of the bridge since it imitates the verse, chorus and prechorus sections. my best guess would be to call it a "summary" but that's not a musical term afaik
A: i just call it a 'quiet verse.' i've never found a better name for it. it specifically means the verse that occurs nearing the end of the song, after at least 2 choruses have happened and usually after the bridge if there is one. the dynamic drops low, it mimics the verse, and very often jumps back up to a high dynamic to usher into the last chorus(s). very standard technique. in this case we've used a half-length-verse, and also a half-length pre-chorus.
