Before I start, 2 things. First i know that this is not the most faithful definition of crescendo. Second this post is a month or so late, but whatever, I still want to write it. My house lost internet access for a few days before and after the concert I mentioned way back in my last post. Anyways, this post will be highlighting songs by Bright Eyes with a rising action.
A stylistic theme that runs through many of Bright Eyes' songs is a rising action culminating in the emotional apex, often followed by a steep decline. For a writer as emotional as he, this is a useful tactic for highlighting the main point of the song. Since all of it is emotional, the meat of the song needs to be differentiated.
