Also by extension there are a lot of madrigals that do this type of thing as well (not that any leap to mind but many match the verse/chorus structure).

Thanks, HD. Was starting to dig through Christmas carols myself, since they're the oldest form of pop music I'm familiar with.

I definitely always preferred the "I'll be watching you" fadeout to U2's Rockstar Wail at the end of "With or Without You".

I'm fine with the verses of both songs but their choruses make me nauseous.

Those songs have no choruses!

So to be more specific, I get nauseous at

U2: "I can't live with or withoooooout you, aaaa-ha"

Police: "Oh, cant you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take"

Every Breath With or Without You because U2 The Police are shit and The Police U2 were quite good.

I'd rather mainline mercury than listen to either of these two songs.

thirteen years pass...

Big bill magill aside, ‘every breath you take’ sounds pretty good about now

These are both good songs frankly
