The time of each song is basically 3 to 5 minutes. This does not mean that music cannot be made longer, but it means that nowadays, to cater to people’s listening habits, they are basically stuck at 4 minutes. Around this time, everyone will listen to a song more freshly, so music is gradually entering an era of fragmentation, which is normal.

If a song lasts more than 5 minutes, everyone will think that the song is a little too long, and the lyrics of the song are generally not particularly particular. It is just a song. The point is Paying attention to rhythm and lyrics are of course also important, but the lyrics basically follow this cover pattern. Sing it the first time, sing it the second time, and sing it the third time. There are many repetitions of this commission, and if It's said to be 3 to 5 minutes, which basically means repeating it once. It's even fine if it's not repeated. But for a song that's over 5 minutes long, it's too difficult to not repeat a single line of lyrics.

Now everyone feels that the time of 3 to 5 minutes is acceptable, because generally speaking, the song is about 4 minutes, starting from the front tune of the music, and then gradually entering the environment of the song, slowly It slowly reaches the climax, which is about one minute, two minutes, or three minutes. These are the three points. Generally speaking, a song has 2 to 3 climax points, so that it will sound more fresh to everyone. Feeling, if a song is sung for 10 minutes, it is either an older song, or it is simply a mashup. In the past 5 years or so, few songs can be sung for 8 or even 10 minutes. The above.

Music has entered a fragmented era because people’s browsing of information is now fragmented. If you expect people to listen to music in a completely complete way, it is impossible for people to listen to music in the same way now. My habit is to browse some short video apps to see what music recommendations there are. This music recommendation is basically a small climax that lasts about 15 seconds. Then after you listen to this part, what do you think about this song? It sounds good, and then you go look for it yourself. This is how you listen. You don’t listen to the song from beginning to end to find it good. You just listen to part of it. This way of finding songs is doomed. Yes, listening to music is a fragmented process.

The form of music may become more flexible and changeable, but when music enters the era of fragmentation, it is almost certain that the time to listen to a song is about 4 minutes, and a short song may only last 3 minutes. There are very few songs that can break 5 minutes, because this puts forward very high requirements for the lyrics and the singer's ability to control the song. If the time is relatively short, the difficulty will be reduced a lot.
