What is a "middle eight"?
A middle eight refers to a section of a song, typically found in the middle of the structure, that contrasts with the verses and chorus. It is usually eight bars long and serves as a bridge or transition between different parts of the song. This section often introduces a new melody or lyrics, providing a fresh element before returning to the main themes of the song. The middle eight adds variety and helps to develop the song's overall structure.
