Thread Name: Repeating first verse at the end
Subject: RE: Repeating first verse at the end
Why repeat?

1. The song's not long enough.

2. People want to know when the song's over. There are a lot of ways we signal that, and repeating the first verse is simply one of them.

3. We tend to put the most important elements of a song at the beginning, and repeating the first verse brings them back into prominence.
