A song that gained significant attention and became a worldwide hit in the mid-'90s was notable for its lack of a traditional chorus. Songwriters initially resisted suggestions to add lyrics to the chorus.
The chorus, despite being wordless, was considered effective as it provided commentary on the song's verses, fulfilling the function of a chorus. Originally reported by MusicRadar.
