Day 6: A song with a great bridge

Should come as a surprise to nobody who knows me well, but a song with the line:

“Never thought I'd see the day
When a big boat coming my way
Believe me when I say
I fucked a mermaid, whoah”

in the bridge is topping my list.

Day 6: A song with a great bridge
I'm not sure I'd call it a great bridge, but it looks like it's at least a pretty good bridge. I'd cross it.

Day 4: A song that is unreleased or B-side
Missed this one the other day.
It’s funny, the prompt was going to be just unreleased songs and then I added the b-side for people who would have trouble with unreleased. Turns out everyone just went with the b-side.
I’m going with unreleased! This has been played at concerts in the last section of his tour. Likely to be on his next album.

Day 6, song with a great bridge-
Creedence, Ramble Tamble, about two minutes in. Effigy, another great song of theirs with a bridge, but it’s more of a minor foot bridge across an abandoned canal somewhere
TGI FUCKING EFFFFF Everyone!!

 

[Dalelaw2164]

Ahhaha. Of all the alt lyrics when this came out, this one was the winner

Anyway

Day 6: A song with a great bridge

This one's so all over the place I can't tell what's bridge and what's verse but it's great. 10/10 good hobo-ing. More videos need random ladydemons.

Day 6: A song with a great bridge

Timing is everything. This song, about a couple breaking up due to one partner refusing to deal with their substance abuse issues, dropped as a single the same day Amy Lee's ex-boyfriend and Seether lead singer, Shaun Morgan, checked himself into rehab. You can't write that stuff. But it gave Lee, who had written about the same thing before, but metaphorically, the freedom to say "yes, that was exactly what I meant."

And she saves the title drop for the bridge, an epic move. The piano, the guitars, everything except a spare snare beat drops out as Lee belts out the line and turns the word "sober" into a polysyllabic slap in the face of her ex for drunk dialing her when he chooses to be absent the rest of the time. And that little vocal hook at the end of the word? Perfect, icy rage. It is a beautiful thing.

"Call Me When You're Sober," Evanescence

Day 6: A song with a great bridge

I think most American boys who were adolescents in the 90s know where they were when they heard:

Dear Daddy,
I write to you
In spite of years of silence.
You've cleaned up,
Found Jesus
Things are good
or so I hear...

Day 4: A song that is unreleased or B-side

Obviously, it's hard to do this for 'unreleased' songs, 20 years past the real height of music/file swapping, now that bands release lots of stuff they may not have in the past. So I'm going with this B-side, which probably in a different time could have warranted it's own single. I actually have a 45 of this floating around here, which was actually the Come As You Are single. And then a while back they put out the whole At The Paramount show, and now I have that too. And this fits so beautifully into that Nevermind-era set list.

My favorite nonsensical anthem of a bridge was already taken by @Mr_bogey so I had to broaden my horizons.

Great choice, oddly I appreciate pop music more now than when I was younger and tried to pretend I was any kind of cool and Lady Gaga makes great pop music.

Day 6: A song with a great bridge

I know Taylor Swift is not universally loved here... But there are some songs that she's written that just hit me - and so many of her songs have such good bridges. She's a fabulous lyricist. Her songs are poetry set to a melody... She got me through my divorce years ago so I will always be a loyal fan girl.

You love what you love why you love it. And she can write and perform very well. I appreciate her earlier stuff more, but don't hate her at all.
