Classical music is popular music.
It's just that most people don't know it.
I think classical music is pop music.
It just needs people who are able to convey it in that way.
And I think that's what the greatest classical musicians do.
They make it pop, they make it accessible, they make it understandable, they make it down to earth.
They make these composers into like real people who walked the earth and had their stuff that they were dealing with every day.

These are two iconic moments where the artists are actually calling out one of the signature sections of the modern pop song, the bridge.
And today we're going to devote the fourth and final installment of our series on song structure, the art of the song, to this element, which in a lot of songs is only a small part of it.
