It has a little bit more of a sting now.
That sentiment, good luck, babe.
It's more potent than it was before that bridge somehow.
That's the category of bridges that introduce some kind of new depth to a song.
Then I feel like there's another category where the bridge becomes its own kind of universe.
One contemporary artist who's really good at doing this is the singer-songwriter Maisie Peters.
She is kind of known for writing these epic bridges that sometimes become the focal point of the song.
A sterling example is her 2020 track, I'm Trying, Not Friends.
Bridge.
It feels like it should have ended right now, but it's still going.
It's an odd bridge because it feels like it goes on a lot longer than it should.
But I think that's exactly the point.
It's kind of the fulcrum of the song.
It might actually have a more powerful message than the chorus itself.
And this is known to happen from time to time in popular music.
A bridge might kind of outshine the other aspects of the song.
Take an example that was actually selected by Billboard magazine as the greatest bridge of the 21st century a few years ago.
It is none other than Hey Ya by Outkast.
One of the original memes, shake it like a Polaroid picture.
I'm definitely not here to impugn the legendary chorus of Hey Ya, but in some ways this bridge with its imperative of shake it like a Polaroid picture might be like the most famous part of this song.
