I must have got better at it, because many more of my songs have them now than don't. I used to write punk(ish) songs, which rarely have a bridge, but the newer songs are more pop (even if garage-y or jangly).<br /><br />I find I use them more for musical variation than lyrical contrast. Might just be me. With Lennon-McCartney, I think sometimes their bridges were like that because they really fused two different songs together -- the Paul part and the John part (which I think might be true of "We Can Work It Out").VĂ©ro Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895169022031921712noreply@blogger.com
