Can we officially say that Madonna writes the best bridges ever?

I want to be where the sun warms the sky
when it's time for siesta you can watch them go by
Beautiful faces, no cares in this world
where a girl loves a boy and a boooooooooy *pause* loves a girl.

Best melody ever

If I ran away, I'd never have the strength
To go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart
Will it grow cold
The secret that I hide, will I grow old
How will they hear
When will they learn
How will they know
:drama:

the best piece in pop music. this is out of this world brilliant. when she's singing it live on the confessions tour :o a masterpiece!

YES !!!!!!! She does write amazing bridges and this is one of my absolute favorites.

Also this:

Famous faces, far off places

Trinkets I can buy

No handsome stranger, heady danger

Drug that I can try

No Ferris wheel, no heart to steal

No laughter in the dark

No one night stand, no far off land

No fire that I can spark

Not only for the great lyrics but the way it builds to the final belted note . Just WOW!

So, after reading all those bridges i finally grasped Madonna's trick. The bridges are always either INDREDIBLY EMPOWERING or hide loads of ANGISH. Especially in the 2 last sentences.

It's like in a book, where the plot is building and suddenly comes the moment where it explodes and you feel satisfied. The bridge is where the song explodes.

Just look at the 2 last sentences of the bridges.

Most of my faves have been mentioned, I tend to lean toward the TB era bridges......they just make me feel warm and fuzzy.......

I see the look in your eyes

I know you're hurting inside

Let me try.....

I hope you find what you're looking for.....

Don't be afraid to try

Just let me love you for a while.....

If I ran away....

I don't know if this is a bridge but I've always liked the "Ba da da da da.....bop da da da" part in Spotlight

I don't wanna keep the bright flame
Of your ego going
So I'll just stop blowin' in the wind
To love you is a sin
Adios

"Bye Bye Baby" is not too bad either. I've always thought that bridge was the climax of the song.

I remember when
You were the one
You were my friend
You gave me life
You were the sun
You taught me things
I didn't run
I fell to my knees
I didn't know why
I started to breathe
I wanted to cry
I need a reminder
So I can relate
I need to go back there
Before it's too late

It's time to get your hands up
It's time to get your body grooving

" Incredible" is definitely amongst her best!!!

Nothing takes the past away

Like the future

Nothing makes the darkness go

Like the light

:dramatic:

This has been my favorite quote in different sites since NRM came out...

And inside, We`re all still wet.

Longing and yearning,

how can I explain how I feel.......

Travelling travelling..........

One of Madonna`s shortest bridges.. but it says so much with so little....

This song still sounds ahead of its time, even today... One of the best videos ever conceived..

If Gaga truly wants to get insight into how to really marry art and music together cohesively, and actually create something profound and thought provoking, she needs this video on repeat....!

Beauty's where you find it

Not just where you bump and grind it

Soul is in the musical

That's where I feel so beautiful

Magical, life's a ball

So get up on the dance floor

:drama:

:drama: is right! How did we get this far into this thread before this was mentioned?? AMAZING.

Another one of my favorite bridges is from "I fucked up" I love the lyrics but also the sudden tempo change, it's genius.

We 'coulda bought a house with a swimming pool,

Filled it up with Warhols, it would be so cool,

'Coulda gone riding stallions in the country side,

With a pack of great danes, racing eye to eye,

We 'coulda toured the world in a private jet,

Run naked on the beach, all soaking wet,

We 'coulda climbed the mountains,

Seen the perfect sunrise,

Written our names across the sky,

We 'coulda gotten drunk and driven on the Autobahn,

We could 'av got ourselves arrested in St. Germain,

We 'coulda lived life crazy 'til the day we died,

Instead I made you cry,

This is a great bridge. My favorite part of the song.

YES! Especially how there are layered vocals here, with 2 different melodies. When this song was new, I used to love to use the equalizer on my stereo and listen to only the left speaker, then only the right, to hear the different melodies by themselves.

I learned to let go of the illusion that we can possess

I learned to let go, I travel in stillness

And I'll remember happiness

I'll remember

What about "I'll remember"??

Yes! I've always loved the line-"I travel in stillness" - beautiful!

If I only had one wish

Love would always feel like this

Wishing on the stars above

Forbidden love

If I only had one dream

This would be more than it seems

Forbidden love

:inlove:

Well, in fact, that bridge is written by Bjork. She has some kind of song that has parts of the Bedtime Story, and she sings precisely that part.

I always thought the lyrics were:

We 'coulda gotten drunk and driven on the Autobahn,

We could 'av got ourselves arrested and sort it out.

In any event, I love that bridge too.

also thanks for clearing up which one is the bridge, I like both parts though.

That part of the song gives me shivers. When a relationship ends and you are still loving that other person, all you can think for days and days, weeks... it's everything that you wont' ever do with that person, all the things that weren't completed, all the plans that no longer matter. it's beautiful

I'll never forgive M for cutting that bridge from the S&S and MDNA tour versions.... :(

I have to say, Spotlight is a song that never really got its full appreciation. it really is a great song. wish it was on True Blue. Also I wish the original version would leak.
