I wrote this 'Taylor Swift Songwriting Appreciation' article that is gonna get published on Yahoo and lists my top ten favorite bridges with a few comments on each one of them, so I'd like to know yours too  |
I was actually thinking of this earlier.
Heres mine
10. Love Story - The story, the banjo, the building energy. Perfection. I said Romeo save me Ive been feeling so alone I've been waiting boy I thought you'd never come is this in my head I don't know what to think he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
9. Sparks Fly- That beat going along with the words. Run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild. Just keep on keeping your eyes on me its just wrong enough to make it feel right. And lead me up the staircase won't you whisper soft and slow? I'm captivated by you baby like a firework show.
That last line gets me
8. Innocent- the most intricate use of wordings ever just give beautiful imagery to the idea of forgiveness and time healing. Time turns flames to embers, you'll have new septembers every one of us has messed up too. Lives change like the weather I hope you remember, today is never too late to be brand new.
7. Cold as You - Just perfect images of desperation and letting go that just wraps up the song so beautifully. You never did give a damn thing honey but I cried, cried for you. And I know you wouldn't have told nobody if I died, died for you. Died for you.
6. Better than Revenge- Just the attitude, the vibe, the pure ENERGY emitting in the second half of the song is just crazy. I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey, you might have him but haven't you heard? I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey, you might have him but I always get the last word. Woooaaaahhh Cant take it back? What? SHES not a saint and shes NOT what you think shes an ACTRESS wooooAHHHH she deserves this, shes better known for the things that she does on the mattress.... come on show me how much better you are, so much better yeah? I think you deserve some applause, cause your SO MUCH BETTER.
5. Enchanted- Just such a feeling of Euphoria in the bridge takes the song so much higher and huger, even though the song before seemed to not be able to get that much bigger. The bridge takes it above and beyond. This is me praying that, this was the very first page, not where the storyline ends, my thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again, these are the words I held as I was leaving too soon. I was Enchanted to meet you.
4. Last Kiss- The breakup song to end all breakup songs includes the bridge to end all bridges. This song as a whole just takes the feeling of a breakup and turns it into open heart surgery, and the bridge is just the turning of the knife. You WILL cry even if you've never been through a breakup. So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep, and I'll feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe. And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are. Hope its nice where you are. And I hope the sun shines and its a beautiful day, and something reminds you, you wish you had stayed, you can plan for a change in the weather and time, but I never planned on you changing your mind.
3. Dear John- The ulimate, mature way of just being done with someone. Realizing who they truly are truly comes to a head in the bridge, and its just ..... you know! The imagery, is just breathtakingly poetic and true. You are an expert at sorry, and keeping lines blurry, never impressed by me acing your tests all the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes cuz you burned them out. But I took your matches before fire could catch me so don't look now. I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town.
2. Long Live- One of my favorite lines of all time comes in this bridge. The bond of a band/friends/fans/anyone Taylor just flawlessly and effortlessly portrays and in such a poetic way its just so beautiful. Will you take a moment, promise me this, that you'll stand by me forever, but if God forbid fate should step in, and force us into a goodbye, if you have children someday, when they point to the pictures, please tell them my name. Tell them how the crowds went wild, tell them how I hope they shine. Long Live the walls we crashed through, I had the time of my life, with you.
1. All Too Well- You knew it was coming. The bridge (or bridges?) of this song are just unlike any other. It just takes you on such an emotional roller coaster that only Taylor can take you on. If the perfect lyrics weren't enough the entire song builds up to this climax, and the pure emotion can just be felt so easily, it truly is heartbreaking. Maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much, but maybe this thing was a masterpiece, til you tore it all up. Running scared I was there I remember it all too well. Hey you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest I'm a crumbled up piece of paper lying here, cause I remember it all, all all, too well. Time won't fly its like I'm paralyzed by it, I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it, after plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own, now you mail back my things and I walk home alone. But you keep my old scarf from that very first week, cause it reminds you of innocence, and it smells like me, you can't get rid of it, cause you remember it all too well.

1) Last Kiss - ill watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep and ill feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe 
2) Enchanted please don't be in love with someone else please don't have somebody waiting on you
3) All Too Well Maybe we got lost in translation maybe I asked for too much, but maybe this thing was a masterpiece till ya tore it all up
4) Sad Beautiful Tragic Distance, Timing, breakdown, fighting, silence, the train runs off its tracks, kiss me, try to fix it, could you just try to listen? hang up, give up. For the life of us we can't get back
5) Superstar You played in bars, you play guitar, I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are. Youll never see, you sing me to sleep every night from the radio
Enchanted and ATW were so damn close, it's not even funny. Same thing with SBT and Superstar. She'll always be remembered for her bridges they're all soo damn flawless.

Last Kiss, Enchanted, Dear John, Long Live, All Too Well are the best. Add MINE, Love Story, and maybe one other single because it's good to include at least one or two songs the average person will have heard of.

@BlessedSwift: I told Taylor I didn't have many friends growing up and she was the only friend I had she said " I know what that's like but look at us now"

Who let Pigrez in the arena 
He didn't say anything bad about Taylor did he? Atleast it seems like he actually likes her. The things he did to Kesha and Miley among others tho...
