Songs About Bridges

Looking through some photos tonight I found this photo, which reminded me of our earlier conversation about Bridges.

Auckland, NZ - May 2007

So -- let's start a list of songs about Bridges. Because I can't come up with any that talk about being terrified of Bridges, (Or, for that matter, crazy little brothers who Bungee off of them...) so I might need to write one.

Burning Bridges - Brooks & Dunn

We'll Burn That Bridge - Brooks & Dunn Hmm... maybe they have a phobia too?

Which Bridge to Cross, Which Bridge To Burn - Vince Gill

London Bridge -- does that count?

  1. Neko Case has a song called "Mood to Burn Bridges," but it's of course not literally about bridges ;-)

    Bridge Over Troubled Water is a classic, but again not really so much about bridges.

    So I guess I have nothing truly useful to contribute. I tried!

  8. Todd Bridges? Oh yeah, you're looking for songs with the word "bridges" in it. Not 80's sitcom has-beens. My bad! :-)

  9. Here I figured someone would bring up the song "Anonymous"...

    Welcome to the newbie posters - nice to have you! Chris -- are you my longtime Jax Comcast lurker? :-)

    My favorites so far are "Love Can Build A Bridge" (DUH! How did I forget that one!) and "Seven Bridges Road."

    Jen -- did you sell the house on MacMurray? We drove by there yesterday and didn't see a sign.

    Random amusing note -- I had a site visitor from Stillwater, OK today. They got here by googling Carrie Underwood.

    (Have you seen the bridge?)/ I ain't seen the bridge!/ (Where's that confounded bridge?)

    -Led Zeppelin, 'The Crunge'

  16. Only a months late, but isn't the B&D song called "Building Bridges", not burning them?

    "Bridge Over Jordan" recorded by many different gospel artists...
