Bridge Too Far
Nothing to do with the film of the same name. This is my first contribution to TSF in a while. This one did unusually well on Soundcloud - I have no idea why. I don't cheat and buy plays.
Anyway, here you go - treat me kindly!
Bridge Too Far
Words and music ©2025 Chris Price
Climbing up the gangway, we’d said goodbye for the very last time
She waved me off under a shepherd’s sky, it was enough to make a grown man cry
Along the river deep n wide, our love it cannot be denied
She is my shinin’ star, however good we are, it’s gotta be - gotta be a bridge too far
As my ship sailed out to sea, my heart’s still beatin’ for her and me
What was I thinkin’, why was I runnin’, some things just ain't meant to be
Maybe I can turn the tide, I feel so empty deep inside
She is my shinin’ star, however good we are, well it’s gotta be a bridge too far
What in the world was I thinking, why did I break her heart
For a new life across the pond, for all the love in the world - it’s got to be a bridge too far
I saw the Liberty Bell, when my ship came in man I felt like hell
But she took a plane, first class as well, and straight into her arms I fell
Got a hotel near Broadway, the things we did, well I just can’t tell
She is my shinin’ star, however good we are, it’s gotta be - gotta be a bridge too far

Great rock sound. The story in the lyrics is simple enough for the listener to follow without having to work - important in a rock song, I think🙂
Great stuff, Chris!0 -
Don't forget, when you go on tour I play your bass parts, Crispy. 😁

Spot on Mr. Price - as good a rocker as is out there - very enjoyable.

My first review on this forum.
I like the way that the song tells a story and goes from negative to positive feelings. It has the feel of being based on an emotional experience which gives it a great sense of authenticity.
The performance adds another dimension to the lyrics and particularly the effective Hook based on the song title. I can see why it got a lot of plays.
