Songs should never have bridges
When listening to songs, you have the verses, where usually most of the content and meaning is located. In addition, you have choruses, which is when a song hits its peak(s) and are often the catchiest part of the song. Choruses and verses are what define songs. Besides those, sometimes you have an intro, leading up to the verse, a pre-chorus, to prepare for the chorus and build it up. All are understandable. I even enjoy guitar/sax/drum solos a lot.
But then you have bridges, a part that is totally anti-climactic to the song, it is completely off pace, with a totally different vibe than the rest of the song, they make me cringe and look forward to the song ending. I'd rather have songs 1 minute shorter than to have to go through bridges, and I wish Spotify has a feature to just skip bridges to go to the next part.
Any random song I can think of that has a bridge, that will be the worst part of the song, and the song will be much better without it:
>Sweet dreams - eurythmics
>Yellow - Coldplay
>This love - maroon 5
>The man who can't be moved - the script
>Dreams - the cranberries
>Love me like there's no tomorrow - Freddy Mercury
This is just from the top of my head....and if you think it's just one genre, this even applies to rap and hip-hop...like Kendrick's "not like us" or "squabble up"
