What is a bridge? If
you were thinking in music terms or in anything else, it is something that
connects two areas together.
In addition, from a music standpoint, the bridge offers something
different (both musically and lyrically) to catapult with motion from one
section to another.
Musically, bridges offer harmonic variation, rhythmic
contrast, new melodic movement, modulation, etc. Lyrically, bridges might contain a change in
character focus, a change in timeline, or inclusion of in-depth detail on the
subject/story.
Basically, offer something new when you want to include a
bridge into the song.
