5240 Song #26: That Bridge Won't Come Down

5240 Song #26 (for June 29, 2009):

That Bridge Won't Come Down

If this isn't the "Wild Honey Pie" of this project, I don't know what would be.

Check out the Bandcamp.com listing for this track for lyrics and stuff.

Thank you for listening! PLEASE consider posting a comment by clicking the comments link below! Thank you, and I'll see you next week!

UPDATE, Tuesday Morning (PST): If you downloaded this yesterday, you may want to download again. For the first time in this project, I didn't get the finished version of this song to Darin for mastering in time to get it posted here Monday morning, so yesterday was a "home-brew" master of my own. The current version linked to above is the now-mastered-by-Darin version (the Bandcamp version is also updated).

I have no idea why you put this mood and these lyrics together. Very strange indeed.
Is that Lucy making her entrance as recording artist, or does she have to make her entrance as human yet?

I like the slow vibe as ending of the Spring collection, starting of with Snow Day.

I can't get my head around this one yet, but it does sound as something that will grow on me.

Cool ending to the second volume. Really interesting vibe. This reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what.

Lucy has yet to make her entrance. Any day now - I'm supposed to go to LA this weekend to meet her for the first time, but she is stubbornly refusing to come out (so far). Sounds like she'll fit into my family just fine. ;-)

The crying baby and the broadcast emergency test go well together. As I'm sure Lucy will demonstrate, babies will cry endlessly sometimes when there is nothing identifiably wrong. Used to drive me nutso.

I can't help but connect the lyric to the fact that this bridges the midway point of 5240. I'm sure that wasn't intended, but nice to hear that it won't come down. haw haw haw!

I listened to this a few times today both before and after listening to Ki and this fits so nicely in that space.

Hi,

I've been finding myself concentrating mostly on the lyrics as well. I think it's their presentation that almost forces one to give them "deeper" consideration. Whatever it is, it works.

If you're a downloader, you might want to re-grab this one as of Tuesday morning: I got the Darin-mastered version this AM, and have now replaced yesterday's "mastered by me" version with DDP's. This is the first time in six months I got the song to him too late to get turned around before the posting deadline.

A bit disturbing, this one. The noise of a crying baby really annoys me, and I find that a bit distracting.
