Lets build a bridge!

For this week, I was commissioned to write a bridge for Parker Silzer's song People We'll Never Know. My favorite part of this song is the lyrics, which really connected me and managed to say a lot without many words. I did not want to disrupt the narrative flow of the song, but since the song follows a more or less verse/verse/verse...etc pattern, I knew I had to add a section in the middle to give a little variation. I tried my best to write in the style of the song by using different lengths of time for some of the chords.

Bridge Chords: C-D-Gmaj7/C-Em-D-Cadd9, C-D-Gmaj7/C-Em-D-G


I can't explain why I just took off my coat and slept
I slept through the whole damn day

woke up at 6 and checked the mirror and fixed my hair
I'm expected somewhere at 8

Changed my plans and called up Sam and I guess we'll drive
in the summer's fading light

(bridge)
And if there’s silence in the air
We won’t be afraid to let it linger there
And if I have something to say
I know that the words won’t just drift away

The town's a bore but we'll explore all the countryside
where my favorite secrets hide

The roads are home to snow white horses and walls of stone
and people we'll never know

(bridge)
As the evening starts to grow
Bursting all moonlight and indigo
Its comes and goes so fast
But I’d say I’m at my most relaxed


Tonight I'll spend
With a few good friends
Laughing at lovers we've had and
We'll have again



Here is a recording I made...I'm still recovering from a cold so forgive the could-be-better vocals.

Err...well here WILL be a recording when our wiki lets me upload a file...stay tuned.
