From the bridge

“From the bridge we’ll watch it all,
The rush the rise, the calm the fall
And into it all, our toes, we will dip
We’ll dance, we’ll sing, we’ll sit, we’ll sip…”
This is our humble attempt to bring strings of soul and folk prose to the whole, grand Unfold. An acoustic groove to suit those hip to Dylan, Harper, Marley, et al., whether you feel like a little swing, sway, or stepping slow, this is what flows From the Bridge.
And while we’re continually floored by the coolness of those on-board, when it comes to an intricate explanation as to some grand formula, plan, or process behind the music, with deepest apologies, we’re likely to be little more than mum.
See, as we embrace the less-than-lyrical saying that there ain’t no “fish on a wall with its mouth shut”, Mike, James, Peter and I are pretty content to not meddle or mess with any Muse that happens our way. As Aldous Huxley said, “After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music”. This also works the other way ‘round.
To us, poetry paired with a little melody rarely needs any extra coddling or handling other than the simple planting of the seed. Then...it’s Ms. Nature’s...and what need be.
Just as a bridge, music need not only be a place of idle passing, or merely a point of connection, but also a spot to stop and share a moment with another, looking out in the same direction.
Sincerely,
