who wrote the bridge
The phrase “who wrote the bridge” is a bit vague on its own, but in most music-related contexts people are usually asking about a specific song called “The Bridge” or “Bridge over Troubled Water,” not about a generic song section. Here are the most likely things you might be referring to:
- Bridge over Troubled Water
- Song: “Bridge over Troubled Water” by Simon & Garfunkel.
- Writer: Paul Simon wrote the song.
- Under the Bridge
- Song: “Under the Bridge” by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
- Writer: The lyrics were written by vocalist Anthony Kiedis.
- The Bridge (Elton John)
- Song: “The Bridge” (from Elton John’s “Jewel Box” era material).
- Writer: Elton John composed the music; as with most of his work, the lyricist is Bernie Taupin, though credit is shared per standard Elton John–Bernie Taupin authorship.
- The Bridge Song (Dishwalla)
- Song: “The Bridge Song” by Dishwalla.
- Writers: Credited writers include Alexander, J. Richards, Wood, Browning, and Pendergast.
Because “who wrote the bridge” could mean any of these (or even “who wrote the bridge section of [some song]”), you’ll get the best answer if you clarify which song, artist, or context you mean—for example:
- “Who wrote the song ‘Under the Bridge’?”
- “Who wrote ‘Bridge over Troubled Water’?”
- “Who wrote Elton John’s ‘The Bridge’?”
If you tell me the exact song or artist you have in mind, I can narrow it down precisely.
