Make your bridge an instrumental

“

- Make your bridge an instrumental. Something else you can do if you've said everything you need to say lyrically in the verses and choruses of your song is to make your bridge an instrumental. Again, you're creating a song with three parts, but you're using your instrumental bridge as a place where the listener can stop, and reflect on what you've already said while also enjoying a new musical section. I think you'd be surprised at how often hit song lyrics have fewer words than you ever imagined.
