We’ll Cross That Bridge When We Get To It…

I was watching the DVD of Elton’s 60th at Madison Square Garden yesterday.

One of the gems of that marathon concert was a newer song, The Bridge. Off his and Bernie’s “The Captain & The Kid” album, released in 2006. I have the album, and gave it a listen when I first bought it. I then put it away.

Yesterday was the first time I heard the song since that first listen two years ago… and I guess I was finally ready to hear it.

The Bridge (Taupin/John)

Chorus:
And every one of us has to face that day
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away
And every one of us that ever came to play
Has to cross the bridge or fade away

When Bernie got on stage to wish Elton a Happy Birthday, he said it usually would take hell and horses to get him on stage, but that hell and horses could be the only things to keep him off that night…

We writers, we’re usually the ones in the back of the room… Most times, people don’t even know who we are. But I’ve been starting to put myself out there — push myself out there, against my protective reflex. And actually, it feels pretty good.
