Bridge Too Far
Words and music ©2025 Chris Price
Climbing up the gangway, we'd said goodbye for the very last time
She waved me off under a shepherd's sky, it was enough to make a grown man cry
Along the river deep n wide, our love it cannot be denied
She is my shinin' star, however good we are, it's gotta be - gotta be a bridge too far
As my ship sailed out to sea, my heart's still beatin' for her and me
What was I thinkin', why was I runnin', some things just ain't meant to be
Maybe I can turn the tide, I feel so empty deep inside
She is my shinin' star, however good we are, well it's gotta be a bridge too far
What in the world was I thinking, why did I break her heart
For a new life across the pond, for all the love in the world - it's got to be a bridge too far
I saw the Liberty Bell, when my ship came in man I felt like hell
But she took a plane, first class as well, and straight into her arms I fell
Got a hotel near Broadway, the things we did, well I just can't tell
She is my shinin' star, however good we are, it's gotta be - gotta be a bridge too far
Hi
Great Solid Rock & Excellent sound
not sure but i think there is a slight tempo glitch on my ship sails at sea
you always come up with great rockers that have that tapping my foot drive !!
subvibe
Thanks for listening. I just listened again and I think the tempo glitch you refer to is possibly down to the way I sang that particular line. I kind of hesitated after the word 'ship'. I don't think I'm going to change it, but I appreciate you pointing it out.
I appreciate your kind words. :)
Well Chris,
Great song I really enjoyed listening to it, well done good job.
Fine
This is standing on the shoulders of giants. A rocker
The degree of proficiency here is staggering, the listener is soon swept away.
If the stones released this it's be celebrated as a return to past glory. Well done Chris
I always like your songs and your production. I don't have any constructive feedback for this one. I enjoyed listening to it!
@ChrisPrice -- It's always cool to hear a new rock track from you, Chris. This one is no different and a pleasure to listen to. It's real, authentic, and well-crafted! I enjoyed listening! ;D 8)

Hey Chris . Nice job on the tracks and with a happy ending
Great job man
Chris,
Great rocking intro and chords :-)
Rhythym sections pumps the whole thing along with great energy.
Committed vocals top it off brillaintly.
And then we have an organ and guitar solos. what more coud i want?
Glad i tuned in and got lost in rock from 1976?
Cheers
Neil
Slick as they always are. You make it sound too easy ;D
Love the title hook. Awesome!
Liked it from the first two chords!
Perfectly constructed rocker. Someone said Rolling Stones and I can see that, but even better it's got shades of The Smithereens.
Stadium material in the best sense.
Hola
@ChrisPrice I thought I have commented.. but now yes!!! I toyed it a lot, enjoyed your very special way of rocking, like if you had invented it!! 8)
This is really great. Something about the production and mix of the drums, bass and drums I really really like. Not sure it is super original but it is a great track and a standout among other great tracks posted on this page.
Sounds like decent 70s rock to me :)
I hope you don't mind me giving a little bit of advice on the production. It sounds solid but the overall mix lacks some width & space. The instruments sound a bit DI. Those can benefit from a mastering treatment on the whole mix that focuses on stereo imaging and creating some air, for example with a mastering plugin like FireMaster from UnitedPlugins. But there are probably others out there that can also perform the task.
Overall, great stuff.
Cheerzzz, Dorian
@ChrisPrice ,
As always, a great performance, dense and positive guitar sound.
A great song for cozy halls! :)
