There are no bridges in folk songs because the peasants died building them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The fact that The Bridge contains folk lore and other material suitable to the epic form need not therefore prove its failure as a long lyric poem, with interrelated sections.
Music history has flowed under the bridges for many years.
I don't really know what 'folk music' means anymore.
Folk is bare bones music.
All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song.
Your primary presumption that The Bridge was proffered as an epic has no substantial foundation. You know quite well that I doubt that our present stage of cultural development is so ordered yet as to provide the means or method for such an organic manifestation as that.
Dragons and bridges are very much something out of fairy tales and fantasy.
American folk songs were about tragedy, right? They were about suffering and tragedy, and a lot of my songs are about that, even though they were misunderstood.
There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.
I guess all songs is folk songs. I never heard no horse sing 'em.
