What are some songs that you feel has a bridge that is better than the actual song? I’m looking more for singing bridge sections, not really bridge/guitar(instrumental) solos.

First one for me would be, _These Are Days_ by 10,000 Maniacs. I love the song, but I really start to sing along when Natalie Merchant starts the bridge …

“These are the days, you might fill with laughter, until you break …”
