Song / Video Bridges He Wants To Sell You

It wasn't until a couple of days ago that we realized there was something else kind of great about Jamie T's new single.

At first, "Sticks 'N' Stones" appears to start with the chorus. Except, really, it's the bridge.

First, there's the song's bridge ("When there's no one left to fight / Boys like him don't shine so bright"), then the verse ("I take a train again away from shame / And blame a city pained to see"), then back to the bridge, another verse, and finally, around the 1:30 mark, the actual chorus.

"Runnin' with believers, go time for fever,
And I haven't got time for you either,
With your sticks 'n' stones, sticks 'n' stones,
I take 'em home on my own."

Hear it again.



It strikes us as unusual.

You've got your songs that start with intros, verses, or choruses.

But how many others kick off with a bridge?

On Weezer's Green Album every single song(pretty much, maybe one or two don't) starts with an instrumental version of the bridge. Then verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, guitar instrumental of the verse part, chorus(plus maybe a couple of extra bars of chorus at the end.

I'm not sure why I noticed or remembered that.
