Over The Edge - R. Johnson Used to be so simple Everybody's pockets lined These days you gotta be criminal Just to get by One time didn't mean that much Two times couldn't get enough Three times gotta feel that rush And now... And I'm over the edge Exactly how you're thinking it'd end I'm over the edge Stressed & over thinking Every time you said Life's much better high Used to be enough Just to put in the time Corporate titled scapegoat Dying in the 9-5 One time didn't mean that much Two times couldn't get enough Three times gotta feel that rush And now... And I'm over the edge Exactly how you're thinking it'd end I'm over the edge Stressed & over thinking Every time you said Life's much better high © 2017 Rock Johnson Music.

Dear Child 03:24
Dear Child - R. Johnson Dear child I've watched you walk from miles away Growing up through pictures Captured smiles on scrolling screens Don't think for a second you ain't been on my mind And I can see without me you're doing just fine I may sit in the shadows to watch you chase your dreams But you mean everything I play it cool, and it's tough love when you're around me Wasn't my plan, but you got love from me Just say the word and I'll be beside you Or I can walk 10 steps behind you Whatever way it has to be As I sit in the shadows it's just so hard to believe How you mean everything Solo Dear child You make me better everyday Such a brave example The way you charge the way you lead Twisted up in the irony of the world's cruel design My heart grows fonder as we're losing time From where I sit in the shadows I wouldn't change a thing Cause you mean everything © 2017 Rock Johnson Music

Flavor Of The Day - R. Johnson It's educating, it's only complicated cause you don't want it Guilty of underestimating you ability to numb the rational Justify the wave you're riding on Have you always been this way? You're stuck inside your own limitations Hate always ends the same Converse but can't debate Your judgement without reason has offended me today Your ignorance won't fade if I call a spade a spade Stay stupid as you're chasing down another flavor of the day Someone save me from this conversation abomination It's fascinating how self esteem destroyed a generation Justify the wave you're riding on Have you always been this way? You're stuck inside your own limitations Hate always ends the same Converse but can't debate Your judgement without reason has offended me today Your ignorance won't fade if I call a spade a spade Stay stupid as you're chasing down another flavor of the day © 2017 Rock Johnson Music

I Have Imagined - R. Johnson Opinions Don't belong here This is quiet time Reflection Deflects my worst years And keep me child like From younger days to getting old I have imagined things I was never told Passing days 'n getting old I have imagined things I was never told Famous For nothing yet Surrounded by sound Created At my very best My legacy when I'm not around My younger days are getting old I have imagined things I was never told Passing days 'n getting old I have imagined things I was never told Younger dreams are getting old I still imagine things I have never told (c) 2017 Rock Johnson Music.

My Other Side - R. Johnson My other side has many other sides a flaw within myself changes day to day And I can't will it away My younger other side a former character I used to play Seems we've drifted away My other side a dirty altered mind reserved for closeness I want to crave In shame it shall stay My older other side fears the choices made when today Seemed far so away All of me needs all of you now Once revealed to stay or walk out? My other side gets my head real high a lonesome atmosphere left in my wake My urge to isolate My broken other side demands my head full time it agitates I can't push it away These bare feelings lie before you now Once revealed to stay or walk out? Does anyone ever feel the same? Just want someone out there to relate Behind the mask we integrate Then solitude returns us our safe space Once revealed to stay or walk out? © 2017 Rock Johnson Music.

Bridges 03:55
Bridges - R. Johnson My sentiment sustained in toils of yesterday A fallen wish, a friend to foe, for all I know about anything The bridge is burning oh so bright Shining on the place we stand in refracted light Bridges burning from mind & sight As every echo fades in reflection tonight There's just not enough time in the world There's just not enough time in the world A sigh in search of words captured everything Oh so sure of trust, I thought, for all I know about anything The bridge is burning oh so bright Shining on the place we stand in refracted light Bridges burning from mind & sight As every echo fades in reflection tonight There's just not enough light in the world There's just not enough light in the world © 2016 Rock Johnson Music.

about

"The Bridge" is the fourth release from Canadian musician Rock Johnson which is equal parts rock and acoustic pop. For those familiar with Rock’s solo work the album may feel like a logical forward step building on his three prior releases “And Begin”, “Disc Zero” and “Reasons”. Those who know him for his hard rock roots may be in for a bit of a surprise.

"The Bridge" started as a self described “Much needed break” from the band environment. The album was originally intended to be a full length endeavor, but given the current climate in which music is consumed an EP seemed the more enticing route. The Bridge was originally slated for release in early 2021, but Johnson suffered a major heart attack just prior to the album's release at 44 years of age. Fortunately, he is still here to finish what he started, and only a few short months later we finally have the six tracks that make up "The Bridge".

The moodiness of opening track “Over The Edge” contrasts well to the sensitivity of acoustic ballad “My Other Side” and ear worm “I Have Imagined”. “Dear Child”, released ahead of the album, has been well received as dedication to children in his life, while “Flavor of the Day” is a salty dig at self victimhood. “Bridges”, a song of personal triumph, an ode to the future, ends the album in sweet mania and is perhaps more relevant today as it ever was.
