letters from the universe
so far :-)

I wanted to thank you for writing such a wonderful song, "Fearless". During the past week in hospice with my dad, we played the song over and over. It was the last recorded song he heard. Each time it brought him peace and seemed to give him strength to step forward into the next life. Thank you again for using your gift to bless so many...

Incredibly original and insanely marketable. Nothing like it on this planet!
Bridges and Bonn have created their own genre.

My youngest son, Miles, is also a teen musician--he writes, plays the bass and has a band. We listen to your songs together and enjoy them a lot. We especially like "Fearless" and "Einstein". Keep up the great work!

Sincerely,
Susan Sarandon
P.S. Do you need a bass player?

First time in seventeen years of producing this show, I stopped to listen...I was mesmerized.

I have just discovered your song CRUMBLE. It is too precious. You now have one more French fan. And what do you mean, that girl is twelve???

Bridges and Bonn songs are perfect for Girl’s Inc! For quite some time this wonderful music has been inspiring not just our girls, but also our staff, parents and volunteers. The material is not just fun, it contains meaningful lyrics that reflect the heart of Girl’s Inc’s philosophy.
Girl’s Inc would love to see these wonderful songs find their way into public school systems, on to the radio, and into the hearts and lives of families everywhere. This music makes a difference!

My dad won't give me my CD back. It's SO annoying! He drives around in his BMW playing Fearless over and over and over again. But it's my CD!

My daughter was going crazy in her new school. BIG drama, which tends to be her style. But then, lo and behold she started running around the house singing your MONKEY song--now she seems better. I think it calmed her way down.

Thank you thank you thank you. You've got our oldest daughter back to practicing her piano. She's obsessed with learning how to play the intro to Fearless--and it's not easy. She's already got  the intro to Barn Burn down--in fact she recorded herself playing it at the beginning of her voice mail msg. And btw; yours is the only music our family can agree upon to listen to over and over again in the car. No more arguments!

I auditioned for Oprah's new show with the words to Fearless crammed in my pocket!

My daughter just informed me it's your Non Conformist song that taught her who she really is...and she's never looked back. Whenever she hits expectations that don't fit, she just states "I'm a Non-Conformist" and that's it. No big deal. Now I know where she got the word. Thanks so much--it's made her strong at her core in her life. It means everything.

The song collection is really just amazing, and I can't decide which of the songs I liked more out of all the inspired songs. If I had to choose my favorite songs, I would say songs numbers # 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8,11, and
# 13 all are at the top of the list.

Words cannot tell the exact perfection of this. You have to share this with the world. Please.

Everything you write is better than anything on the radio. If I get this Disney movie, we're writing a song together.

This music has not only enhanced the lives of the students in my class, but has changed their lives as well. We are absolutely in love with it. It has depth, intelligence and great hooks that cross generations and draw entire families in. It belongs in not just our school, but everywhere. Please help that happen.

I love how the lyrics are so wise and the voices are so young. I don’t usually like this kind of upbeat stuff. But I do like all this a lot. Just wanted you to know. Cool music.

Ari Landsfield

Although my man writes and performs much darker music than yours—haha—much more dark, lately while driving around town we've been listenning to your music and he loves it. Yes, naturally he takes more to your songs Messy, Enough God, and Special  than maybe a perky song like Einstein, but either way, I’m getting quite the kick watching him absorb your lighter lyrics and quietly approve. He simply states, "well, it's good."

Whenever I get teased at school, I just sing your Sour Grapes song back to the bullies in my head and I'm okay. I don’t need to share their ridiculous mood!

Phenom!

Montecito Journal

Before "the nonconformist" became a hit at their school, both our children were both very much the "follow the crowd" types. But then one day at the dinner table, my oldest asks me, "dad, am I a conformist or a nonconformist?" I just looked at him cross-eyed. He says, "Dad, I've decided non-conformism is way cooler. From now on, I'm gonna be a NON- conformist." His mother was so relieved, as you can imagine. His younger sister followed his lead too since she copies everything he does. Thanks so much for that song. You helped alot!

I SOOO  love B&B songs because they fill my heart with love!

Linda James

My son never felt good about being his unusual self until we discovered the “Non-conformist” song one day. After Jon heard that song, he felt like a hero! It changed his life! Every day after school he’d come home and we'd listen to it over and over. It made a HUGE difference--thank you more than words can express!

Barbara Koon

Bridges and Bonn songs are thoughtful and beautiful. They say how the world can be a better place and how a person truly can make a difference! I especially like the song whatever. So whatever.

Our tweens play your CD over and over and over--that's all we here! Yes, it's great material but those musical hooks! They are now stuck in our parental heads like glue! I guess that's a good thing...

Joe Mensa

Every young girl should sing Fearless!
It will teach her everything.

Suki Gumble

He keeps driving around town blasting your Johnny Depp song in the jeep--these days that's all he plays. All day long! but you should know, we also love Messy, and Special and Fearless. And that one girl on Girl 4U is great. But the Johnny Depp song? Too much! You have to see-- It's really funny.

Your music feels like Chicken Soup with a song! It's so wonderful having music we can share as a family that isn't cheesy!
We really like Girl 4U a lot--it's our hands down favorite...but they're all great.

So many flavors of beautiful voices! Each one lends a different texture to the vocal fabric of the "whole", and each voice seems perfect for the song it's delivering. Great songs! I love the variety of messages and the simplicity of the music.  I kept listening for "Scary Guy" in this collection and there it wasn't! Love that one!! Maybe next collection...? Looking forward to it!

Have been listening to Got Your Back because I'm going through a rough phase unfortunately. I used to think it was all about my BFF but now I'm realizing it's God speaking to me directly. I love so how your music lifts me up.

I am embarassed to admit I went on your VBL website today and bought the Tucked In track--seeing as I am a full grown man. But that song is just too good. I had to have it.
