Under The Bridge
Santana · Other Songs - Santana
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry
I drive on her streets, 'cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills, 'cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds, and she kisses me windy
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie
And I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, yeah
Yeah, yeah
It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry
Well, I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
Well, I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
Yeah, yeah
One time
Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
Yeah, yeah
Will I stay?
Under The Bridge
Santana's "Under The Bridge" stands as a defining track from the late 1990s, blending the band's signature Latin rock fusion with the emerging alternative rock sound of the era. While often associated with the broader "Santana Brothers" project, the song captures a specific moment in the artist's evolution, merging traditional percussion with modern guitar textures to create an atmospheric soundscape. The recording reflects the collaborative spirit of the time, featuring guest artists who contributed to the rich tapestry of voices and rhythms characteristic of Santana's catalog. This work exemplifies the band's ability to transcend genre boundaries, maintaining their core identity while embracing new musical directions that resonated deeply with audiences seeking a fusion of Latin roots and contemporary rock energy.
