For Taylor, singing, writing and performing were built into her DNA. From being born to James Taylor songs in the delivery room, by the tender age of six the soon-to-be breakout artist was already exhibiting signs of being a musician. Despite her hearing impairment from childhood, she found her voice among choirs, eventually making her way to a recording studio in her teens. Despite her hearing loss, Taylor has not let it hold her back from going after her dreams and has made a career for herself as a country singer who is the epitome of resilience. Taylor has trained with the legendary vocal coach to the stars, Bob Garrett (Los Angeles) and Lorraine Lawson (Toronto, ‘The Launch’).
Bree has had 4 songs chart on the Canadian Indie Country Charts, her latest single "On My Own" hit #1 in May 2022. Her first single “Cry”, hit #2 on the Canadian Indie Charts and “Burning Bridges” soared to #1 in October 2020 (and was #17 of the Top 50 in Indie Songs of 2020). Her smash hit "Kryptonite" gave her her second #1 hit on the charts with nominations for “Song of the Year” with the Mississauga Music Awards, “Emerging Solo Vocalist” with the MARTY’s and “Best Country Video of the Year” with Dropout Entertainment in 2021. The song also recently hit the TOP 100 in the CBC Toyota Searchlight contest 2022. Bree has also received nominations for “Drive - Video of the Year” and “Best New Artist” in 2019 with the Mississauga Music Awards and was recently nominated for Established Vocalist of the Year with the MARTY Awards 2022.
Bree holds philanthropic causes close to her heart. Supporting and bringing awareness to mental health, human equality and poverty. Bree recently kicked off her new concert series 'Cheers & Beers' on June 10th, 2022 in support of TenFed and Kids Against Hunger Canada, helping to feed children and families suffering from food insensitivity in Canada and across the globe.
Taylor kicked off 2022, with her anthemic single,“On My Own”, a deeply emotional prose, touching on life's hardships and challenges. Her latest summer single, “Sha La La” tosses back a shooter of summer fun and laughter - dancing and laid back vibes. Taylor presents a picture complete with memories, chances to create new ones, chances to sing-a-long, and chances to fall in love with a brand new track from a country powerhouse in the making. With commanding vocals, and ability to resonate, Taylor is an ode to a young Shania, or Trisha Yearwood. Following on the sonic footprints of Underwood and Ballernini, Taylor is bootstompin’ into the hearts of country fans everywhere. Taylor was truly born with a talent that draws you in and holds you captive till every last grit, grime, and perfectly pitched crescendo has been placed on your lap. You’ll find yourself at the end of a track, rapidly trying to start it all over again.
With a career and brand built on authenticity, honesty and resilience, Bree’s creative ambitions have no limitations. No matter what life throws at her, Bree is and always will be a fighter and will remain truly unapologetically Bree!
Burning Bridges
Bree Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And words don’t mean that much
And some people got two faces
I’ve heard the lame excuses
I don’t believe in luck
So I’ll keep turning pages
You can’t stop the world from the way it’s turning
So how ‘bout a little less fear
Let's strike the match
Light it up
Show the world we won’t give up
Like fireworks lighting up the night
What goes around
Comes around
Especially in a small town
Sometimes bridges burn
We live and learn
So we’re Burning Bridges
We all walk through fire
And search for higher ground
No time for hesitating
When vision’s 20/20
We’ll see love is love
Life is everything we make it
You can’t stop world from the way it’s turning
So how ‘bout a little less fear
And a little less worrying
Let's strike the match
Light it up
Show the world we won’t give up
Like fireworks lighting up the night
What goes around
Comes around
Especially in a small town
Sometimes bridges burn
We live and learn
So we’re Burning Bridges
Yeah
You can’t stop world from the way it’s turning
So how ‘bout a little less fear
And a little less worrying
Let’s strike the match
Light it up
Show the world we won’t give up
Like fireworks lighting up the night
What goes around
Comes around
Especially in a small town
Sometimes bridges burn
Let’s strike the match
Light it up
Show the world we won’t give up
Like fireworks lighting up the night
What goes around
Comes around
Especially in a small town
Sometimes bridges burn
The lyrics to Bree Taylor's song "Burning Bridges" convey a message of empowerment, overcoming obstacles, and not being afraid to let go of toxic and negative relationships. The song starts by highlighting the superficiality of words and the presence of two-faced individuals. It expresses a disbelief in luck and emphasizes the importance of taking control of one's own life by turning the pages and moving forward.
The chorus serves as a rallying cry, asserting that the world will keep turning, so it's better to have less fear and worry and instead ignite a fire within oneself. It encourages not giving up and showing the world that one's determination and resilience cannot be extinguished. The comparison to fireworks lighting up the night symbolizes the strength and brightness that come from taking charge of one's own destiny.
The lines "What goes around, Comes around, Especially in a small town" imply that actions have consequences, particularly in close-knit communities. It suggests that burning bridges, metaphorically cutting off negativity or toxic relationships, can lead to personal growth and learning.
Overall, "Burning Bridges" serves as a reminder to embrace change, confront challenges head-on, and let go of relationships that hold us back. It encourages the listener to take ownership of their life and strive for a brighter future.
