    Is it just me or does he look lonely? Good thing he'll be seeing hundreds of thousands of people in the next year :):):)

    oddly enough, i thought this same thing,

    like since this is the supposed " final E Street project "
    that they would all at least share the cover , or at least mention the E -Street Band .



    but then again, thats why he is

    From BTX

    "I wanted to share a couple of thoughts about "Magic" while they are still top of mind.

    When the "hey come over and listen to the new album" phone call comes, you go. That call came today. I'm glad I went.

    I took some spotty notes, and when you can't read your own handwriting--it's sad.

    So, Magic.

    Seated between a pair of outstanding speakers and handed a book with the lyrics, the Magic began.

    Quick observations: this album rocks...these songs will KILL in a live concert setting...lots, LOTS of rocking guitars...I still don't know why it's called Magic...nary a ballad...Clarence Clemons rocks...I can't wait to find out how the actual recording of this album played out...any crap that Brendan O'Brien took for The Rising (undeserved in my book) will be long forgotten...these songs will sound great on the radio...Bruce Springsteen "songwriter" is a national treasure.

    The production is big, without getting in the way. While The Rising demanded a certain atmosphere and Devils & Dust surely came from its own place, this album is an exclamation point in the Springsteen/O'Brien studio pairing. This is a confident sounding record, made by artists who trust each other and their art.

    Radio Nowhere
    Coming soon to a radio near you. Great lead off song. This could easily be the guy in "Open All Night" 25 years burning down the road. This song rocks, but the whole time, the guy in the song asks "is anybody alive out there?" like his life depends on it. Classic E Street with a monster solo from C.
    And as the guy drives along he sings...
    I just want to hear some rhythm
    I just want to hear some rhythm
    I just want to feel some rhythm
    I just want to feel your rhythm
    Awesome and terrifying at the same time.

    You'll Be Comin' Down
    Another song where C shines...spotlight on the Big Man. This is one about someone getting their comeuppance--a whole "what goes around comes around" thing. Karma!

    Livin' In The Future
    The most "pop" song on the album. Classic E Street--Big C again and a song that would fit anywhere from Born To Run to Born In The U.S.A.

    Your Own Worst Enemy
    I liked this one a lot. Reminded me of the vibe of both Darkness and The River, also not unlike None But The Brave. Great harmony vocals.

    Gypsy Biker
    A song about a gypsy biker who is coming home. Starts with a beautiful harmonica and acoustic and ends up a flat out rocker. Very powerful lyrics. Loved it and can't wait to hear it live.

    Girls In Their Summer Clothes
    Hmmmm...girls in their summer clothes don't like the hero in this song. My notes for this one said "lyrics very specific, very precise." While this was not one of my favorites, the lyrics are so well written that you feel like you're on the street as "the girls in their summer clothes pass me by."

    I'll Work For Your Love
    CatholicSchool...CatholicSchool...CatholicSchool. Bruce has used a lot of Catholic imagery as of late, and this song certainly has that. Beautiful piano intro, and another one that I really liked.

    Magic
    Interesting that this is the title cut. This one could have easily been on Devils & Dust. The word "magic" does not appear in the song. I need to hear it again, I guess. : )

    Last To Die
    Great songwriting here. Driving drums.

    Long Walk Home
    Probably the best song on the album. We know how great the lyrics are, this is played with passion and tempo by Bruce and the band. Wow. Max and Garry flat out kill this song, and there is an amazing guitar solo. This song will destroy concert halls all over the world. Amazing.

    Devil's Arcade
    The lyrics that are posted on the web are wrong. You'll be happy, because this song is great--again with lyrics that are simply amazing. Big guitars, big strings--I really liked this one a lot.

    It's easy to toss around superlatives when discussing Bruce's work (and yeah, I'm biased), but this is a great, great album. I keep coming back to the preciseness and the specificness of the lyrics. These are streets that do have names. And the people who walk--drive--run those streets have purpose. And when the band plays...

    Do you believe in Magic? I do.

    See you Sunday.

    No surrender-

    Backstreets



    YOUR SATURDAY IS FREE
    Just in case you're on pins and needles: there won't be a tour announcement this week. Which means you won't need to be doing the Ticketmaster Shuffle this weekend (despite previous indications of an 8/25 onsale). Now, next week... that might be a different story. More here as we know it, but for now you can breathe easy.

    I was trying to find my way home,
    But all I heard was a drone.
    Bouncin’ off a satellite
    Crushing the last long American night.

    This is radio nowhere.
    Is there anybody alive out there?
    This is radio nowhere.
    Is there anybody alive out there?

    I was sitting around a dirt dial
    Just another lost number in a file.
    Been in some kinda dark cove
    Just searching for a world with some soul.

    Bopping thru the wild blue
    Trying to make a connection with you.

    Just wanted to mention that I'm reading Dave Marsh's "Two Hearts" now. It's really good, learning lots of details and history about the Boss.

    Looking forward to the tour announcement!

    interestingly enough. this is not the first time i heard this ( about tommy tutone )
    --this song seems to have the sound of just about a million different other songs.


    over on the bruce boards they even mentioned that it sounds a little like a pearl jam song.


    go figure.
    either way, this ( and every other new track off of " magic " ) will be great to witness in a live setting.
    its always good, we all know that .
