I've always loved "Worlds Apart", a song written about two lovers (and this is my interpretation), an American man and a Muslim woman who love each other and after 9/11, their relationship is possibly in jeopardy because of Americans views of Muslims. Kind of like a post-9/11 Romeo and Juliet story, this time between Americans and Muslims. When I first heard the song, I thought it was genius!
I hold you in my arms, yeah that's when it starts
I seek faith in your kiss and comfort in your heart
I taste the seed upon your lips, lay my tongue upon your scars
But when I look into your eyes we stand worlds apart
Where the distant oceans sing and rise to the plain
In this dry and troubled country your beauty remains
Down from the mountain road where the highway rolls to dark
'Neath Allah's blessed rain we remain worlds apart
Sometimes the truth just ain't enough
Or is it too much in times like this
Let's throw the truth away we'll find it in this kiss
In your skin upon my skin in the beating of our hearts
May the living let us in before the dead tear us apart
We'll let blood build a bridge over mountains draped in stars
I'll meet you on the ridge between these worlds apart
We've got this moment now to live then it's all just dust and dark
Let's let love give what it gives
Let's let love give what it givesShows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford

Never a big Boss fan, but there's a cd or so worth of tunes I dig.
Blood Brothers is my favorite.0 -

Funny how I've always thought that to be and sung until he loses everything
Thanks for making me realize!tremors wrote:OK - will this be enough to keep this thread on the Porch?

well played there, tremors!
not long ago Eddie's version of One step up was mentioned somewhere else, too: guess it might be appropriate here0 -
Thunder Road is my favorite Springsteen song...and here's a bit from my 2nd fave, Something in the Night:
You're born with nothing,
and better off that way,
Soon as you've got something they send
someone to try and take it away,
You can ride this road 'till dawn,
without another human being in sight,
Just kids wasted on
something in the night.0 -

Still not a huge fan of born in the usa though. Also Im a RATM fan and had no idea Ghost of Tom Joad was his song, very cool

I've alway liked Springsteen but I didn't realize how much until importing all my CD's into iTunes. He's like second to PJ (a very, very distant 2nd as I have about 7,000+ PJ songs
:shh: )

Lights out tonight,
Trouble in the heartland,
Got a head on collision,
Smashin' in my guts, man,
I'm caught in a cross fire,
That I don't understand,
I don't give a damn,
for the same old played out scenes,
I don't give a damn,
for just the in betweens,
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul,
I want control right now
Talk about a dream,
try to make it real
You wake up in the night,
with a fear so real,
Spend your life waiting,
for a moment that just don't come,
Well, don't waste your time waiting,The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it treats its animals. Ghandi0 -
uncle bruce is able to tackle the feeling of wasting away at a job better than just about anyone currently recording tunes, with the exception of the national.
ive been listening to The Rising alot lately to cope with the death of my grandfather. That album got a ton of press when it came out but i still think its one of his most underrated albums.

Sorry about your grandfather.
thanks. yeah, i have to say its up there for me as a hugely important bruce album, and important album in my own life.
i was a big time activist when it came out, a radical, and was pissed off at bruce and neil and the others for creating this jingoistic pro america music. And I finally gave the album a chance, oddly enough way back when in 2005 when my grandma passed away from cancer. I remember blasting Waiting on a Miracle, hoping she'd pull through. While Are You Passionate didnt age well, i gotta say, The Rising is a classic. In terms of albums that describe the feeling and emptiness that comes with losing someone, The Rising pretty much is the standard torch bearer. So many mindblowingly beautiful and sad songs.0 -
and yeah, we did need bruce after 9/11. Such an uplifting album.0

I love this song...
She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She'll let you deep inside
But there's a secret garden she hides
She'll let you in her car
To go drivin' 'round
She'll let you into the parts of herself
That'll bring you down
She'll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, don't think twice
You've gone a million miles
How far'd you get
To that place where you can't remember
And you can't forget
She'll lead you down a path
There'll be tenderness in the air
She'll let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
Then she'll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She's got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away
Wish you were here...

Bruce was my first music obsession, so he'll always be no.1 for me, way ahead of PJ. I heard of him back in the '90s when my dad used to spin his cds in the car, but believe it or not, I started taking notice after seeing his cameo in the film High Fidelity. My gateway album was actually Live In NYC.
So in summer of 2009, I finally got to see him & the E Street Band live. Had to travel halfway round the world from Southeast Asia to London (Hyde Park) just for the gig. But boy was it totally worth it. And on top of that, the best souvenir I got was the official live dvd/blu-ray of the concert!! Obviously once isn't enough, so I'm prepared to travel to NY/NJ next summer for the E Street tour.0
