Oh Yes, oh Yes, oh YesI have an E Street Band record that I have a lot of stuff written for. I'm just waiting for the right time to do it
! Thank God he may be around sometime soon with another stadium rock tour. The new album sounds like it will be great, and Bruce's roots are folk of course, and he is passionate about everything he does. But the main thing about Bruce Springsteen, for me, is the incredibly exciting, raw, pure rock n roll energy of his concerts with the E Street Band. And, of course, he is also the sexiest man ever to have walked this earth. My favourite albums are Born to Run, The River and Born in the USA, although Badlands, from Darkness on the Edge of Town, is probably my favourite Springsteen track of all, if I had to choose one.
In recent years, I thought The Rising album was an excellent heartfelt response to 9/11. These are the lyrics to one of the songs on the album. As always, Bruce has a gift for stating things simply and powerfully:
DianeEmpty Sky
I woke up this morning
I could barely breathe
Just an empty impression
In the bed where you used to be
I want a kiss from your lips
I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to the empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Blood on the streets
Yeah blood flowin' down
I hear the blood of my blood
Cryin' from the ground
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
On the plains of Jordan
I cut my bow from the wood
Of this tree of evil
Of this tree of good
I want a kiss from your lips
I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
