| Bruce Springsteen – Radio Nowhere Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Springsteen (from Rolling Stone magazine, November 1, 2007): "It's an end-of-the-world scenario - he's seeing the apocalypse. All communications are down. That's my business, that's what it's all about - trying to connect to you. It comes down to trying to make people happy, feel less lonely, but also being a conduit for a dialogue about the events of the day, the issues that impact people's lives, personal and social and political and religious. That's how I always saw the job of our band." | |
| Thursday – War All The Time Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
ok well i always listen to Thursday and get visual images in my mind of what it can mean,,, this song to me was about one person dying and then the domino effect of suicides after. The war is in our own neighborhoods and homes. No one knows how to deal with the mourning so they give up on life. So in my own "video" I would have been going from funeral to funeral to funeral until no kids left. "in the shadow of the New York skyline. we grew up too fast,”..Growing up in the city is like growing up fast, we are put through more things than a regular kid would be. And growing up in Jersey the shadow of the big city is worse... because you are so close but still so far. “now we're falling apart, like the ashes of American flags" And most city kids don’t have the All-American image when they grown up, they end up taking drugs and doing other things most mid-western kids won’t be doing until later in life if they ever do.(…ashes of American flags). "if the sun doesn't rise, we'll replace it with an H-bomb explosion”…if things don't get better kids will commit suicide out of desperation… and “nightmares on TV that sing us to sleep”… there are murders, rapes, robberies everyday in the city and its what the news is made up of while you watch going to sleep.. (I don’t even watch the news anymore because it really isn’t helpful… I don’t want to know who died today in the park and what was found in the river.) "all those nights in the basement, the kids are still screaming" ... neglect maybe from the working class parents who don't have time to see their kids destruction and screaming out for attention… because they are to overworked. That’s my interpretation. |
