| Jackson Browne – The Fuse Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is actually my first comment ever. I've enjoyed looking up a few artists like Jackson Browne and Bruce Springsteen, seeing all the perspectives on some wonderful poetry. The Fuse is one of my favorite JB songs and I was surprised no one had commented yet. I love the way Browne framed his albums, beginning with a great lead-off, and this is no exception. The Fuse is a very transcendent song that sets the scene for Browne's most intriguing album. Browne decides all the things from his past that haunt him, all the difficulties of his lifestyle at the time, and the morose state of society aren't worth surrender when you can write your own destiny (literally) with a gifted perspective and eloquence, and move through it all. He has something special that no one can take away. This is an affirmation that peace and happiness are possible if you find something within yourself that you truly appreciate and are willing to spend your life expanding on it. This is my favorite part: There's a part of me That speaks to the heart of me Though sometimes it's hard to see It's never far from me Alive in eternity That nothing can kill |
