| Bruce Springsteen – 4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy) Lyrics
| 13 years ago
|
"The narrator of 'Sandy' is an adolescent loser, the kid whose shirt gets stuck in the fun-fair ride, leaving him stranded and looking like a fool. You'd think he was ruining his chances with girl: he can't stop telling her about his humiliations, about the girls who led him on, about the waitress that got tired of him. He can't even hand her a line without blowing it: 'I promise I'll love you-forever?' Springsteen's voice squeaks incredulously. Oh, there'll always be another girl; adolescence is something you grow out of. But that's cold comfort and Springsteen's offering something warmer and more immediate: the moon is rising, the organ notes twinkle like stars, the 'sha la las' are triumphant and irrestible. The chorus promises romance despite the odds."
-From Ariel Swartley (Stranded: Rock and Roll for a Desert Island) |

According to David Masciotra in Working on a Dream: The Progressive Political Vision of Bruce Springsteen, this is "a song about love, human solidarity and communitarian possibilities that bind us all together if we embrace them, and which we reject at our own peril." |

I know I'm in the minority here with this opinion...but this song is absolutely terrible. I derive zero pleasure from listening to this stuff. |
