| Bruce Springsteen – Mansion On the Hill Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Although this probably isn't true I like to think of the song in reference to the film Days of Heaven. I heard the title track was based off of the Starkweather murders after Bruce saw Badlands. Days of Heaven is a film by the same writer/director Terrence Malick. If you have seen the film the line Me and my sister, we'd hide out in the tall cornfields Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill May strike a chord The two main character pretend to be brother and sisters while farming a wheat field, the woman than becomes romantic with the farm owner Someone also stated that the song is about the poor desiring what the rich have, this is also a common theme of the film. Any thoughts |
