| Bruce Springsteen – The Rising Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
See Mary in the garden of a thousand sighs....makes me think of those suffering for their loved ones on 9/11 and the weeks after it.. WTC site...The fallen towers..sky of lonely and emptiness... Sky of love sky of tears, fear, mercy, sorrow, love... all makes you think of what was lost when they came down. This is a song that says help someone rise from their struggles and tragedies... lay your hands in mine... On my back a sixty pound stone (heavy burdens and struggles) on my shoulder a half mile of line (indicates that the person trying to help you has a long history of struggles and tragedies and we must help each other to overcome them... that is part of life |

| Bruce Springsteen – Thunder Road Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
Thunder Rd is usually voted #2 behind Led Zepp's Stairway to Heaven as the best written rock song of all times... "the door is open but the ride ain't free" and "it's a town full of loosers, I'm pulling out of here to win", "your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet"... and of course "U ain't a beauty but hey you are allright"... obviously a young man taking off to find a future and wants his girl friend to come along and take a chance since he really does not know what the future holds.. Bruce glorifies the dignity of ordinary honest working people, call them blue collar if you want. He stands for the ordinary person, I don't agree with his politics, I'm a republican, but I do enjoy his work. Thanks for the Rising boss... we needed you. |
