Free Music Review: Will move you to tears
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an album, for anyone who saw love as it was dramatized on tv and movies. Like, love at first sight is real, and how you can love someone forever, and then......got stabbed in the back by it....and found yourself less of who you were before. From a failed marriage, came an album more personal, and more connecting than any of his others before.
aint got you, is an uptempo, elvisy type track. Bruce sings about how we always want what we dont have, and how we always have what we dont want.
"I got a house full of Rembrandt and priceless art
And all the little girls they wanna tear me apart
When I walk down the street people stop and stare
Well you'd think I might be thrilled but baby I don't care
'Cause I got more good luck honey than old King Farouk
But the only thing I ain't got baby I ain't got you"
Tougher than the rest, is a song about how we try to be the man, and even though we arn't a "hansome dan", or "good looking Joe", you gotta take what you can get. This song sounds very 80's in the production, but the message is still there.
"The road is dark, and its a faint line
but i want you to know i'll walk it for you anytime"
All that heaven will allow, is a fun, almost boppy song, in which bruce sings about the greatness of a new love, a chance to find happiness.
"I got a dollar in my pocket
there ain't a cloud up above
I got a picture in a locket
that says baby I love you
Well if you didn't look then boys
then fellas don't go lookin' now
Well here she comes a-walkin'
all that heaven will allow"
Spare parts, is a country, bluesy-ish tune, where bruce sings about the hardness of living with children without being married.
"Janey heard about a woman over in Calverton
Put her baby in the river let the river roll on
She looked at her boy in the crib where he lay
Got down on her knees cried till she prayed"
The dark, Cautious man, is about a working man, who doubts love and everything it stands for. He's caught between the feeling of love, and the fear that goes with it.
"On his right hand Billy tattooed the word love and on his left hand was the word fear
And in which hand he held his fate was never clear"
Walk like a man, is a song about how we try to follow in our parents footsteps, how we look up to them, but when they fail us, we have no idea what to do.
"Well so much has happened to me
That I don't understand
All I can think of is being five years old following behind you at the beach
Tracing your footprints in the sand
Trying to walk like a man"
Tunnel of love, is the most 80's rock like song on this album. It uses a carnival as a metaphor for love, and how sometimes, you go into it blind almost. He rides into the tunnel of love with his girl, himself, and the things he's scared of.
"It ought to be easy ought to be simple enough
Man meets woman and they fall in love
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough
And you've got to learn to live with what you cant rise above"
Two faces, is another track in which springsteen talks about how we try to do things right, but sometimes, what we try to do, isn't what we do.
"One that laughs one that cries
One says hello one says goodbye
One does things I don't understand
Makes me feel like half a man"
Brilliant Disguise, is the best track on the album, both in lyrics, and in song. Bruce begs to know, am i looking at the real you, and...am i showing the real me. He falls in love, and gets married, all without knowing who he really married.
"Im just a lonely pilgrim I walk this world in wealth
I want to know if its you I dont trust...cause I damn sure dont trust
Myself"
One step up is a heartbreaking track about a man, who has a tough time letting go of old habits, and must fight a battle each day in this war of love.
"When I look at myself I don't see
The man I wanted to be
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back..."
When your alone is a song saying that everyone gets dumped, and if you do, you feel a loneliness unlike anything else.
"But there's things that'll knock you down you don't even see coming
And send you crawling like a baby back home
You're gonna find out that day sugar
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you're alone
When you're alone you ain't nothing but alone"
Valentines day, which, so aptly portrays the nightmare of the soul that one feels when one is in love. Written, ironically, as a comfortable melody, his main anguish is "what scares me is losing you".
"They say if you die in your dreams you really die in your bed
But honey last night I dreamed my eyes rolled straight back in my head
And God's light came shinin' on through
I woke up in the darkness scared and breathin' and born anew
So hold me close honey say you're forever mine
And tell me you'll be my lonely valentine"
Bruce wrote these songs after he got married the first time. He had an afair, and got married again, this time, a more confident man then on this album.
But this album will stand as long as love will, because as long as love exists, so will the doubt and fear that goes with it.
A classic that i would recommend to anyone.
