Right, someone did this back on the other place once. 5 completely random songs from my playlist with everything Bruce has released on Spotify.
1. This land is your land -one of Bruce’s best covers. The only negative thing about this is that it doesn’t contain all the verses. One of my favourite Bruce moments is when the band kicks in.
2. Born to Run (Live in NYC) - It’s not my favourite version but it’s always nice to hear the band, not long after they got back together, everyone still alive, playing this jewel of a song.
3. Blood Brothers (live in NYC 2000) - this is always so emotional. I rarely listen to it because I need to be in a very specific state of mind to be able to take it all in.
4. Adam raised a Cain (live 75-85) - This is so incredibly badass and so beautifully written. I once wrote a short story in English for school that I called “You inherit the sins, You inherit the flames”, that line fascinates me and has helped me with a lot of personal stuff. Oh, that story was photocopied and read in every English class in that school that year. :)
5. Take ‘em as they come - God, I love this! I love how it starts as if the band had been itching to get is started, I love the sound of the instruments and the vocals. I absolutely love how the song breaks down and keeps going with nothing but drums and then kicks in again with that great riff!
Just heard Thunder Road from live 1975-85 with a headset for the first time in a really long time. What a goddamn song this is.
