THIS HARD LAND – video

L’ ascoltavo questa mattina dal bootleg di Barcelona del luglio scorso.
Troppo bella.

Eccola qui:

Hey there mister can you tell me
What happened to the seeds I’ve sown
Can you give me a reason, sir, as to why they’ve never grown
They’ve just blown around from town to town
Back out on these fields
Where they fall from my hand
Back into the dirt of this hard land

Well me and my sister
From Germantown we did ride
We made our bed, sir
From the rock on the mountainside
We been blowin’ around from town to town
Lookin’ for a place to stand
Where the sun burst through the clouds and fall like a circle
A circle of fire down on this hard land

Now even the rain it don’t come ’round
Don’t come ’round here no more
And the only sound at night’s the wind
Slammin’ the back porch door
Yeah it stirs you up like it wants to blow you down
Twistin’ and churnin’ up the sand
Leavin’ all them scarecrows lyin’ facedown
In the dirt of this hard land

From a building up on the hill
I can hear a tape deck blastin’ “Home on the Range”
I can hear them Bar-M choppers
Sweepin’ low across the plains
It’s me and you, Frank, we’re lookin’ for lost cattle
Our hooves twistin’ and churnin’ up the sand
We’re ridin’ in the whirlwind searchin’ for lost treasure
Way down south of the Rio Grande
We’re ridin’ ‘cross that river in the moonlight
Up onto the banks of this hard land

Hey, Frank, won’t you pack your bags
And meet me tonight down at Liberty Hall
Just one kiss from you, my brother
And we’ll ride until we fall
Well sleep in the fields
We’ll sleep by the rivers
And in the morning we’ll make a plan
Well if you can’t make it stay hard, stay hungry, stay alive if you can
And meet me in a dream of this hard land

NEW SPRINGSTEEN SONG: WORKING ON A DREAM

Nuova canzone di Springsteen, è stata suonata a Cleveland durante un comizio
pro-Obama.

Ecco il video:

Ed ecco il testo:

Out here the nights are long
The days are lonely
I think of you and…
I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream

Now the cards I’ve drawn
Is a rough hand darlin’
I’ve straightened my back and…
I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream

I’m working on a dream,
Though sometimes it feels so far away
I’m working on a dream,
And I know it will be mine someday

Rain pouring down
I swing my hammer
My hands are rough from…
Working on a dream
I’m working on a dream

I’m working on a dream,
Though trouble can feel like it’s here to stay
I’m working on a dream,
Well our love will chase the trouble away

I’m working on a dream,
Though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream,
Our love will make it real someday

The sun rises up,
I climb the ladder
A new day breaks and…
I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream

Come on….

I’m working on a dream,
Though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream,
Our love will make it real someday
I’m working on a dream,
Oh it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream,
And our love will make it real someday

My Hometown 11.04.2003

Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band played My Hometown in Vancouver during The Rising Tour.

Enjoy the video!

LYRICS

I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
I’d sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town
He’d tousle my hair and say son take a good look around this is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown
This is your hometown

In ’65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come to my hometown
My hometown
My hometown
My hometown

DANNY FEDERICI r.i.p.

DANNY FEDERICI
“Danny and I worked together for 40 years – he was the most wonderfully fluid keyboard player and a pure natural musician. I loved him very much…we grew up together.”
—Bruce Springsteen
Danny Federici, for 40 years the E Street Band’s organist and keyboard player, died this afternoon, April 17, 2008 at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City after a three year battle with melanoma.
The Federici family and the E Street family request that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Danny Federici Melanoma Fund. A web site for the Fund is being established and we’ll post its link when it is on line.
Bruce Springsteen’s concerts scheduled for Friday in Ft. Lauderdale and Saturday in Orlando performance are being postponed. Replacement dates will be announced shortly.
