Musikrooms.net hat das anstehende Bruce Springsteen Album “Wrecking Ball” rezensiert.
Journalist Anthony Lund bespricht alle Songs und überschüttet das siebzehnte Bruce Springsteen Werk mit viel Lob.

Anthony Lund schreibt: “Springsteen hat immer mit verschiedensten musikalischen Stilrichtungen experimentiert. Er verwendete Gospel Elemente und kehrte in den frühen 1990er Jahren zum Rock and Roll zurück. Mit der Seeger Session Band spielte er Irish Folk. Nun vereint er alle musikalischen Einflüsse und veröffentlicht mit Wrecking Ball ein politisches Leitbild”.

Ein kurzer Auszug aus dem Online-Artikel:

Bruce Springsteen – Wrecking Ball Review
There is a stock rule of thumb that when America and the world are in crisis, one man will be there to sing about it with a truth and honesty that many wouldn’t be able to pull off, and a lot more wouldn’t dare to try. Bruce Springsteen.
…
Springsteen has always played around with different styles. He toyed with gospel music when he found religion in the early 90s, moved onto hard rock in the 00s and in the middle he gave us some irish folk with the Seeger sessions. Wrecking Ball combines all of these, a political mission statement and so much more to create one of the richest tapestries in Springsteen’s long and prolific career.
…
Wrecking Ball is not going to convert the Springsteen bashers out there, who question how a man in his position can sing for the working man, but for everyone else, this could quickly surge up lists of favourite Bruce tracks and albums as the Boss returns with his State of the World address for the here and now. We now wait with baited breath for The Boss to hit the UK for just four concert dates in Sunderland, Manchester, The Isle of Wight Festival and Hard Rock Calling.

SHACKLED AND DRAWN

Great morning light splits through the shade
Another day older and closer to the grave
I’m closer to the grave and come the dawn
I woke this morning shackled and drawn

Shackled and drawn
Shackled and drawn
Pick up the rock, son, and carry it on
Trudging through the dark in a world gone wrong
I woke up this morning shackled and drawn

I always love the feel of sweat on my shirt
Stand back, son, and let a man work
Let a man work, is that so wrong
I woke up this morning shackled and drawn

Shackled and drawn
Shackled and drawn
Pick up the rock, son, and carry it on
What’s a poor boy to do in a world gone wrong
Woke up this morning shackled and drawn

Freedom, son, is a dirty shirt
The sun on my face and my shovel in the dirt
The shovel in the dirt keeps the devil gone
I woke up this morning shackled and drawn

Shackled and drawn
Shackled and drawn
Pick up the rock, son, and carry it on
What’s a poor boy to do but keep singing this song
I woke up this morning shackled and drawn

Gambling man rolls the dice, working man pays the bills
It’s still fat and easy up on bankers hill
Up on bankers hill the party’s going strong
Down here below we’re shackled and drawn

Shackled and drawn
Shackled and drawn
Pick up the rock, son, and carry it on
Trudging through the dark in a world gone wrong
Woke up this morning shackled and drawn

Shackled and drawn
Shackled and drawn
Pick up the rock, son, and carry it on
What’s a poor boy to do but keep singing this song
I woke up this morning shackled and drawn

I want everybody to stand up
I want everybody to stand up and be counted tonight
You know we got to pray together
But I want everybody to stand up
I want everybody to stand up and be counted tonight

ROCKY GROUND

I’m a soldier
I’m a soldier

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground

Rise up shepherd, rise up
Your flock has roamed far from the hills
The stars have faded, the sky is still
The angels are shouting Glory Hallelujah

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground

Forty days and nights of rain have washed this land
Jesus said the money changers in this temple will not stand
Find your flock, get them to higher ground
Flood waters rising and we’re Caanan bound

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
I’m a Soldier

Tend to your flock or they will stray
We’ll be called for our service come Judgment Day
Before we cross that river wide
Blood on our hands will come back on us twice
I’m a Soldier

Rise up shepherd, rise up
Your flock has roamed far from the hills
Stars have faded, the sky is still
Sun’s in the heavens and a new day’s rising

You use your muscle and your mind and you pray your best
That your best is good enough, the Lord will do the rest
You raise your children and you teach ‘them to walk straight and sure
You pray that hard times, hard times, come no more
You try to sleep, you toss and turn, the bottom’s dropping out
Where you once had faith now there’s only doubt
You pray for guidance, only silence now meets your prayers
The morning breaks, you awake but no one’s there

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
There’s a new day coming

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
I’m a Soldier

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
There’s a new day coming

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
I’m a Soldier

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
There’s a new day coming

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
I’m a Soldier

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
There’s a new day coming

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
I’m a Soldier

We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground
We’ve been traveling over Rocky Ground, Rocky Ground

THIS DEPRESSION

Baby, I’ve been down
But never this down
I’ve been lost
But never this lost

This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart

Baby, I’ve been low
But never this low
I’ve had my faith shaken
But never hopeless
This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart

And I’ve always been strong
But I’ve never felt so weak
And all my prayers have gone for nothing
I’ve been without love
But never forsaken
Now the morning sun
The morning sun is breaking

This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart
This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart
This is my confession
I need your heart
In this depression
I need your heart

YOU’VE GOT IT

No one ever found it
Ain’t no school ever taught it
No one ever made it
Ain’t no one ever bought it

Baby you’ve got it
Baby you’ve got it
Come on and give it to me

Ain’t no one can break it
There ain’t no one can steal it
Ain’t no one can fake it
You just know it when you feel it

Baby you’ve got it
Baby you’ve got it
Come on and give it to me

Yeah, you can’t read it in a book
And you can’t even dream it
Honey, it ain’t got a name
You just know it when you see it

Baby you’ve got it
Baby you’ve got it
Come on and give it to me

Well, now listen up
Your reckless love is precious so don’t waste it
Can’t tell you what they made it of
But I know it when I taste it

Baby you’ve got it
Baby you’ve got it

You’ve got it in your bones and blood
You’re real as real ever was
Baby you’ve got it
Baby you’ve got it
Come on and give it to me

WE ARE ALIVE

There is a cross up yonder up on Calvary Hill
There is a slip of blood on a silver knife
There is a graveyard kid down below
Where at night did come to life
And above the stars, they crackle in fire
A dead man’s moon throws seven rings
Well, we put our ears to the cold grave stones
This is the song they’d sing

We are alive
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark
Our spirits rise to carry the fire and light the spark
To stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart

A voice cried out, I was killed in Maryland in 1877
When the railroad workers made their stand
Well, I was killed in 1963 one Sunday Morning in Birmingham
Well, I died last year crossing the southern Desert
My Children left behind in San Pablo
Well they left our bodies here to rot
Oh please let them know

We are alive
Oh, and though we lie alone here in the dark
Our souls will rise to carry the fire and light the spark
To fight shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart

Let your mind rest easy, sleep well my friend
It’s only our bodies that betray us in the end

I awoke last night in a dark and dreamy deep
From my head to my feet, my body gone stone cold
There were worms crawling all around me
Fingers scratching at an earth black and six foot low
And alone in the blackness of my grave
Alone I’d been left to die
Then I heard voices calling all around me
The earth rose above me, my eyes filled with sky

We are alive
And though our bodies lie alone here in the dark
Our souls and spirits rise
To carry the fire and light the spark
To fight shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart
To stand shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart
We are alive
