Workin‘ on a Dream – neuer Springsteen Song

Bruce Sprigsteen hat anläslich seines gestrigen Auftritts mit Barack Obama in Cleveland, OH einen neuen Song performt. Höchstwahrscheinlich werden wir „Workin‘ on a Dream“ auf dem nächsten Bruce Springsteen Album wiederfinden.

Hier ein kurzer Ausschnitt inkl. Songtext:

Workin‘ on a Dream

I hear the nights are long, the days are lonely
I think of you and Im working on a dream
Im working on a dream

Now the cards I’ve drawn is rough and darkened
I straightened the back and Im working on a dream
Im working on a dream

Im working on a dream, though sometimes it feels so far away
Im 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
Im working on a dream

Im working on a dream, though trouble can feel like its here to stay
Im working on a dream, well our love will chase the trouble away

Im working on a dream, though it can feel so far away
Im working on a dream, our love will make it real someday

Im working on a dream, the wicken fields so far away
Im working on a dream, our love will make it real someday

The Sun rise up, i climbed the leader, the new day Breaks
Im working on a dream
Im working on a dream, Im working on a dream
Im working on a dream, Im working on a dream

Im working on a dream, the wicken fields so far away
Im working on a dream, our love will make it real someday

Im working on a dream, the wicken fields so far away
Im working on a dream, our love will make it real someday

A Night with the Jersey Devil

Ein Halloween Gruss von Bruce Springsteen

Der „Boss“ hat auf seiner Homepage brucespringsteen.net den neuen Song „A Night with the Jersey Devil“ veröffentlicht.

A NIGHT WITH THE JERSEY DEVIL
Dear Friends and Fans,

If you grew up in central or south Jersey, you grew up with the „Jersey Devil.“ Here’s a little musical Halloween treat. Have fun!

Bruce Springsteen
„A Night With The Jersey Devil“

HALLOWEEN
To our friends and neighbors:

So as not to inconvenience you this Halloween, due to „catastrophic success“ (read: too many visitors for the neighborhood to handle) and concern for the safety of kids and parents! we won’t be having our usual Halloween display this year in Rumson.

We wish everyone a safe and Happy Halloween!

Thanks,
Bruce and Patti

Lyrics zu „A Night with the Jersey Devil“:

Hear me now!
I was born 13th child, ’neath the 13th moon
Spit out hungry and born anew
Daddy drag me to the river tie me in rocks
Throw me in where it’s deep and wide
I go down, I don’t die
Hole in the river bottom, I crawl through
Come back kill six brothers and sisters, kill papa too
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go

Into my bed with her kerosene my mama creep
Set my flesh to burning, whilst I sleep
I burn, burn, burn, till my soul burn black
Black rains fall, I come back, I come back
Get down Mama, get down low
They gonna know me wherever I go

16 witches, cast 16 spells
Make me guitar outta skin and human skull
Sing you a song like the wind in the sandy loam
Bring you baby out’cha your happy home

Ram’s head, forked tail, clove hoof, love’s my trail
I sup on your body, sip on your blood like wine
Out world theirs, this world mine
So kiss me baby till it hurts
God lost in heaven, we lost on earth
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go
Wherever I go, wherever I go

Well I got a brand new lover
I love her yes I do,
She’s my one and only and her name is Baby Blue…
