Album of The Year - Endgame

[dhodo]

But oh man, that is one of my most hated Bruce songs. Lol. I don't know why, I just really loathe it. I usually go get a beer when he's playing it live.

Haha, sorry! One of my favorites, but I love that whole album.

Haha, sorry! One of my favorites, but I love that whole album.

I love Bruce! And that album is awesome. It's just that song. And it may be because every time it came on when I was growing up, my dad would yell, "THIS IS THE WORST BRUCE SONG!!" I am my father's daughter, through and through.

I think it has always stood out to me because he seems a little more unhinged, which I can see turning people off.

I love Bruce! And that album is awesome. It's just that song. And it may be because every time it came on when I was growing up, my dad would yell, "THIS IS THE WORST BRUCE SONG!!" I am my father's daughter, through and through.

I was looking at the Wikipedia entry for this song today and thought you might find this interesting:

In the 2010 documentary The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town, sound mixer Chuck Plotkin described Springsteen's instructions for how the jarring assault of this song should sound next to the more melodic tunes on Darkness. Springsteen told Plotkin to think of a movie showing two lovers having a picnic, when the scene suddenly cuts to a dead body. This song, the singer explained, is that body.

I need to watch that documentary.

Wow. That actually makes the song make more sense. And it definitely an appropriate description of how jarring that song is. Who knew Bruce had that in him? Lol
