Bruce Springsteen Plays In The Clover Patch
ARTIST: Bruce Springsteen TITLE: “My Lucky Day” WEB DEBUT: Nov. 28, 2008
ONE-LISTEN VERDICT: There’s something about an upbeat, hopeful Bruce Springsteen song that gets my heart going, even during the lower points of my life, which made me pretty psyched to find this Black Friday release in the upper reaches of YouTube’s video chart this morning. “My Lucky Day” is a love-against-the-odds track with simple, yet evocative lyrics (“I’ve waited at your side / I’ve carried the tears you’ve cried / But to win, darlin’ we must play / So don’t hide your heart away”), chiming piano trading off with organ, and a sax solo—it’s like “Rosalita” plus 30-odd years, with the graying temples and hard knocks that come with time.
WHERE TO HEAR IT: It’s on sale at Amazon, but you can also get a peek at YouTube. Or below:
