I hold you in my arms, yeah, that's where it starts
I seek faith in your kiss and comfort in your heart
I taste the seed upon your lips, lay my tongue upon your scars
I look into your eyes and we stand worlds apart

Where the distant oceans sing and rise to the plain
In this dry and troubled country, your beauty remains
Down from the mountain roads where the highway rolls to dark
'Neath Allah's blessed rain, we remain worlds apart

Sometimes the truth just ain't enough or it's too much in times like this
Let's throw the truth away, we'll find it in this kiss
In your skin upon my skin, in the beating of our hearts
May the living let us in before the dead tear us apart

We'll let blood build a bridge over mountains draped in stars
I'll meet you on the ridge between these worlds apart
We've got this moment now to live, then it's all just dust and dark
Let love give what it gives, let's let love give what it gives

강남 보스턴 https://boston.isweb.co.kr/ As someone who follows this subject closely, I think the flow from introduction to conclusion feels smooth and intentional. What impressed me most was the way you the examples feel realistic and easy to apply in everyday situations. I shared this with a colleague earlier because the examples illustrate the main idea better than abstract theory alone. Even the smaller details were handled with care, which is rare online. I have read dozens of articles on this subject, and this one ranks near the top. I am glad I took the time to read the whole thing carefully.

Every song on this album transports me back to that time, and for that I'll never forget or forgive Bruce Springsteen. 


Rolling Stone gave that albuma a rare (and well-deserved) 5-star review.

Appears the album was released in 2002.  The date of 1993 listed here seems off fwiw.

Personally, I think its just awful, and the same goes for the very similar and equally awful photo of Beck come to think of it.

Always been a Bruce fan. Was lucky enough to see him & The E-Street Band live at (the old) Wembley Stadium 1985 (i think, or was it 84?). 
No support band, and they played for hours. Never seen any other live act do that, before or since.
and Worlds Apart is a great track. Thanks for playing

I was just about to post saying how much I wish RP would play some old Springsteen concert tracks from the 70's instead, and how a live version of Thunder Road or Racing in the Streets or similar would be infinitely better. But this track ain't half bad.

Those who dismiss Bruce probably have never listened to Nebraska, which is brilliant and haunting (and not typical rockin' Bruce) and is widely considered by music critics to be one of the best albums of all folk/rock. The Rising has some good and some bad. See him live -- his concerts are more energetic and fun than many I've seen.

I\'m a big early and mid-career Boss fan. Not too keen on The Rising though, and this song does sound like he is trying too hard to be something else. Not as bad as Bowie with his Drum and Bass phase though! I agree on the whole, less whiney Thom Yorke and more Brooooooooooce!!
Posted 22 years ago by LayZ    [ Reply ]
I'm struck by the intensity of the dislike, verging on intolerance, by many RP listeners for Springsteen. I'll admit, I do think the guy has integrity and cares about his fans, and I basically admire him although I'm not a fan myself. Save your ire for things that really merit it.
Posted 22 years ago by rgrace    [ Reply ]
Bruuuuuuce! Chill out people. Why be "anti" artist. If you don't like the music fine - don't listen. Springsteen however puts on one of the best concerts of any band out there and has a body of work that is impressive by any standard. His passion (and the passion of the people who play with him) is always evident. People put down the pop-record-company-manufactured bands as contrived and generally no-talent hacks, but when an artist that has paid his dues with hard work and a long career tries something new the comments are much the same. Give the guy at least some respect.

Annoying is right. Although I\'m big on world music and enthusiastic at best and tolerant at worst of most rock-traditional fusions (eg Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, Sting) this is the very worst example I have ever heard. Bruce should stick to his Jersey Stud with-the-cigarette-pack-tucked-in-his-t-shirt-sleeve shtick. Sometimes I can get off on true primatives. But the lack of pretension is a big part of the appeal there. \"La-la-la-la-LA, la-la-la-la-LA \" Sheeesh ! :roll:

Well put, I'm not from "there" and there is much more that I don't "get" than I do. This is an area that produced Seger, Nugent, Iggy, Alice, MC5, Motown in general and to our dismay, Eminem and Kid Rock. We pretty much lay it on the line and as anyone can see, we are very fond of rhythm which may be what is missing in a lot of those tunes we don't get. IMO when Bruce is on, he is excellent - enough said.

However, while Simon has been able to expand, adapt and include music from other cultures, Springsteen remains essentially Heartland American, and I'm not sure he has the ability to move beyond that. There's nothing wrong with that; this is not a criticism of Springsteen, just an observation. This song just sounds awkward, like he's trying too hard. The rest of the album is wonderful.

Take heart. The bashing is not that widespread. The person who favors the "evil" emoticon spreads his ill will and anger (for whatever reason?) across Paradise. I think it took some guts to break the typical "Springsteen" mold that expectations and habit bring to bear. Those who love "classic" Springsteen will find it challenging (maybe too much so) and those who never liked him will certainly rebuke him for breaking out of whatever their preconceived image of cultivated dislike might be. I was lucky to first hear the song on RP without being at the computer screen. It caught my ear and I was surprised and impressed when I finally recognized Bruce and the band. I like this.
