Song of the Week

Song of the Week: "Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band.


"Show a little faith there's magic in the night, you ain't a beauty but hey you're alright, and that's alright with me."

Live and captivating at Hyde Park: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NtmjSnLqxc


Well ladies and gentlemen, I could easily leave this as it's Bruce and "Thunder Road", 'nuff said. This is my personal favourite of the Boss's, and I think after listening to it it's evident why it's popular with the fans. He opened with this at Hyde Park on Saturday, and everyone there knew the words. It was quite simply magical. I also love that lyric, "you ain't a beauty but hey, you're alright, and that's alright with me". It makes me think that so long as the man or woman you're with loves you for you then that's fine, you don't need to be the most beautiful creature in the land! So roll down your windows and go find the promise land, Bruce my friend, I salute you!


P.S. While the live footage may not have the best video quality the sound's good you can still get a decent feel for how magical it was to be there in that moment. Well worth watching!
