You're singing in the voice of somebody who lived 100 years ago, some of them three, four hundred years ago.
My god man, you sound like you should be singing in some bar in a backwater town in New Jersey!
I had a ten-piece band when I was 21 years old, the Bruce Springsteen Band. This is just a slightly expanded version of a band I had before I ever signed a record contract. We had singers and horns.
Roy Orbison is singing for the lonely, hey, that's me and I want you only.
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive
For the ones who had a notion, A notion deep inside, That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these badlands
Sister, I won't ask for forgiveness, my sins are all I have.
You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past.
It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive.
I saw his solo tour twice in North Carolina, and it was fantastic both nights. There are some incredibly heavy songs on this album, and he's using lots of different singing voices that bring a delicacy to the whole thing.
I'm in search of how to take the stuff I've written and make sure the audience hears it fresh again. It's been a lot of fun. I've enjoyed it.
Everyone remembers the experience quite truly, ... And everyone was centered around this thing, that we suffered. No one forgot that. Everyone had that in common.
It was just playing music. I didn't have any intention for it. I knew that I enjoyed making this kind of music. ... It was really just purely for the joy of doing it. It was a lot of fun.
I was 25 years old, with no place to go and nothing to do ? that helped, ... We worked, and worked, and worked. It was very frustrating. But in the end, luckily, all of everything we did ended up in there.
