Born to Run

I found myself singing Born to Run in the shower today. The 1988 accoustic version performed in Los Angeles, which has always been to me the quintessential version of that song. The one that allowed me to really listen to the lyrics and get carried away by the sadness and the hunger they add up to. A while back I wrote about this dichotomy between music and lyrics that can sometimes detract from a song, calling ‘the steering clear of such a dichotomy’… The DR Effect. It is so present here. Another sad boy with a guitar (and harmonica), no doubt. (According to wikipedia, Irish ancestry and all :D)
Together we could live with the sadness
I’ll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday baby I dont know when we’re gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and we’ll walk in the sun
Till then tramps like us, baby we were born to run
