Music Bruce Springsteen - “Long Walk Home”

Posted by Ezra Caraeff on Thu, Sep 27 at 2:43 PM

Looking tan and leathery—like a riding saddle with a flavor saver—Bruce Springsteen adds to the building hype for Magic (out next Tuesday) with single number two, “Long Walk Home.” It’s classic Boss, and while not earth-shattering, it’s still a very solid tune.

Now THAT's the best thing he's done in seventeen years. That is him at his crazy best, writing a song that seems to be about small, personal things but plugs into the zeitgeist in a way that is nearly psychic. Instead of a sloganeering protest (or anti-test? song like 'The Rising', mastering the obvious) here are a few lines about home and disappointment that nowhere mention anything larger but are nonetheless entirely about the legacy of the war, materially, emotionally, and morally. Terrific.
