This may well be Springsteen's best batch of songs, though the production is criminally flat. Some of these Darkness outtakes were performed by Springsteen in concert during his 1978 tour and later. "Darkness on the Edge of Town" is the last song on the 1978 album of the same name, Darkness on the Edge of Town, by Bruce Springsteen. And you loved him for it. The resulting album, Darkness On The Edge Of Town, is a very different beast from its predecessor. The album’s sound and attitude were partly inspired by British punk. A thematic album whose songs portray the struggles of the less-fortunate, not only to survive, but to keep their spirit and will to live alive, the title track portrays a hard-luck loser in life who refuses to give up. Darkness on the Edge of Town, an Album by Bruce Springsteen. It may not have been reviewed by professional editors (see full disclaimer), All translations of darkness on the edge of town.

"This Must Be The Place" is a rare love song by the Talking Heads, with a very personal lyric from David Byrne likely inspired by the woman who became his first wife. - William Ruhlmann, The All-Music Guide to Rock, 1995. Some of the unused material became hits for other artists, such as "Because the Night" for Patti Smith, "Fire" for Robert Gordon and The Pointer Sisters, "Rendezvous" for Greg Kihn, "This Little Girl" for Gary U.S. Bonds, and several tracks for Southside Johnny (including much of the Asbury Jukes' Hearts of Stone album). "Tonight I'll be on that hill cause I can't stop, I'll be on that hill with everything I got, where lives are on the line and dreams are found and lost, I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost, for wanting things that can only be found in the darkness on the edge of town". https://www.springsteenlyrics.com/lyrics.php?song=darknessontheedgeoftown Another Jimmy Iovine/Record Plant recording, Darkness is far tighter and "shifts gear" so much more easily than Born to Run. Springsteen explained that sing song "dealt with the idea that the setting for personal transformation is often found at the end of your rope." Yet the sound, and the conviction in his singing, added weight to songs like "Racing in the Street" and the title track, transforming the pathetic into the tragic. Some attributed the album's embattled tone to Springsteen's legal troubles, but it carried on from Born to Run, in which Springsteen had first begun to view his colorful cast of characters as "losers." The box set was nominated for, and won, a 2012 Grammy Award for Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Package. artist: "Bruce Springsteen", The story running through the album is a surprisingly bitter one. }; The words “darkness” / “dark” appear in six of the tracks, while nine of them feature the “night” / “tonight”. The lyrics of these new songs were written from a more mature viewpoint -- teenage obsessions replaced by a working man's concerns. [5] Springsteen says, "...when I saw the picture I said, 'That's the guy in the songs.' Perhaps, it's even fair to say that the song describes a character like the main character in Born to Run but years later. English thesaurus is mainly derived from The Integral Dictionary (TID). Uplifting, downbeat, bleak, and mad as hell, Darkness... is a spellbinding B-movie epic to follow the blockbuster of Born To Run. Christine McVie wrote "Songbird" for Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album in just half a hour after she woke up in the middle of the night with the song in her head. For another thing, it's a very down-tempo effort -- not so much ballad-heavy as it is restrained, without the multiple bridges and the r-&-b flashes of earlier albums.
