Diskussion:The River (Album)

Song "the river" fehlt komplett

leider wird hier gar nicht auf den wichtigsten Song selbst eingegangen, der Song "the river" verdient meiner Meinung nach, sogar einen eigenen Eintrag.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_River_(Bruce_Springsteen_song)

auch wikipedia US bringt unter dem Album das deutich zum Vorschein: "The River" makes use of a haunting harmonica part, and in some ways is a precursor to the style of his next album, Nebraska. The imagery of the chorus and the end of the song were inspired by lines from Hank Williams' 1950 hit, "Long Gone Lonesome Blues".[7] The song's depiction of how economic difficulties are interlaced with local culture also presaged the 1980s popularity of heartland rock: I come from down in the valley, Where mister when you're young — They bring you up to do, like your daddy done ... I got a job working construction, for the Johnstown Company But lately there ain't been much work, on account of the economy Now all them things that seemed so important — Well mister, they vanished right into the air Writer Robert Hilburn described the song as "a classic outline of someone who has to re-adjust his dreams quickly [, facing] life as it is, not a world of his imagination."[8] Throughout the song the river is viewed as a symbol for the dreams of the future. The narrator keeps his hopes alive even as they realistically begin to fail. That sends me down to the river, Though I know, the river is dry. It sends me down to the river, tonight The song was debuted in public at the Musicians United for Safe Energy concerts at Madison Square Garden in September 1979, and was featured in the subsequent 1980 film No Nukes three months before The River's release. "The River" was not released as a single in the U.S., but was released as a single in May 1981 in several countries in Western Europe.[9] It placed number 35 on the UK Singles Chart. It also reached number 24 on the Irish Singles Chart, number 10 in Sweden's singles chart, number 6 in the Danish Top 20 and had its best showing with a number 5 placement on Norway's singles chart. In the U.S., it gained considerable album-oriented rock airplay and became one of Springsteen's best-known songs. It was included on both his 1995 Greatest Hits and 2003 The Essential Bruce Springsteen compilations. The song was also incorporated in the European edition of the 2009 Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Greatest Hits. (nicht signierter Beitrag von 93.199.152.5 (Diskussion) 23:16, 8.
