    Bruce Springsteen: The Stories Behind the Songs

    December 17, 2021
    The No. 1 way to appreciate an artist is to immerse yourself in every song he or she has ever written. Over the course of a few months in 2021, that’s exactly what I did thanks to "The Stories Behind the Songs," starting with Bruce Springsteen's Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ (1973) and working my way up to High Hopes (2014, the last album Bruce published before this book, written by Rolling Stone reporter Brian Hiatt, was released).

    Here were a few fun facts I learned from reading it:

    • I share with Bruce an all-time favorite album, Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks (“The divine seems to run through the veins of that entire album”—amen, Bruce, AMEN)

    • Bruce wrote the stellar (sexy) track “Fire” (you might know it for that “Romeo and Juliet, Samson and Delilah” lyric), for his idol, Elvis, in 1977. After the King’s death, he gave it to the Pointer Sisters. (He gave away SO MUCH MUSIC, most famously “Because th

    I look on this skiva as a turning point, both in the way I listened to music, and in everything else in my life.  We had owned a CD player for a couple of years by the time inom bought this, but the various changes and challenges in life meant that the collection was a little thin.  By the time inom picked this up everything had changed and – possibly for the first time in my life – inom was able to hear music the way it had been intended to be heard.

    The part of my life where inom drove madly around Scotland pretending to be any good at selling things came to an end in the summer of 1990, when I was recruited into an office job – Sales Operations, we called it – and had to figure out how to afford life in the south of England.

    • From humble beginnings in Middlesex, where money was scarce but dreams were encouraged, to the award-winning godfather of electronica, Gary Numan has seen it all. At school, Gary fell through the cracks of the system and was expelled. An unlikely but determined popstar, he earned his first record deal aged nineteen and, two years later, had released four bestselling albums and had twice toured the world. But, aged just twenty-five, it felt like it was all over. A twenty-plus year renaissance catalysed by a date with a super-fan. Gary catalogues his fifteen-year struggle with crippling debts, his slow, obstacle-laden journey back to the top (and the insecurity that comes with that) and why Savage reaching #2 in 2017 meant more than the heady heights of 1979. Gary also candidly discusses the importance of his fans; why having Asperger's is a gift at times; the inspiration behind the lyrics; flying around the world in 1981; IVF struggles and the joy of fatherhood and his bat
