Cover du Jour : Bruce Springsteen


A very quickly recorded cover of "The Promise", a dark gem from the 70's...

Some have suggested over the years that the song was about business issues Springsteen faced at the time, but the man himself refuted that trivial theory, stating that he wasn't writing songs about lawsuits.

Indeed, what we've got here, beyond the americana, is the universal tale of loss, disillusion, human frailty, and things going somewhat wrong...

Great songwriting and beautiful lyrics.

Piano and Prophet 08 for my very humble version...
