@dustafterreign I JUST SAW YOUR TAGS!!! *brings you close and whispers seductively* talk to me about bruce >__________________>

also he’s got like 300 albums so if you want me to rec you what to listen I can I can I can

OKAY so I’m in this poetry class that’s three hours once/week and it’s the fucking worst? because my teacher is one of those skeezy poets who calls “your clitoris” a one line poem? (that’s not one that I know of but it’s that strain)

SO WE WERE LIKE hey we should listen to music after this mid-class break (which I initiated accidentally) and we put on Wrecking Ball? AND “We Take Care of Our Own” was like, yellow spikes and so much joy? we didn’t listen to the whole album but I left class and curled up in a corner and listened to it and I just. I’m BLOWN AWAY. Why are the Beatles popular when music like this exists?

also I wrote a poem (kind of) about the first three songs from Wrecking Ball which I can send you and I would love recs because I’m kind of shell-shocked by just how much I liked that album

Bruce Springsteen is classified as a folk singer but he gets to the heart and soul of working class America like no one I know. The fear, the desperation, isolation, poverty, the urge to escape, and the hope of the never ending highway. He is by far one of the best lyricists ive heard so it’s only fitting that you listened to him during a poetry class.

and oh man bae, Wrecking Ball is good but it’s not even close to being one of his best??! so hang on your hat yo. hands down the albums you ABSOLUTELY have to listen to and yes these are in order:

  1. Born to Run (the ULTIMATE classic, his claim to fame)
  2. The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle (one of my personal faves)
  3. Born in the USA (very 80s, LISTEN TO THE LYRICS OF THE TITLE SONG, don’t be fooled by the catchy beat it’s a charged criticism, instant classic)
  4. The Rising (rumored to have been written after the 9/11 attacks after some one rolled down their window and said “we need you now” not overtly political if youre not looking for it, really just a good album)
  5. Darkness on the Edge of Town (continues the Born to Run vibe but it is its own thing; Candy’s Room is one of my all time faves)

So yes have fun with that feel free to come cry @ me with what you think <3
