Hoy me apetece presentaros una de las canciones que me parecen más motivadoras, sí, para empezar bien la mañana podría decirse. Esas que en cuanto empiezas a escucharla es inevitable que la vena rockera no invada tu cuerpo y, de repente, te ves bailando sin control y soltando alguna que otro verso de la canción fingiendo que te sabes la letra, cuando no te sabes más que el estribillo.
Esta canción es sin ir más lejos de la E Street Band, un grupo musical estadounidense de rock , liderada por el cantante, mundialmente conocido, Bruce Springsteen. Fue formada en 1972 aunque no fue hasta el 74, cuando establecieron al fin su nombre por el que se conoce actualmente.
Bruce, también apodado el Boss es considerado uno de los artistas más exitosos de la música rock, con ventas que superan los 64,5 millones de álbumes en los Estados Unidos y más de 120 millones a nivel mundial, y un total de diez discos números uno, un registro solo superado por The Beatles y Jay-Z
En general, las canciones de Springsteen reflejan letras con aspectos autobiográficos, principalmente sentimientos centrados en Asbury Par o Nueva Jersey, o relatos de personajes ficticios o novelescos que se enfrentan a retos o a puntos de inflexión en sus vidas.
Tras este resumen, he aquí lo más esperado:
I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't getting nowhere
Just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby I just know that there is
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey, baby, I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
You can't start a fire
Sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't getting nowhere
