Frases de Bruce Springsteen

página 3

“Tengo la sensación de que, la noche en que miras a tu público y no te ves a ti mismo, y la noche en que el público te mira y no se ve reflejado en ti, es que todo ha terminado.”

“Si pudiera coger un simple momento con las manos.”

“A veces vuelvo a leer mis libros de la escuela y me doy cuenta de que no tienen ningún contacto con la vida real, no enseñan nada de lo que vas a necesitar en la vida. A los ocho años, cuando escuché por primera vez a los Drifters por la radio, descubrí que había más verdad en una sola canción que en todo lo que me habían enseñado en la escuela. Esto es lo que intento decirle a la gente: buscad vuestras propias raíces y sed responsables de vuestras vidas.”

“El rock llegó a mí cuando parecía que no había escapatoria posible y abrió ante mí un mundo de posibilidades.”

“La familia aporta más flexibilidad emocional y te permite llevarte bien con la vida de otra gente.”

“[ Bono ] es uno de los pocos músicos que proyectan su fe y sus ideales hacia el mundo real, de una manera fiel a las implicaciones iniciales del rock de libertad, de conexión, de posibilidad de construir algo mejor.”

“La amistad te impide resbalar al abismo.”

“La fe es esencial, y también lo es la duda. No se va a ninguna parte con sólo una de estas dos cosas.”

“Aprendimos más en tres minutos de grabación, cariño, de lo que jamás aprendimos en la escuela.”

“Sin Bob, los Beatles no habrían hecho el Sargent Pepper, los Sex Pistols no habrían hecho God Save the Queen y U2 no habría hecho Pride (in the Name of Love).”

“In the third grade a nun stuffed me in a garbage can under her desk because she said that’s where I belonged.”

“Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun.
But Mama, that's where the fun is …”

“She went away, she cut me like a knife.
Hello beautiful thing, maybe you could save my life.
In just a glance, down here on magic street,
Loves a fool's dance
And I ain't got much sense, but I still got my feet.”

“May your strength give us strength.
May your faith give us faith.
May your hope give us hope.
May your love give us love.”

“The times are tough now, just getting tougher.
This old world is rough, it's just getting rougher.
Cover me, come on baby, cover me.
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me.”

“When they built you brother, they turned this dust to gold.
When they built you brother, they broke the mold.”

“It ought to be easy, ought to be simple enough.
Man meets woman and they fall in love.
But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough.
And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above
If you want to ride on down in through this tunnel of love.”

“Better ask questions before you shoot,
Deceit and betrayal's bitter fruit.
It's hard to swallow, come time to pay
That taste on your tongue don't easily slip away.
Let kingdom come I'm gonna find my way
Through this lonesome day.”

“Ain't no angel gonna greet me.
It's just you and I my friend.
My clothes don't fit me no more.
I walked a thousand miles
Just to slip this skin.”

“The wise men were all fools, what to do?”

“Well, I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that can save me
I believe in the hope
And I pray that some day it may raise me
Above these badlands”

“I think what's happening now is people want to forget. There was Vietnam, there was Watergate, there was Iran – we were beaten, we were hustled, and then we were humiliated. And I think people got a need to feel good about the country they live in. But what's happening, I think, is that that need – which is a good thing – is gettin' manipulated and exploited. And you see the Reagan reelection ads on TV – you know: "It's morning in America." And you say, well, it's not morning in Pittsburgh. It's not morning above 125th Street in New York. It's midnight, and, like, there's a bad moon risin'. And that's why when Reagan mentioned my name in New Jersey, I felt it was another manipulation, and I had to disassociate myself from the president's kind words.”

“She'll let you in her house
If you come knockin' late at night.
She'll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right.
If you pay the price,
She'll let you deep inside.
But there's a secret garden she hides.”

“I've seen strong hearts give way
To the burdens of the day,
To the weary hands of time
Where fortune is not kind.”

“Well now everything dies baby that's a fact,
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty,
And meet me tonight in Atlantic City.”

“Now you hung with me when all the others turned away turned up their nose.
We liked the same music, we liked the same bands, we liked the same clothes.
We told each other that we were the wildest, the wildest things we'd ever seen.
Now I wished you would have told me, I wished I could have talked to you.
Just to say goodbye Bobby Jean.”

“The highway's jammed with broken heroes
On a last chance power drive.
Everybody's out on the run tonight
But there's no place left to hide.
Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness.
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul.
Someday girl, I don't know when we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and we'll walk in the sun.
But till then tramps like us, baby we were born to run.”

“You ride in a limousine the first time, it’s a big thrill but after that it’s just a stupid car.”

“Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out.
Packing up our bags maybe heading south.
I'm thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now.
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good look around.
This is your hometown.”

“And the world is busting at its seams;
And you're just a prisoner of your dreams.
Holding on for your life 'cause you work all day
To blow 'em away in the night.”

“And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds.
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god.”

“Well the highway is alive tonight,
But nobody’s kiddin’ nobody about where it goes.
I’m sittin’ down here in the campfire light
Searchin’ for the ghost of Tom Joad.”

Senorita come sit by my fire.
I just want to be your love, ain't no lie.
Rosalita you're my stone desire.”

His body lyin' on a muddy hill.
Nothin' taken, nothin' stolen;
Somebody killed him just to kill.”

“There is a blood red circle
On the cold dark ground.
And the rain is falling down.
The church door's thrown open;
I can hear the organ's song.
But the congregation's gone.
My city of ruins.
My city of ruins.”

“And she was blinded by the light. Cut loose like a deuce,
Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light.
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright.”

“We're here to re-dedicate you to The Power, The Passion, The Mystery, and The Ministry of Rock and Roll.”

“Here everybody has a neighbor,
Everybody has a friend.
Everybody has a reason to begin again.”

“And we danced all night to a soul fairy band.
And she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can.
She felt just right just like as sweet as a spirit in the night.
In the night baby don't know what she do to you?
Spirits in the night, in the night.
Stand up now and let her shoot right through you.”
