clean one take …whispered 1.37am…have housemate!
you capture the despair at the heart of this formerly energetic song. one thing ive noticed about da boss is that he is almost always performing in medium level energy while the hyper band makes it seem like he is pouring out his heart. hearing the way you do this song makes me think this might have been close to how it sounded when da boss was writing it. after the commercial failure of foreign Affairs, Waits told me he was through making jazz albums and then played me a cut from the album he was working on called Jersey girl, which he was excited about beause he helt he had succeeded at emulating Springsteen. Imagine my surprise years later when I as listening to his live box set and Jersey Girl was covered on it.
