More Bruce

The song for today is "Adam Raised a Cain" by Bruce Springsteen off arguably Bruce's best album, Darkness on the Edge of Town. While every song off this album is a winner, my favorite Springsteen album would be his first, Greetings from Asbury Park.

On to the song, the song has obvious biblical references like many Springsteen songs (i.e. his use of Mary as the female character in his songs that he commented on during his VH1 behind the music show). The climax of this song comes after a long instrumental that ends with a long section of cymbal being played. The instrumental includes some great guitar riffs that you should check out. The climax is when Bruce starts singing again, you really feel the intensity in his voice. Bruce growing up did not get along with his father and you can really tell some pent up anger in this song

Another song which is great and yet has a golden section. Coincidence?
