I'd dare to say it's his best song since, what do you think? I'll say, um..... "My City Of Ruins"??? <br /><br />Bruce spoke to Rolling Stone about the evolution of the song: "I wrote the title down (in the infamous notebook) and it sat there for years. Then I did a lot more reading. And I started to get into this post-apocalyptic survivor idea. The idea of these travellers in the wasteland, and what's this guy trying to do? He's trying to hold on to their humanness, their humanity in all of this ruin. That was the idea. That's who this guy is, the guy who is hunting out remnants of what makes the spirit."<br /><br />The video kinda reflects that concept. Reminded me immediately of 'The Road'. C'mon now TJ, there's a wee bit of vanity in the gratuitous shots of Bruce's 64 year-old six-pack abs. Hell, I'm just jealous... And yeah, he does a good job "acting" knackered, but nothing compared to how he actually looked in the documentary DVD's of recording BTR & Darkness. Gaunt and utterly exhausted... Again... again... again... Six months recording one song. I don't know how or why the guys stuck with him. Actually, I guess Sancious & Boom Boom did leave early...<br /><br />Interesting video. I like it... <br /><br />"Strength is vanity, and time is illusion..."Tim Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01089890504560756715noreply@blogger.com
