Fire and Rain

Warner Records, under Warner. He will not bundle the losses into one moral.

Warner Bros. released it. Warner Records holds the imprint. The song is what it sounds like when a young man has already had enough loss to stop performing invulnerability, and not enough years to make it a persona.

Let someone in a real grief hear it. Do not turn it into a mood for a drive.

The eight

  1. Industry

    8/10

    Three sorrows, kept distinct. That is writing.

  2. Household

    6/10

    A friend, named by the missing.

  3. Piety

    5/10

    He has seen lonely times. He does not dress them as depth.

  4. Courage

    7/10

    He says Suzanne's death without a speech.

  5. Republic

    4/10

    Private losses, told cleanly.

  6. Temperance

    7/10

    Grief, not a spiral he enjoys.

  7. Truth

    9/10

    He does not pretend he saw it coming in a useful way.

  8. Stewardship

    7/10

    A way to say more than one hard thing without ranking them for an audience.

Live historicallyIf you play it, do not talk over it. After, ask if there is a name the house has not said.

Born to Run

Columbia, under Sony. The highway is an escape. The reason is a life together.

Columbia released it. Sony owns Columbia. The song is not only a car. It is a man who has looked at the work on offer and decided he will not spend Wendy on it. The romance is real. So is the risk that 'the night' becomes the whole plan.

Play it for someone about to take a smaller life out of fear. Then ask where they will actually live when the highway ends.

The eight

  1. Industry

    9/10

    A wall of players, arranged like a last chance. That is labor.

  2. Household

    7/10

    Wendy, named. He wants her in the passenger seat, not as a night.

  3. Piety

    4/10

    The town is a trap. The sacred thing is getting out.

  4. Courage

    8/10

    He is scared and he says go.

  5. Republic

    6/10

    A dying town, a job that will not save them. He tells the truth about it.

  6. Temperance

    5/10

    The night is huge. It is aimed at a future, not a blackout.

  7. Truth

    7/10

    He does not pretend the street is fine.

  8. Stewardship

    7/10

    A young vow. Worth hearing before a person settles for less.

Live historicallyOne play, loud, then the question: if you run, who is in the car, and what town are you building at the end of it?
