Hibs theme as well...the best football anthem of them all (after YNWA of course!). Such a great great song. Get such a sense of gratitude from listening to it.

Listening to this again.

I thought the song couldn't go higher in my estimation. Then I read the 9/11 book 'The Only Plane In The Sky' and the descriptions of the firemen climbing the towers really hit home and I couldn't help but hark back to this song. I love that he takes the physical ascension and turns it into a spiritual ascension. For some reason these lyrics in the bridge choke me:

"Spirits above and behind me,
Faces gone black, eyes burning bright
May their precious blood bind me
Lord, as I stand before your fiery light"

It's a beautiful song mate.

Huge Bruce fan as well, as you know, and still think his latest album that came out last year was up there with one of the best.

I totally agree with there you Si. I think Letter To You is probably his best E Street album since Born In The USA. Stevie Van Zandt forced him to record it in the way he used to - live and altogether in a room. And you really get that sense of togetherness and rawness from them once again.

I was listening a bit to Western Stars as well earlier today and was reminded what a phenomenal album that is as well. I hand on heart think Western Stars and Letter to You are up there amongst his very best albums - incredible to think when you consider he's now entering the 6th decade of his music career. He's maybe one of the few established acts of the last few decades who doesn't coast on his earlier works.

I can just picture his next tour opening with 'Ghosts' and the crowd going mad.

That'd be a terrific opener. That album is pitch-perfect for the ultimate Bruce/E Street experience. Here's hoping that tour gets on the road soon enough.
