]]> Comment on Lucky Town and Human Touch by Carolyn Yates http://www.carolynyates.com/music/lucky-town-and-human-touch/#comment-880 Carolyn Yates Tue, 16 Nov 2010 20:52:16 +0000 http://www.carolynyates.com/?p=3785#comment-880 I also liked "My Beautiful Reward." A lot (and that is an excellent version). Also: I know what you mean. I used to get really attached to album versions. Like, ridiculously attached. The version of Born to Run, even, that was on Columbia Greatest Hits was the only version I liked, for years, because after you've heard something that many times the minute one note sounds slightly different it just feels weird/wrong/uncomfortable. But really, the less perfect/polished/produced versions are so much more interesting / make my brain sing. I also liked “My Beautiful Reward.” A lot (and that is an excellent version).

My Beautiful Reward and If I Should Fall Behind are wonderful wonderful songs. There is something about a Bruce Springsteen song that is only understood and experienced when you've heard and seen every version of the song so far to come. Which is an impossible feat, but something to strive for, because Bruce does this thing where he reinvents the song every single time he plays it live. It's a new song every single time. And the writing only becomes better with every reinvention. Or at least it becomes more obviously outstanding. He's reinvented Lucky Town so so many times with his life versions of the songs on that album, and it, Lucky Town, is seriously outstanding. My Beautiful Reward is an amazing song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufI1O9KNygg I appreciate this.
