‘Dancing In The Dark’ was the first single released ahead of Bruce Springsteen’s 1984 album, ‘Born in the U.S.A. and became his biggest hit, thus helping the album become the best-selling album of his career. This above named song was composed in one night by ‘The Boss’, following a row with his manager American music critic, writer, and record producer Jon Landau. Landau wanted “Born in the USA” to become a massive commercial hit, which went against Springsteen’s ethos with regards music and creativity. His lyrics discuss the difficulties of being a music artist (“check my look in the mirror, I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face”), and highlight the pressures of commercial success, while maintaining artistic integrity. “Can’t start a fire… can’t star a fire without a spark”. “This gun’s for hire, even if we’re just dancing in the dark”, confirms that despite his creative mind, it is impossible to just click your fingers and immediately produce a hit song; which of course is what this Rock Music genius actually achieved.
Vocals and Lyrics: American rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist, (Nicknamed “The Boss”)Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Dancing In The Dark.
I get up in the evenin’, And I ain’t got nothin’ to say. I come home in the mornin’, I go to bed feelin’ the same way. I ain’t nothin’ but tired, Man, I’m just tired and bored with myself, Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help, You can’t start a fire, You can’t start a fire without a spark, This gun’s for hire, Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark. Messages keeps gettin’ clearer, Radio’s on and I’m movin’ ’round my place, I check my look in the mirror, Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face, Man, I ain’t gettin’ nowhere, I’m just livin’ in a dump like this, There’s somethin’ happenin’ somewhere, Baby, I just know that there is, You can’t start a fire, You can’t start a fire without a spark, This gun’s for hire, Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark. You sit around gettin’ older, There’s a joke here somewhere and it’s on me, I’ll shake this world off my shoulders, Come on, baby, the laugh’s on me, Stay on the streets of this town, And they’ll be carvin’ you up alright. They say you gotta stay hungry, Hey baby, I’m just about starvin’ tonight, I’m dyin’ for some action, I’m sick of sittin’ ’round here tryin’ to write this book, I need a love reaction, Come on now, baby, gimme just one look, You can’t start a fire, Sittin’ ’round cryin’ over a broken heart, This gun’s for hire, Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark. You can’t start a fire, Worryin’ about your little world fallin’ apart. This gun’s for hire, Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark. Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark. Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark. Even if we’re just dancin’ in the dark. Hey baby! END
