Because It's Tuesday - week of September 24

So it's Tuesday again.  The last one of September.  It's now officially fall which feels kind of nice.  It's my favourite season.  I like sweaters and wooly socks and leggings and the cooler weather.  The weather isn't exactly cooler right now, at least not around here, but it'll be here soon.

On Tuesdays, I share a cover song.  Because Bruce Springsteen is turning 70 this week, I'm sharing a song of his.  Now, I'm not the world's biggest Springsteen fan but I am a fan of a couple of his songs.  I am a pretty big fan of Soccer Mommy.  Soccer Mommy's cover "I'
m On Fire" is sweet and less haunting as the original.  You still hear the longing in her voice but it's softer, tender and I really like it.

Hopefully you'll enjoy this beautiful live version.  Happy Autumn everyone xo

At night, I wake up with the sheets soakin' wet
And a freight train runnin' through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire

because it's Tuesday - week of May 2

I have never been a huge fan of Bruce Springsteen (I know, I know, don't throw stuff at me, it happens, not everyone can worship him).  The only song of his that I actually really really liked was "Hungry Heart" (I bought the 45 of that in 8th grade I think).

Thanks to the Columbia House Record and Tape Club, I probably have a copy of Born in the USA around somewhere although I know it's not a record I would have picked up under any other circumstances than as part of a Columbia House order!!

In recent years, I've found myself enjoying The River and Tunnel of Love more and more.  Many years ago, I remember hearing "tougher than the rest" for the first time, as a cover by Everything But The Girl.  I loved their version of it.  It's a great pop song.

Another pop group, one I love love love, Camera Obscura also covered it.  It's a sweet treatment, I'm sure that Bruce himself must approve.  I certainly do.

Enjoy xo
