Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born
September 23, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. He has
released 20 studio albums, many of which feature his backing band the E Street Band.
Originally from the Jersey Shore, he is
one of the originators of the heartland rock style of music, combining mainstream rock musical style with
narrative songs about working class American life. During a career that has
spanned six decades, Springsteen has become known for his poetic, socially
conscious lyrics and energetic stage performances, sometimes lasting up to four
hours in length. He
has been nicknamed "the Boss".
In 1973 Springsteen released his first two
albums, Greetings
from Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle in 1973, neither of which earned him a large audience. He changed
his style and reached worldwide popularity with Born to Run in 1975.
It was followed by Darkness on
the Edge of Town(1978) and The River(1980),
which topped the US Billboard 200 chart. His first album without the E Street Band was Nebraska(1982). Born in the U.S.A.(1984),
which reunited Springsteen with the E Street Band, became his most commercially
successful album and one of the best-selling
albums of all time. Seven of its singles reached
the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100,
including the title track.
Springsteen recorded his next three albums, Tunnel of
Love(1987), Human Touch(1992),
and Lucky Town(1992)
using mostly session musicians. He re-assembled the E Street Band for 1995's Greatest Hits and The Ghost of
Tom Joad. His last release of the 1990s was the EP Blood
Brothers(1996).
Springsteen dedicated his 2002 album The Rising to the victims of the September 11
attacks. Springsteen released two more folk albums, Devils & Dust(2005)
and We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions(2006),
followed by two more albums with the E Street Band: Magic(2007)
and Working on a Dream(2009).
His next two albums, Wrecking Ball(2012)
and High Hopes(2014),
topped album charts worldwide. His latest releases include the solo Western Stars (2019) and E Street Band-featuring Letter to You(2020).
The Rising is the twelfth studio album by
American recording artist Bruce Springsteen,
released on July 30, 2002, on Columbia Records.
In addition to being Springsteen's first studio album in seven years, it was
also his first with the E Street Band in 18 years. Based in large part on Springsteen's reflections during
the aftermath of the September 11,
2001 attacks, the album predominantly centers
upon themes of relationship struggles, existential crisis and social uplift.
Upon its release, The Rising was a critical
and commercial success, being hailed as the triumphant return for Springsteen.
The album became Springsteen's first to top the US Billboard 200 since Tunnel of
Love in 1987. It also garnered a Grammy Award
for Best Rock Album in 2003; although nominated
for the Album of the
Year award as well, it was beaten by Norah Jones's debut
album Come Away with Me. The
title song "The Rising"
was also a Grammy recipient.
It's rainin' but
there ain't a cloud in the sky
Musta been a tear from your eye
Everything'll be okay
Funny thought I felt a sweet summer breeze
Musta been you sighin' so deep
Don't worry we're gonna find a way
I'm waitin', waitin'
on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
I'm waitin' on a sunny day
Without you I'm
workin' with the rain fallin' down
I'm half a party in a one dog town
I need you to chase the blues away
Without you I'm a drummer girl that can't keep a beat
An ice cream truck on a deserted street
I hope that you're coming to stay
I'm waitin', waitin'
on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin' on a sunny day
Hard times baby, well
they come to tell us all
Sure as the tickin' of the clock on the wall
Sure as the turnin' of the night into day
Your smile girl, brings the mornin' light to my eyes
Lifts away the blues when I rise
I hope that you're coming to stay
I'm waitin', waitin'
on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin' on a sunny day.
