Love this. Cover of a Suicide song. Suicide was a NYC band formed in the early 70's. Very experimental and not very successful. One of the 2 founding members Alan Vega died recently.
I'd love for Springsteen to release an album of nothing but covers. He has the enviable talent of finding the heart of any song. I'm always amazed when I am confronted with a fact I'd never admit to when I was younger -- there really are genuine artists in the world of rock music. He's transformed a monotonous, frothy house music/electronica song by Suicide (I listened to the original after watching this video and even with its much faster tempo it's boring) into this anthem of undying hope tinged with some kind of hidden pain. Loved this. Another reason to admire Bruce.

Steve-Both of these are on the soundtrack from AMERICAN HONEY. I think you would like the movie. It's at the Main in Royal Oak, not sure where else.
