BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - VH-1 Storytellers

The insightful Storytellers series are great for fans of the artist involved, as well as those may not care much, but can find it compelling to get the details behind some of the world's best known songs. Sure, sometimes we want things to remain a mystery, and not have it demystified by a show like this. Here we get old Bruce conveying his thoughts, emotions and inspiration behind some of his tunes. Some Springsteen fans have chapters of favourites, not mere isolated tracks. The ones he focuses on here include Devils & Dust, Blinded By The Light, Brilliant Disguise, Nebraska, Jesus Was An Only Son, Waitin' On A Sunny Day, The Rising, and Thunder Road. He expands on the personal, human, philosophical, social and political layers, and highlights the true songwriting art that is not always what people assume. Bruce chose to perform solo with an acoustic guitar and harmonica as opposed to being backed by a band, making it more intimate and easier to pinpoint the nuances he focuses on (even though he confesses not really being sure how to go about explain these creations!).
