THE NIGHT - V1 | 4:00 | uncirculating |
NIGHT - V2 | 2:55 | ESR / BTRS |
NIGHT - V3 | 2:51 | WAR / VAFH / BWNH / BTRS |
NIGHT - V4 - take 8 | 2:57 | BORN TO RUN |
Note: V1 of "The Night" was recorded at 914 Sound Studios, Blauvelt, NY from August-October 1974, and included in a possible album sequence in late 1974. V2 has a core rhythm track, guide vocal and guitar, V3 includes double-tracked vocals. Both possibly recorded 1974-75 at 914 Sound Studio, or at the Record Plant on May 10, 1975. Take 8 of 10 recorded that day was marked 'Great - Hold', which suggests that one was the recording used for Born To Run, as no further recordings of the song are known. The first line of the song was re-used from Springsteen's Steel Mill composition 'Oh Mama', from 1970.
Studio Sessions: Born To Run
Night |
Get up every morning at the sound of the bell
You get to work late and the boss man's giving you hell
Till you're out on a midnight run
Losing your heart to a beautiful one
And it feels right as you lock up the house
Turn out the lights and step out into the night
And the world is busting at its seams
And you're just a prisoner of your dream
Holding on for your life, 'cause you work all day
To blow 'em away in the night
The rat trap's filled with soul crusaders
The Circuit's lined and jammed with chromed invaders
And she's so pretty that you're lost in the stars
As you jockey your way through the cars
And sit at the light, as it changes to green
You put faith in your machine and off you scream into the night
And you're in love with all the wonder it brings
And every muscle in your body sings as the highway ignites
You work nine to five and somehow you survive till the night
Well, all day they're busting you up on the outside
But tonight you're gonna break on through to the inside
And it'll be right, it'll be right, and it'll be tonight
And you know she will be waiting there
And you'll find her somehow you swear
Somewhere tonight, you'll run sad and free
Until all you can see is the night
