Jungleland

Here is a musical interlude:- Jungleland, one of my favourite Bruce Springsteen tracks.

I love this one because of the urbanity, all the variety of urban life, our struggles, our tragedies, our love, our laughter, its all here in the song. And of course as ever there is hope, there is always hope and its encapsulated here in the wailing saxophone of Clarence Clemants ( RIP big man).

Beneath the city two hearts beat; soul engines running through a night so tender ... Outside the streets on fire in a real death waltz ... And the poets round here don't write nothing at all they stand back and let it all be. They try and make an honest stand, but they wind up wounded, not even dead, tonight in Jungleland.

We've all been there, we are all from there and we will survive it too.
