| Eric Church – Springsteen Lyrics
| 10 years ago

I came to this song as a huge Bruce Springsteen fan. I think Eric Church did a great job, both in incorporating Springsteen lyrics, and in evoking Springsteen's feel of young love in working class America. I just have one more crazy interpretation, and it's surprising to me that I hadn't ever had this thought before, but perhaps Eric Church did. Even in the context of this song, the name "Springsteen" comes across as almost a non sequitur (unless, of course, the other commenters are correct and it took place at a Springsteen concert, which is possible). And when I saw it there, in a line unto itself, another interpretation occurred to me: He's actually singing "Spring's Teen." It's a reference to the teenage years, and Spring as a metaphor for when love was young and new, and that's why he sounds so wistful when he says it. |

I wonder if Weller was called by "Miranda," the woman who called many famous men in the 1970s and 80s, as documented in Vanity Fair. Billy Joel wrote a song, Laura, that reminds me of this song. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_Grosvenor |

| Billy Joel – Laura Lyrics

In the 1970s and 80s, a mysterious woman calling herself Miranda called many famous men and established telephone relationships with them. Bryan Burrough chronicled her activities in Vanity Fair. Billy Joel was among the people she called, and he would write songs and leave them on her answering machine. This song is clearly about her. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_Grosvenor |
