When you learn a Bruce Springsteen song, it's like learning to ride a bike. You don't forget it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that.
A song is like a saddle: you ride it for a while, and if it's the right kind of song you can sing it for the rest of your life.
You obviously don't really forget how to play the old songs; you just don't have to spend so much time convincing yourself that you remember them. Way less mental energy is spent swimming around in lyrics you've already written and chords you've already played.
It's hard to remember my childhood without remembering music.
I have a terrible memory in general, but one thing I've always been able to remember is my songs.
I never learned to ride a bicycle, and it is too late now. I never learned to drive. I never learned to swim.
I feel like I was born to ride the track.
I never took a music lesson in my life, it just came naturally.
Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it.
Anytime you ride against the best in the world, it becomes a learning process.
