Il colpaccio! Se ne parlava da giorni ma ora è ufficiale. Bruce Springsteen lunedì sera sarà al Festival Internazionale del film di Roma per assistere alla proiezione di The Promise: the making of Darkness on the edge of town, docu-film già passato a Toronto e diretto dal suo collaboratore scenico e archivista, ed ovviamene regista, Thom Zimny.
In Concorso nella sezione L’altro Cinema / Extra, che da anni, a manifestazione conclusa, finisce quasi sempre per essere quella più interessante, e cinefila, dell’intero Festival, il film omaggia uno dei più celebri album del Boss, nato alla fine degli anni 70. “E’ stata una grande esperienza lavorare con Bruce, Jon Landau e la E Street Band”, dice invece il regista Thom Zimny. “E’ un grande onore, per me, partecipare a questo festival meraviglioso e sono davvero elettrizzato dall’idea di presentarvi il mio film”.
Il 16 novembre Sony Music pubblicherà The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story di Bruce Springsteen. Una fantastica confezione deluxe composta da oltre 6 ore di filmati e riprese video inedite e due ore di musica realizzate nel periodo 1976-1978. Un ricco cofanetto che contiene 3 cd: uno con la versione rimasterizzata 2010 di Darkness On The Edge Of Town del 1978 nella sua scaletta originale e due con ben 21 canzoni inedite. Aspettando le reazioni dalla città eterna, con il red carpet che promette di essere preso d’assalto dai tantissimi fan italiani della leggenda del rock, godiamoci pure una clip tratta dal docu-film.

30 ott 2010 - 21:54 - #2They’re still racing out at the Trestles
But that blood it never burned in her veins
Now I hear she’s got a house up in Fairview
And a style she’s trying to maintain
Well if she wants to see me
You can tell her that I’m easily found
Tell her there’s a spot out ‘neath Abram’s Bridge
And tell her there’s a darkness on the edge of town
Everybody’s got a secret Sonny
Something that they just can’t face
Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
They carry it with them every step that they take
Till some day they just cut it loose
Cut it loose or let it drag ‘em down
Where no one asks any questions
Or looks too long in your face
In the darkness on the edge of town
Some folks are born into a good life
Other folks get it anyway anyhow
I lost my money and I lost my wife
Them things don’t seem to matter much to me now
Tonight I’ll be on that hill ‘cause I can’t stop
I’ll be on that hill with everything I got
Lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
I’ll be there on time and I’ll pay the cost
For wanting things that can only be found
In the darkness on the edge of town

30 ott 2010 - 21:55 - #3Ma la mia preferita è:
Lights out tonight
trouble in the heartland
Got a head-on collision
smashin’ in my guts, man
I’m caught in a cross fire
that I don’t understand
But there’s one thing I know for sure girl
I don’t give a damn
For the same old played out scenes
I don’t give a damn
For just the in betweens
Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul
I want control right now
talk about a dream
Try to make it real
you wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
for a moment that just don’t come
Well, don’t waste your time waiting
CHORUS
Badlands, you gotta live it everyday
Let the broken hearts stand
As the price you’ve gotta pay
We’ll keep pushin’ till it’s understood
and these badlands start treating us good
Workin’ in the fields
till you get your back burned
Workin’ ‘neath the wheel
till you get your facts learned
Baby I got my facts
learned real good right now
You better get it straight darling
Poor man wanna be rich,
rich man wanna be king
And a king ain’t satisfied
till he rules everything
I wanna go out tonight,
I wanna find out what I got
Well I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the love that you gave me
I believe in the faith that could save me
I believe in the hope
and I pray that some day
It may raise me above these
CHORUS
mmmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmmm
For the ones who had a notion,
a notion deep inside
That it ain’t no sin
to be glad you’re alive
I wanna find one face
that ain’t looking through me
I wanna find one place,
I wanna spit in the face of these badlands
CHORUS
