Zitat:
“Thunder Road”
When Bruce Springsteen arranged the track order on Born to Run, he wanted the album to convey the sense of one long, sweaty day in New Jersey. “There is something about the [piano] melody of Thunder Road’ that suggests a new day,” Springsteen told Rolling Stone in 2005. “Which is why that song ended up first on the record, instead of ‘Born To Run.’” Springsteen spent months slowly tweaking the song before he cut it in the studio, often playing those in-progress versions on the road. It was originally called “Wings For Wheels,” but when he saw the poster for Robert Mitchum’s 1958 movie Thunder Road he knew he had a title. – Quelle
