Music Monday: Springsteen- Letter to You

Our Music Monday series was created during the lockdown of the pandemic. While we enjoyed creating it, and some of you expressed enjoying it as well, we have decided to put our efforts towards other creative endeavors within our blog. Even though the series has been archived, you may still peruse other Music Monday posts. Thank you for allowing us to create interesting content for you and hanging with us during the pandemic and beyond.

We have a blog series called, “Music Monday,” here on Arner Adventures. Since music creates a soundtrack for our day-to-day living, it only makes sense. “Letter to You” arrives as the first single of the forthcoming Springsteen album of the same name, to be released October 23rd. This, after 8 years since 2012’s “Wrecking Ball,” the last release of original material featuring the E Street Band.

“Letter to You” comes off as a letter to fans from an artist just over 70, who is looking back and reflecting on the journey we’ve shared through nearly 50 years of his writing, recording, and performing. The song offers all you want from an E Street Band single. The band is as polished as ever, and mostly the same lineup since the 1970’s, minus a few departed players. There is a full sound of layered guitars, keyboards and organ fills, reminiscent of classic era E Street Band. Possibly the only exception being the signature sax solo from Clarence.

Springsteen has been on quite a role in recent years. His autobiography, “Born to Run” is one of the best rock bios you will ever read. His one-man Broadway show, “Springsteen on Broadway” detailing his musical journey, ran for 14 months (and can be found on Netflix) and last year’s “Western Stars” was arguably his best album of original material in 30 years. Springsteen reportedly had not written for the E Street Band in 7 years until, low and behold, last year in a brief spurt of inspiration, wrote the 9 new songs that make-up the new album. 3 older songs which pre-date his recording career but were never recorded, have been recorded to round out the new record. Springsteen’s voice sounds strong, earnest, and sincere on “Letter to You.” If this is any indicator of what’s to come, I will be eagerly anticipating the full album release of “Letter to You,” to arrive in my mailbox.

About arneradventures

Hi, we are Shannon and Gerry Arner, and our rescue, fur baby, Betty White. After owning our own business, working 24/7, we made a lifestyle change and decided to make the most out of life. We sold our house, downsized, and moved to the coast. We are wanderlusters; we live life minimally, but fully. We live each day as an adventure, and enjoy sharing them with you!

    Ger, my favorite concert of all time is the Springsteen concert at Frankfurt, Germany in the mid eighties. It was his Born in the USA tour. All of us Americans there in the crowd went wild when he started till he finished. Great times. The one at Chapel Hill was probably the second best. Bruce is a performer that puts his heart and soul into to giving the fans the best show possible. Looking forward to the next album.

January can be challenging for a lot of people. With the struggles from the holidays, whether expectations were set high, or post-holiday letdown, January leads the year with the highest depressive episodes.

Alise, alongside her husband, are travel bloggers. You can find their blog at Tales From an Untamed Soul. Alise and her husband’s story aligns so closely with ours. We were really intrigued by their journey surrounding selling their belongings, being travel bloggers, traveling 365 days a year, and staying in Airbnbs. Their story differs in that they are digital nomads. Alise wants to help individuals create a life they don’t want or need a vacation from. 
🎙️
We chat with Alise about:
☑ The catalyst for making the decision to sell all of their belongings and travel full time.
☑ Alise discusses stored emotions in the body, and how that can make you ill.
☑ How Alise practices checking in with her body and her healing process.
☑ Work-life balance in her lifestyle and boundaries.
☑ Alise discusses living life to the fullest, and how her e-book can help you to do the same.
☑ Alise answers our “Fast Five” questions and the most important question, “What does a life well lived mean to you?” Swipe left to hear a snippet of her answer! 👈🏻
