According to Springsteen, he came up with the title "Badlands" before he started writing the song.[4] He felt it was a "great title" but that it would be easy to blow it by not writing a worthy song for it.[4]

The riff is based on the Animals' "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood".[4] According to the editors of Rolling Stone, the song "tapped into the ferocity of the punk singles he'd been listening to at the time".[4]

In Brian Hiatt's 2019 book, Bruce Springsteen: The Stories Behind the Songs, the finished first verse is said to lay out the "narrator's essential dilemma in a more sophisticated fashion than Springsteen had managed before, acknowledging larger forces at work". He is "caught in a crossfire", Springsteen taking significant lyrical inspiration from Elvis Presley's "King of the Whole Wide World" (particularly the words "A poor man wants to be a rich man/ A rich man wants to be a king"): a song which appeared in the 1962 United Artists film Kid Galahad and featuring, in its single master version, a strong saxophone performance by Boots Randolph.

The classic E Street Band sound is immediately present on "Badlands", as a brief drum intro kicks in to a powerful piano-and-electric guitar riff. The song is taken fast, with Max Weinberg's dynamic drumming; indeed it contains his most well-known beat, a one-two-three-four-five-six-(double time) one-two-three pattern underneath the verses. Late in the song a brief guitar break leads to a Clarence Clemons tenor saxophone part.

Rolling Stone editors rated "Badlands" to be Springsteen's second-greatest song all time, behind only "Born to Run", and consider it to fit the definition of a rock anthem derived by The Who guitarist Pete Townshend, in that it is "praying onstage".[4] According to contemporary musician Jackson Browne, "Badlands" is "cool and thrilling. There's an economy of language that comes in here. He's building a persona, a lexicon of references."[4]

I'm a high schooler and I have been listening to halsey's music for a while now. BADLANDS was The album that introduced me to her discography. I was wondering if you guys know any other albums or songs similar to the style of BADLANDS.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Italy. Did you hear the Italians singing the music to the beginning of Independance Day in falsetto (Italian term by the way)? I don't listen to tons of bootlegs but I haven't heard that before. Bruce looked so happy hearing this and he even skipped his intro explaining the song.

This is what I recall from having been there: after My Hometown, all members of the Other Band were at their spots waiting for Bruce to launch the next song, but the crowd started clapping in rhythm and chanting the chorus line, which immediately evolved in chorus and counterchorus (is this the correct word for it?):

Despite some playing mistakes, including an hilariously completely fucked up ending, the band really gave their best; of course, given the reaction received from the Milan crowd, that little NJ liar played the song on 5 of the remaining 11 shows of the 1992 Euro leg, and it became a staple on the whole '92-'93 tours.

I really admire Halsey as a singer for a lot of reasons. First of all, I really love her vocals. She has a way of bringing the music to life with her voice. She really has a lot of control over her voice which allows her to manipulate it in an amazing way. I also love her lyrics, a lot of people write off her songs as the standard angst teen music, but I think that there is a lot more to her music than people see on the surface. By actually listening to her lyrics it becomes obvious that they are well thought out and poetically crafted. She uses a lot of metaphor, but at the same time her lyrics are mostly straightforwards. She works really hard on her music and when you listen to it you can tell.

Overall Badlands is a worthwhile album to listen to. I really recommend listening to any of the songs on there, or any Halsey song for that matter. Halsey clearly put a lot of thought and work into this album and it shows, so if you ever need music to paint to I strongly recommend giving this album, or the individual tracks on this album, a listen.

"Badlands" is a 1978 song by Bruce Springsteen and is the lead track from his fourth studio album Darkness on the Edge of Town and is the second single. It did poorly in the chart in the United States where it made #42. It went on to be a classic rock staple.

Lights out tonight, trouble in the heartland

Got a head-on collision smashing in my guts man

I'm caught in a crossfire 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

Baby, 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


You better listen to me baby, talk about a dream, try to make it real

You wake up in the night with a fear so real

You spend your life waiting for a moment that just don't come

Well don't waste your time waiting


Badlands, you gotta live it every day

Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay

We'll keep pushing till it's understood

And these badlands start treating us good


Working in the field till you get your back burned

Working 'neath the wheels 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 faith that could save me

I believe in the hope and I pray that some day it may raise me above these


Badlands, you gotta live it every day

Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay

Keep pushing till it's understood

And these badlands start treating us good

Awhoa whoa whoa whoa


[Guitar instrumental]

[Saxophone instrumental]


Mmmmmmmmm

Mmmmmmmmm

Mmmmmmmmm

Mmmmmmmmm

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, you gotta live it every day

Let the broken hearts stand as the price you've gotta pay

Keep moving till it's understood

And these badlands start treating us good

Awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands, awhoa whoa whoa whoa

Badlands...

"New Americana" isn't the only time Halsey evokes Del Rey. "Drive" hews close to the Lizzy Grant playbook, with saccharine strings and West Coast anhedonia that has Ultraviolence written all over it. The more successful tracks tend to be the ones that feel personal and specific. "Ghost", which also appeared on Halsey's EP, gives you a sense of what she can do when the scale is smaller. The track is a sinuous synth-pop love song whose economical runtime plays in its favor; one can almost forgive the music video for being yet another Enter the Void knockoff. "Hurricane", a bonus track that doubled as an early single, also has a striking specificity to its unusually bleak lyrics: "He's got an eye for girls of eighteen/ And he turns them out like tricks," Halsey sings, painting a troubling picture of a traumatic youth.

Which of course is exactly what happens during this part of the song in concert. Over the years, that interlude has grown in length and power and potency, an emotional and communal high point in almost every show.

The recording of Darkness On The Edge Of Town was delayed by legal machinations between Springsteen and his former manager, Mike Appel. The two battled in court over Springsteen's song publishing and ownership of his masters, finally settling out of court in May 1977.

I was lucky enough to see Halsey perform live earlier this summer. On June 12, I went with my family and some of my friends to an Imagine Dragons concert, where she opened for them. I was pleasantly surprised, finding the songs extremely catchy and honest. I had never heard of her before the concert, but after seeing her on a late-night talk show a few weeks later and finding her album available for pre-order online, I realized that she was a big up-and-coming star. ff782bc1db
