Because these songs were added so late in the recording process, several of Springsteen’s band members were unavailable to record these two songs.
As a result, Springsteen quickly wrote and recorded two additional songs: “ Spirit in the Night” and “ Blinded by the Light“. Springsteen had recorded 10 other tracks for the album, but Clive Davis, president of the record label that was releasing the album, was concerned that the recorded tracks did not have enough commercial appeal. It was one of the last songs to be written and recorded for the release. The original version of “ Spirit in the Night” was released on Bruce Springsteen’s debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. A cover version performed by Manfred Mann’s Earth Band was released on the album Nightingales and Bombers and as a Top 40 single. It was also the second single released from the album.

Io e Crazy Janey facevamo l’amore nel fangoĬantando le nostre canzoncine di compleannoĪlla schiera degli angeli zingari, ci sentivamo così bene Su Billy e Davy che danzavano alla luce della lunaĬorse dentro al lago con addosso solo i calzini e una camicia La notte era chiara e le stelle sprizzavano luce In piedi diritto e lasciando che lei mi attraversasse. Leggera proprio come uno spirito nella notte (tutta la notte)Ĭome uno spirito nella notte (tutta la notte) O almeno vi aiuterà a sentirlo sul serio”ĭissi: “Sto male” lei rispose: “Tesoro lasciami curarti”.Į danzammo tutta la notte con una magica soul bandĮ lei mi baciò così bene come solo un angelo solitario può Prenderemo a bordo Hazy Davy e Killer JoeĮ vi porterò tutti là dove vanno gli angeli zingariĮ danzano come spiriti nella notte (tutta la notte)Īlzatevi in piedi ora e lasciate che vi attraversinoĮ si scrollò la polvere dal suo cappello di procione.ĭisse: “Fidatevi di questa vi mostrerà a che punto siete Ho una bottiglia di vino rosè così possiamo scolarcela Poi arrivarono Wild Billy con il suo amico G-manīilly spinse di colpo il pedale del freno e chieseĮ’ a circa un miglio lungo la parte buia della strada 88 “Crazy Janey e il suo uomo della missione Stand right up and let it shoot right through you”. Together we moved like spirits in the night, all night He ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt They were down near the water in a stone mud fight Stand right up and let her shoot through me.Īnd the stars threw light on Billy and Davy She felt so nice, just as soft as a spirit in the night
I said, “I’m hurt.” She said, “Honey let me heal it”Īnd we danced all night to a soul fairy bandĪnd she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can I think I really dug her ’cause I was too loose to fake Where you’re at, or at least it’ll help you really feel it” He said, “Trust some of this it’ll show you Well now Wild young Billy was a crazy catĪnd he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap Stand right up now and let it shoot through you Spirits in the night (all night), in the night (all night) Oh, you don’t know what they can do to you It’s about a mile down on the dark side of route eighty-eightĪnd I’ll take you all out to where the gypsy angels go ‘long came Wild Billy with his friend G-manĪnd said anybody wanna go on up to Greasy Lake
