Bruce Springsteen
Secret Garden

THE REVIEW

What is it that people like about Bruce Springsteen?

I've always appreciated his simplicity.
He never needed to radically change his musical style.
A guitar in hand, the E-Street Band backing him up (almost always), and the knack for writing straightforward songs that hit you in the face with the lives of his characters and their uniqueness.
In some ways, like Lou Reed, but that's another story.

The example that comes to mind is the beautiful and sparse Nebraska.

Many songs I love are often underrated in concert setlists and by the artists themselves, and in my opinion, that's the case with Secret Garden.

Released as a single in 1995 to promote his Greatest Hits and later included in the soundtrack of the film "Jerry Maguire", the song, from a certain point of view, deals with the theme of incommunicability.

Is it right to have secrets with those closest to us?
But the question I ask myself:
Is it right, if you care about someone, to want to know everything about them?

Everyone has the right to reserve a place within themselves to keep their deepest feelings and memories.

And no matter how much you give of yourself, there is always a secret garden miles away from prying eyes. And there you put what you want, who you want. No one judges you and there is neither right nor wrong.

There are you and your mistakes.
