We keep on turning #wedraaiendoor: Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia

 

Each Tuesday and Thursday Anne from Satur9's World  play a musical pingpong game where we choose a new music song based on each other's previous choice by association of a name, style, lyric, style, location or whatever crosses in our mind.  We never know what the next song will be chosen and are forced to explore beyond our comfort zone due to each other's choices.


Anne has posted last Tuesday the Go-Betweens with Streets of your town.   As often, she introduces me to new music. This Australian band was unknown to me. 

So how to continue on this music? I doubted between 2 themes : Australia and streets. 

Streets

  • Dancing on the streets - David Bowie & Mick Jagger
  • Our house in the middle of the street - Madness
  • Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen
  • Baker street - gerry rafferty
  • Streets (fade out ) - Radiohead
  • Bronski Beat: Smalltown boy


Australia

  • Down under - Men at work
  • Kylie Minogue
  • Savage garden: Truly madly deeply...


Hmm the latter was too cheesy even if they originate from Brisbane, as do the Go-Betweens.  And Down Under seemed to cheerful upbeat and Kylie...mweeeh. 

So streets, it had to be.   I watched all the video clips and wanted mostly the effect of the street scenes passing by.  So Bruce Springsteen walking through the streets was the best link...
