Bruce Springsteen - Tougher Than the Rest
Unlike many of Springsteen's earlier, more upbeat tracks, "Tougher Than the Rest" has a slower tempo and a more somber tone. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that's been tested by time and circumstance. Springsteen's protagonist is determined to prove his love and commitment to his partner, even in the face of adversity. The line, "The road is dark and it's a thin thin line/But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time", encapsulates the song's central theme of enduring love.

Musically, "Tougher Than the Rest" is a departure from some of Springsteen's earlier, more rock-oriented material. The song features a stripped-down arrangement, with Springsteen's vocals taking center stage. The backing instrumentation, including a prominent organ part, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that complements the song's intimate lyrics.

The song's lyrics paint a vivid of a passionate and intense love affair. Springsteen's protagonist is desperate for his lover to prove the depth of their connection. "Prove it all night, that's what I want you to do," he sings with raw emotion, expressing a longing for a love that is both physical and spiritual. The lyrics are filled with sexual innuendo and imagery, reflecting Springsteen's early exploration of adult themes.

Musically, "Prove It All Night" is a powerhouse. The song features a driving rhythm section, with a pounding bassline and a relentless drumbeat. Springsteen's guitar playing is raw and energetic, adding to the song's intensity. The band's performance is tight and focused, creating a wall of sound that is both exhilarating and satisfying.

Bruce Springsteen's vocal performance is also a standout feature of the song. His voice is full of passion and conviction as he delivers the lyrics with raw intensity.

Cliff Richard says not being a father has 'never bothered' him
------
Sir Cliff had his first hit in 1958, when he was 18. He has gone on to sell more than 20million records in the UK and is the only artist to have had a No 1 record in each of the five decades from the 1950s to the 1990s. He is preparing to hit the road again in June for his UK Midsummer Nights tour.

He has put his extraordinary longevity as a performer down to a strict diet and a punishing exercise regime as well as avoiding drink and drugs.

And the singer, who is a committed Christian, has now admitted that as a young performer in the 1950s and 1960s he was so naive about drugs that he had no idea that other stars were freely using illegal substances backstage. However, he said he was never tempted to take drugs, fearing that it would end his career and stop him ‘living the dream’.

In fact, the practical Wynette renewed her cosmetology license every year until her death, just in case she ever had to go back to earning a living as a beautician.
