"Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen
Strong Songs
A Dedication and Announcement of a Break
The chapter is a heartfelt tribute to the speaker's father who recently passed away, expressing gratitude for support received and announcing a break before the next season. The speaker emphasizes the power of music for solace, inspiration, and transformation, urging listeners to take care and embrace its effects.
In the season six finale, Kirk takes a deep dive into Bruce Springsteen's signature song, 1975's "Born to Run." It's all here: tremolo guitar riffs, glockenspiel arpeggios, endless sus chords, and a sax solo for the ages. Baby, we were born for it.
