A letter to Bruce Springsteen, the boss

I stared at this post, at this blank page for a long time .

If he was here with me, what is it that I would want to say to him. Where should I start ?

What words haven't been said or written already ?

Let's start to set the stage by saying that this post will be the reflection of my image 

meaning : magically unique and completely  imperfect .

I could tell him that his songs resonate in me like no others.

I could tell him that I "danced" many, many times alone listening to his song Dancing in the dark

I could tell him that I have a special routine every day up to my son's birthday .

Up to the October 18th I take a bath in my pool listening always the same song, Racing in the street 

And everytime when you sing the lyrics lines

" When I come home the house is dark

She sighs, "Baby, did you make it all right?"

I get chills and it's not because of the cold water :-). Those few words and the way you sing them encapsulate so much love,  so much care. Those profoundly touch me.

I could add that when I was down, I found many times confort listening to your song Cover me.

I could say the I find your music Fire to be one of the most intense and sexy music I've heard. 

I could say that your songs delivery is so unique so honest that no one can be left indifferent.

Yesterday was the 18th, a special day, my son's birthday  

But this month is extra special as by the end of the month, if all goes well I will go to your concert. 

I'll be joining thousands of people thinking only the very best of you

Enjoying every piece of the music and every line of the lyrics !

I'll be one of them and doing so I will realize one of my dreams. It should have been last year 

But you had to re schedule your tour dates , I don't care about the wait.

Knowing that I will experience beeing close to you and the E street band fills me with joy

I don't know if you ever going to read this. It is said that we are up to 3 our 4 people to connect to every beeing in the planet . Not sure it's true but who knows .

So Bruce, the boss, thank you and I guess I'll see you soon .
