Little Steven & The Disciples Of Soul. Inside Of Me

Uno de los tipos que más admiro en el mundo del rock´n roll es Steve Van Zant. Alias Little Steven. El Silvio de Los Soprano. El Pepito Grillo de Bruce Springsteen. El alma de la E Street Band. Un sujeto apasionado del rock´n roll y aledaños, metido en mil y un proyectos y siempre inquieto. Productor de uno de mis discos favoritos de la historia (Demolition 23), compositor de algunas impresionantes canciones, guitarrista solvente y ocasional arreglista de la sección de viento en algún tema de su colega Springsteen. 

En el documental del 25 aniversario de Born To Run hay unas cuantas divertidas anécdotas que tienen como protagonista a Little Steven. Mi favorita es cuando se explica como acudió al rescate de la sección de viento del tema Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out. Steven sin formación musical reglada les explicó a los hermanos Brecker cómo tenían que tocar sus partes correspondientes en el mencionado tema (esta parte se localiza a partir del minuto 55). Les dijo, ¡Lo tengo! Es así. Pin Pan. Eso es tener clase. 

Aquí va una de las canciones que figuraron en su primer trabajo en solitario. Un muy buen álbum con temas tan potentes como este Inside of Me incluido en la banda sonora de Los Soprano.

Even if it's all over, don't ever say it was all in vain

And don't tell me everything we believe in has been washed away

Because something still remains

I known it still remains, because I'm still the same

And there ain't nothing gonna change my mind

Because I've spent my whole life just trying to find

Something I know I need but can't define

Everything I ever wanted is here baby

It's still alive inside of me

It never died inside of me

Everybody tells me, open up your eyes, it can never be like it used to be

I say to them, open up your heart, you see just what you want to see

Is it too much for you to see the truth

Every time you look in my face

Ain't it a little late in the game to throw your hand in

And ain't it a little late in the game to forget everything we've been

Trapped by the locked doors you never could get in

It's still alive inside of me

It never died inside of me

There was a moment in time, we ould almost taste the adventure every day

Now I know that we're a little bit older

but that don't mean there's nothing new left to say

Now we spend the days walking away instead of trying to do something about it

You oughta be right by my side

Instead of trying to find a place to hide

Fighting to keep everything that we had baby

It's still alive inside of me

It never died inside of me
