Eddie Berman and Laura Marling - Dancing In The Dark

TUESDAY BLUES

Do you like Singer/Songwriters, or do you have a unhealthy affection to the sadness, if so you may have a case of the Tuesday Blues!

..if you see Courtney Cox give her a slap...

Eddie Berman with Laura Marling - Dancing In The Dark (2013)


My memory is getting bad.  I heard this a few months ago and was blown away, but I sadly forgot to share it. So when I saw the winner of the voice performing this exact version I needed to find it and reclaim it for Eddie & Laura.

I've posted Laura Marling tracks in the past, her talent needs to be seen to be believed - on this she's not even trying - it looks like she is thinking about her afternoon tea. She's the musical equivalent of George Best, completely effortless, sorry, I'm gushing.  As for Eddie, he's pretty rad, he has a beard and long nails. :-)

Anyway, it captures the beauty of Springsteen's tale of desperation and wanting to escape a shitty town perfectly. It also hit a nerve and triggered a number of memories from my youth. Feeling trapped living in a small Welsh mining town, wanting to escape and knowing there are better things out there....

If you are a fan of Men with Beards, like the gentle stroking of a six-string, or just a miserable bugger, Subscribe to our Spotify playlist and read more Tuesday Blues here!

Speaking as someone who IS trapped (but, we're all trapped in some way, wherever we are)in a small Welsh (former) mining village, I can only agree that this is lovely and far more palatable than The Boss's original.

One of the Boss's great tracks. Probably the best cover of the song I have heard.

This guns for hire!
