Virtually every song here is related to that tragedy either directly or indirectly. Some, like the surging \"My City in Ruins\" and the melancholy \"Empty Sky\" largely eschew metaphor, while others approach the situation from more oblique angles. \"Mary's Place\" is a rousing roots-rocker about finding joy in the face of sadness, while both the Eastern-flavored \"Worlds Apart\" and the homegrown \"Let's Be Friends\" address the need for communication and understanding between disparate entities.\n\u003cbr\u003eMusically, many of THE RISING's songs are in wide-screen, anthemic mode, as Bruce and company attempt to rally their wounded country with positivity and clear-eyed optimism without shrinking from unpleasant reality. The interstitial ballads take the poignant storytelling mode Springsteen employed on his last new album, 1995's THE GHOST OF TOM JOAD, and apply it to THE RISING's more universal themes. Whatever the format, the enthusiastic camaraderie of the E Streeters and their Boss is audible and infectious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2015-01-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49261787250930,"sku":"J1OFJF-BLR0-PB","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/bruce-springsteen-the-rising_mBjAl.jpg?v=1779726148","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/the-rising","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
