Bruce says songs ideal for housework
The singer loves people dancing to classics like Born to Run, but is just as happy if they listen while doing chores.
Bruce, 71, said: “I want people to do their laundry to my music.
He added: “I want people to vacuum floors to my music, to diaper their babies to my music.”
The Boss, who has sold more than 150 million records, also hopes fans enjoy a deeper experience by listening to his lyrics.
“I try to insert something that can, in certain moments, address your inner life by revealing my own,” he said.
“To be a spiritual tual songwriter means you
Bruce ce are primarily addressing the soul of your listeners. I would say I am a good storyteller and people like stories that connect to your emotional life.”
Despite his iconic status, Bruce admits he is a bigger hit in Europe than in his home country.
He said: “Europeans are interested in America and myth, those stories I have told since I was a young man.” And he feels his obsessive devotion to music as a teenager helped him became a global star.
“I really studied and perfected my writing skills very, very intensely. I was a onetrack mind,” he said. “Before anything – before work, girls – I was always music, music, music, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
