Songwriter's Toolbox - Multiple Meanings (Bruce Springsteen)

How does a great writer layer meanings in their lyrics?  In "Into the Fire", Bruce Springsteen gives us a fantastic example.  Also, today is the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, DC.  I'm sharing this amazing song (and the story behind it) as a remembrance of those who died that day - from office workers to passengers to police and fire fighters - and in the spirit of giving comfort to those who lost loved ones in those attacks.

Want to learn what makes great songs great? In each podcast of the Songwriter's Toolbox we highlight a professional songwriting tool. But you don't have to know music theory - the show is meant to be accessible to everyone. Music lovers love it because they can hear more of what's going on in songs. Songwriters love it because they learn practical tools to improve their own songwriting. The Songwriter's Toolbox is where I keep that tools that I use in my role as the Song Analyst on national weekly radio program Art of the Song - Creativity Radio (www.artofthesong.org). It's also the title of my forthcoming book! FYI: In my daily life I'm Creative Director for Chocolate Strawberry Studios (www.ChocolateStrawberryStudios.com).
