music monday: secret garden
I’m a huge fan of Cameron Crowe. And I joined a previous Music Monday with an entry from one of his movies’ soundtrack, Almost Famous. This time it’s from another one of his movies that starred Tom Cruise. I guess, everybody knows about Jerry Maguire. It was a box office hit and it made Renee Zellwegger a household name.
Why do I love this song? For one, because Bruce Springsteen sang it. He’s the BOSS and he just won the Golden Globe for his original song in the movie, The Wrestler. Second, it kinda reminds me of a certain event in my life. It’s not a happy one though but still worth remembering.
Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen
She’ll let you in her house
If you come knockin’ late at night
She’ll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She’ll let you deep inside
But there’s a secret garden she hides
She’ll let you in her car
To go drivin’ round
She’ll let you into the parts of herself
That will bring you down
She’ll let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden don’t think twice
You’ve gone a million miles
How far did you get
To that place where you can’t remember
And you can’t forget
She’ll lead you down the path
There will be tenderness in the air
She’ll let you come just far enough
So you know she’s really there
She’ll look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
She’s got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need will always stay
A million miles away
