...Is so good, everytime you hear it, an angel gets its wings. You may think then that it only sounds as good as bells, but you'd be dumb cause it sounds better than bellz. It has a piano intro that really embodies its title: its a mix between classical and jazz piano which is pretty great, but wait until the song actually begins! The lyrics are great and you really grow to appreciate the variety of Springsteen's singing. If you've only heard Born In The U.S.A, you may think he doesn't have a very broad vocal palate, but he does. Just listen to the way he says "so walk talk, better don't walk at all" or "Won't take them corner boys, ain't go no money." The chord progression is also beautiful and the mood created in part by the soft bongo drumming in the background is gorgeous. There's also a few changes like the Gospel inspired part with the clapping on the backbeat about how "She won't take the train." This part is faster than the rest of the song, but somehow still fits in perfectly with the rest of the song.
It's from the album The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle, which is my favorite Springsteen album. Throughout the record you see Springsteen's vocal skills as well has his lyric and storytelling skills. You also see the dynamic range of the E Street Band. Anyway, New York City Serenade is the best song you've never heard. So listen to it.
