Stereo Stories are a matter of joining the dots between a song, a place and a time. This week Vin Maskell joins the dots between Glen Hansard, a love song from the Springsteen double album The River, and a five-minute drive from Moggs Creek to the Aireys Inlet general store.
I’d drive all night with my brother if I could. It would be escapism of a sort but also a rare chance to spend time, a long time, together. We’d pack sandwiches and snacks and drinks. Chocolate. A football. Some of Peter’s surfboards.
love the slow tracks on the River. Stolen Car breaks my heart with its slow build of beautiful loss.
Drive All Night is a real beauty!
great piece, this!
Thanks Peter. Much appreciated. My 25 year old son plays The River, on tape, when he borrows the old Tarago.Cheers.
