I've always considered this an amazing record.
The one recorded in 1978.
I've been haunted by the images of the said woman and the men who try to reach her from outside into her darkness. There's the Priest who's known her whole life it seems or the cop who visits her or the person from which Bruce writes the song, the one who knows her best the one who's locked inside the jail. She's a ghost much like the lost people from all of "Darkness" and then people who live on "The River".
Then there's the recording itself: distorted, overbright, it's overwhelming the space it inhabits.
I'd like to hear from others who admire this track and the things it reminds you of.
Thanks for reading.
