Editorial Reviews
ψ The Drive All Night EP is anchored by Glen Hansard's compelling studio recording of the Bruce Springsteen classic, a live highlight of his 2012 tour with Eddie Vedder. ψ Eddie rejoins Glen here to recreate the magic of their on-stage performances, singing harmony vocals as Jake Clemons, nephew of the late great Clarence Clemons, plays saxophone. The whole track becomes a tribute to Springsteen and his musical and activist legacy.

Glen Hansard
“Drive All Night”
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars
ψ If Bruce Springsteen’s The River taught us anything, it’s that The Boss is one of the best ballad writers the U.S. has ever known. Glen Hansard of The Frames and Once fame understands this well, having just released his own version of Springsteen’s show-stopper “Drive All Night.” Extending to the original’s nearly 9-minute running time, Hansard’s version has a gorgeous arrangement of its own, his raspy, Springsteen-esque growl backed by acoustic guitar, piano, and sax from the E Street Band’s Jake Clemons. ψ Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder also adds his own backing vocals, lending a bassy counterpoint to Hansard’s own emotional lead, but it’s still very much Hansard that’s the focal point here — channeling the spirit of Springsteen’s original performance. The track is featured on a new EP, titled Drive All Night, which features three original tracks in addition to this one. But Hansard’s performance is strong enough to warrant an entire album’s worth of Boss covers. (http://www.americansongwriter.com/)

Glen Hansard — Drive All Night lyrics
When I lost you honey sometimes I think I lost my guts too
And I wish God would send me a word send me something I'm afraid to lose
Lying in the heat of the night like prisoners all our lives
I get shivers down my spine and all I wanna do is hold you tight
Baby, baby, baby
I swear I'll drive all night just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms
Tonight there's fallen angels and they're waiting for us down in the street
Tonight there's calling strangers, hear them crying in defeat.
Let them go, let them go, let them go do their dances of the dead (let 'em go right ahead)
And dry your eyes girl, and c'mon c'mon c'mon let's go to bed,
Baby, baby, baby
I swear I'll drive all night just to buy you some shoes
And to taste your tender charms
And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms
There's machines and there's fire waiting at the edge of town
They're out there for hire but baby they can't hurt us now
Cause you've got, you've got, you've got my love girl, you've got my love girl
Through the wind, through the rain, the snow, the wind, the rain
You've got, you've got, you've got my, my love... heart and soul...
