"The Ties That Bind" is a song written and performed by Bruce Springsteen. It is the opening song on his fifth album, ''The River''. It was recorded at The Power Station in New York in May or June 1979.〔(Brucebase, On The Tracks: The River )〕 It was one of the earlier songs Springsteen wrote for ''The River'', as it was written on the road during his 1978 tour. The song was also often performed during the latter part of that tour. "The Ties That Bind" was originally intended to be released as the title track of a single album that was to be released in 1979. This proposed album was eventually scrapped and expanded to become the double album ''The River''. The contents of that album are being released on December 4, 2015 as part of ''The Ties That Bind: The River Collection'', the fifth disc of which contains the 60- minute documentary, ''The Ties That Bind''〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5161392/〕〔https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/tv/tv-listings-friday-november-27-2015/2015/11/26/a5b1aca2-92f8-11e5-a2d6-f57908580b1f_story.html〕〔http://www.salon.com/2015/11/20/springsteens_ties_that_bind_the_new_documentary_goes_deep_into_the_adult_concerns_that_fueled_the_river/〕〔http://brucespringsteen.net/news/2015/the-ties-that-bind-documentary-to-premiere-on-hbo〕 by Thom Zimny and features an interview with Springsteen on writing and recording of ''The River.'' The film illustrates the music with solo acoustic guitar performances, period concert footage, and photos of Bruce and the band. The songs on ''The River'' reveal a tension between the need for community and the need to be alone. "The Ties That Bind", along with "Two Hearts" and "Out in the Street", is one of the key songs on the album about the need for community. It is a pulsing rocker that was influenced by Jackie De Shannon's "When You Walk in the Room", Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Who'll Stop the Rain" and by The Searchers. "The Ties That Bind" has been a reasonably popular song in concert over the years, with about 200 performances through 2008.〔(The Bruce Springsteen Setlist Page )〕 An encyclopedia about Bruce Springsteen took its name from the title of this song. ==External links== * (Lyrics & album from Brucespringsteen.net ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Ties That Bind (Bruce Springsteen song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
