Hungry Heart, by Bruce Springsteen.
From around the same period as Being With You, and again, perhaps because I was living a capo-free life with my old Blueridge acoustic that had incredibly high action, I learned to play this with bar chords higher up the neck, but it’s nice this way, too.
Whenever I sing the part about the bar in Kingstown, I am picturing a very specific place in Kingstown, New York. Or was it Saugerties? Or even Woodstock itself? Or is that a bar from a music video? My memory is a little fuzzy, but I can see the space, and the wood, and hear this song playing, and feel loss.
