Tom Smith [Editors] - Dancing in the Dark (Bruce Springsteen cover)

Wonderful cover of Dancing in the Dark. Performed by Tom Smith (lead singer of Editors)

Lyrics:
I get up in the evening, and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the moring, I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired, man I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help
(Chorus)
You can't start a fire, you can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Message just keep getting clearer, radio's on and I'm moving round the place
I check my look in the mirror wanna change my clothes my hair my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere I'm just livin in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is
(Chorus)
You sit around getting older there's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders come on baby the laughs on me
Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alright
They say you got to stay hungry hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write
This book
I need a love reaction come on baby give me just one look
(Chorus)
You can't start a fire, sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire, worryin' about your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

I'd put this in the 'best covers ever' category

[@domingle5037]

Just keep returning to this, beautiful.

[@waleefmuamar7481]

My first time 💗💗💗 if dua lipa passes away id love to sing this for her

[@Chrisamusic1]

Springsteen is a magnificent lyricist. Until I really listened to the words here, I thought it was just another pop song. Oh no. It's a beautiful tale of a man down on his luck.

[@Idk4ev]

Same. Exactly my words

[@mariagrazia241]

I am not really into covers that much, generally speaking. BUT this version is one of those few I never get tired of. It is an outstanding stripped back piano version, pure and perfect. No frills to distract you from the great and sad lyrics that Tom manages to sing so perfectly. Sometimes you just need a piano or a guitar and a magnificent voice and it's pure magic.

[@hristinapetrova5935]

I love how Tom's voice fits to the lyrics and the message of the song... A great tune!!!

[@luigialaurenti5854]

Tom Smith, fantastico ,pochi sono quelli che riescono a fare loro un pezzo del boss ,❤

[@antonioguillamon5472]

Eres uno de los mejores cantantes pop que jamás haya visto. Te dejas el corazón en cada nota, en cada suspiro... Bravo Tom.

[@erwinboogaerts]

Superb! Wonderful cover of e great song. Tom demonstrates what an outstanding songwriter Bruce is.

[@theSURGE1984]

Absolutely breathtaking stuff from the beautiful dulcet tones of Mr Tom Smith. LEGEND! Editors are my favourite band and DITD is one of my all time fav tunes, this beats the original hands down. Makes me want learn the piano and knock this version off as my own!

[@baartbaart]

amazing, I love it, I do love the song for years, it's telling my story but in this version is even more mine, truly deep inside

[@mm6461]

Can we get this version on SPOTIFY????????????

[@nikunashi3494]

This is amazing, I love it. This song has the most beautifully sad lyrics, I love Springsteen's original version but always wondered what a more sombre slow version would have been like, and this is it, perfection.

[@GrotesqueDestiny]

Wow great version, this is jaw dropping!

[@xXGoocaXx]

Truly beautiful, thank you tom for this amazing cover.

[@ryanheadon-daly7910]

[@markbaker23]

Fantastic

[@GaPartyBand]

A very enjoyable listen!!

[@kippen64]

I wonder what Bruce Springsteen would think of this cover?

[@meulenyzermarie1774]

love it!!

[@WorstCalamity]

Sooo much better than the original, this makes me feel so many things!! Man, Editors are a band I would very much like to like to listen to, but I only ever really like their covers, namely this and Road to Nowhere

[@melancholicmind4731]

Liebe♡

[@kovalphoto]

wow

[@horizontemaravilloso-spani4470]

love it :)

[@tanmahnic2614]

Tha man is extra

[@ahollowman8254]

No me aburre escucharla.

[@raymondbos3834]

I actually think this is better then the original. The lyrics are sad and for me supposed to be performed like this. But that's just my opinion ;-)

[@nikunashi3494]

+Raymond Bos I agree. Perhaps when The boss wrote it he wrote it as a sad song, then vamped to up to be a bigger hit.

[@Jfaram064]

+Raymond Bos i agree the original melody is too upbeat for the lyrics, mumford and sons do a good version too but this is my favorite. I love the editors though so im biased.

[@PeepsILoveEllie]

nothing better than upbeat sounding songs that actually have sad/deep lyrics.. just my opinion tho :)

[@jaudielacosta8337]

totally agree with u mate, cheers m8

[@tamunasabelashvili8123]

I adore bruce and Tom both, but totally agree

[@mechidau1930]

La mejor voz

top, wat een rust!!!

[@jettekanters-drenthen1435]

Was fucking amazing at Rock Werchter!! 3

[@patrickreilly690]

Anyone know the piano key/notes to this?

[@Chrisamusic1]

Verse, G (third inversion ie start on D) , Em, take it from there. Simple progressions, wonderful song.

[@MindPlanetLimited]

It took on a different significance

[@alviseravenna]

Better than the original

[@anselmosilva1293]

show

[@theguitarmy]

love it and really need to know the notes he plays! anyone who can help?

[@tonymcfeisty2478]

theguitarmy not 100% sure but the best I can come up with it's in the key of G and for the opening chords is that i Think it's GMajor (no5th) played G2 G3 D4 & Eminor11(no5th) Played E2 G3 A3 D4, and the other chords are Aminor CMajor and DMajor, no doubt someone else with more talent than me will be along to say I'm not quite and/or improve on this .

[@chrisnijland3784]

briljant

Great cover!! But the cover from At Freddy's House is better!! Sorry Tom

[@venommTrassh]

*-* 😻😰 😳😳

Valery Bautista i

[@xritaly]

Mmmmm... for me it's a big "no".

[@TheHolly182]

Blame's version is WAY better. Far more sincere. Incidentally, back in the day Tom Smith's band Editors, Snowfield, The Pride used to support the guys in Blame!

[@SS-ie9vo]

This is great, but does he have to make that face?!?

[@dnolan2000]

He made it sound sad and pathetic.

[@frankgallagher2589]

Duh!

[@balestre4141]

The lyrics are sad actually.

[@wscottwalters74]

You know, like the lyrics suggest it should be.

[@sarascarpati887]

It is, even if the music is happy

[@supersai4198]

mediocre

[@paulstevenson9016]

ridiculous

[@paulstevenson9016]

This song is me

[@davidamos6759]

Anyone know chords?
