Tyler Jarvis releases his latest single, "Springsteen"
Close your eyes and picture your most exhilarating memory. Who’s with you? Where are you? What year is it?
No matter where you go in your mind, Tyler Jarvis’s latest single “Springsteen” will take you exactly there.
Tyler Jarvis released his latest single, “Springsteen,” on July 17, 2020. “Springsteen” is a modern anthem of a retro feeling, making it relatable, nostalgic, and transcendental of every era of adolescent recklessness— from the James Dean era, to the Bruce Springsteen era, to today’s era.
Tyler Jarvis touches on the quintessential feeling of naïveté and living life in the moment, which speaks volumes to everybody who had a childhood — (that means us). Speaking of volumes… this song is one to spill out of your car speakers, preferably with the windows down. Tyler Jarvis pulls influence from the 80’s rock sound— near and dear to all our hearts— with reverberating keys, chilling drums, and passionate guitar solos. He balances the classic 80’s influence with modern-pop traction that grasps our attention with today’s music. There are unique musical attributes about “Springsteen” that give it an even deeper expression of the story line through synth and rich echoes of vocals.
Lyrically, Tyler captures the essence of the supreme and pristine moments that make up naive recklessness and young love. Strong lyrics open the storyline and it’s immediately gripping: “Friday night my eyes are dreaming / moved me right across the room / every thought I could think / had eyes on you / too young to know better / a bit naive to play it safe / I was caught in the face of midnight’s game.” He puts you in the context and suddenly you’re shapeshifting into your own memory of what midnight’s game means for you. His lyrics grasp the fleeting moment that sometimes the most wide-eyed, innocent feelings sometimes make the most sense. He sings in the chorus: “Heaven’s on the far side of reason / chasing after love like it’s freedom / singing at the top of our lungs to Springsteen.” And, of course, he does Bruce Springsteen right by perfectly capturing remnants of his iconic persona through referencing his hits.
“Springsteen is a vessel, going back to the good 'ole days where going to bed by midnight was early, where cool, summer nights were what we lived for; where having a sense of naïveté wasn’t such a bad thing.”
