Bruce Springsteen - The Ghost of Tom Joad
One of his most reverberant songs, though, is also one of his quietest — at least in its original incarnation. “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” from Springsteen’s 1995 album of the same name, considers the economic forces that have prompted, or maybe forced, the poor and dispossessed to leave their homes and families with the hope, however faint, of finding opportunity elsewhere. The song takes its title from the protagonist in John Steinbeck’s Great Depression-era novel “The Grapes of Wrath,” published in 1939, but the themes Springsteen explores haven’t changed much in the intervening years.
He sings in a weary mumble about the desperation that accompanies hunger, homelessness, police brutality and oppression.
