(Check out that entry for the backstory on Darlene&#8217;s years-in-the-making, Van Zandt-produced debut solo album.) Today, we&#8217;ll listen to the other one, &#8220;Just Another Lonely Mile.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"758\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V8hGfuOJF1I?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Lyrically, &#8220;Just Another Lonely Mile&#8221; is the polar opposite of &#8220;Night Closing In.&#8221; The latter is a post-break-up song of heartache; this one&#8217;s an anticipatory reunion song.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Just another lonely mile and I&#8217;ll be at your door<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Just another lonely mile and there&#8217;ll be no more loneliness anymore<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Just another lonely mile and I&#8217;ll be home<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Just another lonely mile, no more empty nights, darling, all alone<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Just another lonely mile<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Just another lonely mile, the sun will break through<\/em><br \/>\n<em>All these cloudy days and my hard luck ways, are forever ever ever through<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Just another lonely mile, a few more hours my friend<\/em><br \/>\n<em>I&#8217;ll taste your kiss, the things I&#8217;ve missed will all be in my arms again<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Just another lonely mile<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>My wandering sunny days have all turned dark as blood<\/em><br \/>\n<em>The fire in your eyes lights my way, I&#8217;ll soon be back in the sunshine of your love<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Just another lonely mile<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Lyrically, this isn&#8217;t Bruce&#8217;s strongest work. There aren&#8217;t that many unique lines and scarcely any metaphor or imagery&#8211;and what little there is treads some pretty cliched ground.<\/p>\n<p>But let&#8217;s not pay too close attention to the lyrics, because they&#8217;re really not the point here. With a lushly arranged, strings-and-horns-forward backing track that eats up that last lonely mile long before even the first verse is over, Bruce&#8217;s words are just a vehicle for Love&#8217;s incredible voice and Steve&#8217;s no-holds-barred production.<\/p>\n<p>Although we&#8217;ve never definitively learned whether Bruce created these songs out of whole cloth for Love (I have my doubts about &#8220;Night Closing In&#8221; in particular), at the very least it&#8217;s clear he chose material that would draw more attention to the singer than the song.<\/p>\n<p>To date, Bruce has yet to perform either of the songs he gifted to Darlene, but Love sure has. Here&#8217;s her debut live performance of &#8220;Just Another Lonely Mile&#8221; from her record release show in Asbury Park (with bandleaders Steve Van Zandt) in 2015.<\/p>\n<div
