By editorial board on November 1, 2022

Bruce Springsteen recounted his last moments with the late Clarence Clemons, who passed away in 2011, during a two-hour plus interview on Monday, Oct. 31, with Howard Stern on SiriusXM.

“I had a feeling he (Clarence) could hear me because he could squeeze your hand when I first went to him. There was some response to your voice and to you being in the room,” an emotional Springsteen said. “I took a hunch and I knew he was going to die so I had brought the guitar in and strummed the song called 'Land of Hope and Dreams.' Yeah, 'Land of Hope and Dreams.' It's a about passing to the other side. It's about life and death,”

Springsteen played a solo acoustic version of the song on the Stern show.

“It's a hymn,” Springsteen said. “It was the last song Clarence and I worked on a sax solo together on. It's probably one of my best songs of the last 20, 30 years, and so that was it. There was nothing else to say.” (Myjerseycentral)

“I bumped into the luckiest job in the world, because they gave me a fortune for something I would’ve done for free,” Springsteen said.

“I can’t imagine it. I mean, if I got to a point where I was incapacitated or something… But up until then, I mean, look at Johnny Cash, Pete Seeger. I played with Pete Seeger in Washington, at Obama’s inauguration,” he said. “Pete was 91 or 92, and he came out and sang ‘This Land Is Your Land.’ So I look at those guys … I don’t know if I’ll be doing three-hour shows [when I’m older]. But I have so many different kinds of music that I can play and do. The Broadway show, I can do the rest of my life, in one form or another, if I wanted to.”

He also opened up about the death of E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons, who died in 2011, revealing that he played him a song at the hospital. (Variety)

“I had a feeling he could hear me because he could squeeze your hand. When I first went to see him [after his stroke], there was some response to your voice and to you being in the room, it felt like,” Springsteen said. “I knew that he was going to die, and so I just brought the guitar in and I strummed a song called ‘Land of Hope and Dreams.’ … It’s about passing over to the other side. It’s about life and death.”
