Just obsessed with this cover. So damn beautiful. And I love that they are the exact same lyrics, but because of how they are presented, they give the song an entirely different meaning....
A fan after one show.... November 2017 Ruth Moody and her band performed at the Stoughton Opera House. Stoughton Wisconsin. I knew that she was a member of the Wailin Jennys. I picked up a ticket. went to the show just to hear some music. Basically I was just curious. Well I walked out of there a big fan. Such a sweet lady wonderfully talented. it comes through in her performance. This little lady walked out on stage and a sound came out of her that just melted my heart. Her backing musicians are very talented. It was a good show. I was lucky to meet with Moody after the show. she was very nice and personable. Bought three CDs one Wailin Jennys and two of hers. she autographed all three. Ruth if you read this please put out a new solo CD soon ...suffering withdrawl.
Hello, I just turned 68 and Dancing In The Dark is one of my four all time favourite songs. Amy Macdonald from Glasgow also covers Dancing In The Dark. The other three songs in that four song list are Sultans Of Swing by Dire Straits, Don't Tell Me That It's Over by Amy Macdonald and Rebel Yell by Billy Idol. All the best and many thanks, Peter Nolan. Ph.D.(physics). Dublin. Ireland.
The moment she sings the second syllable of "evening" in the first line, I fall in love with her - every. single. time. A beautiful woman with one of the most extraordinary voices I've ever heard, and what an incredible band. /smitten :^)
Very nicely done! The Ruth Moody Band gives this Bruce Springsteen song a lot of heart. Very percussive along with the marvelous vocals of Ruth Moody. She breathes new life in to this song.
Nothing against Springsteen's version of this song. But I have to say Ruth and these fantastic musicians made me fall in love with this song all over again.......... ; )
Ruth seems to be one of those artists you listen to from time to time,and captures you fresh all over again! just love listening to Ruth n her band,all are brilliant n talented musicians! Check out her Bruce Springsteen cover of "dancing in the dark" simply amazing, vocals are spot on. Eddie r
Ruth Moody. Ruth Moody. Ruth Moody. Only discovered your rich vein of talent a few days ago. You are around the top of my list. I note that you have been to Australia. Please return when you can.
I get up in the evening and I ain't got nothing to say I come home in the morning 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 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 keeps getting clearer radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place I check my look in the mirror I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Man I ain't getting nowhere I'm just living in a dump like this There's something happening somewhere baby I just know that there is 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 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 this laugh's on me Stay on the streets of this town and they'll be carving you up alright They say you gotta 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 now baby gimme just one look You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark You can't start a fire worrying 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 Hey baby

She turns a song that was basically a "come on why not" plea into a soft yet oh so upbeat love song. Reminds me of what Glenn Campbell did for "Gentle on my mind."...most never hear Belton Jarvis do that one and it's very hard to find.
SO GREAT. I am sure the original line was - 'this gun's for hire, even if we are just shooting in the dark.' This from a song writer that could hit moving targets (clay pigeons) with my eyes closed.
This may be my favorite version of this song. Really brings out the existential nature of the lyrics. Bruce is way deeper than many realize me thinks...
Bruce would be proud....! Thank You Ruth and Band!!!
Best version of this song ever. Well done.
Just obsessed with this cover. So damn beautiful. And I love that they are the exact same lyrics, but because of how they are presented, they give the song an entirely different meaning....
obsessed too. I totally agree, the song shines differently, just beautifully...
she and her band are a crystal goblet in a pile of plastic cups...what Joy!
Spot on!
LOVE THIS!! Touche...
@@johnlane2069 no
Waterford at that, Alana pattern.
What an analogy! She's a hidden treasure!
From beginning to end this is a fantastic cover.

Thank you dear Ruth for the song. The song is so beautiful.
That band is crazy good.! And the singing. Clear as a bell.! Fantastic. Love It.!

A beautiful woman with one of the most extraordinary voices I've ever heard, and what an incredible band.

I find her to be the most attractive woman I do not know
Right!!? This woman is so amazing
Yes. She is one of my favorite humans, but I also do not know her.
if you're gonna be smit, it might as well be on some of the best material.
Very nicely done! The Ruth Moody Band gives this Bruce Springsteen song a lot of heart. Very percussive along with the marvelous vocals of Ruth Moody. She breathes new life in to this song.
It helps if you sound like you mean what you're saying, however pretty the notes are.
Love this group. Best cover of Springsteen EVER.
Ruth is amazing--she can sing anything and sound fantastic.
yep she's really good
This is the most wanting and haunting version that shakes the soul. Thank you Ruth moody band.
what a terrific voice
Love love love!!!!
Nothing against Springsteen's version of this song. But I have to say Ruth and these fantastic musicians made me fall in love with this song all over again.......... ; )
Oh I love this version!
When can we expect the third album? Maybe even a UK tour..I’d even consider travelling to the US to see her.❤❤❤
Brilliant. Phenom arrangement. Perfection in singing. Joni was not the end of what we have to offer the world.
Saw her singing this live tonight in Paris. She's amazing :-)
Well done! A really great take on a modern classic. Would love to visit with Ruth Moody to talk about her Springsteen fandom!
quartet makes it sound like a big great orchestra ... respect !!
Thank you Rich Terfry and CBC Radio 2 for introducing me to this wonderful woman and band. So much talent, the arrangement is spectacular. I love it.
That's were I first heard it too
What a singer she is.... Fantastic performance
She's so beautiful and elegant, everything a woman should be
Lovely! A beautiful arrangement, performance, and recording!!

I get up in the evening
and I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
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
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 keeps getting clearer
radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
baby I just know that there is
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
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 this laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
and they'll be carving you up alright
They say you gotta 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 now baby gimme just one look
You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying 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
Hey baby
Love it!
Fantastic singer/songwriter!
Better than the original. And the original ain't half bad!
Just Love the it !!!!!!
Superb. :-)
So good. You guys really bring something new to this great song.
heard this on CBCR2 this morning, and I really liked it! ^_^
Very nice
Outstanding...articulate with strings..
Muy buena version con una gran voz

Excellent. Saw this girl at RAH with. MK. Nice!

Heard and met her at a WJ house concert in Red Rock ON.
Very nice and thank you.
I heard it on public radio and fell in love with it, it sounded like springsteen.

I heard you on CBC Radio 2 and I have to say I love your version of Dancing in the Dark.

Loved it. Brilliant 👌🏽
Nice!
feel so alone but we're not & it is it's frontin that it has others
Awesome guys. Hugue vocal harmonies.
Best version of this song yet!
très belle reprise!
Good job!
She turns a song that was basically a "come on why not" plea into a soft yet oh so upbeat love song. Reminds me of what Glenn Campbell did for "Gentle on my mind."...most never hear Belton Jarvis do that one and it's very hard to find.
SO GREAT.

so fringing' cute and amazingly talented
This may be my favorite version of this song. Really brings out the existential nature of the lyrics. Bruce is way deeper than many realize me thinks...
Brilliant cover!
Better than the original. I'm a massive Bruce fan but this is better. Both Ruth's albums are fantastic, she is incredible.
love it!
Great!
Sweet...
