Happy Halloween from The Boss.
Bruce Springsteen is offering a musical treat to his fans this Halloween.
He posted, around midnight Thursday, a scary new song, "A Night With the Jersey Devil," as a free download on his website. He is also showing, there, a video he made for it.
He plays the legendary Jersey Devil himself, telling his tale as a gritty blues stomp.
"Sixteen witches cast 16 spells/Make me a guitar out of skin and human skull," he growls, at one point.
"So kiss me baby til it hurts," he commands at another. "God lost in heaven, men lost on Earth."
He emerges from a swamp or river at the start of the video, and sinks back into it at the end. Fires rage, dogs howl.

"Dear Friends and Fans,If you grew up in central or south Jersey,
you grew up with the "Jersey Devil."
Here's a little musical Halloween treat.
Have fun!" Bruce Springsteen
Hey Bruce,
I didn't grow up in Jersey but
I'm a little Belgian devil and I ain't scared of you
even with your dark eye...
You're the sexiest devil I've ever seen !
Hear me now!
I was born 13th child, 'neath the 13th moon
Spit out hungry and born anew
Daddy drag me to the river tie me in rocks
Throw me in where it's deep and wide
I go down, I don't die
Hole in the river bottom, I crawl through
Come back kill six brothers and sisters, kill papa too
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go
Into my bed with her kerosene my mama creep
Set my flesh to burning, whilst I sleep
I burn, burn, burn, till my soul burn black
Black rains fall, I come back, I come back
Get down Mama, get down low
They gonna know me wherever I go
16 witches, cast 16 spells
Make me guitar outta skin and human skull
Sing you a song like the wind in the sandy loam
Bring you baby out'cha your happy home
Ram's head, forked tail, clove hoof, love's my trail
I sup on your body, sip on your blood like wine
Out world theirs, this world mine
So kiss me baby till it hurts
God lost in heaven, we lost on earth
Sway down Mama, sway down low
They gonna know me wherever I go
Wherever I go, wherever I go
Well I got a brand new lover
I love her yes I do,
She's my one and only and her name is Baby Blue...
Thank you Boss for this great video and song !
