Lyrics

TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT

Album version


Teardrops on the city
Bad Scooter searching for his groove
Seem like the whole world walking pretty
And you can't find the room to move
Well, everybody better move over, that's all
'Cause I'm running on the bad side
And I got my back to the wall

Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Well, I was stranded in the jungle
Trying to take in all the heat they was giving
Till the night is dark, but the sidewalk bright
And lined with the light of the living
From a tenement window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner, things got real quiet real fast
I walked into a Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out

And I'm all alone, I'm all alone
[Clarence Clemons:] And, kid, you better get the picture!
And I'm on my own, I'm on my own
And I can't go home

When that change was made uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hands
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half, oh

Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
I'm talking about a, tell me
Yeah, nothing but a, tell me
I'm talking about the, tell me
Ain't nothing but a Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth
I'm talking about the Tenth, Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Info

TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT is a song written by Bruce Springsteen and released on his 1975 album Born To Run. The above lyrics are for Bruce Springsteen's album version of TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT as released in 1975.


The album version of TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT was included on The Essential Bruce Springsteen (2015 edition) compilation album and the Japanese Singles Collection -Greatest Hits- compilation album.

Writing and Recording

TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT was most probably written in Winter or Spring 1975. According to Brucebase, it was the final song recorded for the Born To Run album.

The song features Bruce Springsteen on guitar and vocals, Garry Tallent on bass guitar, Max Weinberg on drums, Roy Bittan on piano, Clarence Clemons on tenor saxophone, plus a sessions horn section consisting of Randy Brecker on trumpet and flugelhorn, Michael Brecker on tenor saxophone, David Sanborn on baritone saxophone, and Wayne Andre trombone. The horns were co-arranged with Steven Van Zandt. The song was produced by Bruce Springsteen, Jon Landau, and Mike Appel, and recorded and mixed at The Record Plant in New York City, NY.

Steven Van Zandt's contribution to TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT is discussed in detail in the Wings For Wheels: The Making Of Born To Run documentary. When they were having a hard time arranging the song's horn section, Van Zandt basically walked in the studio just at that moment and said that he got the parts for the horns. As Jon Landau recalls, Van Zandt said, "Just listen to me, I'm gonna tell you what to do." Landau then said that night, "it was time to get Steve in the band." Steven Van Zandt would then join the band officially for the Born To Run Tour.

A previously not circulating early studio take of TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT appeared for the first time around late 2005 on Sirius XM's E Street Radio channel. It's a run-through take with different lyrics to what was later officially released. See the outtake version for more details.

According to Brucebase, a brief snippet (clocking at 0:34) of the tail section of what appears to be a different studio recording of TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT is in limited circulation among fans.

The lyrics "And you can't find the room to move", "I was stranded in the jungle", and "Till the night is dark, but the sidewalk bright and lined with the light of the living" are similar to lyrics from JAZZ MUSICIAN.

People and Locations

Many believe that Tenth Avenue is 10th Avenue that runs through E Street in Belmar, NJ. The band got their name from the street, which is where they used to rehearse. But Tenth Avenue may very well be the truck route that runs down the west side of Manhattan and through Hell's Kitchen, which was known as a depressed, gritty area at the time the song was written. Immediately below that is the West Village, which was also known for its mean streets, decades before gentrification. Springsteen used to play in small clubs in the West Village before he became famous. According to lifelong New Jersey Shore resident and Springsteen fan Stan Goldstein, Tenth Avenue is in New York City, and he was told so by longtime Springsteen associate and close friend Terry Magovern.

Bad Scooter in the opening line is a pseudonym for Bruce Springsteen himself, as indicated by the initials they share. The Big Man is Clarence Clemons who joined the band in 1972. TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT loosely tells the story of the formation of the E Street Band, but the meaning of the phrase "Tenth Avenue freeze-out" remains a mystery. Even Springsteen himself says, laughing, in the Wings For Wheels: The Making Of Born To Run documentary, "I have no idea what that means to this day, but it's important." In the documentary, with his electric guitar in hands, Springsteen briefly explains the song's meaning while being interviewed in studio:

"Teardrops on the city, Bad Scooter searching for his groove" (brief archive footage of Bruce Springsteen is shown at this moment). So that was me. It was teardrops on the city. "Seem like the whole world walking pretty, but you can't find the room to move". That's right. It goes, "everybody better move over, that's all". That's our plan. "'Cause I'm running on the bad side with my back to the wall". "Tenth Avenue freeze-out," I have no idea what that means to this day (chuckles), but it's important (chuckles). Alright.

"Stranded in the jungle trying to take in all the heat they was giving". Alright? So, "the night is dark, but the sidewalk's bright and lined with the light of the living". Uh, "from a tenement window a transistor blasts, turn around the corner, things got real quiet real fast, I walked into a Tenth Avenue freeze-out".

And then the important part. "Well, I'm all alone, I'm all alone, I'm on my own, I'm on my own, I'm on my own, and I can't go home", until the next verse. "'Cause a change was made uptown and the Big Man joined the band" (archive photos of Clarence Clemons are shown at this moment). That's the whole thing right there (chuckles). You know, I'm all alone, I'm on my own, I'm struggling through this world (chuckles), until the last verse.

"Change was made uptown, Big Man joined the band, from the coastline to the city all the little pretties raise their hands". Testifying time! You know, uh, "I wanna sit back right easy and laugh, when Scooter and the Big Man bust the city in half" (brief archive footage of Bruce and Clarence is shown at this moment) "with the Tenth Avenue freeze-out". That was our plan (chuckles).

Born To Run

The Born To Run recording sessions can be divided into two phases: the 1974 sessions and the 1975 sessions. The first phase consisted of scattered sessions conducted between May and October 1974 at 914 Sound Studios in Blauvelt, NY, while Springsteen and the band were still in the midst of The Wild, The Innocent, & The E Street Shuffle Tour. When the lengthy tour came to an end in March 1975, the recording sessions continued at The Record Plant in New York City, NY, in March 1975 and lasted till July. 914 Sound Studios was Mike Appel's studio of choice, but The Record Plant was advised by Springsteen's friend and future manager Jon Landau. All tracks on the Born To Run album, except the title track, were recorded during these Mar-Jul 1975 sessions.

Born To Run was commercially released on Columbia Records 01 Sep 1975. Note that a small quantity of blank label, advanced promo copies (known as the "Script Covers") were issued to VIPs on or around 12 Aug 1975, and normal promo copies were sent to radio stations on or around 24 Aug 1975. The album peaked at #3 on the U.S. Billboard 200. It also reached #36 on the UK Album Chart. The album re-entered the Billboard 200 in the eighties, reaching #66 in 1980 and #101 in 1985. The 30th anniversary reissue reached #18 in 2005.

TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT is known to have been performed at least 58 times during what is known as The Lawsuit Tour (62 know dates, August 1976 to March 1977). Some of that period's setlists are incomplete or unknown, and therefore, the song must have been played on some more dates during the Lawsuit Tour; it may have been a stable number during the tour. On this tour, the song was played in a traditional full-band arrangement. As far as it's known, all of these versions featured the Miami Horns quartet. The first eight performances (01 to 22 Aug 1976) featured Miami Horns line-up #1: Carlo Novi (saxophone), Ed Manion (saxophone), Tony Palligrosi (trumpet), and Rick Gazda (trumpet). This foursome came from Southside Johnny's Miami Horns outfit during a break in Southside's touring schedule (see the live 07 Aug 1976 version and the live 22 Aug 1976 version). The remaining 49 performances (September 1976 to March 1977) featured Miami Horns line-up #2: John Binkley (trumpet), Ed De Palma (saxophone), Dennis Orlock (trombone), and Steve Paraczky (trumpet and flugelhorn). Despite the similar name, this Philadelphia-based foursome (line-up #2) has no affiliation with Southside Johnny's Miami Horns (see the live 25 Mar 1977 version). Partial video footage for the live 07 Aug 1976 version of TENTH AVENUE FREEZE-OUT was included on The Promise: The Making Of Darkness On The Edge Of Town documentary in 2010.
