My Lucky Day (song) - History

History

"My Lucky Day" was made available in the U.S. on amazon.com on December 1, 2008, accompanied by a long music video that showed Springsteen and the band arranging and recording the song. It was also made available as downloadable content for the game Guitar Hero World Tour on January 27, 2009, along with "Born to Run" as part of the Bruce Springsteen Pack, which can be imported into any GH game since World Tour, making it one of only two Springsteen songs ever to appear in the series. It peaked at #18 on the American Triple-A charts in early June.

Despite being a single the song wasn't played a lot during the Working on a Dream Tour making just five appearances during Springsteen's U.S. shows and a total of nineteen performances total on the world tour.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    “I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “Look through the whole history of countries professing the Romish religion, and you will uniformly find the leaven of this besetting and accursed principle of action—that the end will sanction any means.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
