ABOUT THE RECORD Spare Parts, by Bruce Springsteen, is a power ballad by Bruce Springsteen from his 1987 Tunnel of Love album. It was released as a single in some countries, following Brilliant Disguise, the title track and Tougher Than the Rest, but was not released as a single in the United States. It reached the Top 40 in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden, reaching No. 16 in Sweden. Like much of the Tunnel of Love album, Spare Parts was recorded in Springsteen's home studio, called Thrill Hill East, between January and May 1987 with several members of the E Street Band. The song has one of the largest backing bands on the album. On this song, Springsteen played several instruments and is backed by Danny Federici on organ, Max Weinberg on percussion, Garry Tallent on bass and James Wood (a non-E Street Band member) on harmonica. Spare Parts is the most flat-out rock song on Tunnel of Love. Musically, the song features an engaging, blistering guitar part and propulsive drum sound. The themes of the song include alienation and terror in love, the consequences of evading commitment, and the impossibility of living without commitment. Overall, the song is harrowing, bleak, abrasive and tough-minded. The bitter, cold lyrics tell of an unwed mother who is abandoned by her boyfriend, who gives her nothing but empty promises. She tries to support the child on her own, and hears of another young mother who committed infanticide. Although she considers doing the same by drowning her son, she ultimately accepts her responsibility and decides against, baptizing the boy instead. Unlike the other videos of songs from Tunnel of Love, the video for Spare Parts was not directed by Meiert Avis. Rather, the video was directed by Carol Dodds. Spare Parts has been one of the most popular of the Tunnel of Love songs in live performances. From the Tunnel of Love Express Tour that supported the initial release of the album through July 2005, the song received 132 live performances in concert.
