Bruce Springsteen - My Hometown

[MrBapt21]

I'm French, I discovered Bruce five years ago, I'm 15 and I really think that he's the best singer I ever heard ! Please Bruce, come to France one day please :)

Love your songs, so continue like that :)

We love you !

While the team, especially the senior players were consoling

each other, I was thinking of this beautiful song.

[samger02]

Works for me in a big way. When I was 10 troubled times came to my hometown. Belfast. 

[theblob34]

@samger02 sorry as hell to here that seen what ocupation can do in bosnia wasnt in briitish army was in ffl

[tamurasakura]

it doesn't even matter how old are you, or where you grew up. it is the the feeling, the colour, the smell of time that has passed you by.

it's something that is forever lost, it exist only in your memory. but its so beautiful and tuching and i shared a tear listening to Bruce's song.

[patmas68]

@tamurasakura Thank you for your beautiful words, that express also my feelings. I had a normal childhood, nothing of exceptional, but now that I live abroad, far from home, I'm realizing I look for places that can give me a taste of home, my old hometown. And it's true, as you say, "it's something that is forever lost, it exists only in your memory", but anyway it's beautiful having something to remember...

[theschof96]

im a teenager so my childhood is still happening, but this always reminds me of my says as a young child spending time with my father , I dont know if I appreciated it as much when i was 5, but i know i do now 10 years later. Ottawa, Ontario is my home town.

[misslantana52]

A song everyone can relate to......simply delightful! Thanks Bruce! (*_*)

[2NaughtyLittleFly2]

Manchester, Connecticut, 1960s. Ride my bike to Little Hale's Five and Dime with 25 cents to buy candy, played in the brook down the street all day, ice skating all winter, summer showers, raking and burning leaves in the fall with my Dad.

[domtycoll]

awesome reminds me of me and my dad when he used to put me on his lap and let me drive down the cottage road at 8 yrs old

[darietto33]

fantastic



[SGTSur5or]

Rock on Bruce

[Nurekok]

i hope u die vevo

[HelenWilsonMK]

Love this song it remind me of home.....that eight year old me was running to the Coop with pound in hand to get some sweets....I may of moved but its still my home town, I <3 Newport Pagnell, England. This is my home town and a large part of it stays with me.

[haroldbhoy67]

@HelenWilsonMK good call, I left Glasgow 20 years ago, I used to listen to this song when I returned. Still have great affection for the place, particularly the east end, where I grew up. Always glad to leave again though.

[pjps2]

GOD bless this great artist. BEST OF BESTS.

[TomoSpringsteen]

BRUCE I LOVE U!!

COME TO CROATIA!!

[PastExpiryDotCom]

Wonder if this song went through Gaddaffi's head today (Oct 20, 2011)

[MrK9nny]

@PastExpiryDotCom 41 shots went through his head that day

[TheMatshabenkosi]

Takes me back to the old days in Zimbabwe when we watched this music on ''Sounds on Saturday'' with Jihn Matinde. Those were the days when they made music that spoke to your soul...they do not make music like that anymore. Thank you for such wonderful music Boss...

[sshankla]

Just tumbled on the Boss' songs on youtube and they took me to my childhood when we use to buy the cassettes of his albums and listen to them on stereo. Back in 80's and early 90's we didnt have CDs; atleast i was not familiar with them. And The Boss was the first guy whose poster dawned my room. Miss those good ol glory days.

[flgal88]

can someone name the musicians in this video....i know Bruce, Clarence and Max but who are the others?

[fredriquemagic]

@flgal88 THE E STREET BAND: The pianist is Roy Bittan, the bassist it Gary Talent, the guitar player is Nis Lofgren, the drummer is Max Weinburg, the organist is Danny Federici and of course the saxophone player is Clarence Clemons. I don't know if Bruce's wife was in this video but her name is Patti Scialfa.

[greenflames1962]

R.I.P. clarence....no one can ever replace your talents and showman ship

[MrChiludo11]

13 mother fuckers has no hometown

[LeCutter]

Good lord. I remember my pop sitting me on his lap letting me "drive" the car as we were goin down the backroads in the fall. Stopping for burgers and shakes. For anythign else good or bad that ever happened in our lives, that was pure magic. That was good times. Thanks for that, pop. I miss you, old man.

[colonelerotic]

LIKE A BOSS!

[Legendarcy]

@colonelerotic or should you say, LIKE THE BOSS! hahahahahaha

[BigCatDaddy61]

Who cares where the guitars are made, as long as the sound is good! dibuccio do you know where your TV was made?

[dibuccio]

Composers VS Posers...

I have had it with Jon Bon Jovi, Toby Keith and Bruce Springsteen!!!

They all claim to be diehard American to the bone... They even right songs about our great country and confess their love for all things American... But yet, they all use Guitars made in other countries made buy non American hands... What the F*%# is up with that... I'm going to post this every day until this goes viral... Posers!!!

[CoolHeal20]

@dibuccio ur a idoit

[uremAsaysSO09]

@CoolHeal20 idiots an understatement he should be fucking beat

[CoolHeal20]

[pieigor]

I knew Wendy and Sloppy Sue. But I didn't know Big Balls Willie. I may have and didn't know it. Bruce. You should have seen One-Eyed Jerry at the bus station. You may have been like a lot of other people that just didn't want to see him.

[05vs1]

[don417]

Such a happy uplifting song.

[ww2guy01]

[Hunkola]

[Veektoereeah]

[MrBigrobmjca3]

Let's see, Bush and repubs spent like drunken sailors and Obama's just going down the same damn road to Hell. Washington is the b.s capitol of the world. They'll say ANYTHING to get a vote. All we can do is just trust in God.

[DaveWollenberg]

Studio version by the Boss hit #6 in Billboard, 1-25-86. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

[znarf541]

Your 'hometown's' jobs went to china....

[vachesarkissmessi10]

This is one of my favorites. It shows true spirit.

[dave4708]

The boss wrote this many years ago,but it speaks loudly to us now with our economy nearly as bad as the 1930's.

[homer422]

@dave4708 I think the song is derived from the downturn in the well being and underpinnings of blue collar America during the late 70's to 80's (the oil Embargo to Reagan's America).

[nativehero2007]

My mother goes to tears with this song,,,,,,, she said she this is the song that she heard on the radio.... on her way to identify the remains of my brother.... fuuuck

[EricCartman1st]

so its ok for english people to buy up ever bar and restaurant in Spain Portugal and Thialand etc,invaid countries for centuries steal thier oil and childrens futures , and your upset because you have have to work beside some Poilsh lad who prob had to leave his family and friends behind in the hope off providing a better future for his kids , typical english.

[dcemerson1]

better listen to the lyrics

[viloco27]

why the hell do i have to,listen to this piece of shit before i listen to the boss!!! this is fucking nullshit!!!!!!

[MrKizzle4shizzle]

Makes me want to call doc brown and go for a ride! HAHAHAHA 

[catbug666]

my wal-mart!... ha,ha,ha,ha.....

[casanski777]

Rest in Peace - Clarence :o(

[Noooxid]

This is how music should be. And how live music should be. No autotune, no playback, not a billion strobe lights giving you epilepsy. Plain, simple and magical. He's called the boss for a reason. Amazing

[patchy224]

the best song ever

[luieu2]

Love this song ,

The Boss tells it like it is in song !

[houndguy89]

Seeing Clarence standing there next to Bruce makes me sad, we will never see this again. This is also one of the finest performances by Springsteen and this lineup ever, such a song, such talent...now such a loss.

RIP Bigman..

The Houndguy

[mytoprecords]

RIP CLARENCE CLEMONS

[dolphinedick]

R I P Clarence Clemons, you will probably make good music up there, the Boss will miss a great musician, but God will put you in the greatest choir

[ohara2489]

R.I.P Clarence :( a wonderful musician xxx

[GazzaFJ27]

@ohara2489 Top Man!

[Jasonms1978]

@ohara2489 Clarence is from my Home town of Norfolk Virginia. I'm not sure what neighborhood or if I attended the same High School hw did,as I am about half his age. R.I.P. Clarence.

[siasti]

@ohara2489 Yeah. It must be real hard to hold a tambourine in one hand and bang it against the palm of the other hand.

[StreetCornerMemories]

this is pretty much my favorite tune from him and this live rendition is great! My thoughts and prayers are with Clarence Clemons! Get well soon!

[MrKevinjones41]

my home team liverpool

[Danielkr88]

one of the greatest songs ever been written,the boss it the boss.i think he is better than elvis presley.the boss and the e-street band forever

[YuraYuraHeartGrowPro]

@Danielkr88 You can't really compare the 2.

[ajdobmeister7]

my home town was huyton in liverpool england a great place in the 70.s/80.s till that bitch thatcher fucked up england ( now invaded by eastern european scum/scroungers/disease carriers.) uk is now shite.

[metaldigger]

@ajdobmeister7...Liverpool was the best team in the 70's and 80's...well they are still the greatest and the only team for me...Damn I dont know if you are a red or blue !!!

[pogmathon100]

@ajdobmeister7 The grandfather's of some of the people you call 'disease carriers' probably fought for us as Polish pilots in the Battle of Britain. The Poles are very pleasant, polite and hard-working people. You shouldnt be so disrespectful. I would also suggest that England is a better place in some ways now than in the 70's. I remember strikes, bombs in Ireland and declining prosperity - oh, and the Bay City Rollers!

[dannycaller]

@pogmathon100 As a factory worker in a factory swarming with Polish - I sincerely beg to differ. I also actually live in Liverpool. I'm not racist, but the sheer amounts of non English here is just ridiculous. And yes, Thatcher screwed us.

[cbballbreaker1900]

poliah ARE WHITE EUEOPEANS DONR FORGET THAT , ANIMALS COME IN BROWN BLACK AND YELLOW! AND ISLAM



[dannycaller]

@cbballbreaker1900 Yeah, that really backed up your argument.

[ajdobmeister7]

@pogmathon100  they are scrounging scum stealing. stinking bastards fuck them off out of our country with all imigrants.

[pogmathon100]

@ajdobmeister7 The problem with this is that the 'indigenous British' do not want these jobs or are unemployable. They do not want to work at school, sneer at any teachers who try to help them and then expect to be given well-paid jobs when they leave school. If you prevented farmers employing overseas labour to pick fruit then the crops would rot in the fields. The barbarians are not at the gate, they live inside the walls.

[Tralgit]

@pogmathon100 Amen to that, same all over the developed world. But it is changing, the welfare state is finished.!!

[pogmathon100]

@Tralgit Yes, and I dont enjoy saying it. I love England but we sometimes dont help ourselves and in many ways have ceased to be an enterprising people. We are far to ready to blame everyone but ourselves. Maggie Thatcher left office over 20 years ago and yet the old mantra of 'it was Thatcher who screwed us' (substitute any other name or thing) is still trotted out. I wish Liverpool well. It is a once proud city - but it has a bad reputation it alone can shrug off.

[Tralgit]

@pogmathon100 I know, Maggie Thatcher broke the trade unions, rightly so. We used to buy BL cars until we couldn't afford the repair bills any more, we ( my parents ) bought a Japanese car. We spend a lot of time in the UK, my former wive was from the UK. It was sad to see the mentality go down hill: " you cant brake a good strike " was the motto at that time. It will need another W.S. Churchill to put things right again, although he was fired as soon as the danger was over!!

[Hemiheaded18]

I heard this a few years ago right when the economy really went downhill and fast. I can remember sitting at the table during lunch and being brought to tears with the line "Foreman says these jobs are going, boys, and they ain't coming back" because I knew it to be 100% true both then and now.

[riegonsing]

If only hometowns were such an important part of people these days.

[mommyashleyanne]

Wow I Love the Boss.

[mufcrulesable]

love the boss shame he is racist against his own whote race sort your politics out boss obama is racist against us white people george bush did much better job

[genesisl100]

@mufcrulesable megusta fue parte de juventud lo mejor de mi

[RichterRotfield]

@mufcrulesable wow, ur messed up dude, bush was and is a very evil man who killed 3000 ppl on 9/11 and started a war over his murders and lies, how can u say he did a better job than obama. ur very ignorant and propaganda fed. Try watching Zeitgeist and educating yourself before u make sensational claims like that to anyone, especially online.

[Andrew1989A]

i love this song.. he looks like sean penn 1:35.. anyone

[bailey9224]

I love this song and the way that he sings it as well,

[all4musica]

One of his many Great songs...Thank you~

[lightrecall10]

i love the way he sings this!



[NachoBeez]

die vevo

[TOLATINA]

home is not where i live now..

[jerome2022]

I was 22 when this song came out and moved south 5 years later

[DoubleVisionandco]

This song is the truth especially for the South. Even so it didn`t take place until decades later the truth is the truth. Not only have we watched the textile mills shut down but a rubber company as well. I first heard this 2 years ago and it hit me like a shockwave because it hit so close to home and home is where the heart is. What do you do when the heart there no longer beats? That`s the question left for those of us that stayed in our home towns.

[nxud89]

when 1000 people like and 10 ppl dislike, those 10 must rly feel like idiots haha

[13ogle13]

cant believe i just heard this song, is there any others like it by bruce? thnak you

[JiS01]

This, and 'the River' and both one the best songs of the 80s! Wonderful!!

[batchensch1990]

@JiS01

Agree 100%

[icaroalfa]

BRUCE, forever !

[borboleta892]

Adoro essa musica !!!!

[bigbadbrams]

if ya really wanna know go ask him instead of posting what you think

[UPer24]

democrats and the unions are destroying this country

[SuperM1998]

0:47 my fav part:

i'd sit on his lap in that big old buick and steer as we drove through town

he'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around this is your hometown, this is your hometown

[TonyDevlin100]

26 yrs later and the jobs are still going and not coming back, man it is devastating to hear this man sing with such emotion about what is destroying the GREAT U.S.A. right now!!!

[joshuaTblanton43]

@TonyDevlin100 true but this was referring more to the energy act of 1977 because we had a "shortage of oil" so it made all ppl with "gas gusslers" pay a specific tax so ppl stopped buying american cars... thus the steel industry declined causing many mills to shutdown and so on... now we just get retarded ppl in our capitol and they make wrong decisions at crucial times

[smartallen7]

True, but Bruce gerw up and spent all of his teen years and the first music years in my home town, Asbury Park. and I know what he is talking about too.

World trade? asbury was burned down by 1970. Air conditioning and airplanes. People went to Fla my man.
