  • The frustration with what has happened to our country as expressed in Long Walk Home is even greater today as our politicians show their lack of concern for the good of the country with this insane battle over the debt ceiling. America's star is growing dimmer.

  • 42 idiots.

  • got that right!

  • what a man! can make me laugh, cry, reflect on my life. "long walk home" is right up there with "thunder road" and "jungleland" that will have me weeping tears of joy as soon as i hear the first note. thank you Bruce for 30 years of happiness. When are you comin to liverpool? We've built a brand new arena just for you. well?

  • could.nt have put it better myself mate

  • That was beautiful and poetic and I like it.

  • Thanks Petite; "Beautiful and Poetic?" Kinda sums Bruce up perfectly would'nt you say? Have you seen Bruce lately? I've seen him about 15 times. The last time was May 2008 in Manchester. I'm due another gig, i've got withdrawal symptoms lol. Thanks again

  • Wow 15 concerts means a lot of great moments in your life...i envy you in a good way lol...I haven't have a chance to see Bruce yet, but I'm hopeful someday...

  • Where do you live? if youre an american youve more chance of goin to see Bruce than the rest of us.If you do get the chance youve GOTTA go, you havent lived until youve seen Bruce live. I'll keep my fingers crossed you get the chance.

  • what a fucking song..up there with his best..I think Magic is a fantastic album..love that guitar sound at 1'57,nothing quite like a Telecaster letting rip..

  • Bruuuce

  • a great song,a great artist,i also had coffee in the diner in freehold where bruce is seen in this video,my claim to fame ha ha

  • Bruce for President

  • But not working for the NWO

  • fuck off ya hillbilly

  • Americana

  • come il Boss non c'è nessuno! Boss Magnificooo!!!! Melania - Italia

  • If you don't get that this song is about how Bush corrupted the sacred values of this country, and if you don't see that the "town" he's referring to is the US, and if you don't get that the line about the flag (that it stands for what we'll do and what we we WON'T) is a direct reference to the Bush/Cheney torture agenda, then you're just too stupid to listen to music. He's stating that the US is still a great country but, sadly, it's been made unrecognizable by Bush and his policies.

  • Music can be about whatever you want, People shouldn't have little internet fights over and tell people they are 'too stupid' to listen to music.

    Your high horse,Get off it.

  • See--you just proved the point. You ARE too stupid to listen to music. Music is NOT about what YOU or anybody else wants it to be about--it's about what the ARTIST wants it to be about....remember the artist? The person that wrote it? Sorry, but you don't get to apply your own narrow viewpoint just because reality doesn't suit you. But heck--you probably think that "Born in the U.S.A." is a flag-waving pro-America anthem, right?

  • I never said the viewpoint doesn't suit me, I like the song, It's just pathetic to see guys like you, Starting internet fights over what the song means? And what makes you the local music expert?That gets to hand out judgments about everything?

  • I AM a music expert, and when I read comments like the ones below stating that this isn't a "political song," and "why can't people just keep their political statements to themselves," it makes me sick. This song IS a political song (as clearly stated by Springsteen on numerous occasions), and my original post makes that point. The manner in which I made my point was necessary because idiot conservatives don't understand subtlety. Nor, apparently, do they understand this song.

  • You guzzle the cool-aid I see! Your ignorance is boundless!

  • Comment removed

  • man your one dum ass pussy

  • Thanks for your insight there doggie, I was wondering what the meaning of the song was but I have to agree, get off ya high horse. I love the song and its direction, cut the crap and celebrate one good thing out of the US.

  • que grande es brucee cantando en Sevilla oleeee

  • vai bruce il più grande!

  • terrible  au festival des vieilles charrues ce 16 juillet 2009

  • Arruma a tradução dela!!!!

  • Gosto muito das suas canções!

  • Normalmente as letras quando traduzidas ficam sem graça. Mas as letras das canções de BRUCE são sempre fantásticas. Lindas...tem alma...tempero...calor...

    Esse músico, compositor é mesmo um MOSTRO SAGRADO DAS MÚSICAS!

    Gosto muito das letras e das canções.

    Por isso continuo perguntando:

    - Bruce vc já veio ao Brasil?

    - Bruce, vc já descobriu o Brasil?

  • I love this song it's my favourite song by Bruce Springteen

  • There is no way this is about Obama. Those remarks are just silly.

  • Hey obie... heads up you said it best, it's just silly

  • If you actually read the lyrics to this song you'll understand that he's not talking politics. He's talking about coming back home and seeing the changes that his town had made in his absence. He's also adding in a little subtle reminder (at the very beginning of the song) about a love now lost...supposedly. We don't actually know what that little slip of paper said, but we can assume she was breaking up with him, or leaving him. So please, try to keep your political opinions to yourself.

  • this song is obviously political in nature, the line:

    "That flag flying over the court house means certain things are set in stone/who we are/what we'll do and what we won't"

    spells it out pretty clearly. The long walk home of the title is referring how long it will take America to get back to its ideals.

  • I actually did think is was a piece of paper but instead it was a ring she gave back to him.

  • Obie and B8N4M6, it never fails to amaze me how folks will read these things into songs.

  • this a political song period and the lasdt yrs under bush and that piece of paper is the constitution

  • Neither side, Repub or Democrat has done well in the last few years. They are all cheaters, and crooks with little understanding of what Americans in the heart of thier country want. and expect from them. . We should vote them all out and replace them with something that resembles what America once stood for.

  • my name is maria, adorei todos os teus videos,mas quem realmente adoro is you.me apaixonei por vc qdo vi o video usa Africa we are the world. vc tem um jeito muito especial que ja mais vi em homem algum, apaixonei mesmo por vc sou brasileira de Brasilia DF.KISSES

  • This is a beautiful song; what is the deeper meaning of the lyrics?

  • This song was about how the Bush administration drew the USA away from its traditional roots of fairness, judicial process, and human rights for all. It was a song that decried what the Bush administration had done to the reputation of America by making Americans look to the world as something less than we once had been-a nation admired, that the rest of the world wanted to emulate or even to immigrate to. It's why he supported Obama so strongly. Thanks, Bruce for all you've done for 35 years!

  • TomUltranova : Thank you for explaining this! I read the lyrics and never would have guessed. I'm glad Obabama won. I hope he can undo some of the damage done by the previous eight year administration. It's going to be quite a job, and a "Long Walk Home."

  • The Bush administration made this country better, this whole "depression" that we're going to was going to happen, inevitably because of not backing up our money with gold, making our money just another piece of paper.

    Also, Obama has spent 1.2 TRILLION dollars to this point, if not more, i'm not too up to date...

    From Washington to W. Bush we've spent near HALF of that, and Obama, in his first 100 days, has spent 2x as much in 100 days then everyone else has in 219 years. Pitiful.

  • 18 yrs old that figures ,history is going to eat bush and his criminal administration a live and will go down in our short history the worst ever

  • this about the last 8 yrs of bush and his dumping on the constitution

  • Great Bruce ... you still are so great like the first time I saw you ... in Milano (1992) ... again with your magical Fender Telecaster !!

  • ! qué tío más grande !

  • Great song & Video!! The Boss does NO Wrong...Love Him!!!

  • This song is number 1 on my most played list.

  • I was humming this song when i had to walk 60 blocks to my house because my car died at 3am

  • Who we are what we'll do and what we won't.........................­......to me i guess it means we are Americans greatest country in the world,we'll use all our strength and power to defend our great nation . What we won't do is torture and wire tap, we'll help eachother

  • I like the use of the train in the begining....like the person is coming back on a train.

  • The Boss Bruce Springsteen still as epic as ever. No one can touch him. He is pure genuine

  • Una de sus mejores canciones. Magic para mi es su mejor disco. Insuperable.

  • it would be great if some of you fellow fans would check out my songs and give me some feedback. thanks

  • Sempre lui, Per Sempre The Boss...

  • *Everybody has a reason to begin again*

  • great song!

  • The boss is still the boss.

  • Just..."long walk home"!

  • OOH-LA-LA-LA

  • love how his songs seem to change shape and go with the times.. this song is so revelant to todays global recession most of all in small towns.. but yet his lyrics draw hope the last verse especially "everybody has a neighbour, everybody has a friend.. everybody has a reason to begin again" you are lucky in this town

  • WE LOVE BRUCE!!!!

  • One of the best songs to come along in a long time. Masterful sound from the living legend of Rock & Roll. Bravo!!

  • i have a question how the hell did people get into obama and the election from a bruce springsteen song??

  • Don't you mean how did Obama and the election get into a Springsteen song?

  • one hell of a song from springsteen,absolutely top class,

    mr.springsteen please come down under this time,don't forget us!!!

  • This song brings tears to my eyes EVERYTIME i hear it. I love it.

  • Best song ever!!

  • ooooooooooooooooooooooh now

  • Excellent song

  • What makes a human a real citizen of the world isn´t the place where he was born but what he keeps inside his heart in a search for peace and a better place for everybody: black, white, muslims, jews, christians, hindus. Why is it important?? In fact, "long walk home" means the strong desire to find the best inside of ourselves to make the right difference in the world.

  • that's true.... very good words...

  • Seeing him in April hopes he plays this song :)

  • please stop singing bruce lol

  • please keep singing bruce!

  • no melody? this song has plenty of melody and more! I think you should get your ears checked out buddy

  • Comment removed

  • @ Lackey84

    I feel so sorry for you. It must be so hard. ..living without a brain! Poor thing!

  • his first name is barack pay attention before you open your mouth

  • pay attention, so you realize obama isn't a muslim! you republicans will never quit will you! fuck you all. you obviously don't love this country as much as springsteen and obama do

  • um no. He was born in america. born in Honolulu Hawaii. as for revrend wright, he is irrelevant. and as for you, I would take a chill pill and just try to control your anger.

  • Oh, if only I had read this very articulate and persuasive message before I went to the polls, then you would have changed my mind.

  • No, you're wrong. Both you and Springsteen were born with your heads up your asses. It's just impossible to think straight that way. It might explain how the two of you supported a left winged anti-American slime pit like Osama Hussein in America's White House.

  • How can you assert that I am wrong about what I would have done had I read your idiotic comment before the election? You have shit around your asshole! Go clean it.

  • my head wasn't in my ass, it was pointed at the american flag the entire time. I can't vote, but I knew going the mccain route was the wrong route. When he can't tell the difference between a suni and a shiite, than something is wrong. As for calling Obama an anti american slime pit, maybe you should calm down and just think about this. are you saying that because he's black? are you one of those idiots who thinks he's a muslim? and is that even a bad thing really?

  • Sure, and I won't fall for the same tired old conservative ways.

  • STUPID RACIST

  • the cooljazzman u fukin asshole go die u mup. Bruce is best of all time!!

  • amen!

  • HE IS THE BOSS! THE BEST OF THEM ALL!

  • you need to give it a rest , loser !!

  • i completely understand that point of view and i almost feel the same way but i do still like his music. a lot of the songs are pretty catchy. streets of philadephia is my personal favourite.

  • I'm a idiot fan of bruce!;D

  • Bruce is a truly rock star. Noone can deny it.

  • hes never do a drug-- if you would see him live you would understand

  • Watch your language. Who do you think you are calling people you don't even know idiots..?

  • I hear Bruce is going to Disneyland. Coming?

  • non il viens aux vielles charrues le 16 juillet en bretagne j'ai ma place

  • Tom Waits is the ugly,risky prototype. Bruce is pop by comparison...but bloody great pop...

  • aw brucie. . .I'll wait up for ya aaaand walk you home!

  • Just watched Bruce on the super bowl. That seals it. Tom Waits is the best thing that happened to american music in the last 35 years.

  • what the fuck? why do you bring up springsteen and tom waits in the same sentence? Way different music...

  • Remember Jersey Girl? That's a Tom Waits song. Paste magazine called Tom's tour last year the best show of the year. I caught it. I like his lyrics, and humor, and his courage. His theatrical side is great. And..Tom isn't going to Disneyland.

  • silly boy. Paul Weller is the best thing tht happened to world music in the last 35 years. Springsteen could challenge for that, but tom who?? go lick a stone.

  • huh???? who the hell is tom waits must not be that great! everybody knows the boss th best thing that happened to music in the last 35 years ha!!!!!!!!

  • Maybe it's true ,but YES is the best thing that happened to music in the last 40 years......( they began in 1969)

  • RISE UP ! RISE UP USA ! - After 911 2001

    Against Stupidity & Terrorism & Jihad Wackos

    RISE UP ! ISLAM KILLS... MILLIONS. =TRUE=

  • "Against stupidity..."

    Well you see there's where you contradicted yourself. Cant get much stupider than blind ignorance.

  • obama is a long way from a savior. Bruce tells it how it is.

  • im liking this song the more and more I listen to it.

  • That's why the album is called 'magic' :p

  • "Magic" is the 15th studio album by Bruce Springsteen, to be released in 2007

    That's a LOT of albums to release in 1 year!

    lol

  • lmao i concur

  • aaaaa......this song is great
