@sailasimone: y sigue dando que hablar, el año pasado casi pude ir a verlo a españa, no se pudo, pero no pierdo las esperanzas, con el mismo ánimo e impetu de cualquier joven, BRAVO POR BRUCE
ok who don't like this ...... will have a business with me ... Bruce is someone who had a vision to make the best rock and roll music without end . He worked on that dream and he's still working . Music is not fashion , so if someone listen Lady Gaga , Rihanna ,Biber he's blind for this great music . Open your eyes and see what is a pure gold....
@JORGEPSOUSA911 I know, it's like there's something wrong with their ears. (HOT VOICE) (HOT MAN) ;-) They should be arrested for lack of taste in great music in my opinion, or have an operation to get their ears fixed.
... or am I the only one to prefer this 'no frills', essential version to all the various live versions to be found on youtube, old or recent as they may be?
I mean, the song is somehow 'essential', straight to the core, the lyrics being simple, direct and hungry. And the aforementioned live versions all tend to spoil this simplicity by huge intros full of effects etc. or by speeding it up and sacrificing its 'chug-along' rhythm which works so well.
bruce isn't honestly that great of a musicain. however, he did have quite a few songs that i like. He was overrated i believe, but to each his own. Lennon quoted about bruce "god help bruce springsteen when they decide he is no longer a god"
@rocker4u123 how much of his stuff have you listened to out of curiousity? do you not rate him as a songwriter/lyricist either or a live performer? interesting that lennon made that comment in 1980 well before bruce became a worldwide phenomenon in 1984/5. i actually think he is one of the few who has handled fame and fortune well. and he does it with charm. yes i am a fan and i hve met him so am subjective on it all, i hold my hand up!!
I was at Bed Bath & Beyond when I heard this song. It's probably been at least 20+ years since I first heard this song. Glad to "reunite" with it and will probably buy this on iTunes. :)
Its clear from the pictures that Bruce has favored a distinctive yellow and black electric guitar...has he ever spoken about this particular guitar and why over the years he has continued to use it specifically?
CARIÑO COVER ME , COVER ME , ME ENCANTA ESTA CANCION LA TENGO GRABADA EN UNA CINTA CUANDO BRUCE EN LOS OCHENTA HIZO UN CONCIERTO EN BARCELONA Y LO PASARON TODO EL CONCIERTO POR LA RADIO SOY FAN DE EL DESDE HACE MAS DE 20 AÑOS LE ADORO , CILA
@lovelysoul90 Sometimes verses simply do not make sense but if you add music to it just works perfectly ... any way, i like the lyrics ;) ... I can understand it ;)
Un nuevo hallazgo. Esta rola la grabé en mi casete 27 y la neta no sabía que era el mismísimo "jefe" Springsteen quien la cantaba, si bien no es una chulada de canción, es un rockcito muy alivianado y escuchable. Saludos.
@matt72582 Check out 'Adam Raised a Cain' if you like this, it's on the Darkness on the Edge of Town CD. Or better still check out 'Murder Incorporated'....Bruce's guitar is great and the vocals are powerful - much like Cover Me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this made the top 10?? what an embarrassment! it must've been ridin high on his popularity. that's why most of the lousy songs on this cd hit the top 10. the only really good one was dancing in the dark. the rest of it's hootin and hollerin.
Mr. Springsteen won an Academy Award for his contribution to the soundtrack of the 1993 film "Philadelphia," he rarely lends his music to television. "Cold Case" is an exception. The series, now in its third season, had used two Springsteen songs in earlier seasons: "Walk Like a Man" in its first and "Secret Garden" in its second.
This great song reached #7 in 1984. I'm 43 but discovered "Cover Me" for the first time just this week. I had dropped out of all media during the mid to late 1980s, but heard this song last night while watching a movie since it is part of the soundtrack of the gay movie, "The Trip" from 2002.
Hey brother, I'm not quite as old as you, I'm 32, but I'm still a child of the '80's and I'm stunned that you isolated yourself from the greatness of the '80's. So musch great music and all around pop culture, one of the best decades ever in American pop culture. Curious, why did you shut yourself out? Was it a protest to the Reagan policies of the times or a drug related thing?
It was a huge religious kick, starting when I was a teenager in the Army -- I used to have 2000 45's from the 70s & early '80s, but then got involved in a strict Pentecostal cult for many years, no TV & no music except for gospel. Went to Bible college, & ended up getting married as a gay man, and had 2 kids! Went thru Mennonite, JW, and Adventist churches, but then wife died young, 5 mos preg.
So now I have had a BF for the last couple years who has been helping me discover the late '80s & 90s music & movies, & it's been real fun, like opening an amazing time capsule. (I am not very impressed by much '90s stuff yet, can you help??) I do like Whitney H & certain others from the '80s you can see in my faves, but I still think 1977 was the best year, ever, hands down...
This song doesn't sound sad; but it's terribly sad to me. It's amazing, one of my all time favourites, I haven't a choice but to hold it in such high regard, but man I want to go into tears hearing it. In 2004 it became a hysterically sad song. But beautiful =) Bruce is amazing.
does he look like bob dylan or is it just me ? this song is beautiful - i love the emotional 80's guitars solos reminiscent of gary moore timed with highly charged lyrics (it sounds so vibrant in these times of bland nihilisim - or am i just a child of the 80's?)ps: a bottle of wine or two doesn't help..... 'Boss' You Rock
What did you think about "Radio Nowhere"? Did you like it? I think he should take all the ones I uploaded and put them all on 1 album, along with 10th Ave. Freezeout, Born to Run, and a few other good ones.
One of the best songs of all time in my opinion. It was the song that made me decide to buy all his albums. I had listened to his greatest hits & loved it. I then said to myself if I heard any more of his music and liked it i'd buy his whole catalogue as I was thinking that maybe all his good songs were on the greatest hits and the rest might just be fillers.
Then one day I heard this on the radio and loved it. Went out and bought all his albums. Loved them all.
I dedicate this song to Jeff Miles after 38 years & many miles. :)
