  • This is one of his lovely songs

  • Falling in love with someone you can't be with is agony.

  • @OneFifthNative Trust me, I did this past semester of college. I thought we would be forever but she only wanted my brain and to use me. She broke my heart. Preach on Brother Bruce.

  • @bluesboy25000 Love is more powerful than any drug. Makes you loco, loco, loco, loco. I'm just waiting for the female robots to be invented. I thought they'd be here by now, along with the flying cars.

  • @bluesboy25000 I'm sorry to hear that, she's obviously a bitch. True and authentic devotion to love is very closely tied with the mysterious power of religious devotion, in my view. Both require - demand actually - pure continuous honest devotion to succeed in life. And each demands that personal ego-centered falseness continuously diminishes and that committed personal honesty and integrity towards the individual AND to the partner continues under the guidance of God's scolds, hints and nudges.

  • We are always Queen of the Supermarket. Even though macho man may push the trolley. I indulge him...

  • Comment removed

  • Reminds me of Roy Orbison..someone who strongly influenced the boss. Same operatic, larger than life quality. Same theme of longing, of encountering something that transforms the everyday world into....magic...for just a golden instant.

  • I love this song . I work at a supermaket , and have for all my life.

  • @tracianne77 That's the beauty of Springsteen, he sings about the forgotten man.

  • Worked there...met her...married her...kids...house...car...div­orced...everything...i said it before somewhere...Bruce is God...i only told Him this things...

  • I thought this song was silly first time i heard it but theres a married girl im falling in love with at work, and today i screamed with bruce 'and catch a smile that blows this whole fuckin' place apart' driving home.

  • Your post made me think of something someone once said, "In this life you will be able to chose who you love... but you will not be able to chose who loves you." Falling in love with someone who is married can be a very painful love... and cause many others even greater pain. I hope you will make wise choices.

  • My plan is to work there for a while, get really close (shes not the type to break up her marriage) then when i leave to work somewhere else in a year or two il write her a note saying something like 'your the most beautiful girl iv ever met'.

    And then never see her again.

  • hope your spelling improves by then. you do it yet?

  • Time is a healer my friend, and there feelings have passed. Alot of it was to do with Christmas, and starting a new job at Christmas next to a beautiful girl... What a wonderful time.

    Now I understand she is just a friend. Although we did walk home the other day.

  • Must say your point is a valid one Wrighthererightnow9

  • HHAHA @ creator of said video-

    you are canadian! I go to no frills all the time!

  • Don't understand critics of this song. I've been there with this song, nice feeling, and i'm sure rings true for so many out there. My own personal favorite from the album. In fact, I actually have a shine on a certain queen of my supermarket...

  • now this is passion....

  • "I turn back for a moment, and catch a smile that blows this whole fuckin' place apart" Come on, its simple and sweet, but SO powerful at the same time. Can you imagine feeling that? Pretty close to "you ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright, and thats alright with me".

  • This song is a masterpeace. Life in short in it. I don't get it why people don't understand this song. Maybe they are used to complicae things and miss true simple life. This song is about simple life, strong feelings of human love and sraigh to the heart. When you know the feeling you know how much meaning it has.

  • I've heard a lot of criticism of this song, people wondering how the man who once sang about warm summer nights, dusty pick up trucks, switchblade lovers and scared, lonely girls ended up here. What everyone seems to have missed is that this song is still tackling a classic Boss theme. For the past 35 years Springsteen has taught us to look for love, beauty and adventure in the ordinary and unremarkable areas of life. The emotions and ideas of the song transcend the location.

  • I LOVE your point of view and agree with you 100%..

  • Thank you very much!

  • I hope to become a journalist, so it means a lot to me that you enjoyed what I wrote!

  • And I worked in a supermarket for 9 years and exactly get the vibe of the video. Keep up the good work.

  • @wrightherewrightnow9 I think this is the perfect scenario for Springsteen. His songs were always tinged with a hint of cynicism that your dreams may not be fulfilled. These songs capture those people from Born to Run and Prove it All Night and Thunder Road all grown up and realizing their dreams are gone and they must resign to this mundane existence. Very existential. Nietzsche would approve.

  • Don't get me wrong - I love Bruce and this is a catchy tune, but Bruce... you've gone from trains and motorcycles down Highway 9 and girls named Mary to... supermarkets??  Who are you and what have you done with Bruce? Please say it ain't so, Bruce.

  • I get your point, but in the meantime, wouldn't it be really weird if Bruce was still writing about Highway 9 and girls named Mary, after 35 years? Becaue that's now who he is anymore! I have to say that I really respect Bruce for allowing his music to change, and not go around pretending to be 25 for the rest of his life.

  • This sounds a lot better on the vinyl pressing. Lighter, more airey. How Im sure bruce would have wanted it to be heard

  • The Boss at his best

  • i love this song, one of my all time favs now actually

  • I don't think people get the greatness of this song.

  • They surely don't.

    I can't hide my smile listening to it.

    Such a beautiful lyrics and mood.

    And I have to say that it holds a potential for a beautiful video...

    "Each night I take my groceries and I drift away... "

    Ah... :)

  • i cant work out whether people are joking when they read into this song? the man is picking up a few groceries and is checking out a checkout girl...and writes a song about it...the checkout beeping at the end gets me every time. Went to see him last night in Dublin though and it was incredible

  • Lol is that what its supposed to be :) I never really thought about ti being a checkout beep...

    Nice one :)

  • I see Canadian $20's in there. So here's to Canada and hoping THE BOSS can find his way back here real soon.

  • Why don't more people get this song? You guys are his fans, you should see that this isn't weirder than "you ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright" from Thunder Road! It's about seeing beauty where no one else necessarily does!

  • I made it 5 stars!

  • howcome this song only got 4 and a half stars?

  • There are people who dont know what music is...

  • This will be a good song for the movie: "10 items or less" where appear M. Freeman and paz vega

  • Love this song. Noch 10 Tage bis zum Konzert bei der Eintracht,

  • Comment removed

  • Fuck, I guess I'm not down with the upper middle class snobs because the grocery store I shop at there are alot of people on food stamps. Hard to find love in aisle number two when your down and out. I guess Bruce can't relate to the guys waiting for their babes to meet them in the Darkness on the Edge of Town anymore.

  • There are about a dozen ways to interpret the song, including the possibility that anyone could be secretly admired by someone.

    If you open your mind and show the smallist hint of creativity perhaps you'll be able to think of something other than your incomprehensible gobblygook.

  • its just a song it doesnt have to be an epiphany

  • oh man you just don't get the point.

    you don't have to be middle class to shop in a supermarket FFS.

    almost all of the people that shop or work are working class. this is still the darkess on the edge of town if you listen, its still about the struggle and hope for a better life, the characters only got older along with bruce and the rest of us

  • amazing my favorite part of the song.... finally someone gets it.

  • what a joke!

  • I like this one best of the entire Working on a Dream album!!

  • BRUTAL esta música... BRUTAL.

  • jesus, this place looks much better than the doss hole of a place i go to

  • The only problem is the crappy greek food that is so bad! Now the Turkish stuff beats everything hands down!

  • And I am to in love with the Queen of starbucks

  • Comment removed

  • go bruce!! you are the best songer ever! your are a musican god! fockinhg yah!

  • flameexile i agree with jonnygb4 i don;t recall him using the f word in these songs just this song and devils and dust and what cds are the songs you mention on!

  • kingslice Bruce has done everything he is just having some fun with this song ya gotta love it i do i think its diff for the Boss but hey its fun!

  • Ok I love this song but who sings it and what have you done with Bruce Springsteen? He's gone from trains and the Chicken Man in Atlantic City and the Rangers meeting in Harlem... to a grocery store? Don't get me wrong I loooove Bruce I mean it just seems so un-Brucelike.

  • How the hell can anybody criticise this song?

    It's classic Bruce.

    If you don't think so, then you simply don't get it.

  • He should have hired you

  • I can't believe people are knocking this song.

    Its classic Bruce doing what he does best telling stories of every day life.

    The lines " As i lift my groceries into my car i turn back for a moment and catch her smile that blows this whole fucking place apart" well those lines blow me fucking apart, If you have never felt a reaction to a smile like that you have never lived my friends.

  • its about a wife of a guy. Queen of the supermarket... a girl who is sad and stuff like that

  • Sorry, but that was a "stupid" comment.

    DEVVVVVVV'D

  • It's not about the supermarket.

    It's about being in love. And it's a great song.

  • To the ones whom put the blame on Bruce about this song. When U have a few money, bringing food home is such a hard job to get done. Bruce realized it and that's why he tributed a song to these silent and anonymous heroines. Good job Bruce.

  • It's kind of refreshing that a song is dedicated to a girl that works her butt off in a grocery store. With all the pretentious "CAREER WOMEN" out there who think they shit vanilla ice cream screw them. Give me that cutie in aisle five who would appreciate a slice and a coke after her shift.

  • he only says fuck in 2 songs btw

  • Queen of the Supermarket, Long time comin', My best was never good enough That's three want me to find more XD

  • sorry i was off by one! damn are you gonna lynch me for it? up tite shiyt

  • God it was a freaking joke you should losen up a bit yourself :P

  • sorry i had GCSE french exam.

    sorry i was rude

    my bad :(

  • jonnygb4 you are right Bruce does not swear in his songs just 2 he has class but i think in this song it fits!

  • thanks thebrucefan99

  • didn't bruce meet the woman he had the extramarital affair with at the super market?

  • He didnt have an affair.

  • Yes ge did, that is what Brilliant adaisguise is about, he was having an affair on his wife/girlfriend while she was having an affair on him at the same time.

  • You can interpret Brilliant Disguise that way, or any way, if that's what you chose to hear.

    I think the meaning much more profound. How much, and which parts, of our whole selves do we reveal to our partners?

    Certainly we do it selectively, especially early in a relationship. But as time passes it's harder and harder to be a better person than we are.

    As the mask starts to crumple that's when the question, "is that me, baby, or just a brilliant disuise?" hits.

    No third party necessary.

  • Geez, some guy makes an allegation in a divorce suit, confiding in friends that, "he [Springsteen] will pay be a fortune just to go away]," - no evidence, none.

    But it's in the tabloids [who have no proof and know it's false], and they'll print anything for people like you, who subsequently have no problem passing a phoney allegation along as a fact.

    What, you don't like his politics? Or are you just mean-spirited?

    You're a class act all the way. I hope your parents are proud.

  • didnt like at first but i like it its good bruce

  • Nice concept video! Thanks for posting...

    There's a queen at the local Publix; would give anything to cruise up in the front in that black vette & watch her run out and jump in! 5*****

  • broooooooooooce

  • this video is actually sick, especially the doughnuts in the vette

  • Can't get this song out of my head....I love it and Outlaw Pete.....Go BRUUUUUCE!

  • indeed this an pete lol on my mobile all the time fkin "A" lol

  • the first time i heard this song i thought he blew up the supermarket at the end :)

  • oh to have him walk through Sainsburys (UK) at six at night, When I l clock on for an eight hour shift this song is running through my head, Way to Go Bruce! just come to mine.....400 customers is ha d work!!!! in an 8 hour shift...thanks Bruce

  • I have seen BRUCE for over 30 yrs( 1st time@ "The Summit" in Houston Tx 1978. Great Song! enjoyed video except Corvette smokin'. Only my opinion see you in PHX April 3

  • this verges on cheesy but tips to cute

  • verges? this song PLUNGES into cheese-land.

    no one loves the boss more than me but this is hands down his worst song. ever.

  • he sings about everyday life ;just a great song

  • before you start getting bitchy.....can i just tell you that this whole album is very reminisent of the "Nebraska" album the slow meaning full style. just think would you be so Shitty about the song if it was of the river?, Nebraska ro perhaps born to run....no you would accept it as Bruce which is what it is.....to be honest it must be hard for him to keep writing songs so meaning full after all he has over 400 songs! let it go and listern afterall he did it for us....

  • Would have been cool if they had him walk through the store while he sang.

  • The song is sung with so much passion and blows me way.The end is awsome although some think this song is about a girl in a supermarket. It's about much more.

  • no fear of me falling for someone at my local,no thanks.x

  • Great song, Bruce rules!!

  • THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!

  • best album since tunnel of love! great song through and through

  • I think everyone at some point in time in their lives have noticed an absolutely stunning beauty in the supermarket and wondered to themselves what it would be like to discover the secrets beneath her white apron. There's one at my local store that just blows the whole fuckin place apart!

  • I am from the UK, work in a supermarket, been a fan of Bruce for 25yrs. He sings about life, try working in one, for for nine hours. I do.

    Way to go Bruce, tell like it is, as always. Best Rock Musician EVER, Long may he perform, seen Bruce live 7 times, wont get to see him in UK in June, tickets all gone, unless you want corporate, nuff said...

  • this man is THE BOSS and he name is bruce springsteen.and we love him and loayl to him no matter what happens we are fans.

  • The song is a masterpiece, if you don't get you are too stupid to get!! Amazing

  • alright guys c'mon now....he's talking about a supermarket!! hahahhaa if you look at the lyrics closely he's kinda poking fun at the whole thing, but i think it's a pretty funny song to listen to, and bruce's other songs, like This Life!

  • It's about him a man being in love with a woman at a supermarket and she has no idea who he is and he is just another face in the crowd to her.

  • Bruce is just amazing...end of discussion.!

  • The part between 2:06 and 2:40 sounds like something Roy Orbison used to do. They were big friends.

  • this man is going down as the Greatest American Singer-songwriter live performer of all time...

  • awesome song

  • You think Bruce is corny? There's a reason why he's called the Boss

  • fuck u man ur a corny prick with no life..bruce is the boss who sings lovely songs for everyone.fuk u.

  • Comment removed

  • I think this song is another Bruce Masterpiece...all double meanings...don't take it literally.....it is amazzzing!!!

  • Blasphemy! This song is awesome :). The video is good too.

  • Just curious, is this the first "fuck" Bruce has ever used?

  • nope ghost of tom joad album....my best was never good enough,devils and dust album ,long time coming

  • Lost in the flood.

  • It's great to remember the classics. Rosalita and the like, but the man has grown and never stopped. Let's raise a toast to new classics....at least for true fans. Count ourselves among the millions.

  • Well said my friend...well said!

  • His classics 'Thunderroad' and 'Jungleland' will always have my soul but this, well, it aint bad...i quiet like it!

    Brucee...some man for one man. Forever my hero!

  • At 1:33 the flip of the eggplant completely captures the spirit of this song. Thank you for such an amazing video. Definitely money well spent on your video editing software.

  • Awesome. Only Bruce would have the balls to write lyrics like these knowing they can so easily be mocked.

    But it's a continuation of songs like I Wanna Marry You and Reason To Believe.

  • i don't think its as literal as your video

  • you definitely need to watch the making of "dream" to know what this song is about.....

  • It's about finding beauty where other's either can't or don't. ;)

  • Comment removed

  • Watch the "making of..." you're not fooling anyone but yourself.

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent Lyrics, love the sarcasm in this Song . once again he proves  , he,s

    THE BOSS , Thank you Bruce !

  • This is the best song on Queen of the Supermarket!

  • And once again he sounds like he's 19 years old - love the vocals. Haven't even listened to any other song on the album cause I can't even get past this song. Thank you once again Bruce!

  • Had to hear it a few times, but it's another Springsteen masterpiece

  • Comment removed

  • great vocal by bruce on this one. he said on the DVD footage that he needed some adrenalin to sing it in this key (G major). Nils does some great high harmonys also.

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome video sir or madam : )

    2 critics in the paper said the album was crap...what do those retards know.

    The WHOLE album is GOLDEN, Outlaw Pete would make a 95 year old man strike a hard on!

    Bruce is THE man!!

  • Amen!

  • would anyone care to agree, that this is a fantastic song lol

    i mean jesus this album is all 5 star material but theres a few that just stick out and this is one of em

  • Fucking Awesome.Great Video, amazing song

  • Is that you shopping? killer vid to a killer tune. *****!

  • Whoaaaaa the Boss dropped an F Bomb...thats new =\

  • Thought the same thing

  • The Stingray at 3:15 is B!tchin'!! :)

  • Good edit work, I loved your video. :-)

  • ohhh..I'm in Love..with sompthin'!

  • For me he is the genius of our time...

  • Just when you think Bruce has outdone himself with " MAGIC", he continues to amaze. the Definitive musician of our times. Beautiful, just stunning

  • I think some people are missing what this is all about....its very reminicent of little girl I want to marry you....just a guy in love with a girl who dosnt know he exists...my girlfriend in college was a grocery clerk and this song take me back to those days...outlaw pete and wrestler are the best onthe album though
