This was my wedding song. It so describes how I felt then and now. That is part of Bruce's gift. We can hear a song that is 30 years old and remember how we felt then but also connect it with new experiences. Bruce is simply a genius even though he would probably not like to hear that. However, for someone to be such a prolific writer AND to have those songs reach and touch multitudes of people....it really is nothing short of genius.
This song expresses *exactly* how I feel about my partner, my roommate, my best friend, my daughter's mother, my wife. She's the One who makes me happy.
Therein lies Bruce's genius - the ability to express universal feelings.
I know *exactly* what it means to hide on the backstreets; to encounter a wreck on the highway; to be a citizen of a country that has a long walk home; to stand up when they said, "sit down"; to be a passenger on This Train; and to love and live with She's the One.
@eleot You are correct, my friend. And don't think for a moment that I don't know, and appreciate, what I have, although I think the singer is wrong. You need more than the right partner.
To be happy I think you need: 1) the right partner; 2) the right career; 3) the right hobby/interests/obssesion.
You *do not* need gold or diamond rings, or even the promise of a better world to come. (because if you have the three, what more could you need?)
Springsteen is a gift from above.....his talent is God given, and for me his true status in the history of popular music will only be recognised when he is no longer here. This wonderful song is an outtake believe it or not.
I really didn't remember this song from tracks... It's incredible how this man turns a simple tune into something thrilling... specially if you're in the proper mood to feel it.
@itsybelle To my knowledge, it's never been performed live, and going back to 78, seen 59 shows and own a ton of boots.
My wife thinks I'm obssessed with Bruce, but over the last 33 years I only seen him an average of 1.787878 times a year. I've met people who have seen him 2.000000, or more times over that period. **THEY** need help. Springseen detox and then maybe a 12 step program: 1) Acknowledge that Bruce Springsteen has taken over your life and you need help; etc., etc, and so on.
@karuitha Perhaps s/he cries because it can be so emotionally overwhelming to be alive in a world in which such beauty exists it has to released somehow.
Or maybe because s/he for the first time hears the love they feel.
Or maybe because they know love like this exists, but they no longer have the one they loved.
This song is so bad it wasn't released until 10 years after it was written, and then not on a "regular" album; rather on "Tracks," which just contained all his junk.
Geez, it would be the greatest song 99% of all songwriters currently working had ever writen. Mr. Springsteen is so much better than whomever is number 2, IMO, it's ridiculous to consider who that might be.
wow for somebody who really got a deep down hate for bruce, you know so much about the man and his music just go away a get your itouch out and put on U2 you sad O.
Bruce is the best he's brought me more joy than almost anyone else in the world.. But there is one special girl who makes my life worthwhile, she means the world to me, and someday we'll be so happy, thats a promise chicken. This songs for you babe....4ever...
43 Americans dead just in july, 11 in August from Obama's war. My thoughts are with their families. What ever happened to "bring the boys home"? Any Oblabba voter know?
BUSH'S FAULT!!!
Somehow, eh libs?
OBAMA LIES -- AMERICAN'S DIE!
So when is Springsteen's new album coming out?
Maybe he and Billy Joe Armstrong can come up with a few catchy tunes.
NOT
Obama has adopted every Bush foreign policy including wiretaps, and suspension of habeas corpus. Nice job Boss!
Boss is amazing. It's true, Bruce's B side Tracksare A+ anywhere else, especially in my heart. Another wild thing about Bruce is try to put together a favorite song list you might like to hear him sing and you're stumped. So many wonderful gems he's written. This is a great song, tugs at my heart. Keep rocking Boss, I go back 35 years with you. See you in NYC and Tampa, FL- can't hardly wait. RIP Danny.
god bless this man....a true prophet of rock...everytime i listen to a song i hear it on a diifferent level....i see you in my heart every day.....your music keeps my soul alive
Happy Birthday Ashley, although you may not be into today, its become very special to me. Thank you for opening up and letting me see inside those blues. I know this is tough, i'm sorry for that but i really do love you...please smile today. love -- Brent
Nice to see so many share my sentiments on this touching song... Would love to one day see it performed live,,,With Bruce anything is possible as all of his matrl eventually makes it's way back into the mix
a fellow youtuber sent me this...ive been in love w/this song since tracks "lost & running neat a million dead stars"...this was written round human touch & lucky town...2 very underrated albums...bruce is coming into his own on those albums.
This song has been with my heart for 20years. It grips every beat of my heart. It is one of Bruce's hidden classics. I cry every time I hear it. One of the most romantic songs ever by the greatest writer. Absolute legend. Defianetely my wedding song. My girlfriend just told me :)
i love Bruce, he is the greatest sing and songwriter of all time, and as off nw, i think i may have found the song i want for my wedding! Bruce is a genius!!!!
bruce...this is one of the many that touches my heart and makes me cry everytime i listen...happy birthday to the prophet of rock...keep on doing what you do best...........
A wonderful song most Springsteen fans have never heard. If you are a hardcore fan, go out and by Tracks. It Is all of his B sides and rare songs. You will not be disappointed. There is no one better then the Boss!!
How in the hell does this man do it ?? Tonight this is my favorite Bruce song-----tomorrow it will something else he's written. But tonight this one gets played 50 times
This is an amazing Springsteen song. It is kinda funny when you think about it, this is an "outtake" on the tracks album. Bruce is so talented that songs like this are outtakes! I could only dream of writing like that! He is an amazing man and musician!
I found this on itunes under 18 Track album, it did not appear on my version so thought it may be on US copy??? But yes, Bruce often seems to out take some amazing stuff, guess he has so much amazing music it is hard to make decision, but I do not always agree with is outtake decisions LOL!
One of the best song everrrr
