My two little brothers and me performed this song with some others for my father. It was the first time in years I saw him cry and he looked so proud. This song means a lot to me, we performed it that night not only for our dad but also for a great friend of our family who had died of cancer just two weeks earlier.

My name is Andreas, and I love architecture. I recently made a channel and I posted a few videos of my 3D models, and if you have an extra 2 minutes, please check out my channel. It would mean a lot ot me.

Hard to find a talent like springsteen today, Its clear to see the likes of Justin Beiber using Bruce as an inspiration as both are able to relate to the working class and the troubles faced with society today... True music shall not be lost
@jackHNv - Oh God, I remember writting this after a couple bottles of red wine and saying to my pal I wonder how much abuse I would get. But yeah I have great respect for the boss, as for Beiber... not so much :)
I was at this gig and halfway through this song i had tears in my eyes. Tears of gratitude for being there at what was, outside of my kids being born, the greatest night of my life.
Remembering Clarence tonight by the song I chose...this song by Bruce is just gorgeous and goes to any ESB fan...one last journey...we can be assured that those close to CC that he is in heaven now and in time, the pain of his passing will be eased by the fact that he is in the land of hopes and dreams and that is ok to cry...death takes a life but not a relationship. The chemistry between Bruce and Clarence was so special...we all have those memories. We miss you CC.
Well put, ILoveLucyE68NY!! I heard an interview with Clarence Clemons once where he pointed out that "Bruce is a genius". You're right about all the awards crap, but it just shows you what the people "in the know" really know.
And yes, this song is truly an artistic masterpiece. Time will demonstrate that.
I was unsure how i really felt about this song at first, until one day I had it on while going through a tough time. I got fired, and was in the process of relocating. And This song happened to play while my music was shuffling. That's when it hit me like a rock. God Bless this man, every one of his songs is a gem.
Bruce Springsteen is the BEST ENTERTAINER of our time,, and he deserves a LifeTime Achievement Grammy award,,even though he still entertaining..lets recognize this enormous talent and thank God for giving him to our generation !!!! Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce
@ILoveLucyE68NY He deserves a Life Time Apology from the Grammy's. He's won a few, but the bigee, Best Record? Nope. You tell me what albums were etter tha Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, The Rising, or Magic?
How could Girls in their Summer Clothes not get best song. This one, Land of hope and Dreams, was completely ingnored, and it's a masterpiece.
I saw him at the first Rising show a week after the 2002 Grammy's. He opened. "I'd like to thank absolutely fucking nobody."
@ILoveLucyE68NY I think God gave him to our generation, sometimes I think to me (we're the same age). But I guess I think he transcends generations and nationalities.
He's a human treasure whose music will be around in a hundred years. I used to think the Beatles were magic- in-a-bottle that were a one a century phenomenon. Now I don't think we'll ever see that level of magic again.
I've come to feel the same way about Bruce. We'll never see anyone like him again.
Sorry, I'm not on this train, and I live on a different planet you can never imagine of. I don't want to be on the train carrying bunch of mean people.
@carrywet When this train arrives, and it's coming, there will be room for everyone. *Everyone!!* Saints and Sinners Losers and Winners Whores and Gamblers Fools and Kings The Mean and the Nice. But one person's Saint is another's Sinner One's Loser? Another's Winner. On Bruce's Train, everyone will be welcome. What if someone thinks you're a loser? Who decides who will be welcome on yours? On Bruce's Train, no decisions needed. Ya don't need no ticket, ya just get on board.
@XxXCherryzx This song is about hoping for a better future. Leaving behind something worse then where you are going. Its about making your life better. He is trying to get the message out in a subtle way about today's society. We all hope for better things for our futures. "Trust none of what you hear. Less of what you see." The world is crap. He knows it. He is just trying to let us all know in his own subtle way. He could turn into a Lennon and just let it all out but they'd probably off him
What an unbelievable musician and band, His songs will more than likely end up in text for future readings. One of the best artists that's walked God's blessed earth. Luv him
An insanely amazing song.... I am a lifelong Bruce disciple and this song went into my top 5 on the 3rd listen. I have seen it live in concert a couple times and like others have indicated, it is such an energetic and positive force. It is probably retired now, but thanks to YouTube, it will live for all to enjoy. :)
Oh, and about 30 others that are otherworldly classics, and 50 more that are merely too GREAT to describe, and a hundred more that are better than anything by anyone else with the exception of perhaps McCartney, Dylan, Young, and Simon.
And at least a hundred more that would be the best song anyone else had ever written.
I'm in my 50's and I've heard everything there is to hear since the early 1960's. This performance is the most perfect performance of the most perfect piece of music that has ever been written and performed live. The band must have known about halfway through. The house rockin', pants droppin', earth shockin', hard rockin', booty shakin', love makin', heart breakin', soul cryin'... and, yes, death defyin' legendary E Street Band. The best there will ever be.
To all of you that claim 6:20 is where they knew that nailed it, I beg to differ. Make sure you watch the reaction of the Big Man at 5:51, he is really feeling it at that point and knows they ripped it up!
all aboard, no other musician can produce this kind of energy, Its incredible even on youtube, I cant even guess how it feels live, next tour nothing will stop me
@z3ko We saw him last fall in Cleveland Ohio, and Bruce was amazing.........the energy and stamina he has is incredible. He was so nice and kind to all of his fans. He really knows how to relate to the crowd.
@z3ko It's impossible to describe what it's like to see him live. It's like the last ten second of an important sports event in which your team wins on a miracle, over, and over, and over for three hours. Better than the best drug - natural high. Better than sex (OK, better than some sex, and it lasts longer)
I feel alive. I feel lucky to be sharing time on earth. I leave *knowing* I've seen the best rock n' roll that's ever been or ever will be. I leave thanking God for Bruce Springsteen.
@z3ko You've got that right! I said the same thing before I saw him in 2009. And nothing stopped me! That summer, I saw him 3 times, in 1 months! Bruce is the closest Jesus you'll ever get!
@wholelottahoopin Not bad. 120 sold-out shows for 3,000,000. I thought he was a has been?
And gee, I saw a few, Devils & Dust shows in 05, and they were OK. And a Seeger show in 06 and it wasn't awful. And a few Magic shows in 07 & 08. OK, too. Oh, & a handful of Dream shows in 09. Nearly three hours of intense r & r, song, song, song, with one bleeding into the next. Seemed acceptable. Reunion shows in 99 and 00 were decent, too. It's not possible that all his tours don't suck, is it?
@jajones124 You can buy the entire show for $13 on Amazon. In 30 years of international touring, this Rising show, filmed in late summer 2002, and released on December 1, 2003, is the first full Bruce Springsteen concert released for sale. Nothing can duplicate live, but it does about as well as TV allows.
$13! CDs cost almost that much. If you have a widescreen TV and a good sound system, play this, as LOUD as she'll go. It's not live, but it's not bad. He plays one more after this.
I believe in the land of hopes and dreams. It is so true Faith will be rewarded and Love for others. Keep singing Bruce and may we meet someday because we believe the same. Little Princess
I litsen to this song, The Promised Land, Thunder Road, and Darkness when I'm down. It does a great job of making me happy again, or, if I'm just too damn far down, at least be at peace with feeling down. THE BOSS
A small drumkit, a non spectacular way of playing the drums, simple ritems, but what an effect he has on the band and the music. He can't be replaced, even not by his son who is not bad but plays different as i saw in Holland this year. Born to run didn't sound like it should be.
leave behind your sorrows let this day be the last tomorrow there'll be sunshine and all this darkness past God allmighty I LOVE YOU BRUCE !!!!!!!.......
Thanks to Bruce for church out in the open fields where little love is.
Brothers and sisters... make ready, seek peace and pursue it. If you walk in it and give it, then if it somehow isn't received, it will always return back to you. It's a win win, okay? God is taking these few moments to smile on us, even through the darkness and terror. There is a place that remains eternal and love lives there. You can count on it.
All just opinions, because people will argue stupidly against this, but what stops 10 people being part of the best band ever? I think The Boss has given us 25-30 reasons over his career to answer that question. Who else can say that?
A truly moving 6 minutes, sung with power and commitment by the man in black.
Then, just when you think it's over, at 6:20 it simply moves up a notch.....an amazing atmosphere, you can see by the Boss's reaction that he knows he nailed it here. Yet he does exactly the same every time, each song he takes on becomes as if his very life depends on it. How does he do it?
Staggering...the guy really is worth all the accolades. And what a band......shaking my head in wondement at it all.......
To me Bruce is the greatest of the greatest. I saw his gig at Tampere Ratinan Stadion 2th of June 2009 and I cried for the first time in 10 years. It was just my dream come true. I love him and his music.
I listen to this song every single day- gives me chills and tears each time. EVERYONE needs a land of hope and dreams. The song brings that little "light" to help you keep going no matter what life (or people) throw at you. I pray for every person in this world that feels like giving up. My prayers go out to your family "rugbymom75"....may your son and fiance find their land of hope and dreams soon.
Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts. 9/11 would have been her daddy's 49th birthday. Everyday is such a struggle but I know with prayers from good people like you, I have faith that they will find their land of hope and dreams.
If anybody needs a land of hope and dreams, it is my son and his fiance. Her father died without health or life insurance. Her childhood home is in foreclosure, they have no money, no place to go and they need all the hope they can get. She has a little sister too. Mom is ill. They need a miracle. Dad was an immigrant, who came here with nothing, worked two jobs and died with nothing. God Bless this poor family.
My two little brothers and me performed this song with some others for my father. It was the first time in years I saw him cry and he looked so proud. This song means a lot to me, we performed it that night not only for our dad but also for a great friend of our family who had died of cancer just two weeks earlier.

@z3ko We saw him last fall in Cleveland Ohio, and Bruce was amazing.........the energy and stamina he has is incredible. He was so nice and kind to all of his fans. He really knows how to relate to the crowd.

@z3ko It's impossible to describe what it's like to see him live. It's like the last ten second of an important sports event in which your team wins on a miracle, over, and over, and over for three hours. Better than the best drug - natural high. Better than sex (OK, better than some sex, and it lasts longer)
I feel alive. I feel lucky to be sharing time on earth. I leave *knowing* I've seen the best rock n' roll that's ever been or ever will be. I leave thanking God for Bruce Springsteen.

@z3ko John Landau was right in 1974 .... The Boss is the future of R 'n' Roll ... and the present .... and the past.

@z3ko You've got that right! I said the same thing before I saw him in 2009. And nothing stopped me! That summer, I saw him 3 times, in 1 months! Bruce is the closest Jesus you'll ever get!

@wholelottahoopin Not bad. 120 sold-out shows for 3,000,000. I thought he was a has been?
And gee, I saw a few, Devils & Dust shows in 05, and they were OK. And a Seeger show in 06 and it wasn't awful. And a few Magic shows in 07 & 08. OK, too. Oh, & a handful of Dream shows in 09. Nearly three hours of intense r & r, song, song, song, with one bleeding into the next. Seemed acceptable. Reunion shows in 99 and 00 were decent, too. It's not possible that all his tours don't suck, is it?

@jajones124 You can buy the entire show for $13 on Amazon. In 30 years of international touring, this Rising show, filmed in late summer 2002, and released on December 1, 2003, is the first full Bruce Springsteen concert released for sale. Nothing can duplicate live, but it does about as well as TV allows.
$13! CDs cost almost that much. If you have a widescreen TV and a good sound system, play this, as LOUD as she'll go. It's not live, but it's not bad. He plays one more after this.

I litsen to this song, The Promised Land, Thunder Road, and Darkness when I'm down. It does a great job of making me happy again, or, if I'm just too damn far down, at least be at peace with feeling down. THE BOSS

The mighty Max Weinberger.
A small drumkit, a non spectacular way of playing the drums, simple ritems, but what an effect he has on the band and the music. He can't be replaced, even not by his son who is not bad but plays different as i saw in Holland this year. Born to run didn't sound like it should be.

Amen, simply means so be it. So yes, amen.
Thanks to Bruce for church out in the open fields where little love is.
Brothers and sisters... make ready, seek peace and pursue it. If you walk in it and give it, then if it somehow isn't received, it will always return back to you. It's a win win, okay? God is taking these few moments to smile on us, even through the darkness and terror. There is a place that remains eternal and love lives there. You can count on it.

All just opinions, because people will argue stupidly against this, but what stops 10 people being part of the best band ever? I think The Boss has given us 25-30 reasons over his career to answer that question. Who else can say that?

A truly moving 6 minutes, sung with power and commitment by the man in black.
Then, just when you think it's over, at 6:20 it simply moves up a notch.....an amazing atmosphere, you can see by the Boss's reaction that he knows he nailed it here. Yet he does exactly the same every time, each song he takes on becomes as if his very life depends on it. How does he do it?
Staggering...the guy really is worth all the accolades. And what a band......shaking my head in wondement at it all.......

You just said the words this needed. Thank you.
To me Bruce is the greatest of the greatest. I saw his gig at Tampere Ratinan Stadion 2th of June 2009 and I cried for the first time in 10 years. It was just my dream come true. I love him and his music.

I listen to this song every single day- gives me chills and tears each time. EVERYONE needs a land of hope and dreams. The song brings that little "light" to help you keep going no matter what life (or people) throw at you. I pray for every person in this world that feels like giving up. My prayers go out to your family "rugbymom75"....may your son and fiance find their land of hope and dreams soon.

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts. 9/11 would have been her daddy's 49th birthday. Everyday is such a struggle but I know with prayers from good people like you, I have faith that they will find their land of hope and dreams.

If anybody needs a land of hope and dreams, it is my son and his fiance. Her father died without health or life insurance. Her childhood home is in foreclosure, they have no money, no place to go and they need all the hope they can get. She has a little sister too. Mom is ill. They need a miracle. Dad was an immigrant, who came here with nothing, worked two jobs and died with nothing. God Bless this poor family.
rugbymom75 2 years ago 2
today we asked the living God to intervene.
please let us know when your miracle arrives.
we have never not known immediate and miraculous results.
the bible is clear, whosoever shall call on the name of jesus WILL be saved.
have no doubt, from the unexpected places he will deliver you.
