Bruce Springsteen - If I Should Fall Behind

[Jturbo3077]

this is an amazing performance i cannot get through it without being deeply touched

[jimmy59ca2001]

the big man fell behind, what a loss , RIP

[SuperScuddy]

The Big Man was a beautiful river...

[deafhorton]

i used to absolutely love this song but now it only brings me pain as i hear it in my head everytime i see my ex

[totoado]

the song is about breaking up i think and also in somehow the song is also about the estreet and the boss is singing it to the members and saying that if they even split up there will always be a come back

[bigjwiz]

The will be no.1 in a least of 100 reasons why bruce is the Boss!!! pure legendary.

[CoolHeal20]

thankyou for uploading this i had it on cd bu hadent seen the video amazing

[joanlagoy]

For my sweet Oletha, we all love you so much, joanie, marion, many feathers, ollie,

Wait for us my friend, we will see you again, Love always Oletha...

[famdaff]

I kept my vowel...when she fell behind, I waited for her; when I fell behind, she didn't wait for me...

[fuckknowsnotme]

Our song...I just never thought at the time it would be me waiting for you...we will get there...and in the mean time I am always here...

[smichelle65]

I love Nils' voice.

[murphy2034]

What a great song! Sheri I love you.Ron.

[scarygirl78]

Dedicated to the love of my life; you know who you are...

[jimsabean]

Absolutely love this song. Very touching!

[MrDannydo]

[wat700son]

AMAZING

[arbitrarynonsense]

This song has always touched me. It's so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[4rainbowed]

Lovely to hear Nils sing, especially harmonizing like that. I don't think I have been able to hear him sing with the E Street Band like that before.

[rainlove2000]

excellent, this was really...excellent. ty

[mellors1000]

For Zoe, my step daughter, gone to a far better world. Thank you Bruce for your version of this very sad song.

[23rdbs]

stevie's voice is georgious here!

[Tobal63]

j'adore le passage avec le saxo

[willysjeep1945]

just perfect!!!!!

[Lavishn116]

OHMIGOD!!! I LOVE this version... planning on doing a COVER of my own...

[kabouterke007]

Awesome !!! 10****

[K4driver2]

Steve Van zandt is great. as well as the rest....shame their single work is not recognized much

[queeniemoimou]

beautiful! every time I hear it, no words to say what i feel. !!!!!!

[amag15]

The very best version of this song.

[Goustos923]

Can you buy this version on the net?

[Viii1ktor]

@goustos

If you don't want the buy the DVD live in new york city, you can always buy the live album "live in new york city" or just this song from itunes store for example.

[dogs0290]

this song is so beautiful!

"I'll wait for you

And should I fall behind

Wait for me"

I dedicate this song to the love of my life.

I'll love you forever, WJB.

[fenderdre]

17-06-2010

[RossTheHick]

Gives me the chills every time. A beautiful and most importantly, TRUE song that we can all relate to. A poignant sax solo and beautiful harmonizations. What more could you want in a song?

[oreozeus]

Love it, I thinks its THE BANDS best

[Kakashigirl921]

my all time favortie song. so amazing and wonderful

[Volgin93]

You've got to love it :)

[motherocean24]

This song is a spiritual awakening. Love you Bruce and so happy you and E-street are together again-----never separate! You are family and marvelous together. Best thing that ever happened was discovering you in the 80s love!!

[skunkroaster]

Fabulous

[lekezenman]

ENDORSE THIS SONG DEEP INSIDE OF YOU...you might probably be in "that lost-scenario" , no matter what or who, ONE OF YOUR LIVING DAYS.

THINK AND CARE!

[lekezenman]

How integer this version!

I often ,going to work ...in older days Brussels job-times, helped (rather panicking) people with car-struck out of for them claustrofobial tunnels.

MY PLEASURE.

It does never matter anyhow ,but still... sincerely ,I did apreciate the girl that tbought me 3 cards of our Help-centre-for -homeless-people...

Belgians? They love you for themselves and drive away...Not all...as already mentioned.

Bernard

[haitianjack5]

Id just like to add that for all the true e street band fans out there, you need to pick up the BIG MAN by clarence clemmons, fantastic collection of stories and tall tales from the man himself

[bkyamo]

sax player = Clarence Clemons

Also known as The Big Man

[haitianjack5]

you want to be like him but you cant... do i have to say his name?????

[bkyamo]

Clarence!!!

[imouttaherethen]

so beautiful

[saxysam]

What is his sax player's name?

[gemimapoo]

The best Boss video on the WHOLE of Youtube.... EVER. AMAZING......

[daveyjay15]

This video proves that Bruce is a team player when it comes to sharing the spotlight to the band. This song brings tears to my eyes still after listening to dozens of times.

[WERTY123]

it amazing how Bruce seems to share out the limelight with the other band members..

just shows what great individual singers they are.

[TheSaddestThought]

this version makes me cry!

[DoctorFleischmann]

Hip, hip, hurray for ever Bruce Springsteen (The Boss) and the boys of the E Street Band (Dani Federici, Steve Van Zandt, Clarence Clemonds, Roy Bittan...)

[jamesslaven1]

its like me man am just an envolope in a sealed letter so a am

[transformator40]

wonderful song...magic!

[cfinderskeepers]

Amazing!!!!!

[donnamacleods]

Ty so much for all of your support! God Bless You!

[rosadelbosco]

I LOVE BRUCE

[donnamacleods]

My husband died in Jan. when he got sick he went to youtube and sat me down to listen to this song. And he fell behind and now I will wait for him.His hand slipped free, I spread his ashes on water and played this song. Gals and guys do not wait for something like this to happen, Love like its your last day on earth and never take each other for granted, Love is so precious! I know ,I wish i had the last 25 years to do over! God Bless you!

[Darodh]

God bless you and him, always together...

[Clawnzon]

God bless you!

Now, you stay strong and healthy! I think that's what your loved one would like you to be.

And for this song, it's simply amazing!

Take care,

from Sweden

[jorgenmac]

As long as he's with you, that's all that matters. You did all you can do. He died in peace, that was his path. You follow yours. Do not connect the dots looking forwards , you can only connect them looking back. It will all make sense one day.

[heartthatmatters]

@donnamacleods Donna thank you God Bless you.

[cicciofritto]

@donnamacleods tx donna... tx alllot...

[radicalbehaviorist]

@donnamacleods I think the fact that your husband sat you down and played this song says something important about his love for you. And I think he was in contact with your love for him. God bless.

[stissestiff]

@donnamacleods God bless YOU........

[XxMirnxX]

@donnamacleods God bless you. I came to this song and started listening to it. The song itself made my feelings fly, but as I read your comment, there were tears running down my face. And I knew that if I was crying about you descibing such a thing, I wondered how you must've felt when your husband died. I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but he's still with you. thank you so much

[donnamacleods]

@XxMirnxX TY...DIDN'T MEAN TO MAKE YOU CRY,,,S-M-I-L-E...I MISS HIM SO MUCH. I JUST CANNOT SEEM TO MOVE PAST THIS AND ITS SO HARD TO FIND SOMEONE THAT LOVES YOU SO UNCONDITIONALLY LIKE WE DID! I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT HE WILL LEAD ME TO THE PATH I AM SUPPOSE TO FOLLOW! GOD BLESS YOU AND ALWAYS REMEMBER TO LOVE WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART AND SOUL...AND TELL AND SHOW THAT PERSON EVERYDAY AS ONE DAY YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SAY ...NEVER HAVE REGRETS!

[XxMirnxX]

@donnamacleods (: thank you. god bless.

[flatericisdead]

@donnamacleods oh my lord!! That story made me cry xxxxxx

[Joeman3438]

@donnamacleods

I think this is the best youtube comment i'v ever read...im loosing alot of things right now in my own life and im trying so hard to hold onto what i have left...but what i realized is that most people wont wait for you if you fall behind..everyones just looking out for themsels...you seem to be lucky and your husband was lucky as well to have someone who would wait for them. Never forget how lucky you are to have that..i hope one day i find someone as beautiful as you :)

[donnamacleods]

@Joeman3438 and you will find someone...my friend...do not depend on people to make you happy, find yourself within and you will find the strenghth to get through this...i thought i was going to die when he died and let me tell you i went as far down as a human being can go...NOW...here i sit starting my life over...I am all that I can be and i am free...he wouldnt have wanted me to be sad...So shake your head...SMILE...and WALK ON...THIS TOO WILL PASS AND TY FRIEND!

[Joeman3438]

@donnamacleods your right...strength can only come from within...i shouldnt be dependant on other people and im trying to change that about myself...but its hard..its good to know that you made it out of your bad times and you give me hope that i can also get past my troubles....thanks for the response...i hope your where the light is :)

[007h20]

@donnamacleods My wife and 11 year old daughter were hit head on and killed at 8:30 AM on the 4th of July of this year by a drunk driver who drove the wrong way on the highway for 14 miles. No time for goodbyes, and sometimes I feel I will never overcome my grief. This song played at their funeral, and now it just make me cry like a baby I hope we find the comfort and peace down the road to deal with our losses. God bless you

[jeanner1000]

@donnamacleods Bless your heart...J.

[Johnkult]

@donnamacleods

Touching story....

[Martjie100]

Just beeeaaaauuutiful! And I love to see how many people's hearts are touched by the Boss and his Band. Keep going, Bruce!

[auntie1001]

hauntingly beautiful!

[Barmyarmy94]

You just have to love bruce and the big man!!!!

[jazzfunk61]

Briiliant

[ncarver]

thank you :-)

[riskyvan]

great song!

[Darodh]

Please ! Who's who ?Bruce a part !

[craigdanbeaton]

It goes in this order

1st to sing: Bruce

2nd: Steve Van Zandt

3rd: Nils Loffgren

4th: Patti Scialfa (Bruce's wife and the person the song was wrote to)

5th:Clarence Clemons

[Darodh]

Thank you !

[kilbashian]

...this is such an emotional version...definite chills...

[74carlos46]

if i should fall behind........wait for me

[mw1910]

this song gives me chills from the first to last note

[bgluckler]

this is it .. i have it ....my song for the end...love the husband, the kids, the grand kids........perfect....use to be "walking the cage"...buffet.....but this is the one....oh yeah!

[gumlady]

beautiful!

[loveleigh4ever]

I've always wondered who Nils reminds me of, and when I saw his hand-movements, I realized that it was Jack Sparrow. They're both wonderful. :)

No wonder this was played during the Reunion Tour. Hope they've realized now that if one of them falls behind, they'll just wait until they can keep playing as the greatest band in the world. ^_^

[aishling82]

would never have came across this amazing song only for bf j, thanks babe, i adore this song...n yes i'll wait 4 u x x x

[appleuro]

Does anyone have a tab that corresponds to this lovely version ? It's difficult to see what he's playing in the dark !

[jamielee1696]

pretty easy... A, F#m, and D

[appleuro]

Thanks for that Jamielee

[pawnshops]

A haunting melody with lyrics so meaningful to most of us - Bruce, you're a genius !

[motherocean24]

Just....wow....

[Stablelemur]

Patti's voice makes me want to drop and anvil on my sack

[ckmixx21]

This was my wedding song....Love you Bruce...

[PRIMADONNA12658]

I happen to enjoy the Faith Hill version better... and I am sure she makes prettier faces , LOL (I like the background music better)

[lonestar3]

I've never heard the Faith Hill version, but it must pale in comparison. This is spine chilling.

[geenerbob]

I love this song but prefer Faith Hill's version. I can't find a video for it at all on this popular site!!!!!!!

[troot28]

Her version is good but it is missing a few important ingredients. Namely, the BIG MAN, Little Steven, Nils Lofgren, Patti and some old guy who plays a Telecaster!!

[rkem88]

THE BEST !!!

[marire1]

After Danny passed away, this performance has gotten a whole new meaning. We miss you Danny!

[fannybawz01]

I can feel the hairs on my neck stand up EVERY time i listen to this !!!

[Clawnzon]

This is the best version, simply the best!

It's easy, it's soft, it's beautiful, it's.......damn, I don't know what to say anymore........... I love this!!!

[1Anettka6]

They're amazing!! I love this song !!

[pilot2308]

Seen and heard this live in Offenbach Germany in 99. Still runs shivers up and down my spine!!

[wvwrestler27]

Compare this version and the one from the Live in Dublin cd. The dublin version is so much more lively and upbeat. But they are both equally good (if good even starts to describe it). Its just amazing how completely different these 2 versions can be, but they are equal

[ohmercy]

Oh my- heartbreaking and absolutely gorgeous.

The dam just broke in my heart that has recently been hardened to losing my lover.

Thanks so much for this- I needed to hear this and remember truth.

thank you, thank you.

[uconnfan89771]

i dont like to use this word but,........beautiful

[self8888]

My beautiful Dorothy, I love you so much.

Please return my heart.

[dorotacik]

"... Now I'm standin' on this empty road where nothin' moves but the wind

Once I was your treasure and I saw your face in every star

But the promises we make at night, oh that's all they are

Unless we fill them with faith and love they're empty as the howlin' wind

And honey I just wanna be back in your arms..."

[Rockoss]

im just greatfull that bruce can still make hits similar to this and how even in a digital age we can still feel the feeling in songs.

[bossnbruce]

Debby,even tho we have just recently met,I would ALWAYS wait for you.

[bossnbruce]

Baby, I will always be here for you, today and forever.

[jonnygb4]

i will wait for you too

should i fall behind

wait for me.....

[voicesonthebluff]

anyone know if there is a studio version of them all singing?

[63benters]

Hello voicesonthebluff.You find it on cd Lucky Town,Bruce Springsteen in consert plugget cd and dvd, and live in New York city cd and dvd.and the complete video anthology 1978/2000:-)Have a nice day

[rubbersouldier]

Brenda,

I don't think either of us will fall behind. I love you SO much.

Shepherd

[Viii1ktor]

This is just an amazing version of this song! It's incredible how there can be so many good or at least decent singers in one single band.

[1988isabelle]

I'll wait for you, and should I fall behind, wait for me.

So simple. So beautiful. I've got nothing more to say.

(or, one more thing. nils is great)

[oldseal]

Ich warte auf dich...

Ewig...

....und danke, dass du dich mit mir abgibst!

[albertaberg]

saxophone part, magic

[Passiej90]

I love how the E-Street Band is such a family, it's so much more than a band.

[SuzzyStohelit]

Hey Zach I really miss you, but you know this, this song is yours, I always told you remember? To wait for me.

[reginfilange]

i had chills through that entire song

[DantezChinzo]

yeah me too.. shivers running down my arms.. amazing

[dandou21]

danced with my wife during our wedding as our "first song" still get chills as I anticipated Clarence's solo, every freakin' time!!

[guitaristavista]

easily one of the greatest and most honest love songs ever written. songs like this warrant the 'repeat' button on stereos ever being invented in the first place.

[johnnydontcry57]

I totally agree. The only one I can think of that gives it a run for its money is "Happy," another Springsteen song.

[EtienneSpringsteen]

Happy, from tracks?

But this song almost make me cry, everytime I listin to it.. So beautifal!

[horatiu2003]

an amazing song about true love and relationships

[fsch11101968]

Was gibt es besseres auf der Welt?

[Orgryteman]

Clarence Clemons Voice !! so nice!!

[sweet4uluv]

"I'll wait for you and should I fall behind wait for me"

[Renee1003]

ONE of the most beautiful songs EVER MADE!!! Just adore it and Stevie NAILS IT in this version!!!

[Stewiebender1818]

this is a beautiful song

[miklomiklosan]

One of the best I've ever heard!

[Kingmouse428]

My wife and i chose this for our wedding song.......bruce is the man

[ForYouBrucefromEddie]

great! it's amazing

[Brainax]

this song is so damn great!

I LOVE IT!

but " The River " is also very nice work!

[brucediggarn]

He sure is the one true and only Boss!

[TCMO99]

This is beautiful!

[jazzfunk61]

brilliant . awesome

[deespiceman]

i'd never heard this song before, but i feel like i really don't need to hear another version... the boss is awsome, and the e-street band is the perfect compliment... they even got clarence to sing!!!

[blinkmebitch182]

my favourite version of this song

so emotional

[naypats]

a beautiful song from a beautiful man and a beautiful band!

Nils has such a soft and smooth voice!

[motherocean24]

The Boss man....the Boss....

[bigbadmart1]

Awesome absolutely awesome

[d2thailo]

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE NJ

[harryguitarjackson]

poome.

[pawnshops]

This is such a sad song since the death of the keyboard player/accordianist - love this version.

[talietime]

Feeling...they sing with it so honestly and strongly, I feel it deeply. A tear on my cheek.

[spreadeagle21]

bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce­

[chopsie01]

2:30

nils lofgren and patti scallfa need to share a mic far more often--those two harmonize too well for words.

[ehciaomarcello]

true

[languagedancer]

Someone I suspect of being very very dear just shared this with me...nodding toward the Big Apple with appreciation for the kindness of familiar strangers.

[fatimagranico]

very very very beautiful.......

[cardo1111]

Another great Springsteen & co. performance, youv'e gotta love Silvio belting it out!

[peekerin]

In ewiger Liebe an mein Grosi und mein Grossvati! Ihr werdet jeden Tag vermisst!!!! :-(:-(

[chamberlandbigshtyle]

fuc!@#3 the chords... Listen and learn children.

[jarr4me]

My favorite version of this song. Does anyone know if there is a video of the Madison Sq Garden concert date in 2000 that this particular version was videoed? Backstreets was performed before If I should fall behind.

[jimbo170505]

i disagree with springsteen's politics but he is a hell of an artist.

[lacrossebruce]

amen

[shandar7]

goosebumps all over. BRUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!

[TALIANBLONDBOMB]

every x I see this video i wanna cry....the beauty of each voice it leaves me speechless...they are truly one of the best ever......n he isnt called the BOSS for nothing!!!!!!Love, love, love this!

[ZenithJones2]

I will wait for you if I should fall behind wait for me !!! Damn I Love This Song !!!

MUSICAL SALVATION FOR US ALL, THANKS BRUCE.....

[krock910]

wow, absolutely breathtaking.

[OllyonsoElBeast]

This is such a beautiful song. Means so much, really brilliant stuff indeed

[HESbetterthandrugs]

That is the most beautiful thing i have ever heard! It brings tears to your eyes

[tashacox32]

BRUCE rules

[ocmc32]

just sayin that buruce springsteen and the e-street band are releasing a new album (already i know they just can't spot producing them!). i can not wait to see them live coz i don't know how many more times we may see the e-street band now clarence is well into his 60's.

[mainitz]

does anyone know the chords of this live version? first is E in the 4th fret, but the following? if someone knows about it please tell me !! thx

[Mjhebert190]

this is by far the best thing i have ever seen

[Bigtime1998]

He just keeps getting better with age. His last 4 albums and tours have been so phenomenal that words cannot do them justice. This song from the 99 tour is beyond incredible. He is my hero!!!

[chamberlandbigshtyle]

Amen.
