Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band - Nothing Man

[Deneised]

@TheDumbSwede Bruce rocks....has for forever now.....I do realize...you are 200 percent right!

[mlansle1]

Do you have the other live outing for this song?

[julianroses]

clarence, rip big man

[Kbuckhannon]

it's just me lord  I pray that i'm able

[zuzanarox]

I don't know why he doesn't play this song live more often ... it's probably one of his most powerful songs, EVER ... REALLY!!

[Videogamefreak16]

this song is actually about a fireman, i think

[Deneised]

This is from The Rising - Bruce wrote it after 9/11 - I understand he lost a very close friend - the whole CD is so touching and all about loss - Bruce brillent as usual.

[djcanfield4]

yeah its like...not a conceptual album but its based off songs that relate to anyone who went threw some sort of emotion after or during the 9/11 attacks

[fanka63]

bardzo ładna piosenka!

[05027405]

Veramente molto bello: La sua voce è magia!

[clarunia]

La bellissima canzone :-)

[BornAgain7007]

Molto molto bella! :)

Grazie mille clarunia!

[davidsenoner]

grazie bruce

[vandal777]

amazing version. sounds strange having so many people talking in the background.

[nittyranks]

Yeah well when he started it not many people in the audience really knew the song because the album had not really caught on and did not know what it was about.

[austmick]

A song about survivor's guilt. The point of view of a firefighter who lived through 9-11 while his brothers didn't. Nothing short of brilliant....

[pacbiggie4334]

almost everything he does is nothing short of brillant

[Guedingen]

austmick: I've been intrigued by the lyrics for a long time - at first I thought it was about a veteran of the irag war but he wrote it before the invasion. Not sure about 9/11: 'in a misty cloud of pink vapour' implies a headshot - no matter, it's a heart-wrenching masterpiece.

[stresslie58]

Wow. I never knew that.  How sad. Have

You seen the version Bruce Springsteen,

True heroes? It will give you goose bumps.

[RaiseCFSawareness]

wow this gives me chills

[Jmarshall2k7]

same awesome.

[Targuzz]

FANTASTIC! WOW!

[fearlessleader4life]

survival is somthing we all must face, its a bitch, and so is life, but its those bitchy expieriences that make us who we are today

[Targuzz]

great comment!

[2inchtube]

...ahhh, hmmm - I can compleletly like hmmm relate to hmmmm to the character of this mmmm song man.

[Anna596]

One of the least well songs on The Rising, only performed a couple of times on the 120 show tour, and yet absolutely brilliant. For the last 35 years - first album, Jan, 73 - Bruce Springsteen has been operating at a level so far above any other musician that most people are clueless. A giant for the ages walks among us.

[jorbruce]

Totally agree with you!

[Guevara21]

So do I..........he's the Boss!!!

[mlansle1]

@Anna596 Indeed the best song on the album with worlds apart, the fuse, paradise and lonesome day my other favourites. Perhaps it is hard to project live with the band as this is an acoustic version or maybe he was saddened the crowd would not just STFU!!!!!! Makes me so angry! Worst song on the album has to be lets be friends

[RaiseCFSawareness]

I can relate to the character in this song

[JohnnyVader]

bigtime and psatm are right jimmy. Pearl Jam's Nothingman is a completely different song from this. This is from Springsteens 'The Rising' album. Credit for liking two quality acts as Bruce and Pearl Jam though - rock at its best!

[jimmysiant]

i like pearl james version better. bruce shouldn't have changed the lyrics around so much!

[Bigtime1998]

I hope you're actually joking.  They're two entirely different songs!!!

[jimmysiant]

haha! yeah right! vedder rules. this is off vitalogy. duh!

[psatm]

Dude, this song is completely different than the one you're thinking of from Vitalogy. Lay off the weed a little :)

[blabberwocky]

A beautiful, sad about survival and the guilt that can accompany it.

[Ellderon]

o melhor.....bruce a cada album melhora...o the rising pra mim um dos melhores!!!!!!!!

[Pietro001]

bruuuuuuuuucccccceeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeee

[MartinFarrows]

wonderful.. a rare song from his the rising tour

[nittyranks]

This is a wicked song. One of the best on this album. I was at this show and forgot he did this.

[torontofourpatch]

Gotta love the E Street Band!

[blabberwocky]

A beautiful song. His best in over a decade, I think.

[squealer20]

simply perfect!!!

[marvelgreatfan]

You are absaloutly right. This is perfection in its best form. Bruce you rock. This is one of my tunes, can make me cry everytime.
