btw..as much as i love the Boss's music...i don't agree with suicide bombers, tho he does make a great statement against them in 'paradise'..sorry, i just don't agree with anything that causes lives to be lost in such an insidious manner..
I read that this song is about a relationship between a man from the west and a woman from very traditional mideast roots,a romeo & juliet of sorts.Very cool sound,something different from Bruce

cool song its like a war dance from our Native Americans, id take this song to war, it gets me all fired up, to kill a terrorist, one of my favorites, this Album is a dedication to 911, thank you bruce.
The song features middle eastern music, not Native-American. Fired up to kill Terrorists? This is a song for peace, bringing worlds together. Listen to it.
@MegaAldoN: The singer in the backgroud a Pakistani Qawwal (type of folk music). He holds the Guiness book of world records title for the highest number of qawwali albums released (125). The music at the start is a fusion of the western and the subcontinental music.. Its brilliant the way it has been fused. its simply a matter of good talent.
@Excallaber1 You have completely missed the point of the song. It is a song of tolerance, recognising difference of cultures and a hope for a fusion of those cultures. He is standing against the Islamic prejudice in the aftermath of 9/11.
The first time I heard this song I asked if it was from the Lion King, but then I was hypnotized by it's absolute brilliance, power, and beauty. It's tough being the only kid in your school who appreciates that glory that is Bruce Springsteen.
What an amazing song like seriously. Im a huge fan of Black Metal, and am usually really closed minded about stuff, but I just cant deny, this song is simply brilliant.
absolutely! actually, today, i was talking about his song "wrecking ball" which he sang and wrote for the closing of giants stadium. and me and this girl next to me got into this WHOLE discussion about it. and she said he was "too old to write msuic" and i almsot strangled her. luckily half the class agreeed with me (: i lvoee him sooo much its not even funny.
@2pacbiggie4334 may I come? I live in a area that is just pure metal and Pure Rap only. I am seriously the only one who likes Bruce anymore. I got some middle ground with The Gaslight Anthem, a couple people like them.
no one gets how special this man is to me. He's my insperation. People in my school say "Oh he's not cool" or "His music sucks" when they listen to rap.
I used to live in NYC and on Sept 11th I seen the smoke as black as black could get from my class and thought I'd die. Then a few months later, this comes out and really changed me. Once you got though something like that, you change
Fantastic song, real pearl from the Boss.
