My brother Jeff was a huge Bruce Springsteen fan who passed away on 11/02/2004. His last e-mail and his last communication to me was : "Yesterday in Minnesota Bruce Springsteen did a free concert to tens of thousands of people for John Kerry. One of the songs he did was "Promised Land" which is one of my favorite songs. Yeah Bruce ! Love , Jeff"

I lost my dad to cancer last week and I would have liked to play this song at his funeral. Rest In Peace Dad. I miss you more then you could imagine. They definitely broke the mold when God built you.

My parents bought me this album the xmas before my grandad died. In the 6 months afterwards I moved into his house until it was sold, to sort all the belongings and furniture, and i listened to this album a lot. This song, and Gypsy biker, will always make me think of him.

amazing. Reminds me of my dad. I miss him.



After posting this video when Bruce first released this song, I have been touched by the comments. Both for the Magovern Family, but all others who have used this posting to mourn. Bruce has given us all a gift by writing this song, and allowing it to be posted on Yuotube.
To all of us who have lost loved ones, each one special in thier own right, each one breaking the mold........
