bruce springsteen - the river [1st a beautifull speech][lyrics]

bruce springsteen and the river with a long and beautifull speech! I have listen to it plany of times!

I couldnt get the right video to work, so sadley i used another video from the consert in dublin 2007.
BUT I see this video as a tribute to bruce springsteen and how he perform on stage!

ps! if it bother you with the wrong live performance just minimize youtube and listen.

I come from down in the valley where mister when youre young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and mary we met in high school when she was just seventeen
Wed ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green

Wed go down to the river
And into the river wed dive
Oh down to the river wed ride

Then I got mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote
And for my nineteen birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle
No flowers no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river wed dive
On down to the river we did ride

I got a job working construction for the johnstown company
But lately there aint been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well mister they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I dont remember, mary acts like she dont care
But I remember us riding in my brothers car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks Id lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath shed take
Now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it dont come true
Or is it something worse that sends me
Down to the river though I know the river is dry
Down to the river, my baby and i
Oh down to the river we ride

Thank you so much for posting this fr9dd9. I saw the Boss at Glastonbury last Saturday. He played this and, I'm not ashamed to say, I was nearly in tears. My dad died last year and this song, and Bruce, for a huge amount of reasons, really touches the bone. This has been, without a doubt, the best 9mins and 58secs I have spent on youtube.

Peace

Will

@WillisBRock

my dad died in 2009, tears rolling down my face as I listen now in 2011, haven't listened to this in months, memories flooding back, covered in goosebumps, lump of cold concrete in my throat. Awesome speech, awesome song. Take it easy, man, peace RB@U

@WillisBRock Bruce really reminds me of my Dad aswell and although he is still alive i just know Bruce will always remind me of him. I know how you feel about being in tears.

Peace man.

Thanks so much, especially for posting what he says before the song, which is... extraordinarily moving. Thanks.

@WillisBRock My dad also died almost two years ago.. and this was one of his favorite songs from one of his favorite musicians. He used to play his own harmonica along with it.. it was good memories.. this is good stuff..

Best,

[Ilovegreendart21]

wait, what concert is the audio actually from? 

[DuncanMacLe0d]

Have been looking for this video for a long time, been listening to this version for a long time, probably 15 years, make's me melancholic in a very sad way.
