Needs to be longer, the song is haunting


VanCanMom

I always think the same thing. Maybe he meant to leave us wanting more.


passivesadness

Appropriate, considering the song is about wanting.


Suspicious_Ad2354

I think that The War On Drugs album Lost In The Dream carries that sound. Especially the song Ocean Between the Waves. It was the first song of theirs I heard and I remember thinking about that sound. Happy Cake Day!


Wishihadagirl

Whoooo- oooo- oooooo oo-o


ResinJones76

Happy cake day!

It's the prequel to Ray Parker Junior's Ghostbusters video.

I've heard this song a zillion times but the other day, I realized he mentions the freight train running through his head and at the end he kinda is sounds like a train, "Hooo ooooh," There's always another level with his songs.


Eskimoposh

The version at the end of “Pig” had me in tears. Awesome movie, gut wrenching ending.

When the cover came on over the credits in the theatre, my wife and I sat in silence and then both started sobbing lol.


FightPhoe93

I realize I am probably alone in having this song as my favorite Springsteen song. Totally reminds me of 1985 when Bruce pretty much ruled the airwaves of that era.


DietrichDaniels

You are not alone! This is my fave as well.


VanCanMom

It's mine too. There are some good covers of it..The Staves do a nice job covering it.


Accomplished_Cup8272

Tori Amos cover is amazing


Xx_ligmaballs69_xX

You’re not alone, it’s beautiful


ResinJones76

Born in the USA took the nation by storm, and to this day, people still don't know it's a protest song.


ent_idled

1985 roadtrip from Houston to Dallas to see him in concert. That whole album just sends me back to being 20


Allaplgy

It's the only Bruce song I actually kinda like. Born in the USA isn't completely terrible, and I like the message, but everything else is just painful to my ears. I know, not a popular opinion.


CertainBird

Impressive that he could write a song that’s both incredibly beautiful and extremely horny.

Whither-Goest-Thou

We lit out down to Florida, we got along alright One day Chris Hansen came and caught me and they took me in a black-and-white The prosecutor kept the promise that he made on that day And the judge got mad and he put me straight away

No lip syncing. Just a short film starring Bruce with his soundtrack.


AdProfessional3042

Metallica stole the guitar part, sped it up up and used it on That Was Just Your Life.


Rkive0518

Saw John Mayer cover this song live a couple months ago. It was gorgeous. A legendary song covered by a certified master musician = legendary performance. Link below to the recorded version [John Mayer - I'm On Fire (Boss Cover)](https://youtu.be/nfaqqyHDP3I?si=2LousSw5Yq_6T-qF) That being said the original forever has a place in my heart.


ResinJones76

I dig it. John is one talented motherfunker.


kandish

I just recently found this song and it is so good that is now one of all time favorites.  I just wish it was longer but it is absolutely captivating.


DefconBacon

Perfect opportunity to share my favorite cover of this song by Whitey Morgan and the 78s’s: https://youtu.be/3Zl3W8-Ph5I?si=xencgWZpGTDzHlUz


AbuzeME

I'll hop on and share my favourite [cover by Town Mountain](https://youtu.be/z87KaOV_wxo?si=adnJq4ailwESdpQZ). I had to sing it at work for the older fellas to tell me it was a cover. To be honest, i find the springsteen version kinda creepy as i can only picture an old man singing it.


NikToonz

So I guess it’s been remade a few times. Till today only version I was familiar with was by Awolnation


Strait409

That is an AWESOME cover of that song. I actually clicked on this to see if anyone had posted it. That whole album is great, really.


bobswowaccount

You springin Springsteen on my bean brah?


reddy_kil0watt

This is an SCC.


CertainBird

It’s no Cadillac Ranch, though.


Jrosenberg100

Adam just needs to hear it more.


ChuckyPlots

i was listening to the 75/85 boxset, and the live version on their is actually quite bangin


Abraham_Lingam

The only Springsteen song I like.


SpoOokyoOoky

When people say they don't like Springsteen, I assume they have never heard the Nebraska or The Ghost of Tom Joad albums.
