| Bruce Springsteen – Ain't Good Enough For You Lyrics | 9 years ago |
| My mom doesn't like this song a whole lot because she says it's "sad," but I think she's completely missing Bruce's laughs and the overall fun feeling of it. To me it's more like "all well, I tried, what more can I do?" I love this one, it's got a really nice '60s tune that's extremely hard not to dance to. | |
| Bruce Springsteen – Nothing Man Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Call me emotional, but that story really made me cry. Thank you for sharing that story. | |
| Bruce Springsteen – Nothing Man Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I agree, I've always thought "can't" fits the song much better, and carries a deeper meaning | |
| Bruce Springsteen – Meeting Across the River Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| What was the book titled? | |
| Bon Jovi – (You Want To) Make A Memory Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Their old stuff is great!! "It's My Life", "Livin' on a Prayer", and "Always" only name a few of the great songs they did back when they were new. | |
| Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me, Maybe Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| The guy was gay at the end!! I support gay marriage, but you have to admit that was just strange. And try listening to the lyrics. They make no sense!! | |
| Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me, Maybe Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Are you kidding?? This song has no meaning whatsoever, the music is annoying, and it's just a horrible song. The best songs of 2012 are Bruce Springsteen's "Land of Hope and Dreams", "Wrecking Ball", "Rocky Ground", or even "We Take Care of Our Own". They have real morals, like faith, getting involved in government, keeping hope even in hard time like these, having strength to stand up for what you believe in...to name a few. And the music, the music is just legendary. The E Street Band did a perfect job. The album got a Grammy nomination for best rock album of the year, the song "We Take Care Of Our Own" was nominated for best rock song of the year, and Springsteen was nominated for best rock performer of the year. Carly Rae Jepsen herself even saw him and the band live on 12-4-12, and the only reason I'd know is because I was there too with my dad. Check out real music for a change. | |
| Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me, Maybe Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| That's just it--even a 30-year-old lady I know doesn't get it. This song makes no sense. The lyrics say nothing, the music is obnoxious, and altogether this song sucks. That's why I listen to rock. | |
| Bruce Springsteen – My City Of Ruins Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| That's kind of how my city is. We used to have this nice little theater in town where my family went all the time, and now gangsters hang around the now-closed doors. When my mom and I go on on the bike-paths through the back of town, it's not uncommon to catch a whiff of marijuana from some smokers nearby. You DO NOT walk through the bad parts of town alone at night, period, because in the past people who have were raped and their bodies were found days later. "My Hometown" turns into "Murder Incorporated". I do know exactly what you mean about "The Rising" being your first album, too. For me, my dad is the Springsteen fanatic of my parents, and he turned me into one too. My technical first that I remember has to be Live in Dublin and Magic/Working on a Dream. My dad played them over and over again, especially "If I Should Fall Behind", and I could never get tired of it. I really liked "Mrs. McGrath" back then because of my Irish heritage, and from then on Soozie's violin/fiddle has remained one of my favorite parts of the E Street Band. | |
| Bruce Springsteen – Paradise Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I just consider myself lucky for feeling the same way about this incredible song. My sister is into pop (which I cant stand--I'm a die-hard Tramp) and she just doesn't get my kind of music, with songs like these. I'm not exactly sure I see two women in this story, but I get the same general message, and that's what Springsteen's all about: giving the general idea of a song. I recently just listened to "Nothing Man" about five or six times over and over again, and it's a great song. Maybe your wife and my sister will come through. | |
| Bruce Springsteen – The Wrestler Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| This song is incredible for calming you and falling asleep to. It's just so peaceful; it deserved that Grammy with every line of the song. | |
| Bruce Springsteen – I'm on Fire Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I love "The Wrestler", and found it's a great song to fall asleep to :) "We Shall Overcome" and "Nothing Man" are also great for the same purpose. | |
| Bruce Springsteen – I'm on Fire Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Dirty mind :( The wetness is a cold sweat | |
| Bruce Springsteen – Downbound Train Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| You know, I really hate how everybody nowadays says "like a boss", because there is and always be one boss. *The* Boss. This song says it all. | |
| Bruce Springsteen – I'm Goin' Down Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| You'll hear it on E Street Radio if you have XM radio | |
| Bruce Springsteen – Land of Hope and Dreams Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I don't exactly see this as about America or heaven, at least not entirely, but to me it's about everybody living together in this world. Bruce uses incredible symbolism to say "This train" is our world; we're all riding it together, meaning we're all living together, and it really doesn't matter who we are or what we do, because we're people. We live equally (or at least we should be), and I think part of it is Springsteen saying in the end God doesn't care what we did in the past so much as who we are and what we believe now. "This train/ Carries saints and sinners This train/ Carries losers and winners This Train/ Carries whores and gamblers This Train/ Carries lost souls This Train/ Dreams will not be thwarted This Train/ Faith will be rewarded This Train/ Hear the steel wheels singin' This Train/ Bells of freedom ringin' This Train/ Carries broken-hearted This Train/ Thieves and sweet souls departed This Train/ Carries fools and kings This Train/ All aboard This Train/ Dreams will not be thwarted This Train/ Faith will be rewarded This Train/ Hear the steel wheels singin' This Train/ Bells of freedom ringin" So you see, there are all different kinds of people in this song, and Bruce is saying that doesn't matter at all. What does matter is that we all live in this small world together, and we are all here together riding the train. I think one of the greatest parts of this song to me is in the end: "you don't need no ticket/ you just get on board/ *you just thank the Lord*". That's what he's saying is the key to riding this train (living)--thanking the Lord. He gave you your free pass, all you have to do in return is give Him your thanks. I used to have my religious doubts, but now, because of Springsteen, I have complete trust in God. Because of Bruce, I've become even more religious, my thoughts are a lot deeper, and I really appreciate life and all its elements. This is easily one of my favorite songs ever, and NOTHING compares to seeing it live. |

| It kind of sounds like it might be Soozie with her beautiful violin work, but I'm not sure | |
| Bruce Springsteen – Radio Nowhere Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Umm, excuse me, but when did he ever leave??!!! | |
| Bruce Springsteen – Radio Nowhere Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| Who the hell do you think you are? Sure, he can be crazy, but in the very best way possible. He is not at all hateful, and as a fact just the opposite. In his lyrics you can hear his love and passion, and wouldn't even think about doubting it. He strongly expresses what he believes in without shame and tries to make America really see what he is able to see. His beliefs have more logic than you will ever have, and even though he's now 64 I could have been fooled. He still looks/acts like he's 30-40, is in great shape, and completely defies age! Could you slide across a stage on your knees at 64?? I didn't think so, and I've personally witnessed seeing him do this live. I look up to Springsteen hoping to have the immense wisdom he has been fortunate to gain over the years, and just listening to him speak leaves me in awe. And don't EVER doubt that he's losing his touch, because he'll be writing impossibly incredible songs until the day he dies. NEVER INSULT THE BOSS, you just wish you could one day be as great of a person as he is. | |
| Bruce Springsteen – Mrs. McGrath [Live] Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I love this song, definitely my favorite from the Session Band. This song has been a traditional song in Ireland about a mother and how she regrets making the choice to send her son into war. The original version is slightly different of course, and I think any real fan of The Boss knows how he likes to alter lyrics to how he likes them to be. They're very minor, though, like instead of "the king of America" it was originally "the king of France". American patriotism, I guess. In all, I love this song, and it makes me really proud of my celtic roots. He did a great adaptation of the classic Irish folk song. | |
