Cover art for Streets of Fire lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

Very cool song.

Intense singing over music that's slow but still rocks hard.

The Michael Pare movie "Streets of Fire" was originally made with the idea of casting Springsteen in the lead role. Bruce had (has) no interest in movie acting and immediately declined. My guess is this song would have been used if he accepted.
