It's just so beautiful. Since my first Springsteen concert in 1988 at the age of 15, I've admired him (often at the amusement of my friends) for the emotions he stirs as an influential writer, musician, performer and as a supporter of human rights causes. Being female there is another obvious attraction, but it's the voice, the feeling and passion of his songs. Being a fan of gravelly-voiced singers, this ethereal song took me quite by surprise. His ability to maintain that high pitch is amazing and the song is so sorrowful yet incredibly uplifting as though you are floating on air. I think the lyric sounds like "I'll follow you" but "I'll fall with you" may be alluding to the rejection of tradition i.e. marriage in favour of a falling into a more 'sinful' life....just a thought :0)
