American musician (1949- )
I was always concerned with, you know, the show is about this moment, it's about you, it's about tonight. This moment belongs to the people that are in the room, and that was my first and foremost concern. And anything that got in the way of that, I was against at the time.

There ain't a note that I play on stage that can't be traced back directly to my mother and father.

It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive.

"Badlands", Darkness on the Edge of Town
Well now you say you've found another man who does things to you that I can't,
And that no matter what I do it's all over now between me and you girl.
But I can't believe what you say;
No I can't believe what you say 'cause baby
I don't wanna fade away.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
"Fade Away", The River
Your success story is a bigger story than whatever you're trying to say on stage.

Q Magazine, August 1992
The times are tough now, just getting tougher.
This old world is rough, it's just getting rougher.
Cover me, come on baby, cover me.
Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
"Cover Me", Born in the U.S.A.
And she was blinded by the light. Cut loose like a deuce,
Another runner in the night. Blinded by the light.
She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
"Blinded by the Light"
Now I been out in the desert, just doin' my time.
Searchin' through the dust, lookin' for a sign.
If there's a light up ahead well brother I don't know.
But I got this fever burnin' in my soul.
So let's take the good times as they go,
And I'll meet you further on up the road.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
"Further On (Up the Road)", The Rising
Tonight our bed is cold;
I'm lost in the darkness of our love.
God have mercy on the man
Who doubts what he's sure of.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
"Brilliant Disguise", Tunnel of Love
You ride in a limousine the first time, it's a big thrill but after that it's just a stupid car.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Bruce Springsteen Talking
Can't see nothin' in front of me;
Can't see nothin' coming up behind.
I make my way through this darkness;
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me.
Lost track of how far I've gone,
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed.
On my back's a sixty pound stone,
On my shoulder a half mile line.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
"The Rising"
Better ask questions before you shoot,
Deceit and betrayal's bitter fruit.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
"Lonesome Day", The Rising
It's a fairytale so tragic,
There's no prince to break the spell.
I don't believe in magic,
But for you I will, for you I will.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
"Countin' on a Miracle", The Rising
