    Melissa/Missy and I were friends, in Leavenworth, when we were both 15. We were in the same performance group, the same youth group, and we were did "Godspell" together - she played lead-guitar, and I played the "floozy" character ... SO much fun! We knew, then, that she was going places. I got to see her again, 3 years ago, when she played at the Oregon State Fair ... I got to invite several of my children to meet back-stage, prior to the show. She's as real as she seems to be. Pure gold heart.

This is a song about youth and the great journey ahead but as an older man, it is also about the journey taken and just how special it is to have such a gorgeous song to bookend a life well lived.

    I have a 7 yr old daughter. Her mother, my wife, sings to her each night as she falls asleep. My wife went on a business trip, so I was obviously put in charge of getting my daughter to bed. For three consecutive nights I softly sang "Thunder Road" in its entirety to my daughter as she slowly fell asleep.
    When my wife returned from her trip, the first morning back while eating breakfast, my wife asked my daughter "Did Daddy sing to you at night to help you fall asleep?"
    My daughter replied;
    "No". He read some poem about a girl named Mary who wanted to run away from home because she wasn't happy and thought it would be better somewhere else"
    A 7 yrs old's interpretation of "Thunder Road".
    Brought a tear to my eye, but that's exactly what it is ...poetry.

      There are a couple of even more, equally meaningful lines in this song.
      They paint a full canvas of the tremendious diverse and challenging life - the American/western life-style, a structure, I can still identify with today. They are about all the Drama, risks, courage, desires and determination, that does envelope itself tightly around the tough process of 'growing up and making a living in small-town US'.
      Its one more powerful ballade by Springsteen - - - texting about rather sad and desperate scenes, --> but in the end these songs rather seem to empower us more and accept that struggle and take up the challenge ... its ".. no time for loosers we pulling out to win!"
      It s indeed a song from a different time - no 'woke wise-cracking' or 'stylish Tik-Tok show off' come here into play. Rather leave me behind with a sad nostalgic feeling of the old times of 🎵"Those were the Days of '69 🎵". 😢

Bruce came out alone with his acoustic guitar for the 2nd encore and played this song. Just Bruce and 65,000 fans, yet it felt like he was singing this song only to each an every one of us.

      Melissa tells a story about that line in one of her CZcams videos. She specifically asked Bruce if she could sing that line as she had just come out and thought the line was symbolic. Bruce agreed, but then during the first take, which was perfect, she forgot to come in, so they had to re-record the song. If you watch the video, she almost forgets to come in again, and Bruce looks at her and smiles, and then she leans over and makes a comment about how she almost messed up again.

      @peibouls Před 2 lety +2

      @@robbbbbie12 she actually forgets in this version too, but realizes it when he looks at her. She comes in late, and he holds the chord (I don’t know what note it is) until the word “climb”, where he changes notes again. I think the emphasis when he changes is his reaction a la “that’s it”. In my opinion, that actually makes this even better, because it shows two masters making music in real time. It’s those small hiccups that make live music awesome!

    Bruce write songs with lyrics that have something to say about the human condition, about the roller coaster life can be, he’s more then a musician and troubadour he’s a poet although he’s to humble to admit, like Bob he also deserves a Nobel prize.
