Thanks Adele where ever you are you bought that guitar that not only change one life but the life of thousand and thousand people in every single part of the world!Rip !
His "throw-away" songs, ones that never made it to an album are better than most singer/songwriters best work. ("The Wish," was eventually on Tracks (1998), a four CD compilation that included 66 songs.) His mother must be very, very proud. He took her to the Academy Awards when he won, Best Original Song, for "Streets of Philadelphia," but his Dad, who *very* strongly discouraged him from a career as a muscian, stayed home. When they returned, his father said, finally, "OK, I was wrong."
Such a personal song, but everyone can connect with it. As already said, a song that never made it to an album, but still better than most songs released now. If you can fit that much emotion into a discard song, you know it's a work of a genius.
Damn you Bruce Springsteen!!! Making me cry in the middle of a weekday morning! At least I'm home alone where no one can see. And how young he sounded compared to now.
Bruce is Very special and close to my heart as I grew up THE SAME TIME as he was only 38 miles away to the east because Freehold is a straight line due east from Trenton ! His word pictures are my childhood ! He is THE sound of New Jersey in the 60s and 70s !
I've been to New Jersey. I LIKE New Jersey! I can see why its called the Garden State. We were there from Canada for a wedding. It was one of the most remarkable times I had.
"If pay's eyes were the windows into a world so deadly and true, you couldn't stop me from looking, but you kept me from crawlin' through"...WOW! Legendary rocky relationship with his Dad...he said it has led to so much fodder for his lyrics. If he'd had a great relationship, "What would I write about?" As they reconciled, he asked Dad which songs he liked best..."The ones about me!"
yes I do love Mr. bruce springsteen and this is a lovely song I only just heard. I heard his mom put his guitar on lay away, back when they had that. best fellow Springsteen fans, keep the faith
LMAOF...there's simply no better song writer. He's a better piano player than guitar player! So much talent bestowed upon one person and inspired by the great Elvis. Thank you God for giving us another great singer, song writer performer.
Bruce learned the piano before he learned the guitar. He has also written many of his greatest songs from the piano. All the songs on Born to Run were written from the piano.
ONce read that when he put the Oscar on the table, his Dad said, "I'll never tell anyone what to do again". Bruce has said that as a father, he understands his Dad's feelings about his choice of careers...no stability or guarantee....

RIP Mrs. Springsteen... I just cried as I remembered bringing my mom to see Bruce when I was in high school... One of my most precious memories
Rest in Peace Mrs Springsteen.
Thank you for your son. ❤
Love this song. His love for his mother shines through in this song. Thanks Bruce.
I love this man, and I love that he had/has such love in his life
Adele was an angel on earth and is a real angel now. May she rest in peace.
Just the best! Beautiful!!! God bless all mothers and bless you Bruce
Rest easy sweet Adele 💔
Thanks Adele where ever you are you bought that guitar that not only change one life but the life of thousand and thousand people in every single part of the world!Rip !
RIP Adele Springsteen.....you were some lady.
His "throw-away" songs, ones that never made it to an album are better than most singer/songwriters best work. ("The Wish," was eventually on Tracks (1998), a four CD compilation that included 66 songs.)
His mother must be very, very proud.

When they returned, his father said, finally, "OK, I was wrong."
Actually (according to Bruce's memoir) what Bruce's dad said when he saw him after winning the Oscar was "I'll never tell anyone what to do again".
A hidden gem., I love this man and his music that he brought us................

Bruce, run for President please. For your family, for your town, for Freehold, for America. America needs you Bruce!!!
" If pa's eyes were windows into a world so deadly and true, you couldn't stop me from looking but you kept me from crawling through"

Outstanding
I had no idea the boss could play the piano. He’s a bloody legend!
watch springsteen on Broadway
He wrote most of the music of Born To Run on piano.
Bruce learned the piano before he learned the guitar. He has also written many of his greatest songs from the piano. All the songs on Born to Run were written from the piano.
ONce read that when he put the Oscar on the table, his Dad said, "I'll never tell anyone what to do again". Bruce has said that as a father, he understands his Dad's feelings about his choice of careers...no stability or guarantee....
Wow, she sounds like an amazing, wise and grounded woman. Mmmmmm mmmmm.
Thanks
Bellissima e dolcissima dedic alla mamma!!😅😅😍😍😍🎸😘🎶💗💋
wow!
"take that professor Roy Bittan" Bruce's long time piano player
❤
Omfg, what a song. Who is this guy and how does he know these things?
take that, Professor Roy Bittan...
that would be helpful on other videos, but NOBODY skips a springsteen speech
Song begins at 1:27
hey really interesting ty
Calle vieja y sucia toda derretida bajo la lluvia y la nieve
Dirty old street all slushed up in the rain and snow
Un niño pequeño y su mamá temblando afuera de la ventana de una tienda de música deteriorada
Little boy and his ma shivering outside a rundown music store window
Esa noche en lo alto de un árbol de Navidad brilla una hermosa estrella
That night on top of a Christmas tree shines one beautiful star
Y acostado debajo de una nueva guitarra japonesa
And lying underneath a brand-new Japanese guitar
Recuerdo en la mañana, ma, escuchar sonar tu despertador
I remember in the morning, ma, hearing your alarm clock ring
Me acostaría en la cama y escucharía cómo te preparas para el trabajo
I'd lie in bed and listen to you gettin' ready for work
El sonido de tu estuche de maquillaje en el fregadero.
The sound of your makeup case on the sink
Y las damas en la oficina, todo lápiz labial, perfume y faldas susurrantes
And the ladies at the office, all lipstick, perfume and rustlin' skirts
Y que orgullosa y feliz siempre te veías caminando a casa del trabajo
And how proud and happy you always looked walking home from work
Si los ojos de papá fueran ventanas a un mundo tan mortal y verdadero
If pa's eyes were windows into a world so deadly and true
No pudiste evitar que mirara, pero evitaste que me arrastrara
You couldn't stop me from looking but you kept me from crawlin' through
Y si es un viejo mundo divertido, mamá, donde los deseos de un niño pequeño se hacen realidad
And if it's a funny old world, mama, where a little boy's wishes come true
Bueno, tengo algunos en mi bolsillo y uno especial solo para ti.
Well I got a few in my pocket and a special one just for you
No es una llamada telefónica el domingo, flores o una tarjeta del día de la madre.
It ain't no phone call on Sunday, flowers or a mother's day card
No es una casa en una colina con un jardín y un pequeño patio agradable
It ain't no house on a hill with a garden and a nice little yard
Tengo mi coche de carreras en Bond Street, soy mayor pero me conocerás de un vistazo
I got my hot rod down on Bond Street, I'm older but you'll know me in a glance
Nos buscaremos un pequeño bar de rock 'n roll y bebé saldremos a bailar
We'll find us a little rock 'n roll bar and baby we'll go out and dance
Bueno, fui yo con mis botas Beatle, tú con rulos rosas y pantalones de matador
Well it was me in my Beatle boots, you in pink curlers and matador pants
Levantándome en el sofá para hacer el giro para mis tíos y tías
Pullin' me up on the couch to do the twist for my uncles and aunts
Bueno, encontré una chica propia ahora, mamá, hice la pregunta en tu cumpleaños
Well I found a girl of my own now, ma, I popped the question on your birthday
Se quedó esperando en el porche delantero mientras me decías que saliera.
She stood waiting on the front porch while you were telling me to get out there
Y decir qué era lo que tenía que decir
And say what it was that I had to say
Anoche todos nos sentamos a reír de las cosas que nos trajo la guitarra
Last night we all sat around laughing at the things that guitar brought us
Y me quedé despierto pensando en las otras cosas que nos ha traído
And I laid awake thinking 'bout the other things it's brought us
Bueno, esta noche estoy tomando las solicitudes aquí en la cocina.
Well tonight I'm takin's requests here in the kitchen
Este es para ti, mamá, déjame salir y decirlo
This one's for you, ma, let me come right out and say it
Está atrasado, pero cariño, si estás buscando una canción triste, bueno, no la voy a tocar.
It's overdue, but baby, if you're looking for a sad song, well I ain't gonna play it
This is a song about his mother taking out a 60 dollar bank loan. To buy her boy a electric guitar.
It's a LOT more than that.
does anyone know what he says at the end? thanks
and thanks for posting the intro was great
Take that, professor Roy Bittan
Sorry boss...you played a sad song without intending.
