      I grew up listening to born in the u.s.a and tunnel of love they got me through those tough teenage years of the bedroom rebel ..heard a few more albums then that just didnt gel with me... but then a bit later on heard darkness on the edge of town and i agree definitely one of if not the best. I must listen to samurai? If its as good as they say.....everyones a winner ;0)

    As a kid I enjoyed Darkness. The music and the intensity of Bruce's vocals. I turned 50 this year. Now I "understand" Darkness. Where the intensity came from. The desperation. Longing for hope. Thanks Bruce for writing the soundtrack of our life.

    Bruce has said that he feels this is as good as any song he has ever written. For many years it was assumed to be the last song written for Darkness, but it was actually first cut early on in the sessions. The version on record didn't get recorded until later, but the song had been written before the band stepped into the studio in June 1977.

    Bruce has been my favorite artist for most of my life and I've always felt this song and album are underrated. Like, this is a top 10 Bruce song as far as I'm concerned! That said, I just found this version for the first time and wow it was incredible. He puts so much passion into every line. He takes his responsibility on delivering 110% every time he performs like MJ trying to score 30 every night knowing there were people in the arena who had never seen him play live before. Gracious, this is just the type of song and performance that makes you feel all sorts of feels!

      I listen to it specifically when I am feeling low. It has helped when I have had my recurring depressions. It gives me strength and hope. Over and over again. What I didn't notice when I was young - maybe the song character either - that it wasn't a courageous one-time-only journey, but something that has to repeated, and even though the issues may not drag one down, it may still be more like dragging through than marching through. There "dreams are found and lost", not all of them will ever come true, however hard we try. And that is something to contemplate and make peace with. Absolutely love this song.

      @@worldapart90 agreed, in fact I couldn’t agree more. It exercises my demons when I’m low. It helps you work through, rather than avoid the darkness. You can’t deny pain. Bruce helps bring us together, find unity and love in the pain that is our inherent to our existence. Darkness is a gift. Idk what I’d do without bittersweet music. It’s saved my life.

    I believe this was done without an audience. They had to get friends and family to make up audience. I saw an interview when they asked him how does it feel to sing without an audience. His reply was if you can feel it in your heart you can perform it. These recordings have a special place for me. They are all sublime.

    The band was mourning the death of Daniel Federici (keyboardist)
    (January 23, 1950 - April 17, 2008)
    Everyone dressed in black,
    This was in honor of him.
    This was his fav album.
    Danny was best known as the organ, and accordion player and a founding member.
    Proceeds from this screening are donated to the Danny Fund/Melanoma Research Alliance - a non-profit foundation devoted to advancing melanoma research and awareness set up after the 2008 passing of Danny Federici, longtime Springsteen friend and E-Street Band member.

    Well, they're still racing out at the Trestles
    But that blood it never burned in her veins
    Now I hear she's got a house up in Fairview
    And a style she's trying to maintain
    Well, if she wants to see me
    You can tell her that I'm easily found
    Tell her there's a spot out 'neath Abram's Bridge
    And tell her there's a darkness on the edge of town
    There's a darkness on the edge of town
    Well, everybody's got a secret, Sonny
    Something that they just can't face
    Some folks spend their whole lives trying to keep it
    They carry it with them every step that they take
    Till some day they just cut it loose
    Cut it loose or let it drag 'em down
    Where no one asks any questions
    Or looks too long in your face
    In the darkness on the edge of town
    In the darkness on the edge of town
    Well, now some folks are born into a good life
    And other folks get it anyway anyhow
    Well, I lost my money and I lost my wife
    Them things don't seem to matter much to me now
    Tonight I'll be on that hill 'cause I can't stop
    I'll be on that hill with everything I've got
    Well, lives on the line where dreams are found and lost
    I'll be there on time and I'll pay the cost
    For wanting things that can only be found
    In the darkness on the edge of town
    In the darkness on the edge of town
