    Actually, this is one of the deepests and emotional songs of Bruce. The lyrics are almost a cry for help.

    John's voice is beautiful enough to make grown man cry.
    That has to be one of the best remakes of a song I've ever heard

    You know for a talk show Howard sure gets some great music performances.

      He should have a separate show devoted to music - but doubt that will happen, he's busy enough.

      the studio is world class for audio recording too. These live performances have better quality than some studio albums

      he pretty much created the whole acoustic genre of bands just playing in the 80s. What's even more amazing is most of these are before 9am

    I...... never actually understood the lyrics till I heard this version. I never thought this song could make me feel sad, like a beautiful sadness, but still sad.

    I will always love Bruce Springsteen's original. With that said, John Legend's cover is AMAZING!

  • @arned2493

    Only an artist of magnitude can make something perfect even more beautiful; a proper homage to the The Boss. John Legend is already legendary.

    • @tarawillis3995

      magnitude no one can name shit from him. lets be honest

  • @murraywestenskow2896
    @murraywestenskow2896 Před 3 lety +102

    What struck me the most - was how Legend brought the inner feel of the song out. Dancing in the Dark is a great song. John just proved it. While we're at it - have there ever been more poignant lyrics that have resonated with so many people - as - _I want to change my clothes, my hair, my face._ Incredible insight - in the middle of a song.

    @11thStreetKid Před 5 lety +50

    Massive Springsteen fanatic here. I knew John before this but I never have listened to him more. What a talent I must say. This was awesome, no one can top Bruce’s original version but this is great.

    When he said " my Springsteen friends" I felt so jealous. I wish I had Springsteen friends so there could be someone to understand my massive musical crush for him. :(

  • @dannyfisher8382

    Ah man. John Legend is as appropriate a name for an artist as it gets. He made it his own, without completely changing the soul of the song. The mark of a true of a true artist.
