    I was 16, and had just dropped my first girlfriend off at home. To put it bluntly, I wanted her in a bad way. While driving home that summer night with the windows down, this song came on the radio. It was the first time a song read my soul. Now, I'm almost 50, and that girlfriend is my wife. This song takes me back to that night, with that same feeling every time I hear it.

My sister and I went to the graveside last fall and I was telling him how much I missed him singing that song to me. Well we get to the gas station she and my 5 year old nephew go in the store and I turn the xm radio 6 channel 20 and it's Bruce Springsteen and the E street band station and this song came on and played from start to finish❤ I know you are there always my Bill xoxo

    This song is about wanting something you can't have. The song is short, and you want more of it, but can't have it, which is why you love it. The song is not too short, it's just right. If it was any longer, it would kill your desire. Sometimes, wanting something is better than having it. If we had it, we'd just fk it up anyway. You know you would. There are things in this world that are better off without us.

      Fain, nossa colega gringa ali em cima, disse que essa musica é machista. Mas não só... a belezinha da musica também faz uma alusão a pedofilia, pelo menos é o que se entende quando ele diz "Hey little girl is you dady home? Did he go and leave you all alone? I got a bad desire, I'm on fire" ele literalmente diz "Ei pequena menina, seu papai (no sentigo de sugar dady, que é cara mais velho, rico que fica com mulheres mais novas) esta em casa? Ele foi embora e a deixou sozinha? Eu tenho um desejo mau/ruim/, estou em chamas/excitado" querendo dizer que esta sexualmente atraido por essa pequena menina!

    I respect Springsteen's lack of vanity. Most musicians try so hard to look so damn sexy, cool or god-like in all their videos. He's always a mechanic covered in grease or a lonely man in a pub. It makes him feel so human.

    • @theoriginalbillholt
      @theoriginalbillholt Před 7 lety +4

      Yes and no, in my opinion. ; ] The crappy warble when the song begins is just as if you're listening to this on a tape deck in a car back in the '80s. However, in all fairness, I'm sure that wasn't in the original release. VEVO left awful production blunders in other videos, too. Cinderella's "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" comes to mind, with a squelch at its 3:57 mark -- right in the middle of the song's arguably best part, which is, again arguably, one of the nicest guitar solos of the '80s.
      The foley work here is shoddy, but I don't mean to nitpick. The white-clad wonder woman's voice has a different reverb characteristic because it wasn't recorded on the spot in the scene. The keys falling into Bruce's hand don't sound 'correct' either. Those two examples of substandard editing could surely have been remedied back then, but there are also many sound effects in more modern productions which I opine could have been done better.
      What I see as timelessly great is the overall genuine artfulness of the production, which I believe is another way of saying what you've said. The decision to build tension with the riveting moment where viewers realize they aren't going to see the woman's face is a hallmark of artistry. Great video, as it captures the essence of the song.
      There were lackluster videos back in the '80s, just as there are today. "I'm On Fire" stands apart because it has substance and character, hinting at a dark subject with an element of decorum, or at least basic decency, which 'art' and life seem to glaringly lack today.

    • @troemich
      @troemich Před 7 lety +1

      There`s also the bouncy picture at the beginning. Looks like Telecine Wobble. Watched the same video somewhere else and it`s not happening there. So VEVO screwed something up during the transfer from the film reels. Or somebody else did and VEVO just uploaded it for promotional purposes.

    so, i grew up in the 80's, my childhood was 79-97. My music was was mainly Cure/Joy Division. I was thinking about this song today, and how i wouldnt dare tell my friends i like springstein. i figure 25-30 years later i can like it, playing through my head everyonce and a while for that long. I sit down with an acoustic guitar today, to finally play this, with in two tries i had it down, beautiful muted rhythm and vocals. right away, its a natural, cool song. wife loved it. if you play an instrument, play this for youre girl tonight, you have no idea how it pays off. if i did this decades ago, would have lost virginity that much sooner. cheers.

      And it does seem like all genres of music from back then flow together more these days, it can ALL get lumped into just being called "80s music" now. I mean everyone who grew up then is in their 40s, so of course it's not gonna be as cliquey and genre specific as when the fans were 14. Plus people's tastes also can mature with age. There's 80s metalheads who now admit they like Madonna and stuff.

    LYRICS
    Hey little girl, is your daddy home?
    Did he go and leave you all alone? Mhmm
    I got a bad desire
    Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
    Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
    And can he do to you the things that I do? Oh no
    I can take you higher
    Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
    Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby
    Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley
    Through the middle of my skull
    At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
    And a freight train running through the middle of my head
    Only you can cool my desire
    Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
    Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire
    Oh, oh, oh, I'm on fire

    I told I can't explain in words, so i played this song. My mom started crying. Then I learned my dad played this song for my mom when they dated.
    My dad passed 3 years prior.

We knew we were on fire and it was not possible, never said a word about it, never touched, but we knew... I moved to a different city... years later he wrote to me that he was divorced and had dreamt about me so many nights. I was married and pregnant with my first child.

    I remember back to when those PMRC people were criticizing these lyrics. They were saying it was promoting stalking and violence, which was total BS. To me, the music is about loneliness and the walls we erect between us that perpetuates it. Also, the video could be about happiness. She lives a privileged life with lots of wealth, but are you happy? The song says it all. He was expressing how he felt, not suggesting any specific action. Absolute masterpiece of a song.

    Was 14 when this song came out. He came to Dallas, on his 1986 tour, and played at the Cotton Bowl. Hottest tickets in town, so those who didn’t have tix had to listen from outside the concert, atop their cars, enjoying the beautiful night. School had just started and the weather was barely cooling down a tad bit. When he performed this song, it was the first time I took notice of the neon colored Nations Bank building, that had just been completed, and how beautiful it made the Dallas skyline look. When this video came out, I was just as much in awe of how much was said with so few words.

    She was 19 and out of my league, and she had a boyfriend. I knew her for 3 weeks thanks to our mutual friends. We never talked to much but we would always give each other silly looks...
    There was a students' party of a kind...
    I was 22 and pretty shy but managed to have a nice conversation with her that night. I didn't expect anything to happen... Later that night she asked me to escort her to her dorm not far away. We were in her room, and this was one of the songs she had on her mp3 CD.
    We did not kiss or anything. She called me tomorrow to tell me she broke up with her boyfriend....
    I was surprised and my ego was high as the sky, I did not expect that.
    We were crazy for each other for five months and then she broke up when she had to return to her hometown.
    19 years later, a year ago, I see her with her daughter (probably 6), I was with my son (9) and she gave me that same silly smile and we said not a word to each other.

    This was the song that made me start paying attention to Springsteen. This would have been years after it came out, on VH1 or something like that.

    Crazy how his “whoohooo” at the end represents the trains whistle that was “running through my head” while the beat of the song is the train running on tracks

    I think that the feeling that some people feel when listening to this song comes from the fact that the song has some reminiscence of the nostalgia that hurts the most, the one of what could have been, but never was. And in this case it was "complicated" for something to happen, it was better to leave the key and go and think what could have happened. I think the song brings us something of the perfume of our own youth and what we could have done and everything that happened, that's why a knot forms in our stomach, because we realize the finitude of our own life.
    The song has something of the sadness of Tango.

      I so agree with you. I can lay back close my eyes turn volume up, then, like magic im there again. I believe that music has the ability to transcend any situation and culture.
      so many blessings to you
      with love from Elle in England xx

    I love that pitch-warble on the organ - reminds me of the good ol' days of compact cassette tapes :)
