    The original was released in 1975 with his band. Maybe in general look for the earliest performances of a song for an appreciation of its original impact. This is more like a nostalgic trip for those already familiar with the artist/song.

    I quite like this version as well, stripped back and it feels like it suits him now: an old man looking back on his youth. But I say that as someone who listened to the original version with all the power and energy that had, 40+ years ago when I was a teen, and I felt I really was Born to Run, rather than walking with a stick like I do now!

    Brit, you’re on to something. The song seems to be about the disenfranchised, the disenchanted, the downhearted. The disillusionment with the American dream. Yet, it seems, in the end, the song encourages one to find a way to move forward while keeping the faith that a better day is indeed out there. “And we’ll walk in the sun”

  • @evanmeiner7240
    @evanmeiner7240 Год назад +3

    Don’t listen to the fools saying Bruce is a tired old rock star who can’t rock anymore. I saw him live 6 days ago and he played 3 hours of ass kicking rock including the full band born to run. I’ve been seeing him since 1984 and the first time he played the song this way was in 1988; when he was 38 and the song was 15 years old. He explained about the song before singing it slow as such, (Paraphrasing)“ when I wrote this song I was 23 years old and I guess it was about a guy and a girl who wanted to run away from this dead end town and keep on running, which was a romantic idea I guess. But songs can change with time and I guess that couple were really running away to find something; a place to fit, to settle down and I guess they were searching for connection, because without a place to call home, and connection to other people the freedom to run isn’t worth much”. So Bruce was not an old man when he first sang it this was; he was a 38 year old reinterpreting the greatest song ever written to reflect where he was at that point in his life. Bruce is an artist and I agree, this song with the band is one of the greatest ever written. However, when taken in context this song is pretty great too, especially if your in your late 30s. I suggest listening to born to run from the album then relistening to this version from may 1988 at Madison square garden with intro. It’s easy to find on you tube. A great song can be played in more than one way!

    Guys , he didn't do this as an acoustic recently because he's older, an acoustic version of this song was re-done and performed as far back as 1985. Like a good few of his earlier songs it is about a young man who knows he needs to leave the town he's from and go to where there is a chance of a better life. I once listened to an interview with him and he explained that his albums up to and including "Tunnel of Love" could be viewed as being about the same guy. Not autobiographical necessarily although there's no doubt that the album Tunnel of Love was definitely about his life. But songs like Thunder Road, 4th July from Asbury Park and Born to Run are all about a guy wanting to leave and take his girl with him. Bruce has done acoustic versions of a lot of his songs , the best is Born in the USA and it brings home its powerful message so much better than the original. The original Born to Run is sensational of course but there's an acoustic version of Born to Run on a Mini Album (EP for those as old as me) I have from the 80's along with Chimes of Freedom and Born in The USA. So it's not a new concept, remember also this is an appearence on a TV show. He couldn't really do the normal version with the E-Steet Band etc!

  • @markbrooks8144

  • @steveperkins8748
    @steveperkins8748 Год назад +5

    This song was dialed back to acoustic for Jon Stewart , but this is the state Anthem of New Jersey where both Bruce and Jon were borna and raised. Lyrically it one of the most brilliant rock and roll bangers ever written and is the official Anthem of New Jersey where both Bruce and Jon were born and raised. Lyrically it one of the most brilliant rock and roll bangers ever written. The song is really about the chasm between the lives we want and the lives we typically lead. It is really about current desperation and undying hope that we can escape where we are to some greater place. It is staple for Springsteen fans and a theme he comes back to again and again. In a concert setting Bruce is backed by a 19 member band known as E Street. and Born to run is a completely different vibe. Try live versions of Land of Hopes and, Dreams; Jungleland, Thunder Road and The Promised Land

    To someone who has never heard this song (Britt for example), you don’t really get a feel for what this song really was like. This version is ok for fans who will appreciate Bruce’s reinterpretation in an intimate setting but you need to first listen to either the original studio version or any live rendition, because this song is a rocker but you just can’t tell it from this. It’s hard to even pull out the original melody from this.

    I it’s OK to be confused on the song. Bruce is trying to make something new of an old song. He’s a 60 year old man singing a song that he wrote when he was 20. It’s about the angst and uncertainty of the future when you’re a teenager living in a shit hole town.

  • @markcastrovinci6074

    The album version came with all the lyrics printed in the gatefold. You need to listen to the original the way all of the kids of this era, of the seventies, did which is sitting on the floor of your bedroom reading the lyrics along with the song playing.
    He conveys such an accurate feeling of what it is like growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in a New Jersey shore town where there is a sense of wanting and cars, romance and the Jersey shore atmosphere are a way of life for a certain breed of teenage kids.
    Plus the full band arrangement of the song is so moving, inspirational and dynamic. I don’t know why he would ever do this droll acoustic version in the first place.

    • @markcastrovinci6074
      @markcastrovinci6074 Год назад

      Actually, you should sit down on your bedroom floor and listen to the whole album while reading the lyrics. There are several songs that just beautifully capture the atmosphere of the Jersey Shore and teenage youth from back then:
      * Thunder Road (which to me is one of the greatest songs ever written)
      * Backstreets
      * Meeting Across The River
      and
      * Jungleland
      Such a fabulous album
