The studio version of this song is his first really good song in my opinion this is also if you liked this you should check out the live from Dublin version as well
couldn't agree more, it's so interesting to read diferent interpretations on whom he's singing about...i guess we'll never know... only adds to the mystique.
This is one of the most raw, emotional and beautiful versions of one of my favorites of his. Always gets me. I never thought his albums showcased his voice the same as how he performed them live.
I notice the views compared to the thumbs up and I can only come to one conclusion: The same people have been watching it at least one hundred times each. I know I am at the period where I must listen to it just 2-3 times a day now. I can't get enough of this tune and Lost in the Flood from this series.
Your right,I can't stop watching Bruce and The E Street Band,live at Hammersmith.With a good set of headphones.The sound mix is fantastic.The performance is Extraordinary. Bruce's voice was strong.The energy .Off the chain,so passionate and pure is this performance. Ad Clarence's powerful Sax solos and The sharp ass Suits and hats that he and Miami Steve are sporting,and the whole Band is sooo tight.Saw Bruce's River tour which was incredible. But this show might be The Best I've ever seen on video.Ever period hands down!
Just lost my husband in July and this is how he was for me. He would give me the world if he could have, it was all so sudden and it was a heart attack that took him. Someday my love I'll be with you again💔💔💔💔
This is Bruce laid bare to the bone. This is the ultimate 'we-broke-up-but-I-cant-let-you-go' song. With all the heartfelt sorrow, with all the pain, tears, every f*ckin' piece of pain in it. I think it is one of the few errors Bruce made to put this song in the band version on the album instead of this acoustic/piano version. This gives so much more power to the song. And i yet again proves Bruce to be an incredible, almost limitless musician. Breathtaking.
I’ve you’ve ever felt true joy and been truly in love, springsteen speaks to you… if you’ve ever been in true pain and experienced true heartbreak, springsteen speaks to you… no song exemplifies this more than For You
This 1975 Springsteen Hammersmith Show,which I am just now discovering. Is like a gift from the Gods.Best.concert I have ever seen on video masterful performance .The.Boss.Broke the Mold in 1975 !Now I understand the Time Magazine Cover saying.Ive seen the future of Rockn Roll and it's name is Bruce Springsteen. That could have been way too much hype to live up to for many artists.Bruce obviously surpassed those expectations.Its now 2024 andBruce just received a Medal of Honor from The Whitehouse for his outstanding contribution to American Music.Music and lyrics that have masterfully captured the American spirit
how lucky was the crowd to witness this concert? it's gotta be one of the greatest shows of all time. the performance of this song is absolutely masterful and just about brings me to tears every time i listen to it.
You are totally correct. I saw Bruce in August of '75, 3 months before this show and it was by far the BEST concert I'd ever been to. He was fairly unknown at the time and I only knew one song - Kitty's Back. The energy, the professionalism, even the perfect lighting changes when the tempo changed - WOW. I was blown away - his music was so different and fresh at the time, it's no wonder he quickly peaked!!!
@@blairmcgaughey9511 that's Amazing!! nice one on your behalf for attending the show. do you remember what made you go? thank you so much for sharing. If i could turn back time and only go to one concert it would most likely be this one!
This solo performance really made me realize what this song was truly about. We have all been there where a lost love simply broke your heart. This song brings us sadly back to those gut-wrenching feelings but, we are all older now, and can confront the feelings. Yes, it is better to have loved and lost…
This is one of my favorite Springsteen songs. This rendition is so wistful and filled with such genuine sadness. When I was in college, someone I knew well and who knew me very well, all my secrets, said this song reminded him of me. At that time, it was true., I was psychologically broken. This song gave me hope and still has formidable powers over me especially hearing it this version. So different from the recorded version. Ah, those were hard times....
It is as if Bruce is in his bedroom playing his new song about someone he loves very much. I hope you are doing really well now. This is not a bad song to relate to...
Little stuns me. This stuns me every time. And it's not even close to his best piano and vocal only performance of this brilliantly written song from his debut album.
Bruce, Thank you for this release. I have been waiting for a very long time. This is by far my favorite version. Original. And only the way you can sing it, with the feelings you had within yourself.
Wow all these years and I never really listened to his words to this song. I guess being a lot older am listening more to songs like this. Thanks Bruce
Holy mother. I know a lot of his songs but yes, just heard this for the first time. To my shame I only knew the Manfred Mann version. I need to lie down for a while. .......
unlike the original with piano slowed makes me this is not as much as the other in the "for you."When it was in it the speed race version from the album, his urgency to try to care/love urgency is always read as authentic.In this slow version it's really comes off as a lament of not of trying to help her while giving partial credit to her own self struggle while partially blaming her for the sickness she had.Maybe she left b/c of the partial/stood just of reach relationship he offered but het issues overcame.A song in slow tempo alas is a song of a young man still learning how to love and contributing to the demise of his love.He grew up by evidence of such songs like "wait for me."
Princess cards she sends me with her regards Barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted To her Cheshire smile. I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks." But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency And your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak Reveal yourself all now to me girl while you've got the strength to speak Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks But I could give it all to you now if only you could ask And don't call for your surgeon even he says it's too late It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate Don't give me money, honey, I don't want it back You and your pony face and your union jack Well take your local joker and teach him how to act I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound ? And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive You could laugh and cry in a single sound And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god ? You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek They ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me like a leech But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar Of some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shore So you, left to find a better reason than the one we were living for And it's not that nursery mouth I came back for It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor Cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors And who am I to ask you to lick my sores And you should know that's true... I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency And your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free

Be glad you lived in the time that Bruce lived... That you got to witness greatness.
Thanks for saying this. I feel the same way.
@@Hash2009 ciao hashim! Come stai? 🙋♀️🤩😘💋💗
You’re not kidding. I saw Bruce live a few years later, in early ‘78, in Philadelphia. He was astounding.
Greatest gig ever
His voice was so powerful at this stage of his career.
Beautiful song.
To me this is his most underrated song.
The studio version of this song is his first really good song in my opinion this is also if you liked this you should check out the live from Dublin version as well
No song has ever moved me as this one does. For more than 45 years it still takes me on such an emotional journey.

Heard this for the first time tonight. I died and was born right away. One of the greatest pieces of music ever.
@Captain slow Hey, gunner man, that's quicksand, that's quicksand that ain't mud ...
Just lost my husband in July and this is how he was for me. He would give me the world if he could have, it was all so sudden and it was a heart attack that took him. Someday my love I'll be with you again💔💔💔💔
So sorry Julie, may you find peace somehow.
@@sb1806 thank you very much, I hope to find peace but that will take time and God's help
Julie Johnson Yes, it will take time and God. And very loving memories. So sorry for your loss.♥️
So sorry for your loss...he will be always with you!
Julie Johnson condolences on your loss. Sounds like you were very much in love may Gods peace be with you!

Well said. They are two completely different songs and like many Dylan songs, I can't choose. Maybe, this version....(?)
It's about a suicide, or an attempted one.
@@hwyisalive emotional suicide
I’ve you’ve ever felt true joy and been truly in love, springsteen speaks to you… if you’ve ever been in true pain and experienced true heartbreak, springsteen speaks to you… no song exemplifies this more than For You
There are great songwriters, great musicians, great singers, and great live performers. There will never be anyone better at all four than Bruce.
This is the best version of For You,nothing comes close to that🙏
One can easily die from this thing...

Look up the word " underrated " RUclips moron.
100 percent
@@thomasmills339 why are you calling her a moron ?
Helen I agree with you !
Best version of this ever.
I was fortunate to see him in a small theater in the 70's. "Are you loose show"
This is one of my favorite Springsteen songs. This rendition is so wistful and filled with such genuine sadness.

You keep up the fight, like we all do. Everyone is a trauma victim. That's why we all need one another.
I just read the true story behind this song... makes it much more meaningful. Heartbreaking
Speechless
No words.....stunning.
I came to listen to this song after listening to the version of the song that was recorded in Dublin in the mid 2000s that is also good
Princess cards .. ❤
Lovingly emotional song that Bruce sings about a woman he truly loved and was broken hearted.
They both were.
An early classic from the great man
This song really rips the bones from your back , so strong and intime song
It's a suicide rap.
@stutombs5294 not a death trap?
Little stuns me. This stuns me every time. And it's not even close to his best piano and vocal only performance of this brilliantly written song from his debut album.
You can here so many of his future songs in this one.
Bruce,
Thank you for this release. I have been waiting for a very long time. This is by far my favorite version. Original. And only the way you can sing it, with the feelings you had within yourself.
My God .. how I love it!!
Epic. Just epic.
Absolutely top bananas
Simply amazing!!!
Such a beautiful heartbreaking song.
What a beautiful song, sung beautifully. Thank you for sharing.☝️
Capolavoro assoluto, la sua Voce è condita dal suono del pianoforte, una miscela che solo la È Street band può permettersi
Grazie Boss😍😍😍🙏🙏
This is perfection. So much emotions in this version. Bruce is indeed a great artist, one of the greatest. Thank you Boss for your music. ☺️
One of the best songs ever written in my opinion………..
Wow all these years and I never really listened to his words to this song. I guess being a lot older am listening more to songs like this. Thanks Bruce
all songs of Bruce can turn sad from joyful ...and return back too
70s Bruce is epic….no denying the talent here
I just love this. Wish to hear it live summer 23.
Now this is high-quality rock n roll uh music
this song is so killer oh my god
Sin palabras...La poesía hecha música.
What a lovely story so beautiful 🎸❤️ happy Christmas all ❤️
Happy Christmas for a year ago and also this one, admittedly 5 weeks late 🤗
Alltime great... he was so young back then but you always had the feeling he could put everything he had in one song ☺
L'intensità di un giovane Artista agli albori di una carriera LEGGENDARIA...GRAZIE BRUCE!
This song could be about a time in my life.
My god this is amazing
Close my eyes and listen :) so beautyful :))) merciii for loading :)))
Bar room eyes shine vacancy. cool!!!
“When it was my turn to be the guuuuuy!” God that part gives me the craziest goosebumps.
"When it was my turn to be the God." per Bruce Springsteen's official website.

Probably my favorite version of the song

amazing. One of my favourites. Soooo beautyful. Thank you. ♥♥♥ breathtaking .
Non conoscevo questo capolavoro....Mio Dio quanto è bella....h.22.49
wow Beautiful!
Hi love his music and his voice always have done..
Didn't know Bruce played piano, learn something new everyday
You can check "The Promise" (NY 2000), "Incident on 57th Street" (Barcelona 2002) & the 1990 Cristic shows!
Bruce has played piano from the first album Greetings From Asbury Park 1973.
@@Bluesbabesrv I grew up in the mtv generation, I guess most of the videos he was always playing a guitar. Thanks for the info cheers!
He wrote all of born to run album on piano, I believe
See the live version of Spirit in the Night from LA in 1973 with Bruce on the piano and Mad Dog Lopez on the drums. Amazing.
I think I finally understand this song after listening to this version.
Que bonita 🇦🇷!! No dudo que es mucho 😘 corazón.
Manfred Mann🤩 Bruce Springsteen 😍
Incredible ❤
Thank you Bruce love thiis
Man, that was really good
Sir, you are a marvelous example of the art of understatement. :)
Thanks for posting, a masterpiece...
I Love you Bruce. ❤️
Holy mother. I know a lot of his songs but yes, just heard this for the first time. To my shame I only knew the Manfred Mann version. I need to lie down for a while. .......
Vorrei proprio conoscere quei 5 pollici in giù x capire come sia possibile...BRUCE IS A LEGEND!
To see Bruce in this video "you gotta look hard"
I've tried harder and harder to see him, but nothing doing 😜we have to settle to listen to his voice!

Princess cards she sends me with her regards
Barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her Cheshire smile. I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted
But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts
Honey, get your carpetbaggers off my back
You wouldn't even give me time to cover my tracks
You said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks."
But they're not what I came for, and I'm sure you see that too
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free
Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
Reveal yourself all now to me girl while you've got the strength to speak
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now if only you could ask
And don't call for your surgeon even he says it's too late
It's not your lungs this time, it's your heart that holds your fate
Don't give me money, honey, I don't want it back
You and your pony face and your union jack
Well take your local joker and teach him how to act
I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked
Didn't you think I knew that you were born with the power of a locomotive
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound ?
And your Chelsea suicide with no apparent motive
You could laugh and cry in a single sound
And your strength is devastating in the face of all these odds
Remember how I kept you waiting when it was my turn to be the god ?
You were not quite half so proud when I found you broken on the beach
Remember how I poured salt on your tongue and hung just out of reach
And the band they played the homecoming theme as I caressed your cheek
They ragged, jagged melody she still clings to me like a leech
But that medal you wore on your chest always got in the way
Like a little girl with a trophy so soft to buy her way
We were both hitchhikers but you had your ear tuned to the roar
Of some metal-tempered engine on an alien, distant shore
So you, left to find a better reason than the one we were living for
And it's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
Cause I've broken all your windows and I've rammed through all your doors
And who am I to ask you to lick my sores
And you should know that's true...
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but you did not need my urgency
I came for you, for you, I came for you, but your life was one long emergency
And your cloud line urges me, and my electric surges free
You will never know how grateful I am for this comment :)
X fortuna ci sei tu ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Te amo meu amor, meu namorado @springsteen ♥!
