I grew up where Bruce grew up( he' older) that being said he never left NJ granted a bigger house. He still pops in to the local bars quite often, he is down to earth a good man. His kids go to school with local kids. He's married to Patti over 30 years. He is special. I saw him concert a while ago in a jammed packed stadium. He gives it all and more. Over 3 hours of greatness, he loves his fans and boy do they love him. Love his early work. 🎵✌️🎶💜

"Racing In The Street" is a great track from "Darkness On The Edge Of Town", a great follow up to " Born To Run". Springsteen is one of the greatest artists of all-time, and the best in the past 50 years.

Greetings again from Canada, eh!! The "Professor" Roy Bittan on the piano!!! When performed live, this song has about a 5 minute jam at the end, you hear it begin here in the studio, they build on it and build on it and it is one of the most beautiful instrumental jams you will hear. My Lady fiend and I would just dance away to it time and time again. There are a couple great live versions online, especially the one from the Paramount theatre. Great reaction, and, again, Rock On!!

Bruce would never or has ever written about suicide as an option. Not that I know of anyway. It’s more like you first thought. It’s a metaphor to go to the sea and wash their sins away. Like when you’re babtized. This is the tour I first saw him on. The winter of 78/79. It was a case of going to church and being reborn. It was that intense. Oh, and don’t forget Danny Federici on organ. This is possibly his best piece of work. Another great reaction for another great artist.

Racing in the streets in Asbury Park, NJ back in the 60' and 70's was a common thing at street lights on Kingsley Ave. That's where Bruce hung out and formed his bands. I think this is a story about being cool as a young person, racing cars, machismo, getting the girl...etc. But, as we grow older, that chosen life isn't sustainable form security and happiness. Age reveals a hardness and regret..little else. I could be wrong but thats always been my interpretation.

Springsteen has a way of making me feel whatever the person in the story is feeling.Bravo!

One of the things I love about this song is how it compares to some many male POV songs, where "she" just "doesn't get him", how SHE made him feel bad, etc. Here, however, the guy telling us his story is able to stop for a moment, and see HER perspective, how SHE is just as broken over dead dreams as he is. Wonderful storytelling.

Interesting to hear this again...and my first thought was how this tune was such a welcome reprieve during Bruce's marathon high energy concerts..."back in the day". The universal theme of the struggle for meaning in life and how we define ourselves in our existence run throughout most Springsteen lyrics. Combined with seemingly everyday or common and relatable emotions, interpretation is then individualistic. That's Bruce's genius.

This is all about growing up in New Jersey and being a part of drag racing culture. In Michigan, we called them motorheads. Not sure what they were called in Jersey, their lives orbiting their cars. Fixing them, upgrading them, racing them. There is still this subculture all across America, but in the 50s-80s, it was one of the larger segments of the young culture here. Going to the sea was to relax and make out. Watching the submarine races in Michigan.

Well, in the part of Jersey Bruce is from the sea shore is very close. It might not even be a metaphor. In a lot of places it's easy just to drive right up to the beach and hang out.

@@Boatzilla2 Very good point. I always thought they would make out and relax after a good night's racing, but that is honestly totally in my head. And I write romance novels. LOL, Nothing from the song makes that clear. You are never far from the ocean where he grew up. Honestly, I think this illustrates the greatness of Bruce as a lyricist. His songs seem to trip things from your life and mind and make them more personally accessible. We all hear the same song, but it plays out in our minds in intimate ways. The best of art of any type is always like that, timeless yet relevant.

So many of his songs seem written from my life. Yet every fan I know thinks that they were written about them. It is phenomenal art. He finds the universal feeling of rites of passage in his life and makes you feel them as if they were your own. We haven't even discussed his greatness as a live performer. One of my arms is a musical sleeve, and he is one of the artists that made the cut.

Last Date is a live album by Emmylou Harris & this is one of the songs she sings (does it full justice as well). Bruce returned the complement (for this & other covers Emmylou has done of his songs) by singing background vocals on her song Tragedy from her album Red Dirt Girl along with his wife Patti Scialfa. The song suits Emmylou really well because even though it's a song about street racing cars & you would think the music that would go with that subject matter would be fast & propulsive it's instead slow with a sad melancholic rolling melody ; some of Bruce's songs verge on sounding country & if you just listen to the music of this one & forget about the words for a minute this song would fit the bill (it's melody is actually really beautiful just on it's own). Emmylou adds that edge of sadness & yearning that she's famous for. I think it was brave of her to sing it. It takes guts for a female singer to sing a song that's written from a male's perspective.

This is probably my favorite Springsteen song. I am not entirely sure why, although I can certainly identify with the superficial story. I used to race my Corvette up on Mulholland, in the Hollywood Hills - until I almost killed myself one night. However, there is something that is much deeper here. I don't really think this is about suicide, however. I think it is about renewal - driving to the sea to wash your sins away. That sounds more like Bruce to me.

Your comment about British racers using Ford Fiesta in the 90's -Oh, I hope not! I had one of those, a red Fiesta, as a rental, when I was 21 years -between Inverness , Scots', down through Wales, and finally to Birmingham. The Ford Fiesta was fine for a rental, but it gave me a headache at speeds like 80mph, as the front window is closer to the drivers head, then in an average American car. (I'm from the US, was staying in Europe in 1989-'90 -two weeks driving around England was one of my last big events of that year.) II can't imagine even with racing adaptions as being in a "Fast and Furious" scene. This tune by Springsteen is at the end of his 4th album, "Darkness on the Edge of Town" -the title is really apt for several songs. Not a celebratory of leaving town by car, as "Born to Run" or "thunder Road" was before this. "Racing in the street" like the tile of his subsequent album "The River", and a few songs on that album, lead onto Bruce's solo "Nebraska" a dark trip into the heart of America.

Car culture in the States? Car culture was born in the USA, so to speak, Hari! Consider that just a few days back you reacted to "Rocket 88", a song more or less bragging about a car. For a taste of classic songs about kids and cars, check out The Beach Boys -- "I Get Around", "Little Deuce Coupe", "Fun, Fun, Fun" -- and Jan & Dean -- "The Little Old Lady (From Pasadena)", "Dead Man's Curve". Also check out "Lost in the Flood" from Springsteen's debut album. It tells the story of a veteran of the Vietnam War returning home to find solace in racing cars on the streets only to loose his life in a crash, while a street gang looses members in a shoot out with the police. The "Live at the Hammersmith Odeon, London '75" version posted to Springsteen's KZfaq channel is particularly special.

I agree with you the "Racing" is a metaphor- I always thought it could be about being in a band, a DJ, or involved in some kind of "cool scene". I thought the girl was in that car racing scene and takes off with him. But a few years later, it's not so cool anymore and she's more domesticated and wonders when he'll grow up and be too. Again, it's more about marrying/settling down with a person that's always out of the house pursuing their passion while the partner/spouse waits for them to settle down and be normal. Nice Job, Man.

It is interesting you caught the metaphor from the song that people come home from their jobs, and have certain habitual actions outside of their job that keep them alive. The 6th house represents your job. The 5th house your hobby. 5th house is the future of your 1st house representing yourself, so 5th house represents dreams and hobbites that keep you alive. 3rd house is the actions you do that make you proficient in your hobbies because the 3rd is the 11th (gains) to your 5th. Most of the times these actions of the 3rd can sometimes override your job of the 6th (3rd being 10th to the 6th meaning 3rd taking control over the 6th) giving a feeling that the actions you do for your hobby, are more masterful and important than the actions that you put into the job.
