My wife and I are now 75 n 76 yrs old and every time this song comes on she gets up and dances like she's 20 yrs old is terrific and I'm playing the drums on the table like I know what I'm doing thank you Bruce for a great song
:No one but no one can ever perform this song like he does. I'm 78 yrs. old, have cancer and kidney failure etc. and even though I can't get up and dance to this song, I'm pretty good at dancing in my chair. lol He just lifts my spirit listening to him and watching him perform. I give thanks to you, Bruce, for making my day a little brighter.
Keep listening Sharyn ♥. Life is minute by minute. I have chronic pain and other illnesses. I try to set very small goals for myself and still have long term goals for the future. Easy does it. My aunt said, if u can't do it, it will be right there waiting for you.
So very true. It's like I tell people, don't worry about me until I stop smiling or laughing. Life should be appreciated no matter what the card is dealt to us.@@lindadavis5668
My dad's favorite song. We used it with proud and respect at his funeral a month ago, in church. He was suffering from Alzheimers, but every time I played this song, a big smile appeared on his face.
Oh my God is that COURTENEY COX?!?!?! She was SO CUTE here!!! I had no idea she was such an adorable tomboy before starring in Friends. Watching her dance onstage with Springsteen is so heartwarming ❤
Bittersweet song for me. My mom would drop whatever she was doing whenever this video came on and dance with Bruce. My mom passed away a month ago and this song will forever be a beautiful memory of her. Update: Wow. So many likes! I really only posted this to share and vent a little bit. I really didn't think so many people would reply to and like my comment! You are all incredibly kind and thoughtful so thank you for that. May you all be blessed in this crazy time.
This song has so much energy no way one cant love it, im so very sorry for your loss but I'm sure your mom is dancing in Heaven to this wonderful song, god bless your mother🌹🙏
Bruce is such a genius. People have no idea how hard it is to make an uplifting sad song. It's so good! Keep coming back to this one every few years, and it's like hearing a new song every time!
This will probably be the last time I get to write to everyone and give my thanks and gratitude to everyone for your love, prayers and support. I am now under home hospice care. I am so thankful to all of you and your kindness. I will still dance with Bruce to the last breath. I pray everyone will stay healthy, happy and look forward to the next day with all of its beauty around you.
This resonates so deep within my soul. I'm a black man who loves old school r&b and rap music. But damn, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG. The lyrics talk about getting out of the rut you're in and going out to start living again. What a MASTERPIECE Bruce
Music is the most beautiful language that speaks beyond skin color and into our soul, our being. I legit love all genres of music, except like old white man blues- can't do it haha. We can all relate to a rut- the ho hum. It can only feel comfy for so long before you feel like you're disrespecting... Life. Yourself..?? Life is for living, after all💖✨
@@erkaderka3571 💕💕Thanks for the endless love I appreciate your love and support for my movie . I hope you don't stop watching to my movie ? How long have you been watching to my movie now?

I agree with you. I am also an old skool R&b and hip hop lover but this song is great. I grew up listening to Bruce as both my Mum and Dad went to most of his concerts in the UK so I heard him playing in our house often. Good music is good music
I’m 30 years old and I love to read the comments from 70+ people and that despite our cultural, economical and social differences we can still enjoy great songs like these.
What a brilliant person... Was working.... Only labouring at his concert in Manchester England.... He done about 2hour set no warm up band just him... And after he Finnished... Walking past us lot waiting to drop the rig and stage... He look at every one in and the eye and said... "thanks I couldn't do this without you"... The boss man!!!
I'm here in August 2, 2022, this song is amazing. It brings back so many good memories when life was so much simpler and socal media wasn't even thought of yet. Man I'd do anything to go back in time to the 80's.
I'd be honored if some 80s fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances DANCING IN THE DARK by Bruce Springsteen and PURPLE RAIN by Prince in tribute to 2 American musical legends. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
My brother had a best friend who was a exact image of Bruce in his prime in 1984 when this song was in the charts. Swear to God I melted every time he knocked on our door!
Almost impossible to believe, I was at that show in June 1984 at the St Paul Civic Center, Bruce played that song 3 times in a row to get all the footage needed, he was so apologetic and we just didn’t care! The crowd went wild when he pulled that girl on stage to dance, we didn’t know she was planted there or that 10 years later, she would become Monica on Friends. Now I watch this and I feel like I’m there again.
Don’t normally leave comments, This song has really recently been a life saver for me. I’ve just recently just got diagnosed with epilepsy and I’ve had to give up driving and been started on medication that has affected my mood. But this song is able to make me smile instantly and keeps me going through the tough times. Thank you Bruce :)
This is the song that awoke me in difficult times. I mirrored myself in the lyrics, it truly described how I felt and what I was going through in such a personal, clean and profound way. It made me feel understood, not alone, I used to listen to it before I had a test at university, before a great event, when I was feeling extra happy, when I needed a boost of strenght or when I was feeling like shit. It's mesmerizing to me how this tune can convey such different messages and talk to everyone. It still inspires me not to give up on anything. This song is truly magical and I think it will always be my favourite. Thanks Springsteen.
You should try listening to Jorgens version on The Voice Norway for a low key version. Gives so much more debth to the talented songwriter Bruce is: ua-cam.com/video/X3ruKFDmChY/v-deo.html
You never know how much people inspire you until you get older. Bruce Springsteen has had such a major effect on my life, he inspired me to just be a good human being.
I was at this concert at the St Paul Civic Center. They played/filmed it twice to get everything right. Bruce apologized between the two and thanked us for our patience. Great memories.
seriously historic to witness that... I'd be honored if some fans of classic 80s rock anthems would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of EYE OF THE TIGER by Survivor and DANCING IN THE DARK by Bruce Springsteen on my YT channel in tribute to the era of legendary power ballads. Live acoustic with no autotune. Stay safe and keep on rocking in the '020s.
My Mother used to listen this song almost every day. I remember telling her to lower the volume so I could sleep. She died of cancer a week ago and I would do anything to tell her to turn up the volume as loud as she wants. My heart is broken. I'm sorry mom. I'll always love you 😢
I sincerely wish you much courage and strength to cope with the death of your mother. I also listen to this catchy song every day, and yes, I automatically dance along. Maybe you too can listen to this song every day... with mom in your thoughts.
@@riovuki4423 After reading your response, I immediately recognized the intense sadness I had when my mother died of cancer. You wouldn't wish this on anyone. That's why I wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you. Hug.
So, so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one will never ever be easy. She is in a better place and not suffering. I lost my Dad 5.5 years ago and its still a very difficult life without him. I miss him dearly. ❤
I love how hopeful this song is. Even though he's struggling and wants to escape his life, it's still triumphant and beautiful. About reaching for something else, wanting more from your life and being honest about your struggles. Also the character may be considered a loser, they are willing to set themselves on fire for some movement and excitement in their life- it's revolutionary
I concur, really cool synopsis. I know the boss has said this song was about himself after his record dealer forced him to make another hit single, after Bruce said he didn’t want to. So of course being pissed off, he wrote it and you def see his frustrations come out as he’s stuck there sitting around trying to write this down
This song fills me with a massive amount of energy and inspiration. The beat, the voice and watching his moves on stage is just something else. What a legend he is
This song came out right around the time I graduated High School. Now I'm 57. Lot of tears between then & now, lot of heartbreaks. This song, and others, helped get me thru...
You are so beautiful, man. Thank God for this, in addition to your success. May God bless you for making many hearts dance with you on this delicious swing.
I think all great performers have those things, but every at their given time/era. For me it's clear he had. It´'s too much say that all is only talent, like he was born like that and never trained voice/singing, stage performance (dance), had someone else saying "try this shirt/pants/belt haircut"
Thanks for taking time out of your busy life for the reply. I hope you have a long, prosperous, & happy life! I listen to your music while hiking, working, & my daily chores. I get wired feeding off your intensity. Keep on rocking 😎 👊 👍 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶
I always felt the same way since first hearing this years ago. Music has a way of allowing for communication that is of a higher form than linguistics and this song is a prime example of that. The earnest desperation of life’s struggles and the angst and yearning that comes with it is greatly expressed here. The rhythmic beats, poetry, sounds have a way of expressing this far more accurately than words ever could. Sentences and speech we just a means to an end and a rather ineffective one at that. Music does it better. It’s a strong plea of desperation and also expresses the emptiness and void of “dancing in the dark” that can seem inescapable.
How I feel.... I can’t stand the pattern of living, but this song always helps me understand that I can change that at any time.... “there’s something happening’ somewhere”. Love the lyrics, his voice, his dancing.
66yrs old and still this song gives me goosebumps. It takes me back to the carefree, good times. I'm dancing again now like a teenager. Thankyou Bruce. You're making me smile again.
This song is one of my favorites to this day since it came out when I was 6yrs old. My Dad would turn it up,we would sing at the top of our lungs, and dance together. My Dad is now gone 7 yrs and every time I listen to this song it brings me to tears, but also wonderful memories.❤ Especially, if it was on the radio and we were at a red light. Since, tinted windows were not a thing, everyone could see us singing our hearts out. Dancing too.
This song emits such energy. The band is on fire with this one. A great workout song or if you are feeling down it really lifts your spirits. Thank you Bruce!!!🙏🙏🙏
Right? Love his energy in the concert and it just gets me wanting to dance, even though I can't dance. ^^ Just discovered this song a few weeks ago, need to check out more from him, only knew Streets of Philadelphia before I think.
40 years later and this song is still a classic! I love Bruce and miss these times! Seeing him pull a young Courteney Cox up on stage gives me chils! Who would have thought she’d be famous and on one of the biggest TV shows of all time in the years to come… fate is a crazy thing❤️
Um...You do know that was an acting job, don't you?! 😳 First all, he was lip-syncing in front of the crowd. She wasn't a random person. 🤦♀️🙄 I still think her name would be a great porn name...🤔
She was chosen from a casting call by director Brian De Palma to appear in the 1984 music video for Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark", as the young woman pulled onstage at the St. Paul Civic Center to dance with Springsteen
Thanks for the love and support you showered on me . It's been wonderful having fans like you solidly behind me this is my way of saying thank you . Much love 😘❤️💯
Hello👋 super fans,I am glad my music was able to win your soul my wonderful fan❤️❤️❣️I appreciate you for being a great fans of mine❤️🎼🎼You mean alot to me my Amazing fan🎼🎼❤️Kisses😘.
Like someone wrote before. This song is bittersweet for me. My mother’s favorite Springsteen song. 12 years ago, she was sick in the hospital and I went out to run an errand. When I turned on the fm radio of my car this song started to play. It was a beautiful morning, the sky was sparkling blue with a nice breeze and a few clouds, but the moment I heard the song, I don’t know how but I just knew she had passed away. A few seconds later my brother called me to say that I needed to return to the hospital. He didn’t want to say why but I knew. RIP mom I love and miss you. And thanks for your wonderful music taste. 😘
My Dad loved Bruce. This song reminds me of him. Sadly he passed away a few months ago and I didn't get to see him in his last week because I caught Covid. If only I could turn back time. RIP, Dad. I miss you so much..
Such a shame that they do not make any more like the boss. A real entertaining talent. I'm 81 years old and I still love him. What a Powerhouse he was!
I was 14 when this song was released and the memories this song brings to me. My son is 23 and tells me we had the best music. I couldn’t agree with him more. Makes me proud to have grown up during the best decade ever.
My Husband, loved him some Bruce Springteen music. He is in heaven now. He had a Alfa Romero drop top. We use to jam to this song. "Hollering." This song. The good times.
Funny how a song can take your mind back to nearly 40 years ago with crystal clarity but you can't remember what you did last week. A great song and performance, it raises my spirits every time I listen.
It's 2021 and I'm still listening to this classic, thanks to my mum who introduced Bruce, I still have the cassette of his album "Born in the USA". And I'm just 28.
It's not real. It was staged for the video. She's explained how it worked - there was a casting call for the role and she got picked due to being a bit gawky and just the right feel to the producers. She was then planted and Bruce told who to pick. Still a great video. But wasn't chance.
@thinchrisful Only when Jonny Rotten and Sid Vicious got together to kick off London Punk .i mean come on all we had was the left over hippies from the Bleedin 60`s until then and along came the Clash ,The Buzzcocks ,The Jam .The Yanks were stuck in the Hippy 60`s Big time
I watched Bruce at a Wembley Stadium concert many years ago - I will never forget it - truly a special artist, charismatic is the first word that comes to mind.
I may be late commenting on this video and maybe no one will see this comment, but I come here every morning and every day because of my depression. This soothing music helpeed me a lot. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me get through the hard times. If you are reading this I hope you sleep peacefully and wake up happy and well rested🙏🙏🙏!
androcles Sounds to me, after just now listening to this again, like a man who finds himself in a rut. He spots a lady, sitting there with a broken heart, so he says, come on, let's dance, take a chance at being the fire in each other's lives. It could happen, let's take a chance, even if all ends up being is dancing in the dark. Sounds like the average lonely hearts situation to me, for the twenty/thirty something singles scene. There's that big biological drive to find the one you will have a family with, you know, keep the species at a healthy number. Once you get older than that, you lose big drive to find a life mate, then it's more about finding quality people to fill your life with, friends and maybe a partner/soul mate.
I'm a chef and because of the pandemic I've been working 12 hours a day six days a week. Just trying to keep the restaurant and my neck above water. This has been my theme song. Thanks Boss.
It’s 2023… 39 years later this song is still living on as an absolute banger. Whoever still listens to this. You are a legend. And you know what real music is.
"You can't start a fire without a spark" man that's absolute classic line. Born In The USA was my most favorite Springsteen song, but listening to this song again and again has changed my mind.
My wife and I are now 75 n 76 yrs old and every time this song comes on she gets up and dances like she's 20 yrs old is terrific and I'm playing the drums on the table like I know what I'm doing thank you Bruce for a great song

One of those songs that has got even better with age, the type of song you turn up full blasts when driving or just sat at home listening to it.
I must agree! There are very few songs that I consider my "driving out to the beach at night" songs, but this is definitely one of them!
Listen this song sang at the Norway the voice… that singer is a gem. You won’t regret it I bet my life…

My Mother used to listen this song almost every day. I remember telling her to lower the volume so I could sleep. She died of cancer a week ago and I would do anything to tell her to turn up the volume as loud as she wants. My heart is broken. I'm sorry mom. I'll always love you 😢
I sincerely wish you much courage and strength to cope with the death of your mother. I also listen to this catchy song every day, and yes, I automatically dance along. Maybe you too can listen to this song every day... with mom in your thoughts.
@@emve2537 Thank you ❤️
@@riovuki4423 After reading your response, I immediately recognized the intense sadness I had when my mother died of cancer. You wouldn't wish this on anyone. That's why I wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you. Hug.
So, so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one will never ever be easy. She is in a better place and not suffering. I lost my Dad 5.5 years ago and its still a very difficult life without him. I miss him dearly. ❤
Du hast mich doch zumWEINEN Gebraucht Es tut mir leid mit deiner Mutter.
I love how hopeful this song is. Even though he's struggling and wants to escape his life, it's still triumphant and beautiful. About reaching for something else, wanting more from your life and being honest about your struggles. Also the character may be considered a loser, they are willing to set themselves on fire for some movement and excitement in their life- it's revolutionary
wow what a sensible guy hahahahaha are you a bot please tell me your comment is so generic and faked
Great synopsis of this song exactly how the writer feels imo
That's it!
Almost sounds like top governmental sh. ...Or a bad criminal. That or just someone losing it either or
I concur, really cool synopsis. I know the boss has said this song was about himself after his record dealer forced him to make another hit single, after Bruce said he didn’t want to.
So of course being pissed off, he wrote it and you def see his frustrations come out as he’s stuck there sitting around trying to write this down
It's 2023 , and this song didn't lose it's shine . Such is the charm ✨

Great voice and great moves
This song fills me with a massive amount of energy and inspiration. The beat, the voice and watching his moves on stage is just something else. What a legend he is
This song came out right around the time I graduated High School. Now I'm 57. Lot of tears between then & now, lot of heartbreaks. This song, and others, helped get me thru...

Yeah bruce brought his best dance moves even though he isn't the best dancer
Yep that’s very true 😊
That’s why they call him the Boss
Couldn’t have said it better myself 👏👏👍
I think all great performers have those things, but every at their given time/era. For me it's clear he had. It´'s too much say that all is only talent, like he was born like that and never trained voice/singing, stage performance (dance), had someone else saying "try this shirt/pants/belt haircut"
I love the Boss's moves! ❤ He really gets into this song. It certainly raises your spirits up.

I am, I am 64 gosh can’t get enough of this song, music. Saw him recently in the uk. Performance great.
His voice, crowd, dancing, the band, I fell in love with the whole thing as a teen and Bruce was fiiiirrreeee🔥 80's baby!
Me too, how are you?
I'm in my 8o's also, , love this song
I'm just hoping he will come to sustralia before I leave this would.. 😅😢 I'm the sane age.. sooo keep rocking bruce.. ❤
One of Bruce's most emotional songs. The lyrics just shatter me, every time. It's like a cry for help.
Really? I don't get that at all. Just the opposite.
@@thermality Same
@@thermality exactly, it's a great song but its certainly one of the least "deep" songs he's ever written
I always felt the same way since first hearing this years ago. Music has a way of allowing for communication that is of a higher form than linguistics and this song is a prime example of that. The earnest desperation of life’s struggles and the angst and yearning that comes with it is greatly expressed here. The rhythmic beats, poetry, sounds have a way of expressing this far more accurately than words ever could. Sentences and speech we just a means to an end and a rather ineffective one at that. Music does it better. It’s a strong plea of desperation and also expresses the emptiness and void of “dancing in the dark” that can seem inescapable.
Bruce wrote this when he was depressed. He both confesses to himself and try to get up to fight.
How I feel.... I can’t stand the pattern of living, but this song always helps me understand that I can change that at any time.... “there’s something happening’ somewhere”. Love the lyrics, his voice, his dancing.
"There's something happening, somewhere" ✨
I love you, Dad! I know you loved this song a whole lot...May your always and forever Rest In Peace!!!
One of the greatest songs ever written gotta love the boss
66yrs old and still this song gives me goosebumps. It takes me back to the carefree, good times. I'm dancing again now like a teenager. Thankyou Bruce. You're making me smile again.
Holi shit youre older than me even ❤
You lucky you lived good times. I swear. Nothing compares with years/decades ago. Nothing!!
Queria muito ter nascido nessa época.
Bonitos recuerdos
We are all still the teens we use to be, we just need to bring it out.
This song is one of my favorites to this day since it came out when I was 6yrs old. My Dad would turn it up,we would sing at the top of our lungs, and dance together. My Dad is now gone 7 yrs and every time I listen to this song it brings me to tears, but also wonderful memories.❤ Especially, if it was on the radio and we were at a red light. Since, tinted windows were not a thing, everyone could see us singing our hearts out. Dancing too.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story 🥰

This song emits such energy. The band is on fire with this one. A great workout song or if you are feeling down it really lifts your spirits. Thank you Bruce!!!🙏🙏🙏
It's timeless. And if you can tap into the a personal connection with the lyrics it's beautiful
Right? Love his energy in the concert and it just gets me wanting to dance, even though I can't dance. ^^ Just discovered this song a few weeks ago, need to check out more from him, only knew Streets of Philadelphia before I think.

40 years later and this song is still a classic! I love Bruce and miss these times! Seeing him pull a young Courteney Cox up on stage gives me chils! Who would have thought she’d be famous and on one of the biggest TV shows of all time in the years to come… fate is a crazy thing❤️
Um...You do know that was an acting job, don't you?! 😳 First all, he was lip-syncing in front of the crowd. She wasn't a random person. 🤦♀️🙄 I still think her name would be a great porn name...🤔
Supposedly this is where she was discovered by a Hollywood scout. He or she did good picking Courtney!!♥️
Meu Deus, era a Monica do FRIENDS?
She was chosen from a casting call by director Brian De Palma to appear in the 1984 music video for Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark", as the young woman pulled onstage at the St. Paul Civic Center to dance with Springsteen
She is the niece of his ex wife who played "Frankie" in the series "Sisters"
Hallelujah. Please sing it if you haven't. Your pure voice is serene. 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Like someone wrote before. This song is bittersweet for me. My mother’s favorite Springsteen song. 12 years ago, she was sick in the hospital and I went out to run an errand. When I turned on the fm radio of my car this song started to play. It was a beautiful morning, the sky was sparkling blue with a nice breeze and a few clouds, but the moment I heard the song, I don’t know how but I just knew she had passed away. A few seconds later my brother called me to say that I needed to return to the hospital. He didn’t want to say why but I knew. RIP mom I love and miss you. And thanks for your wonderful music taste. 😘
I've Lost my mom 3 years ago, and I have the same feelings about that song and many others we used to listen to together.

Sorry for your loss

He's not dead.
I was 14 when this song was released and the memories this song brings to me. My son is 23 and tells me we had the best music. I couldn’t agree with him more. Makes me proud to have grown up during the best decade ever.
I agree with your son. We share the same thought.
And your son and I have the same age.
I was 14 when this came out, too. Like you, I feel fortunate and happy I grew up then and I feel so blessed.
Good one! Keep up the good taste ;)
EVER AND EVER... WORLD WITH OUT END !!!.. The BEST DECADE
I'm loving his facial expressions and body movements. You can see how the music takes him over. :)
He's an awkward mover, but it comes from the heart.
He looks constipated

ROCK ON BRUCE, THE BOSS
I remember this video! I didn't realize it was Courtney Cox that he picked to dance .... awesome!
me either
It's what got her noticed and led to her being in Friends
It's not real. It was staged for the video.
She's explained how it worked - there was a casting call for the role and she got picked due to being a bit gawky and just the right feel to the producers.
She was then planted and Bruce told who to pick.
Still a great video. But wasn't chance.
I didn’t realize it was staged until now. I thought it was just a coincidence she was picked.
DUH SLEEPING IN CAVES.

Love You Bruce sprengsteem 💘💯💯🔥🎸🎤😻
It's not contagious I swear this music is older than the 1980s I feel like this came stright out of 1550.
I watched Bruce at a Wembley Stadium concert many years ago - I will never forget it - truly a special artist, charismatic is the first word that comes to mind.
I may be late commenting on this video and maybe no one will see this comment, but I come here every morning and every day because of my depression. This soothing music helpeed me a lot. I just wanted to say thank you for letting me get through the hard times.

You maybe forgot Born to Run?
androcles Never really listened to the words in depth. I will and I will get back to you.
androcles Sounds to me, after just now listening to this again, like a man who finds himself in a rut. He spots a lady, sitting there with a broken heart, so he says, come on, let's dance, take a chance at being the fire in each other's lives. It could happen, let's take a chance, even if all ends up being is dancing in the dark. Sounds like the average lonely hearts situation to me, for the twenty/thirty something singles scene. There's that big biological drive to find the one you will have a family with, you know, keep the species at a healthy number. Once you get older than that, you lose big drive to find a life mate, then it's more about finding quality people to fill your life with, friends and maybe a partner/soul mate.
Springsteen has reached far higher artistic peaks, but this is one of his catchiest tunes.
born to run is the best
