    Lyrics:
    I can feel the soft silk of your blouse
    And them soft thrills in our little fun house
    Then the lights go out and it's just the three of us
    You, me and all that stuff we're so scared of
    Gotta ride down baby
    Into this tunnel of love

    truly a great song, filmed at Asbury park.. Every tine my wife sees it she goes down memory lane. She is the sward sallower in this video. The tattooed gentleman was Mikle Wilson better known as tattoo Mike, the illustrated man. When she was asked to do the video, she had no idea it was Bruce Springsteen, she was told it was a local band. Her stage name at the Coney Island side show was Lady Diane.

      I recognize her! Tattoo Mike was a dear friend of mine and I visited him at Coney Island and met his crew at the side show. Michael told me that during a pause in the filming of this video he was reading Flannery O'Connor and Bruce came over and they talked about how much they liked her writing. I miss Michael and I love Bruce.

    I was a teenager in 1987, age 16 & hadn't learned to appreciate Bruce Springsteen. As an adult, having relationships & experiencing all the things we cultivate, collect, treasure & regret along the way, I slowly realized his music was great, even amazing. I finally understood all the hysteria he induces.Of all his songs, this one, in particular, hauntingly resonates, w/profoundly honest & simple lyrics, the line "It ought to be easy, ought to be simple enough, man meets woman & falls in love, but this house is haunted & the ride gets rough. You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above." To me, that's one of the most soul-stirring lyrics I've ever encountered. Now, looking back on a first marriage, at 19, it unraveled in hateful hostility. My second marriage, was a fun & exciting ride, the complete opposite of first, sadly ending w/his sudden death at age 45. Just as much my friend as a lover & a spouse. A painful season of grief followed. Between marriages, I was engaged to the love of my life. He sank ever deeper into alcoholism & unspoken despair, raging battle inside him. So intense, he couldn't find words to even express it was happening. He got sicker & sicker, as I drifted away, when he wasn't pushing me away. We let go of the grip of our hands & hearts. I got up, walked away, but it was extremely messy, taking a yr to completely cut ties, both of us moved to different states, no contact info given.This song resonates w/me, the house is haunted w/ memories, ones that scar & remain & exorcises itself, the only way it can be done. The ride gets rough often, especially in young adulthood, but for valid reasons that you'll understand many years removed from those times. Eventually, if fortunate, you arrive at a place internally, easily learning to live w/what you can't rise above. The process of getting older does provide wisdom & an ability to have a level of perception unavailable to younger adults. It's a level of maturity referred to in this song & you either get it, or you don't.

      Thank you , Tom, for taking a moment of your time & replying to what I wrote, I appreciate your good wishes for me. I wrote that over 2 yrs ago & I have definitely cheered up & even (,dare I say it) had periods of sheer happiness. That's the part about happiness that makes us all strive for it like a drug,. All of us (for the most part,), have had the sweet, divine pleasure of experiencing the great state called happiness, and, like most of us, it's fleeting as other forces converge upon one's life to continually push us to the edge, forcing upon you not only life changing challenges, but mundane chores & tasks that unfortunately, we spend the bulk of our lives undertaking. I think the key 🔑 is to know when you find joy & savor it as long as acceptably possible. Joy, like pain, is random, but certain. Again, thank you for the kind words you took the time to express to me. If only we practiced more kindness not only to strangers, as we are so often reminded to do by the media we are engulfed by, but sometimes kindness goes the furthest when we give (freely, I might add!) to the very people we share our lives with, because one day, usually without warning, either you, or them will be gone. The memories left behind aren't all perfect, for we all know that word doesn't exist in reality, only in our fantasies & the stuff made in Hollywood. Memories are what we leave behind & if you did it right, they will be of the kind that provides comfort & humor & lessons to live by. My memories are rich & full of the knowledge that once upon a time I was loved by the most astounding & unique individual that I ever came across, of the type that caused me to experience an emotional state that I'd never felt before & had only heard of, but never experienced . It was the most unusual thing, to fall in "love at first sight", of which there are two types of this state.. One type is also one-sided, the other, is felt mutually between both parties involved. To my fantastic good fortune, it was a mutual occurrence. My future husband never felt this before either, preferable I think.

      All in a very simple key, and easy chords to play on an acoustic guitar.
      But they sound like nothing without that mysterious, ominous, but almost 'warm' haunting bass production sound.

    While I don't consider myself a big Bruce Springsteen fan, this song has haunted me from the very first time I saw the video almost 30 years ago. The video's final scenes of Mr. Springsteen's solitary walk past a dilapidated carousel undergoing repairs in a closed-for-the-season Asbury Park -- under cold, graying skies, no less -- has always left me with a deep feeling of loneliness and solitude. I've listened to many songs in my life -- this one I felt.

    Great song then & still is now. Lyrical genius. Arguably Bruce's best album, definitely his most personal after his own marriage breakdown!

    Even when this song came out it wasn't given the appreciation or accolades regarding the lyrics or music. I think this song should be played at every carnival and amusement park across this country especially on the Himalaya ride. The one where it goes in a circle and it rides up and down it goes forward and then it goes backwards at a fast rate.

      Bill Morton ...52 yo now...used to crank this up on the big brothers sound system back in the day, worked 3 days, off 2...kept this on while cleaning, cooking and playing with my 2 yo. While bro was living elsewhere, left the stereo with the 3 foot high speakers at parents house. Bf n I married and bought our own house a year later. Celebrating our 30th anniversary in January...our adult son is a happy healthy young man of 34 in February. Havent spoken to bro in a couple of years. Shame for him...that its only us left in our family. The ball is in his court. But this brings memories of the simpler days...still with Mom n Dad. Have a happy n healthy new year and the best to you n yours. Stay close to your loved ones. God bless. BTW...Springsteen n band have ruled since their inception. He sings life, no other way to say it.

    This song is my favorite Springsteen' song by far. It's not just the lyrics that give me the chills. My grandfather lived right on the boardwalk in Asbury park and I knew it in its heyday. I saw Bruce at the stone pony, also saw him play at the convention center, and the video clips of Asbury park as it used to be always make me tear up. Between the song itself and the video, I can never hear this enough

      I've never been divorced, but as someone who suffers from depression, this line and the last line of Brilliant Disguise speak to my soul.

    30 years ahead of its time and STILL classic

    One of my faves of Bruce's songs. Love the guitar and harmonies.

    I am NOT a Springsteen fan, but (to me) this song is musically quite good and lyrically nothing short of profound.

    First heard this whilst in Edmonton, Canada and it has stayed with me for over 30 years. Never fails to make me smile and remember some great times at the West Ed Mall. Thinking of you Anita, wherever you are. X

    I'm sorry but Springsteen is an absolute god. This song is fucking brilliant. He's putting it the fuck down. You da man Boss.

      He doesn't really like being called
      The "Boss"'
      He real and a beautiful soul...
      A truly good man, not in the boring
      Way..
      I actually, love him !
      I'm older now, it's not a fan - girly thing
      He connects with something within., me
      He has that personal conversation
      With all all of us...
      He gets it, the desperate, the dreamers,
      And the rebels..
