Magnifique, la voix de Bruce Springsteen avec les échos, et super film de Sean Penn avec David Morse, Viggo Mortensen, Charles Bronson, Patricia Arquette, Denis Hopper...
Funno ver ó monte do gozo, Santiago de Compostela, xa daquela me impresionou , pero esta super canción parece que me transporta a outra dimensidá do espacio ou eu que sei...non teño palabras para describir a sensación que sinto agora mesmo,no coment!!!
Bruce! You know how to let run all your feelings. you come in every heart. And stones will soften. THank you so much for this great song, for this awesome story. May GOd bless you, Bruce. Chuck
+SuzzyStohelit In that instance, the video is greatly enhanced by the clips taken from Sean Penn's heart wrenching film (Indian Runner, based on the song). Not that I'm complaining! Also, love your username, fellow Pterry fan :)
Nebraska was an incredible album. Every song a treasure.
It's amazing how Bruce can take a story and put it to beautiful words with real meaning that just take hold of your heart.
How touching is the brotherhood expressed by you Bruce, a highway patrol sergeant! 😘
I live in Hong Kong and have been following your music for many years! Whatever happens, please don't stop singing. 🙏
This song is soooo good

Great job! That was a perfect pairing of audio & video. It was the timing of the splicing that made this worth watching time and again.
Thank you so much for the nice feedback.
The ties that bind good or bad. Family ❤
please pray for my stepson Cody, this song is so him. In jail looking at fifteen. He just went bad, drugs and liquor
Indian runner.... One of my favourite movies 👍👍❤️❤️
My name is Joe Roberts, I work for the state
I'm a sergeant out of Perrineville Barracks Number 8
I always done an honest job-as honest as I could
I got a brother named Frankie, and Frankie ain't no good
Now, ever since we was young kids, it's been the same comedown
I get a call on the shortwave: Frankie's in trouble downtown
Well, if it was any other man, I'd put him straight away
But when it's your brother, sometimes, you look the other way
Me and Frankie laughing and drinking, nothing feels better than blood on blood
Taking turns dancing with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's straying, like any brother would
A man turns his back on his family, well, he just ain't no good
Well, Frankie went in the army back in 1965
I got a farm deferment, settled down, took Maria for my wife
But them wheat prices kept on dropping 'til it was like we were getting robbed
Frankie came home in '68, and me, I took this job
Yeah, we're laughing and drinking, nothing feels better than blood on blood
Taking turns dancing with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's straying, teach him how to walk that line
A man turns his back on his family, he ain't no friend of mine
Well, the night was like any other, I got a call 'bout quarter to nine
There was trouble in a roadhouse out on the Michigan line
There was a kid lying on the floor, looking bad, bleeding hard from his head
There was a girl crying at a table, and it was Frank, they said
Well, I went out and I jumped in my car, and I hit the lights
Well, I must've done one hundred and ten through Michigan County that night
It was out at the crossroads, down 'round Willow Bank
Seen a Buick with Ohio plates; behind the wheel was Frank
Well, I chased him through them county roads
'Til a sign said "Canadian border, five miles from here"
I pulled over on the side of the highway and watched his taillights disappear
Me and Frankie laughing and drinking, nothing feels better than blood on blood
Taking turns dancing with Maria as the band played "Night of the Johnstown Flood"
I catch him when he's straying, like any brother would
A man turns his back on his family, well, he just ain't no good
A smart way of seeing the lyrics to sing with Bruce. 🙏
Thank you so much for posting these lyrics. This song was my first introduction to The Boss.
Nice one. Good to see my font used for such creativity!
Such a beautiful font
Thanks for this video!

I miss my brother.
