This song just builds and builds to magnificence. The greatest piano player in the greatest band to ever set foot on a stage. Bruce and the E.St band can always lift you up from whatever emotions you are experiencing. Been a fan since 1972,seen them numerous times,brilliant beyond description every time. Sympathy on your loss.
Oh Harri, I'm so sorry about your loss of your dear friend. I'm so glad that Uncle Phil happened to pick a song that would mean so much to you and his memory, and that you listened at just the right time. Hang in there, and in time it gets easier to live with such a loss.
Cancer took my best friend almost 9 years ago now. He was a huge Bruce fan and I’ll never hear this song without thinking of my buddy Mark. Thanks for your reactions…good stuff!
My condolences, Harri. May your friend rest in peace. I can remember hearing Born to Run for the first time on my older brother’s stereo. It was on the radio and I put my ear against his cheap speakers and became mesmerized. I had never heard anything like it. Backstreets became my favorite song off the album though. I was still in elementary school. But they were all great. Jungleland, Thunder Road, She’s s the One, 10th Avenue all blew me away but Backstreets touched me differently. It became my anthem. I hope in someway it’s help you heal. Sorry again for your loss.
My personal favorite from "Born To Run". That's Roy Bittan killing on in the piano. "Born To Run" is one of the landmark recordings of the rock era, without a dud on it, and Springsteen's best album. This album is possibly the greatest performance and achievement on record by an individual artist.
Harri, I am sad for you today. A couple of years ago, I lost my best friend to cancer. Lamont was my great childhood friend and I still have days, where he haunts my thoughts. God Bless you Harri and thanks forgreat reactionsyou provided me the last few years. Take care my friend
I have a similar story. He died Christmas week 1998, and he visits my mind most every day. My Bruce tune for him is Blood Brothers. The two of us saw Boss live and solo @ D.C. Constitution Hall Tom Joad tour before knowing of the songs, and that was right around his Hits release which we didn't know for the new tracks. Sorry to Harri, You and all who have lost a dear matey. To quote Bruce on a different tune, "The scars we carry remain, but the pain slips away, it seems." Sometimes it seems. Best to all!
So sorry for your loss, my friend. I lost my best friend from childhood a few years back. (We were both Springsteen fans.) It's a hole that still remains. Be kind to yourself.
It's interesting you thought to dedicate this to your friend who passed away. On Bruce's current tour the song is about his friend from his first band who died a couple of years ago leaving Bruce the last surviving member of his high school band, The Castiles. His latest original album, Letter to You was about this as well. I think you'd enjoy it. Or download one of his concerts from the current tour on Nugs. They are great and he is now touring again.
Harri, my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your friend. Kudos to you to manage to do anything today. It was not my intention but I hope this song helps you get through your grief. Hats off to Huckleberry and maybe we will all see him on the backstreets one day.❤
Harri, I had three very close friends and we went from childhood to adulthood together...They are all gone now and I still think about them nearly every day...The only difference is now I think of them fondly and I'm so glad they were in my life... I wish you happiness when you are able to look back on your time with your buddy...
Beautiful tribute to your friend. I'm glad this song spoke to you today, of all days. May your buddy rest in peace. And may you find comfort whenever music reminds you of him. ❤
Harri, so sorry for your loss. I just went through that myself back in September when I lost a good friend of 40+ years. You’ll get over it, but you’ll never forget him. Love your reactions, and keep up the great work. God bless, brother
So sorry you lost your friend. On Bruce’s 2023 and 2024 concerts, this song follows “Last Man Standing”. Encapsulates loss that we all feel when friends pass, yet gives us the strength to endure. Not necessarily for a review, but I would encourage you to watch those two songs on the current tour. Very powerful!
I am so sorry you have lost your good friend Harri. I hope the love you are receiving in these comments help, in some small way, to soothe your aching heart. I love this song. The entire album is amazing. Thanks Harri and Uncle Phil 🌺✌️
So please check out the 1977 and 1978 versions with the sad eye/drive all night interlude. The song is pretty consistent most of the time, but the tempos.and length of the outeo changes. Please let me know if you need suggestions of the different versions.
I wanna thank you all foryour beautiful messages.Its really appreciated.Thank you so much ❤
Love your Springsteen reactions.
Great song from one of the all time greatest rock albums in history!Long live Born to Run and The Boss!Sorry for your loss😢

Bruces songs have a tendency to paint a very vivid picture, this song is no exception... sorry for your loss Harri... a very heartfelt reaction

The Boss always leads the ride ...an so many people follow
I’m so sorry for your loss Harri. It’s very brave that you still did this reaction. I don’t think I could have.

Many outstanding live versions of this masterpiece
I am sorry for your loss….I am a monumental Bruce fan and this is surely one of his greatest songs …. On the backstreets until the end
I keep on coming back to that one line "Trying in vain to breath the fire that we were born in" more and more as I get older
Great song.. I love that piano opening…
Harri, my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your friend. Kudos to you to manage to do anything today. It was not my intention but I hope this song helps you get through your grief. Hats off to Huckleberry and maybe we will all see him on the backstreets one day.❤

Harri, there are no coincidences…

Mine to 👍🎸
For that real rock 'n' roll wall of sound, you need a piano AND an organ.
Harri, so sorry for your loss. I just went through that myself back in September when I lost a good friend of 40+ years. You’ll get over it, but you’ll never forget him. Love your reactions, and keep up the great work. God bless, brother
thanks H. This is the emotion of Born To Run. Live in the 70's he poured every fiber of his being into the performance of this classic...
So sorry for your loss ❤️🙏, may this beautiful song bring you some comfort
This album 💿 was our group’s fav when we went out cruising in our old junky cars at 16,17, 18 years old 😀
I am so sorry for what you have lost. There is no one who expresses pain like the Boss.
Wonderful suggestion and reaction Harri. My condolences for the loss of your childhood friend. May he rest in peace 🕊🙏
Sorry to hear about your loss.
Sorry for your loss. I hope the Boss provided some solace.
Harri, I am so sorry for your loss, sending you good wishes. And still thank you for taking the time to entertain us 🙏

Blood brothers live in New York is my go to sad bruce song, he even gets emotional on stage.
Favorite Springsteen song.
One of the best albums out there!!!
I prefer his live version of Backstreets; another great one is Badlands, live of course. Sorry for your loss Harri.
Yes Badlands live
Oh, Harri, I'm so sorry. A loss like that is just gutting. Sending you comfort and peace, for you and your friend. ❤❤
Harri, I’m so sorry about the loss of your friend. May God be with you and all who love him. This song is one of my favorites.

I'm SO sorrry for your loss!
Hi Harri, I'm so sorry for your loss.
💔 💔 💔
So please check out the 1977 and 1978 versions with the sad eye/drive all night interlude. The song is pretty consistent most of the time, but the tempos.and length of the outeo changes. Please let me know if you need suggestions of the different versions.
please react to Jungleland from the same album it's a masterpiece
Please check out Winterland, Passaic from 1978. Toronto 84. Another nice vetson is from Hammersmith 1975. They all have different outro lengths.
Please do Fast Car by Tracy Chapman ❤ I love her version but at the 2024 Grammys she sang it with Luke Combs because he made a version of it.
Not so much a song as poetry
So sorry for your loss😥
