I'm glad you liked it Harri. I'm trying to turn you on to songs that were not constantly played on the radio. I mean, the songs that were played on the radio are great too but there are so many songs off of his albums that people don't know about. Songs that show the true versatility and originality of this fantastic artist.

New York City Serenade and Jungleland are two Springsteen "story" songs you may want to check out, Harri.

@@SteveA308 just type in Harry's channel and the name of the song and if it comes up then he has done it

This is Billy Joel's favorite Bruce song. It's best when it leads directly into Jungleland.

I love both songs, but this one especially. This song paints a vivid picture in plain, straight forward language. Two kids going across the river on a drug run, and the tone lets you know it won't end well. Jungleland, my second favorite, is more like his other songs. It's sung poetically in metaphor and double meanings. You get a feeling of what's going on, but not exactly. You really have to paint your own picture with most of his work.

On the record "Meeting Across the River" sets up expectations for the next and final song "Jungleland".

One of my favorite Bruce songs. You could make a great movie using this song as the plot.

His later "Atlantic City" has a similar theme but is different musically.

I feel like this is the song that takes Born To Run to a whole other level. The commitment to the overarching story of the album, the way it slows everything down in preparation for the epic finale. But most of all it shows his range and talent as a songwriter. The lyrics are so subtle, so many details build a complete picture. "Here stuff this in your pocket, it'll look like you're carrying a friend." Perfection.

Got this live at a show where he played the whole Born To Run album from start to finish. Bruce with Roy on piano and Kurt on trumpet it wa sublime and then it went into Jungleland. A fabulous show to be at.

Discovered this song on the album, and played the hell out of it.

Yea, a great song from Bruce's first great album, sounds like it could be made into a movie! Bruce's soundtrack, Robert De Nero's gangster, It was a teaser for what was to come, The lad from New Jersey did good!!

Greetings From Asbury Park - play Lost in the Flood, my favorite from that album

One of my top 3 Bruce tunes. So different from anything else he's done.

Beautifully haunting song, takes me back to my teens cruising Philly in a friend's convertible with this 8 track blasting..... Wow, thank you Harri❤

Greetings from Asbury Park and the Wild the innocent and the e street shuffle were before born to run and they were great albums. Those first three albums are his best imo. I also agree Lost in the Flood is one if best songs

This is a great Bruce song and you’re right, It’s nice to hear some that weren’t played over and over on the radio. Thank you, Uncle Phil and Harri.

This is my favorite song on this album.

Another great song from Bruce’s masterpiece “Born to Run” album. Great stuff! Thanks Harri and Uncle Phil 🌺✌️

The trio supporting Bruce's vocals are Roy Bittan on piano, Richard Davis on upright bass, and Randy Brecker on trumpet. Both Davis and Brecker (his brother Michael was a very popular tenor sax man) were among the leading session musicians of the day. Originally entitled "The Heist," many critics have surmised that Bruce was influenced by Lou Reed's "Waiting For The Man." Thanks Phil and Harri.

Thanks, Harri and Uncle Phil. This is truly incredible. Thanks again! I thought I had remembered ALL of The "Boss's music, but i truly do not remember this one. ❤

He eddy can you catch us a ride...brilliant

Oh my. The song that got me hooked on Springsteen was an early one - New York Serenade. Highly recommended.

Thank You Harri and Uncle Phil! That whole album is like a great movie. Maybe they'll make it after the coming Nebraska movie.

You should listen to "Wild Billy's Circus Story" from his second album.

Absolutely awesome song. I have loved Bruce Springsteen even when he was with. I think they were called the east Street band. I’m not too sure. Just an amazing voice but you have to listen to the lyrics to his songs to actually get it. Thanks again Harri for another great video. Take care of yourself and blessings to you and your family.

As it fades into Jungleland...

The fade of the trumpet giving way to the violins. A transition into another scene in the movie. Two songs that paint pictures into our imaginations.

You are very welcome

This "movie" did end well, despite the melancholy pessimism. He wrote this on the way to the meeting in NY (across the river from New Jersey) that resulted in his recording contract with Columbia Records.

One of my favorites

Great song, album, and cover photo! Well done Harri !

In my view, this was an excellent submission as would be the case with nearly ever Springsteen song. Thanks Uncle Phil and Harri.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

His best song and LP, and I'm not a Bruce fan, enjoy your reactions Harri 🎶🎺

One of my favourites

Stunning isn’t it?

Have you seen Bruce in concert Harri?

😊

Guys setting up some nefarious caper with a mobster

Never cared for him at all...and I'm from New Jersey. His politics as a Democrat are now leaning towards socialism/communism, so I definitely don't like him. He's been a capitalist for decades, but now he turns, while keeping his wealth. Doesn’t care that our border is a disaster and people are being killed or raped by the invaders. Of course, he can afford security. So, I don't want to listen to his voice that miss the notes. Later!

New Jersey? Yeah, right. Did some billionaire or another pay you to spread such hate filled nonsense? I read the Chinese Government was flooding KZread comments with people posing as Americans to spread division and rancor during an election year in which the foundations of the republic are at stake. Would that be you? At any rate, it sounds to me like you might enjoy the Ted Nugent channel more.
