I had my eyes closed for the entire video, and let the words create a visual for me, this is so beautiful yet all too heartbreaking. There ain't going to be another Bruce, ever.

The greatest American Musician in the last 4 decades. No difficult for me to believe it.

And I break above the waves I feel the sun upon my face Best song ever

Meravigliosamente bella e un incanto

Posiblemente, una de las mejores canciones que se haya escrito jamás.

una delle voci più belle della musica ,accompagnata da una melodia da paradiso,bruce sei veramente bravo,ITALY MILANO Angy 78

Powerful song powerful man. How strong to do this for us, for himself

No one writes like Bruce.

Simply brilliant....there is no other like Bruce! This song gives me goose bumps everytime I hear it! Haunting and beautiful, the man is a poet and no other does what he does!

I am enthroled with this song first time i have heard it😢😢

magnifique!

hauntingly beautiful,full of emotion,breathtaking

This song is so chilling. Absolutely beautiful, and emotionally devastating at the same time. Bruce's ability to genuinely touch your soul is so striking. Thank you, Mr. Springsteen.

Beautiful version. Gets me all misty eyed!

"..i'll visit you in another dream..." This also is a fantastic performance! Breathtaking! Thanks for posting.

Caro Bruce, ho 76 anni ma questo "paradise" cantato da te, mi fa emozionare in modo eccezionale ciao

que grande es simplemente the boss con todos mis respeto .....sinatra,elvis ,dilan.etc.....bruce es lo mas el N-1 alguien lo duda .genio para mi es un cantautor mas que un rockero...nadie me hace llorar solo bruce (anectota) soy gitano y musico y bruce hace canciones de10 munitos y quisiemos que duranran 20 incleible .los arpegios que trabaja son.........buen guitarrista .

Top 10 in the Springsteen catolog

Brilliant.

Vocal art, at the best....

Thats Bruce at his best! He ist a fantastic song writer!!!!

I wish there hadn't have been any reason for Bruce to have written this song :( but it is beautiful and very moving! Thanks for posting.

This is real, yet it is magic

Just wonderful, the lyrics are brilliant, love you Bruce

Best song of The Rising. Brilliant.

Amazing song❤

This song takes me to paradise...

1st time ive seen this live,brilluant

Una vida pasada , se presenta en sueño y escribe esta canción. El al final de su Camino y Ella ala mitad de su vida, se parado por idioma, tiempo. Hermosa canción.

I thought it was about the surviving family members of the people that died. How it must have been for them to have to deal with the grief of losing their loved ones in such a tragic and senseless way :( Maybe they were thinking of killing themselves to stop hurting so much from their loss and at the last minute decided to live. :( Either way it is a VERY moving song! Thanks Bruce for writing it and thanks MatMc001 for posting it!!

My Favorit Live Song of B.S!!!!

Such a great song and Bruce rules

Phenomenal... Thanks a lot for posting this.

So beautiful and moving. I have been listening to this song since 2006. RIP Clarence Clemons...

Beautiful!

Maja Kordic then don't commit suiside

i actually like this better then the original one.

The first thought that comes to mind is haunting. The other comments confirmed the same feeling. Bruce is an exceptional talent and has/ had a fantastic band. I have never seen a live concert that delivers what he does. OK Better Midler does too . She puts on a Fantastic show. Beautiful ! Springsteens album Nebraska got planned in Rolling Stone. I think it was superb. My only slight dissapointment in albums was Born in the U.S.A. It sounded like a forced and cranked commercial job under the whip of contract. It shows. Not saying that it was bad album, it just seemed that he was creating through a contrational noose. I found it interesting that it was one of his most commercially successful albums. Go figure.

The winter sun shot thru the black trees I told myself it was all something in her But as we drove I knew it was something in me Something that had been comin' for a long time And something that was here with me now On highway 29 The road was filled with broken glass and gasoline She wasn't sayin' nothin', it was just a dream The wind was coming silent thru the windshield All I could see was snow, sky and pines I closed my eyes and I was runnin' I was runnin' then I was flyin'

It is time for a Nugs release..

A female suicide bomber... walking through the crowded market, eyes drifting from face to face... closing her eyes, she puts her finger to the trigger and waits for Paradise... The Virginia hill have gone to brown... United Airlines flight 93 and all aboard.. bot now all that's left is their memory, as in a dream... But we do not drown in our sorrow; we continue on. Probably the most poignant song ever written. God, it makes me cry every single time. :'(

I don't know the official reason... The Rising album is centered around Springsteen's reflections on the September 11, 2001 attacks. While most of the songs were written after September 11, 2001, a few of them pre-date the attacks.

I visit you in another dream

great great great! what else to say?

💜🖤🌹🎸🙏🔝🤟

Great video... amazing lyrics... what can I say anymore? Wonderful upload... Is this from Devils & Dust tour?

Really? I would never have guessed that. Where did you discover that interpretation? Songs are so personal to the songwriter AND the listener. We hear what resonates for us, based on our experiences and perspective. It never ceases to fascinate me!

@ireneadler17 That's just about the best description of the song I've read. :)

Now there's a scary thought, I mean on my end, no wait that's not what I meant - the other way around, so you see, everyone has a different view, it's what makes us interesting, human, and sometimes,.... anyway you know what I mean... it's good to have company, thanks

which live is this? Where was it? I can't stop listening 👂

@GuiltAndFailure try "empty sky", it's amazing too!

Such a beautiful song,i bet there wasnt a dry eye in the house.

I know we all have different perpestives, but when I hear this line it reminds me of a young girls first kiss, and the line plastic and wire make me think he is singing about her braces, maybe I'm too naive, I can see where folks think the worst case scenario but you know opinions are... opinions, my compainion native NYer's ( not me) thinks that's all it is.

@MsNinjaA I know that but thanks

You're welcome :-)

I could be totally wrong about how I interpreted this song. When you listen to it...it just seems like someone is planning on ending their lives and then decides against it. Although with the other people's comments...it makes you see a different view and think that yes it could have been about a suicide bomber. I just know that to me it is a very thought provoking/moving song.

@marktech101 listen to Nothing Man or Missing live

@SuzzyStohelit Hi Suzzy, I agree with you although I never experienced any circumstance like that... and I think this song is meant to give you chills, I love the melody but it makes me uneasy. I think it's meant to thrill people and make them doubt absolutely every belief they might have in this religious paradise some people are ready to kill or die for. I had to read many comments in order to start to understand what it's about and all I'm sure about is that it's intended to make us think.

Yes exactly. Think. Feel!

You are very perceptive, Yes, it could have happened just as you write, the loss and sudden death of a loved one can push people over the top, I know 9/11 was hell on earth. Words can save lives, and you have a way with them.. Peace...

I was there.. and it was hell on earth ! .I am most likely in denial about this song,because I don't understand how he can romanticize an act that has caused me and so many others so much pain, I left the city only to.... Someone explain that...and please I adore Bruce but this gives me chills

I really don’t think he romanticizes the act. He does make us think. Feel.

This was 2001, and I betting you weren't there, because I lived in a cop and Fireman borough called Queens. I listened to the Bagpipes playing everyday for about a year, ..but just so you know, I love the piano. 🎹

It's from the Rising, and is probably about a guy who's childhood love perished in 9/11.

We could try to explain mate but what would be the point?

how come he pronounces paradise like pair-uh-dice in this song, but in incident on 57th street says pAradise. did he lose some of his accent?

Buuffff.... oofffsss.... this is just too much for me tonite... 'telling you, dear... too much for me...

I don't know the official reason. Do you?

she's gone - in the song - written after 9/11

Where the river runs to black I take the schoolbooks from your pack Plastics, wire and your kiss The breath of eternity on your lips In the crowded marketplace I drift from face to face I hold my breath and close my eyes I hold my breath and close my eyes And I wait for paradise And I wait for paradise The Virginia hills have gone to brown Another day another sun going down I visit you in another dream I visit you in another dream I reach and feel your hair Your smell lingers in the air I brush your cheek with my fingertips I taste the void upon your lips And I wait for paradise And I wait for paradise I search for you on the other side Where the river runs clean and wide Up to my heart the waters rise Up to my heart the waters rise I sink 'neath the water cool and clear Drifting down, I disappear I see you on the other side I search for the peace in your eyes But they're as empty as paradise They're as empty as paradise I break above the waves I feel the sun upon my face

@JMC01644 Its about a suicidebomber. They believe they go to "Paradise ", if they "succed"

there's very few songs better than this

@MatMc001 9/11

Nope, it is definitely about 9/11 from the bomber's perspective but hey it's for people to make their own interpretation right?

That's sick :S So it's about cold blooded mass murderer? WTF Bruce...
