No gimmicks, no sexy outfits, no gyrations. Just pure talent and simple beauty.😍

Fair enough, Bruce had the better hip gyrations.

[@doovybro9000]

No gimmicks. Apart from a 30 piece orchestra. Apart from that.

[@bartram33]

@ an Orchestra’s not a gimmick. It’s a musical accompaniment for a singer, without one it’s a Capella. She’s singing with music.

[@judykarey8150]

Thank you Amy MacDonald for this, your awesome Version of this Classic Song.

I played this at my dad’s funeral , he had Alzheimer’s and dementia. It reminded me of it .Rip.27/06/1935 to 06/04/2024 . Michael Noonan : limerick Ireland , You know what is coming , but it still hard . i was driving up the rd about a week after it and i thought i seen him and was all happy for few secounds and then bang . you start thing your losing it. He is in a better place now tho

Every once in a while, exceptionally, someone makes a cover as good as or even better than the original. This is one of those times.

[@CheradanineZakalwe]

Never been a Springsteen appreciator but have listened to him doing this and for me Amy nails it. She 'feels' it and articulates it whereas he just shouts it. I struggle with Scottish accents too, despite living quite close tot the border but I can understand with no difficulty every word she says and I like the way she says them.

[@Rafaelmllv]

Like Hurt - Johnny Cash / Nine Inch Nails

I'm a massive Amy fan and my eldest daughter who is 36 years old and is into Rap and R & B and didn't bother to listen to any of her music but I kept playing Amy's music and suddenly and eventually she became interested and is now a big fan too so it's now brought us together more by listening to each other's music and we have now such an eclectic mix and embrace all the music we play to each other .I've also got her into 60's music and I've got into Eminem and kid Cudi .Music really does speak to us and brings people together.I'm so happy and Amy is such a talented artist .I love it when she sings the line 'I take a look in the mirror ' and she gives a cheeky smile (makes me wonder if she is looking /singing to someone in the audience .

[@kevinbrown1476]

Wow, just heard this for the first time. What a brilliant version. Great voice and gorgeous lady. It made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Thank you Amy.

[@CPSJSMSUUMUGA]

I'm a huge Springsteen fan and have no problem whatsoever with those who like this version better than Bruce's, or, for that matter, anyone liking a cover version of any of his songs. He's written about 350; over half covered by someone, and some covered by 50 bands or individuals. Like whatever or whomever you like. There's no reason for fans to be defensive when others prefer covers over the original. He established himself as one of America's greatest song writers over 30 years ago with his first seven albums; Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ (1973); The Wild, the Innocent, & the E Street Shuffle (1973); Born to Run (1975); Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978); The River (1980); Nebraska (1982), and Born in the USA (1984). He's released something like 12 -13, very good to brilliant, studio albums between 1987 and 2014, but even more, it's his concerts that set him apart from any other performer. No songwriter/performer in the world comes close. His position is quite secure. No defense needed. Let people like whomever they like. Nice job, Amy.

[@CPSJSMSUUMUGA]

I was responding to the comments that express dislike for this treatment, and to the thumbs down voters. You're in the clear on Dancing in the Dark. However, there are certain songs that are so sacred, his performance so definitive, they should not be covered by anyone, ever. If you like covers of those songs, next time Bruce and I speak I may have to report you. Examples? Backstreets Jungleland Something in the Night Incident on 57th Street
