Bruce Springsteen - I'm On Fire (Official Video)

I was 16, and had just dropped my first girlfriend off at home. To put it bluntly, I wanted her in a bad way. While driving home that summer night with the windows down, this song came on the radio. It was the first time a song read my soul. Now, I'm almost 50, and that girlfriend is my wife. This song takes me back to that night, with that same feeling every time I hear it.

Bruce Springsteen is a very good actor. That opening scene is intense. He can't look her straight in the eyes, his breathing speeds up, he seems insecure. Just really great acting that I never noticed before.

i watched this and was just thinking how genuine he was talking to the woman, not just dry delivery, but speaking under his breath saying goodbye, knowing its just pointless anyway, kinda stumbling through a word here and there, like real, a real reaction.

[@Falconlibrary]

Bruce has been a lifelong sufferer from depression. He spends long recovery periods between albums. He retreats from the world for his own sanity.

[@nataliedeshow768]

Of course he does, that's why they call him The Boss!!

[@danielcardiff3861]

His guitarist did.

[@ibuprofenPill]

I remember back to when those PMRC people were criticizing these lyrics. They were saying it was promoting stalking and violence, which was total BS. To me, the music is about loneliness and the walls we erect between us that perpetuates it. Also, the video could be about happiness. She lives a privileged life with lots of wealth, but are you happy? The song says it all. He was expressing how he felt, not suggesting any specific action. Absolute masterpiece of a song.

[@randyb.hughes4609]

I know totally....so That means Rod Stewart's Downtown Train and The Bee Gee's Nights on Broadway must Promote Stalking Also.. .Ha we are so screwed

Mas não só... a belezinha da musica também faz uma alusão a pedofilia, pelo menos é o que se entende quando ele diz "Hey little girl is you dady home? Did he go and leave you all alone? I got a bad desire, I'm on fire" ele literalmente diz "Ei pequena menina, seu papai (no sentigo de sugar dady, que é cara mais velho, rico que fica com mulheres mais novas) esta em casa? Ele foi embora e a deixou sozinha? Eu tenho um desejo mau/ruim/, estou em chamas/excitado" querendo dizer que esta sexualmente atraido por essa pequena menina!

This song is about wanting something you can't have. The song is short, and you want more of it, but can't have it, which is why you love it. The song is not too short, it's just right. If it was any longer, it would kill your desire. Sometimes, wanting something is better than having it. If we had it, we'd just fk it up anyway. You know you would.

Bruce Springsteen is truly poetic.

[@lukatore123]

She was 19 and out of my league, and she had a boyfriend. I knew her for 3 weeks thanks to our mutual friends. We never talked to much but we would always give each other silly looks... There was a students' party of a kind... I was 22 and pretty shy but managed to have a nice conversation with her that night. I didn't expect anything to happen... Later that night she asked me to escort her to her dorm not far away. We were in her room, and this was one of the songs she had on her mp3 CD. We did not kiss or anything. She called me tomorrow to tell me she broke up with her boyfriend.... I was surprised and my ego was high as the sky, I did not expect that. We were crazy for each other for five months and then she broke up when she had to return to her hometown. 19 years later, a year ago, I see her with her daughter (probably 6), I was with my son (9) and she gave me that same silly smile and we said not a word to each other.

It’s about wanting something you can’t have, longing for something you just can’t reach. It captures yearning, desire, frustration, and deep sadness so well. I could listen to this song for hours.

This video had great production values for the era in which it was produced. It doesn't really look dated 30-plus years later. I wish music videos were still like this...

[@barrowlatasha86]

I was just thinking the same thing

[@theoriginalbillholt]

Yes and no, in my opinion. ; ] The crappy warble when the song begins is just as if you're listening to this on a tape deck in a car back in the '80s. However, in all fairness, I'm sure that wasn't in the original release. VEVO left awful production blunders in other videos, too. Cinderella's "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" comes to mind, with a squelch at its 3:57 mark -- right in the middle of the song's arguably best part, which is, again arguably, one of the nicest guitar solos of the '80s. The foley work here is shoddy, but I don't mean to nitpick. The white-clad wonder woman's voice has a different reverb characteristic because it wasn't recorded on the spot in the scene. The keys falling into Bruce's hand don't sound 'correct' either. Those two examples of substandard editing could surely have been remedied back then, but there are also many sound effects in more modern productions which I opine could have been done better. What I see as timelessly great is the overall genuine artfulness of the production, which I believe is another way of saying what you've said. The decision to build tension with the riveting moment where viewers realize they aren't going to see the woman's face is a hallmark of artistry. Great video, as it captures the essence of the song. There were lackluster videos back in the '80s, just as there are today. "I'm On Fire" stands apart because it has substance and character, hinting at a dark subject with an element of decorum, or at least basic decency, which 'art' and life seem to glaringly lack today.

[@troemich]

There`s also the bouncy picture at the beginning. Looks like Telecine Wobble. Watched the same video somewhere else and it`s not happening there. So VEVO screwed something up during the transfer from the film reels. Or somebody else did and VEVO just uploaded it for promotional purposes.

[@aljabeve8096]

I think that the feeling that some people feel when listening to this song comes from the fact that the song has some reminiscence of the nostalgia that hurts the most, the one of what could have been, but never was. And in this case it was "complicated" for something to happen, it was better to leave the key and go and think what could have happened. I think the song brings us something of the perfume of our own youth and what we could have done and everything that happened, that's why a knot forms in our stomach, because we realize the finitude of our own life. The song has something of the sadness of Tango. Alejandro, from Uruguay.

I feel the same way about it ❣️

Thirty years ago, I remember a coworker at McDonald's dancing to this. Watching her dance to this was something I never forgot. She went on to Nursing School and my life went in another direction. Yesterday, I had hip replacement surgery. When they brought me to my room after recovery, the nurse was settling me in and her name tag dangled in front of me, and I said to myself, "Now there's a name I haven't heard from in a long time... "

Did she remember you? Did you mention that moment at McDonald's? I would have. :)

This is one of the best songs ever. Short, expressive and cutting to the point real fast.

As a working-class man, this song resonates with me. Love crosses all boundaries. I've been there.
