Bruce Springsteen - I'm on Fire

[@bonoyass]

song hits hard like a hot summer sunrise, sky is between orange, pink and yellow, the birds starting to chirp, and stars are still seen... and you are rethinking your whole life. dang i miss when i discovered this song.

[@djjones7226]

EXACTLY! Well articulated! 💕🎉

[@tawnys6172]

It reminds me of a mountain road, a drive through mountains

[@CindyFarr-fb5nl]

Dang is my favorite almost cuss word.

[@chrishoper5825]

Fuck. I feel you bro!!

[@Bourne-K]

Ich hatte in dieser Zeit schwere Irren und Wirren und Blicke heute zurück und denke, ich habe diese schwere Zeit hinter mir gelassen. Dieses Lied gab mir in einem Tief voller Alkoholprobleme, Liebeskummer, ohne Arbeit und ohne Ausweg und sogar Drogen - halt. Heute höre ich es gerne und vermisse meine alte Zeit nicht mehr. Es geht mir gut und das Lied gibt mir Power weiter nach vorne zu rennen. Die Flucht nach vorne ist das einzige was ich bei dem Lied empfinde. Niemals nach hinten schauen und da gefangen bleiben.

[@ktok1456]

It’s not self pity here from Bruce. It’s just bloody raw emotion. Christ, this man can introduce a song ...

[@Clintsessentials]

Yep.

[@mal9463]

I don’t think there’s another song out there that can make you feel like this

Never seen an artist introduce a song like this live ever in my life. This is pure magic. The speech, the ethereal music in the back, his gestures. Just everything about the performance. Amazing.

[@rimetime6423]

I know there's a lot of great singers but i too have never seen one better than Bruce live, in his prime like this video he is totally connected to his music. He's so passionate and just amazing.

Awesome!!!!! No words

[@ceceliablazek6909]

That’s why he is the Boss baby!

[@TheRipperxX9]

Thank you America for giving the world such a gem of an artist. There will never be someone like Bruce, that passion, those performances... so authentic. Sadly, my friends don’t share my enthusiasm for him, they find his music old (I’m a 20 yo from Spain), but the truth is that nowadays you won’t find a single artist as devoted to his music and his listeners as Bruce Springsteen. I’ll always be thankful to my dad for making me love him, for treasuring his art for decades, and although I’ll never get to see him at his peak like my dad did back in the 80s in those Madrid and Barcelona concerts, I know there will only be one Boss, and his name is Bruce Springsteen.

[@Pato-rw7qm]

También tengo 20 y soy de España jajaja. Me pasa lo mismo que a ti. A mis amigos no les mola Bruce :( Soy de Madrid, de donde eres tu?

[@nisharaperera6981]

hey I'm a fellow 20 something here. My dad introduced me to Bruce, said that he was called The Boss. I didnt like him much when I was a kid, but somewhere in my teens I discovered him again. God I'm so thankful for such a talented man like Bruce- he really is such a fine piece of art. yep, and just like you buddy I will never get to see him live

[@dexfoster7435]

Beautifully written, I hope more of your age come about !

[@Dancestar1981]

He’s one of the greats I’m 42, I was 3 when this song was first released

[@chico1519]

hallelujah! finally a youngster with good taste in music!

[@spidey9511]

He's dialogue before the song was amazing. He just speaks he's mind, and tells a story so convincingly. I really like that he shared that.

[@Underhills]

I second that. What a great version.

[@spidey9511]

Chinaski no doubt in my mind bud. I believe he spoke from the heart.

[@mariannemaat9282]

If you read his book, you know that he spoke from the heart, it is a sad but true story :-(.

John Smith "I remember, growing up, at night and my dad would sit in the kitchen with all the lights out and he'd wait for me to come in and he'd sit there and drink, and I'd stand in the driveway and I'd look into the screen door and I could see the light of his cigarette. and then I'd rush up on the porch and try to sneak by him and he would always call me back, and I was lucky he was always ahead of me and hes sitting there thinking about all the things he was never gonna have untill he got me thinking like that too. and I'd lay up in my bed at night and I'm staring at the ceiling and feel like there's something to do, something he was telling me that someday I was just gonna...

[@ShawnMac75]

When I was in high school my dad would do the same thing. Sit there in his recliner, drunk off his ass and hating the world. I would come home and see the light on in the living room and think to myself I don't even want to go inside. Then I'd try to rush past him upstairs and he would ALWAYS call me back to give me a lecture and he was just so mad and wanted me to feel afraid of him and like there was no hope that life could be better. Bruce knows and I bet many of you here know.

[@wisecracker1814]

Some intro, heh..? Lots of our dads were like his. Spent their lives workin' hard, takin' care of us, and no doubt thinkin' of all the things they'd never have over that last beer in the glow of the evening. Thanks, pops. Hope I made you proud. Now I'm in my own windin' down years, realizing my limits, savorin' my favorite brew in the twilight. Wondering how my son remembers those years when I was raisin' him. Keeping him warm & safe & dry. Did I teach him well? Do the best a father can? I trust I did. I trust he learned. Indeed, he makes me very proud. Here's to you, son. 🍺 Dare to dream. Dare to do. With love. Always, Pops

[@sampaul6097]

this song captures the haunting lust that nags us when we want someone so bad....near or far...hopefully within our reach....

Intro defines what made Bruce and the decade of the 1980s so unique and magical.

[@bigbonesbilly1969]

There would be a poor world without this great songwriter. What a song!!!

[@brigittedornseifer1887]

this reminds me the summer of 1983 when I was on fire with the love of my life,.... we were still sooooo very young but still I love him even if I am old now...

[@Underhills]

Authenticity. Ya'know, that's what sells. Bruce is brilliant here. God how I miss the 80's. As a matter of fact I miss all things old, it reminds me of what was. What's now is so unimportant. Thing is, I wanna roll back, or somehow adjust. Can't seem to accept current times. Everything is so alien. I don't like myself and I don't like who I've become. The world is just brutal. I miss old times. You know what I mean...

[@cminksful]

I hear ya man getting old is tough things that were once familiar eventually become distant and gone.

[@Isabelle-fh3yr]

There's still people like that out there & you have still got it inside you dear stranger. Just gotta find some more things out there that resonate with that. I hope you find it!

[@Underhills]

Thanks cminksful and Isabelle. I keep coming back to this tune. It is a painting of my life so to speak. Hard to explain.

[@Ryder69girl]

I agree

[@AbbyNormal777]

I feel the same way about the 70's. My life was exactly like that movie "Dazed and Confused". Good times. Not so much stress and fear in the world.

I am so thankful that my dad left me when I was 3 or 4. I am afraid I would dislike him even more, if I had to grow up in his presence. Thank God for good Mother's. They were our salvation.

[@doctormojica5547]

In Mexico, we don’t know that much about Bruce. The fact that I gave myself time to enter his world is one of the best decisions in my life. This is THE song for taking a pause, breathe and enjoy life.

And it was like he was always... Always angry. Always mad. He'd be sitting there thinking about everything that he was never gonna have, until... Until he'd get me thinking like that too. And I'd lay up in my bed, at night, and be staring at the ceiling, and I'd feel like if something didn't happen, if something didn't happen soon, it felt like I was just gonna... Like some day, like I was just gonna...

[@kenj33muddymudder21]

DizzyLola makes this rendition so insanely better than the others. Even tho the content of the song in my eyes is different than the point he is making. When you think of the singer as someone who has been thru that kinda thing... the passion becomes more intense than originally. It makes perfect sense. This song will always be on the list for me.

"At night i Wake up with the sheets soaking wet and a freight train running through the middle of my head" iconic words classic song

[@Ry77x]

My dad passed away a few months ago. The intro to this song makes me cry every time I hear it. (I’m 40) I remember the same damn thing about coming in the house as a teenager and being “lectured” due to exactly how Bruce explains it. Never beaten, never abused .. but still nervous as a 15-18 yr old as I am now as man with two young sons myself. “Makes me wanna huhhh!” Never again ol man. I’m changing this. I have changed this.

No one is probably hearing this in 2018 , but I had to get it off my chest. Better than putting this shit on fb. ... be cool to your kids 🤘🏽

Talking about his dad, validated why he’s awesome...he’s authentic and so incredibly human, but, he feels love from his soul before it even touches his heart.
