Bruce Springsteen - My Hometown (Official Video)

[@jessicaarmentrout1893]

When my first marriage was falling apart and we were all about to move I was in a parking lot with my oldest daughter in the car and this came on the radio. I put her on my lap and sang those last verses to her. I cried then and I'm crying now typing this. Bruce's songs speak to real life, real people, and the very real pain so many of us experience.

I feel you. I've done all three of my boys like that. I worked 3rd shift in the textile mill for 19 years across a railroad track. We still have a wonderful small town, but if we don't get a republican in we all gonna be under Communist leadership.

Americans, you should be proud of this man. There is the real spirit of your country and culture in his lyrics, but his songs are understandable for the people all over the world. He's your national bard, not only a singer. Greetings from Poland!

Too bad American culture is being destroyed right now.

@ric Gikonyo this is a result of the Cold War. Russian and Chinese subversion tactics are being used to destabilise and weaken the West. Its sort of like releasing a biological weapon that only began showing symptoms years later.

This man didn't just write songs, he wrote social, cultural, geopolitical and political history in verses from people's view, not historians' disconnected from reality. Unlike today's music, his lyrics can be studied to get an insight into our history, collective/individual sentiments, struggles....

[@Leftists_are_Losers]

Just compare the lyrics of this song to the lyrics of more recent d songs like WAP. There is simply no comparison. Bruce told stories about society, culture, and politics. What does WAP say ? Not a f’ing thing.

Got to see Bruce at Villa Park Birmingham UK 2023 he sang this , made me openly weep, my lost mom & younger brother, beautiful moment, one guy said you ok mate, his wife said he's fine, just leave him, very nicely i must add, so Bruce thanks, only music can tear you apart emotionally one minute, and in the next take you to an all time high. PEACE ✌️

[@muffs55mercury61]

Know what you mean. With most of my family gone and the city nothing at all like when I was growing up I don't go back to my home town anymore but occasionally I weep when I see those old pictures from back then.

[@greggpfeiffer6998]

I remember Bruce told a story before he sang this song, it was about his Dad going to work, to make money to buy A turkey for Thanksgiving, then to buy Christmas gifts, then Shoes for school, My Dad a Union Electrician lived this life, I remember wondering why My Dad had to get up and go to work on Freezing Cold days in Buffalo NY, and I cold stay in my warm bed, Dad was working class, Salt of the Earth, and could fix anything, RIP DAD, See you on the other side.

[@BurgessRich]

My dad signed a 20 year contract (as a 15 year old) to join the US Navy during WWII as a Filipino National...limited to choice of jobs and max ceiling rank of E-6...sworn to secrecy during Bikini Island nuclear testing, he still has keloid scars that seem to have NEVER healed. He refused to seek a VA disability for injuries that he could not speak nor write about. A year ago, he got his 1st helicopter ride...a life flight to Sarasota Memorial for an fall...doctors there also thought he suffered a mild heart attack...shut everyone up including my sister the nurse (she knows everything, just ask her) by walking TWICE around the entire ward floor instead of down the hall & back...he is still tough as nails !

[@amyk159]

Really? I remember him saying,"I was twelve going on thirteen first time I saw a dead human being.It happened in the summer of nineteen-fifty-nine. A long time ago, But only if you measure in terms of years. I was living in a small town in Oregon called Castle Rock. There were only 1281 people, but to me it was the whole world.

[@rebeccacrewemusic3743]

Funny, I was 8 years old, the first time I heard this song. My dad was picking me up from school and this was the song playing in his car. Initially, I told him to change it. He said "Listen to it, one day it's going to mean something to ya." That day came to me a long time ago and I've appreciated it ever since. I'm so grateful that my dad showed my the good stuff. ❤

He is an amazing man. he has always had the working-classes back. Still today he fights for us.

[@stillwanttowander6819]

Bruce is a legend. And this song is the one that hits me the most. I was a kid in the early 80s in the Quad Cities when the farm crisis hit the agricultural machine manufacturers like John Deere. Thousands laid off. I remember the downtown stores shutting their doors. Just like Bruce writes in his song. Thank you, Bruce, for being the voice of a generation.

[@alettahouserhargiskywaharg4337]

Farm family here also. We struggled to feed the world all when going broke ourselves

[@aaronhuisinga2531]

Same man. My Dad worked for John Deere in Ottumwa at that time. I remember sitting on his lap steering the wheel in this old Ford flatbed saying, get an education son. The factory jobs like mine won't be around when you're my age. my Grandfather died walking out of that factory. My father died of cancer from the chemicals talking about going back to the factory when he got better, knowing damn well he wouldn't. In a way it's sad, but there is something said for that type of dedication. Not only my Dad and Grandpa, but my Great-grand father, Grandmother, and two of my uncles dedicated their lives to that place. Even at 4 and 5 years old I remember everyone so worried about losing their farms and jobs, and on top of that the droughts and tornados were so bad during that time southeast Iowa was a mess.

[@mrsl9600]

I'll be 59 Saturday. These were the days to grow up. Poor, but you didn't know it. Free, but you didn't know it could change. I wish so bad we could resurrect these days and our children and grandchildren could taste it.

During Covid 19 I still work, from home, but as a friend of mine in Brazil wrote we've all fallen down the rabbit hole. I rediscovered music I took for granted when young -- a bunch of friends in March 2020 began sharing inspiring videos music books films; there well may be a second wave but the lesson I learned was look out for your fellow man. Lost contact with my only living relative a sister entirely my fault; can't change it, just do my best by everyone else. I find the sheer power of this 3rd album of Springsteen (Kennedy Center Honors don't miss Jon Stewart and Sting!) a huge boost; also My Back Pages live Harrison, Clapton Neil Young Dylan Tom Petty missed some people -- collaboration unique, and so on...

I'm 44 years old and I bawl like a baby every single time I hear this song. The very first song I ever heard through a pair of old school earmuff headphones, was Born In The U.S.A. My dad put them on my head and turned the stereo up to 10 before he hit play. And then LAUGHED AND LAUGHED. I've LOVED Born In The U.S.A ever since. Lol This one is particulalry tuff for me to listen to though, cuz my dad used to work for the local news paper in my home town. So I never ran with a nickle in my hand. But I definitely ran to get a paper FROM my old man MANY MANY times. And the kicker, was that he had a Buick Regal named Dixie that he would let me steer though town while he gleemed and talked about how proud of our gorgeous little slice of heaven town (Gananoque, Ont.

In the mid eighties my Dad/Foster Dad, my big brother and I were waiting for the truck to arrive and we had this album playing while Dad was reading his Louis Lamour book and to our surprise he put his book down and as this song was playing he got a year in his eyes. We were aligned across the warehouse door with Dad in the middle and when the song finished, " This is your hometown" That's when this song became my favorite song after that and when I play this song it brings me back to Bella Coola.

There's something so authentic about him and his music. I was ten years old when this album came out. Even at a tender age I knew his music was special. It still moistens my eyes. Timeless.

[@teekott7225]

You did not.

[@Jaqvander]

The something that's authentic about him, is just him being authentic.

I was 17 when this record came out in the summer 0f '84. It was so much than just a record. Springsteen created a signpost for a generation. He was at his peak here. Beyond brilliant, an absolute genius with words and music. One of the greatest entertainers ever. So glad this was my generation, I remember...

My Hometown - Bruce Springsteen (lyrics) I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand into the busstop to pick up a paper for my old man I'd sit on his lap in that big old Buick and steer as we drove through town He'd tousle my hair and say son take a good look around this is your hometown This is your hometown This is your hometown This is your hometown In '65 tension was running high at my highschool There was a lot of fights between the black and white There was nothing you could do Two cars at a light on a Saturday night in the back seat there was a gun Words were passed, and a shotgun blast Troubled times had come, to my hometown My hometown My hometown My hometown Now Main Street's white washed windows and vacant stores seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more They closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks Foreman says these jobs are going, boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown Your hometown Your hometown Your hometown Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out Packing up our bags maybe heading south I'm 35, we got a boy of our own now Last night I sat him up, behind a wheel and said son take a good look around this is your hometown

He's one of the best "Story Tellers". He paints a vivid picture with his words.

[@firdausHITMAN]

+MissDistarr60 Yes, he does. Mark Knopfler is another true genius who never ceases to inspire and create timeless music.

[@MissDistarr60]

STRATMAN firdaus I could not agree with you more. In fact Knopfler4 is my absolute favorite. There are may be 2 handfuls of truly brilliant songwriters and these 2 gentlemen are at the top. And Knopfler is a genius with the guitar. He has his own unique style and sound. He plays from the bottom of his soul. Flying fingers and a lot of sound don't always a genius guitarist make. He moves me miles with his music.

[@firdausHITMAN]

MissDistarr60 Spot on. Music and guitar playing is not a sport, as most seem to propagate by stating oh! such and such is better because he plays "fast" or is more "technical" etc. To me its all about how much passion and true feeling one can release through the instrument and the music. Mark Knopfler who is not only gifted with tremendous virtuosity but at the core of his playing and music is pure soul, passion, blood, sweat and tears. Thereby it hits the depths of your soul when you listen to his genius. Sorry to ramble on...

[@kzachmann1]

My dad worked as a stock person for the A&P during the Great Depression. He was allowed to bring home almost spoiled food from work and he made enough money to keep the lights on and to pay tuition for night School at Newark College of Engineering. He kept his mom, dad, and brother off of public support, and in 5 years he graduated as an electrical engineer. What a great father figure...his example motivated me to work three jobs to make sure my kids would graduate without college debt. They both played soccer for Towson and now they too are making the sacrifices necessary to properly provide for children. Sadly, no matter how hard they work the costs of raising a family rise faster than salaries. Ironically, the people who work three jobs don't get the deductions for college expenses as it is income-qualified. The world Bruce champions honors independence, hard work, sacrifice, and a true moral compass. Sadly, my grandchildren will have to find their way through a very different world. We are a divided nation that just can't abide by the new commandment Jesus gave us the night they took him ... "love your neighbor as I have loved you." Through his lyrics, Bruce reminds us of the human struggles that define our lives, and through Grace, we find our way.
