In his top 10 written songs of all time as far as I am concerned...and that really is saying something.

" y allí estaba aquel anciano huyendo de la oz de la muerte viendo a través de la ventana la lluvia caer ante sus ojos Su cuerpo degastado meciendose lentamente en aquella antigua mecedora.... En aquella sala acompañada de viejas fotos y rancios recuerdos! Solo eso , recuerdos del ayer. Recuerdos que iban y venian como luces intermitentes. Destellantes y sin control. El anciano no sabía en su soledad , el significado de las horas y los dias. Si la vida era un bucle que se tepetia dia tras día , y en esa espera por su partida toma con nostalgia aquel café recien colado. La neblina cubria su vieja casa al mismo tiempo que su alma. Esperando el tan anhelado adios! Zamir Sánchez Gracias a Bruce Springsteen por esta hermosa canción que me sirvio de inspiración para estos humildes versos.

This song is just one of so many beautiful Bruce classics . . . and as much as Bruce says he’s not the best pianist I love watching him play.

A true springsteen classic

One of the best favorite Bruce's song. Everytime i have tears in my eyes .. Bruce, thank you for your Job, what doing for your fans. We love you ! Greetings from Czech Republic .

[@edbeckett5627]

I saw Bruce for the first time on the Chicken Scratch tour in between Born to Run and Darkness. This was the final encore - incredible then, incredible now.

[@kevhawker]

Wow, what an amazing time to have seen him. This song definitely stands the test of time.

The Promise ,paroles et musique de Bruce Springsteen Johny works in a factory Billy works downtown Terry works in a rock and roll band Looking for that million dollar sound I got a job down in Darlington Some nights I don't go Some nights I go to the drive-in And some nights I stay home I followed that dream just like those guys do way up on the screen Drove my Challenger down Route 9 through the dead ends and all the bad scenes And the promise was broken Cashed in a few of my dreams Well I built that Challenger by myself But I needed money and so I sold it Lived a secret I should've kept to myself But I got drunk one night and I told it All my life, I fought that fight The fight that you can't win Every day it just gets harder to live A dream you're believing in Thunder Road Baby, you were so right Thunder Road Something dying down on the highway tonight Well I won big once and I hit the coast Yeah, but I paid the cost Inside I felt like I was carrying broken spirits Of all the other ones who lost The promise is broken, you go on living It steals something from down in your soul And when the truth is spoken and it don't make no difference Something in your heart goes cold I followed that dream through the southwestern tracks That dead ends in the two-bit bars The promise was broken, I was far away from home Sleeping in the back seat of a borrowed car Thunder Road is for the lost lovers and all the fixed games Thunder Road is for the tires rushing by in the rain Thunder Road, me and Billy we'd always sing Thunder Road, take it all and throw it all away

Incident on 57th Street is another "better than great" story and song. What do you think about this?

[@mikaelpruttsson1818]

Thank you! Where can I find this song, wich album?

[@kevhawker]

It was an unreleased, lost 'classic' for a long time, originally written for Darkness On The Edge Of Town but not included. It then finally got a release on '18 Tracks', a shortened compilation style album of never before released songs. Played a few times live since, there are also other versions out there including a full band version which is beautiful too. Check out the Darkness on the Edge of town boxset which bears its name.

@@kevhawker Thank you for answer! Today I listened to the album "The promise", many great songs there. 🙂
