"a bummer song by somebody else" turned into a bar of gold by opening the song for us to look at. What a power. Many lives are like this messy story, mine is. It neednt have been this way.

Mary brought this song to a level that everyone can actually understand what it's about! I've heard this song since MTV days & this is THE FIRST time I've heard the song. "A bummer song written by somebody else.. " Too funny...

This made me really respect Bruce Springsteen as a songwriter. Everyone knows his version, Clarence Clemons, Courtney Cox dancing, its high energy...this version makes the lyrics, which are really really sad really resonate.

This is SUCH a powerful, lonely, rich version of this song... I'm really blown away by the completely different messages from this one song by her and Bruce. His is celebratory and hers is like it's coming from a lonely someone 2 minutes away from suicide... It's incredible...

If angels are real...I envision they would look and sound like Mary Chapin Carpenter...she has that innocent lovely effect...an almost surreal majestic effect where I wonder if humans can really be that beautiful in heart and soul. A siren's voice that can charm you into not giving up on life...even amid a pandemic where we are loading thousands of souls into refrigerated trucks to be hauled away without a last goodbye...

@@JamesHarris-hl2bm Actually, as much as I love MCC, and I do, her cover of Passionate Kisses actually prevented me from diving into her music for a long time. I'd heard good things about her, but I thought that was way too tame and smooth compared to Lucinda's version. Glad I gave Mary a 2nd look, though. She is an American treasure.

She's still around. Unfortunately, they don't play smart songs that require thinking anymore, and since she's not 20, and since she's not in tacky videos, looking cheap, they're not interested. Sad.

To all who appreciate the "different perspective", I submit my thesis that it shows a contrast between female pathos and male pathos. But yeah, I totally agree with everyone who said it opened up the lyrics of the song. That was my experience, and the reason why I subjected my reaction to deeper scrutiny.

@gailwilliams2678
@gailwilliams2678 8 жыл бұрын
It's a "bummer song" because it's about loneliness, and the desperate need to do almost anything to ease the feeling, even if it's only temporary. I remember those feelings, and actions, from the late 70s - early 80s.

This is the 2nd song from Born in the USA that Bruce Springsteen gave uptempo music to but the lyrics are not very upbeat. The other is the title song. I love this version of the song and I keep hoping that someday he will do an acoustic version of this song.
