I always expect to overplay this song, but then whenever I put it on it rattles my heart as if I'm hearing it for the first time. Especially as a modern day teenager, this song makes me feel reckless, and that something big is waiting to happen.
You will never feel more alive than at a Bruce Springsteen show . . . He empties the tank every single time and gives you everything he’s got. And that’s all you can ask. Remarkable.
for 18yrs I have lived in a country that persecutes the working man.....my skills have benefited the fucking useless and taken almost every penny that me and my wife could have had.....my ship has just come in.....this song has been my support......no more will I give to the useless and the lazy .......sorry guys, you'll just have to ponce off of somebody else......Bruce- thanks man for giving me the strength to make it.....
Every time I listen to this man perform live , I feel regenerated physically and emotionally . Come and play some more my friend . I need regenerating .
As a 17 year old with autism, severe anxiety and depression, who feels like he is going to achieve nothing and hates the town he lives in cause it’s a black hole that sucks the life out of everyone, this song is one thing that helps me get up every day.

One of the best things that ever happened to me was when my dad brought home the We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions album in 2006. 13 years and 11 Bruce Springsteen shows later, i have never grown tired of this man's music, and I never will
"Blow away the dreams that tear you apart, blow away the dreams that break your heart, blow away the lies that leave you nothing, but lost and brokenhearted" I believe these lyrics are timeless, amazing songwriting.
