About This Track

“The River” became a centerpiece of shows on some Springsteen tours. On the ‘Born in the U.S.A.’ tour, it was often preceded by a long, intense story from Springsteen about his battles with his father growing up, that would sometimes conclude in a good ending and sometimes not; the silence after the story would then be interrupted by the start of the harmonica part.

    This song tells a story that just strikes one as true - and deep. Real people bouncing around in a real world not really understanding but trying their damnedest.

    Lyrically has to be one of the best songs ever. Springsteen's writing is breathtaking in general tbh.

    I'm really excited to see him this summer, this is my favourite song of his, in fact, it's probably one of the songs that got me into Brucie to begin with.
