More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I was looking for some way to put my music to some service on a nightly basis. You go into a town, you play a little music, you leave something behind. That idea connected us to the local community. It was a very simple idea, but it really resonated with me.
Bruce Springsteen
I was in my late 20s, in the process of shaping my musical outlook and what I wanted it to be about, when I first encountered Woody Guthrie.
Bruce Springsteen
You weren't supposed to hear Elvis Presley. You weren't supposed to hear Jerry Lee Lewis. You weren't supposed to hear Robert Johnson. You weren't supposed to hear Hank Williams. And they told the story of the secret America.
Bruce Springsteen
Born down in a dead man's town, The first kick I took was when I hit the ground, You end up like a dog that's been beat too much, Till you spend half your life just covering up...
Bruce Springsteen
Walk tall, or baby don't walk at all.
Bruce Springsteen
You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.
Bruce Springsteen
You ask for your audience's investment in your music you're in a relationship with them. And their relationship with the E Street Band is separate from whatever else I might do. I like the idea of us being something that people rely on.
Bruce Springsteen
I go to put my arm around you and you give me a look like I'm way out of bounds.
Bruce Springsteen
The Jersey Shore is the kind of place where the policeman has a little cottage that might have been in the family for years and many other people call home.
Bruce Springsteen
We said we'd walk together baby come what may.That come the twilight should we lose our way.If as we're walkin a hand should slip free,I'll wait for you And should I fall behind,Wait for me.
Bruce Springsteen
The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.
Bruce Springsteen
I never start with a political point of view. I believe that your politics are emotionally and psychologically determined by your early experiences.
Bruce Springsteen
At night I wake up with my sheets soaking wet and a freight train running through the middle of my head.
Bruce Springsteen
This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for.
Bruce Springsteen
So I bought a forty-four magnum, it was solid steel cast, and in the blessed name of Elvis, well I just let it blast 'til my TV lay in pieces.
Bruce Springsteen
Every good writer or filmmaker has something eating at them, right? That they can't quite get off their back . And so your job is to make your audience care about your obsessions.
Bruce Springsteen
If I have a song that I feel is really one of my best songs, I like it to have a formal studio recording because I believe that something being officially released on a studio record gives it a certain authority that it doesn't quite have if it comes out on a live album or is just a part of your show, you know.
Bruce Springsteen
An unfulfilled life makes a hard man.
Bruce Springsteen
You get used to anything, sooner or later it just becomes your life.
Bruce Springsteen
You can beat on your chest, hell, any monkey can.
