Bruce Springsteen cytaty

„To, co mnie zawsze najbardziej interesowało w historiach opowiadanych przez moich bohaterów, to ich psychologiczne podejście do problemów, z jakimi się stykają. Zawsze zadają sobie pytania, co kieruje naszym postępowaniem, co wpływa na nasze zachowanie, do jakiego stopnia potrafimy je kontrolować, panować nad impulsami. Usiłuję dociec, nie tylko jak dalece rozumiem samego siebie, ale też co kieruje naszym wyborem danego dnia. Pytam, czy ludziom dobrym zdarza się zrobić coś złego, czy człowiek zły może zdobyć się na dobry uczynek. To może być strażnik graniczny z Across the Border, zwalniany robotnik z Youngstown czy bohater Sinaloa Cowboys.”

„Staram się nie powtarzać. Wiem, to najtrudniejsze zadanie. Szczególnie dla kogoś, kto jest na scenie muzycznej już od ponad 25 lat. Trzeba szukać sposobu spojrzenia na świat inaczej, z innego punktu widzenia. Czasami to przynosi rezultaty w postaci nowych piosenek, czasami nie. Na tym polega twoja praca, na pogłębianiu tematów, poszerzaniu pola widzenia. Na pisaniu wciągających opowiadań i wkładaniu ich w historię prawdziwych narratorów, by odbiorca słuchał i myślał: tak, to prawda, takie jest życie.”

Bruce Springsteen: Cytaty po angielsku

“It's rainin' but there ain't a cloud in the sky;
Musta been a tear from your eye.
Everything'll be okay.
Funny, thought I felt a sweet summer breeze;
Musta been you sighin' so deep.
Don't worry we're gonna find a way.”

Ralph went out lookin' for a job but he couldn't find none.
He came home too drunk from mixin' Tanqueray and wine.
He got a gun shot a night clerk now they call'm Johnny 99.”

Q magazine (August 1992)

“Then I got Mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote.
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat.
We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest.
No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle,
No flowers no wedding dress.That night we went down to the river.
And into the river we'd dive.
Oh down to the river we did ride.”

Pulled his gun and got the drop.
He said "Pete you think you've changed but you have not."”

“Everybody's got a hunger, a hunger they can't resist;
There's so much that you want, you deserve much more than this.

But this ain't no dream we're living through tonight.
Girl, you want it, you take it, you pay the price.”

Blow away the dreams that break your heart.
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted.”

You used to love to drive me wild,

“Now I know your mama she don't like me 'cause I play in a rock and roll band.
And I know your daddy he don't dig me but he never did understand.
Papa lowered the boom, he locked you in your room;
I'm comin' to lend a hand.
I'm comin' to liberate you, confiscate you, I want to be your man.
Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny.”

Bruce Springsteen Talking

“Laying here in the dark you're like an angel on my chest,
Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness.
Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see?
Trying to learn how to walk like heroes we thought we had to be.
And after all this time to find we're just like all the rest,
Stranded in the park and forced to confess
To hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets.
We swore forever friends on the backstreets until the end,
Hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets.”

If I'm a fool, I'll be a fool.
