Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen

Artist Biography For Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen (born September 23, 1949) is an American singer and songwriter. He has released 21 studio albums, most of which feature his backing band, the E Street Band. Originally from the Jersey Shore, he is an originator of heartland rock, combining mainstream rock musical styles with narrative songs about working class American life. Nicknamed "the Boss", his career has spanned six decades. Springsteen is known for his poetic, socially conscious lyrics and energetic stage performances, sometimes lasting up to four hours. In 1973, Springsteen released his first two albums, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, neither of which earned him a large audience. He changed his style and reached worldwide popularity with Born to Run in 1975. It was followed by Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978) and The River (1980), which topped the US Billboard 200 chart. After the solo recording, Nebraska (1982), he reunited with the E Street Band for Born in the U.S.A. (1984), his most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums of all time. Seven of its singles reached the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100, including the title track. Springsteen recorded his next three albums, Tunnel of Love (1987), Human Touch (1992), and Lucky Town (1992) using mostly session musicians. He reassembled the E Street Band for 1995's Greatest Hits, then recorded the sparse acoustic The Ghost of Tom Joad, followed by the EP Blood Brothers (1996), his last release of the decade. Springsteen dedicated his 2002 album The Rising to the victims of the September 11 attacks. He released two more folk albums, Devils & Dust (2005) and We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions (2006), followed by two more albums with the E Street Band: Magic (2007) and Working on a Dream (2009). The next two, Wrecking Ball (2012) and High Hopes (2014), topped album charts worldwide. His latest releases include the solo Western Stars (2019), the E Street Band-featuring Letter to You (2020) and a solo cover album Only the Strong Survive (2022). When Letter to You went to No.2 in the US, Springsteen became the first artist to score a Top Five hit across six consecutive decades. Among the album era's prominent acts, Springsteen has sold more than 140 million records worldwide and more than 71 million in the United States, making him one of the world's best-selling music artists. He has earned numerous awards for his work, including 20 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, an Academy Award, and a Special Tony Award (for Springsteen on Broadway). Springsteen was inducted into both the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2009, named MusiCares person of the year in 2013, and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2016. He ranked 23rd on Rolling Stone's list of the Greatest Artists of All Time, which described him as being "the embodiment of rock & roll".

Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Born to Run

Born To Run Is The Signature Song Of The American Singer Songwriter Bruce Springsteen And The Title Song Of His Album Born To Run. Written In A Small House In Long Branch New Jersey In Early 1974 The Song Was Bruce Springsteen's Last-Ditch Effort To Make It Big. The Prior Year Springsteen Had Released Two Albums To Critical Acclaim But With Little Commercial Success. The Lyrics To The Song Are Appropriately Epic For His Last-Ditch All-Or-Nothing Shot At The Stars Yet They Remain Rooted In The Universal Desperation Of Adolescence We Gotta Get Out While We're Young 'cause Tramps Like Us Baby We Were Born To Run. Written In The First Person The Song Is A Love Letter To A Girl Named Wendy Wendy Let Me In I Wanna Be Your Friend I Wanna Guard Your Dreams And Visions... I Wanna Die With You Wendy On The Streets Tonight/in An Everlasting Kiss! For Whom The Motorcycle-Riding Protagonist Certainly Has Enough Passion To Love But Perhaps Not The Patience. However Springsteen Has Noted That It Has A Much Simpler Core Getting Out Of Asbury Park. In Recording The Song Springsteen First Earned His Noted Reputation For Perfectionism Laying Down As Many As Eleven Guitar Tracks To Get The Sound Just Right. The Recording Process And Alternate Ideas For The Song's Arrangement Are Described In The Wings For Wheels Documentary DVD Included In The 2005 Reissue Born To Run 30th Anniversary Edition Package. The Track Was Recorded At 914 Sound Studios In Blauvelt New York Amidst Touring Breaks During 1974 With Final Recording Done On August 6 Well In Advance Of The Rest Of The Album And Featured Ernest "Boom" Carter On The Drums And David Sancious On Keyboards They Would Be Replaced By Max Weinberg And Roy Bittan For The Rest Of The Album And In The Ongoing E Street Band Which Was Still Uncredited On Springsteen's Records At The Time . The Song Was Also Recorded With Only Springsteen And Mike Appel As Producers It Would Be Later In The Following Year When Work On The Album Bogged Down That Jon Landau Was Brought In As An Additional Producer. In His 1996 Book Songs Springsteen Relates That While The Beginning Of The Song Was Written On Guitar Around The Opening Riff The Song's Writing Was Finished On Piano The Instrument That Most Of The Born To Run Album Was Composed On. In The Period Prior To The Release Of Born To Run Springsteen Was Becoming Well-Known Especially In His Native Northeast For His Epic Live Shows. "Born To Run" Joined His Concert Repertoire Well Before The Release Of The Album Being Performed In Concert By May 1974 If Not Earlier.
