What ruined this song a little bit for me is the live show arrangement, where a child is (reluctantly) pulled up on stage to sing the simple chorus with mr Springsteen himself. However, it wasn't...

Das klassische Liebeslied von Bruce Springsteen ist kein konventionelles Märchen, das sentimental und romantisch ist. Es ist eher eine realistische Darstellung des Alltags, die sich aus Herzschmerz und Leidenschaft, Hass und Verlangen, Ehe und Trennung zusammensetzt.
