While Springsteen's subsequent releases would yield
and succeed to differences of their own, Born To Run
was and has always been held up as his most
momentous recording. It was with this album that
Springsteen's songs first portrayed a glorious yet very
real side of the suffering American, down on his luck,
with his dreams shattered and hopes lost. In 1975,
much of rock and roll isolated itself from that type of
politicizing. Rock, of course, took a dramatic turn in the
next couple years, and was shaken down to its visceral
roots. Born To Run could have very well launched a
new form of consciousness toward the excessive styles
of music without even trying.
Inevitably, the entire album falls onto the shoulders of
the title track. The song, "Born To Run," reverberates
with a strange glow of sustained optimism and mystique,
all wrapped in a riddle that sort of evolves into an
enigmatic anthem.
