Lyrics:
It's the same thing night on night
Who's wrong, baby? Who's right?
Another fight and I slam the door on
Another battle in our dirty little war
When I look at myself I don't see
The man I wanted to be
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back

The Tunnel of Love album is a masterpiece
Sucks that you never anything off of that album anymore.
And he had a number of outakes that were wonderful.
@@OliveOyl12590 hear*
@@CB-xr1eg Thank you, Clive. I was double parked when I posted that response.
All his albums are masterpieces .
One step up, off drugs....2steps back, back on drugs.....Not the Man I wanted to be. This song helped incredibly. 2 Years clean. :)
Two years off vodka for me. I do miss the beer though. Oh well, still a much better man for it.
Proud of you, brother.
AMEN. KEEP SWINGING BROTHER!!!
keep doing you
What can we say
The Boss
I think the Boss has two kinds of fans: those that love him for his epic energy on stage and those that listen to his lyrics and know he is one of the finest poets that ever lived.
I think there's a third kind that appreciates both the rocker and the poet.
You're both right I listen for all three!
U make a good point. I'm 54. When I was younger, it was the rock vibe. Now it's the poet vibe. Either way, he gets ya! I love him.
@@staceycornelius8220 I was born in 1999. When he realized Born To Run (1975) my father was just 5 years old. I'm from Argentina, so.. i never could see him live, but i watch every possible video. I love him, is my idol. And i love him as rocker and as a poet.
Really fell said Laura and for guys that Love Bruce ...I am 71 years old ... WE would follow him in to BATTLE .... literally .... a LEADER with Dignity .... and a moral compass ....
When I was in my 20s I thought this was just a cool song but now I’m 60 and it takes on a whole new meaning, haunting actually
So true,his best tune I think anyway.
Very haunting indeed 💔🎶✌🏻
This song is epic it reminds me of how things were and now it brings me great memories but I do get a tear in my eyes I am 63 wow luv this have a great day
It really hits home and I wonder if I missed my chance at happiness and a loving husband!
Most people will never admit they made a mockery of their marriage but Bruce owns it. Not sure to think little of him or respect him.
I am Japanese born in Japan. I get to know America and Americans through him, and through that I get to know Japan deeply. Thank you Boss.
🍻
Great Taste in Music ❤️…. Music… Humanity’s Greatest Creation
That's the best way.
Sugoi. 👍
This is one of those songs that comes on the radio when you're driving between Albuquerque and Amarillo at 2 am and you're the only one awake and it throws so many memories into your mind, its gut wrenching and pleasant at the same time.
Been there and done that, right around Clovis.
Yes
Know exactly what you mean
I can can picture this so well
Pull over and take a nap !!
This is right up there with Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" as the most heartbreaking song of all time.
George Michael did a beautiful version of that song. Haunting
Both are the story of my life, sadly enough.
“Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms- the music was never ending- We danced as the evening sky faded to black…. One step up & two steps back.” Maybe the most relatable and beautiful lyric about missing someone and dreaming of their presence
"when i look at myself i dont see the man i wanted to be, somewhere along the line i slipped off track" damn that lyric always hits hard.
Nicholas Chester You’re Not Alone Brother!
And we all call it .....
A lot of us...
Especially when you’ve felt that way before
I like " there's a girl across the bar, get the message she's sending" and "another battle in our dirty little war." No fucking way you can write that without living it.
When I look at myself I don't see the kind of man I wanted to be! Saddest line in any song ever!
I feel every letter of every word of this song
♥️♥️♥️
Yeah I no that pain
And we call it .....
I m a music gal send me ur best
This is a song Bruce wrote when his marriage to Julianne Phillips was going south. They ended up divorcing a year later. What's haunting is that his future wife Patti Scialfa is singing backup. They had an affair and Bruce owned up to it and also admitted he was the cause of the divorce. He married Patti in 1991 and they are still married. I don't condone adultery but Bruce was with the wrong woman and he found the right one and everything turned out great. I think 3 kids too. I love this song. I don't even know why -- I can't relate to it. I'm happily marrried 17 years and no adultery :) Thanks for a great song, Bruce.
As long as you don't judge. We don't know everything that happens in other people's relationships. There is only one true judge.
Because it doesn't necessarily mean adultery. All of us take one step up and 2 steps back in life.
Hard to make a marriage work when 3 folks are in it. He Julianne, who was young, knieve and beautiful inside and out, still it too. and then there was Patty.
And now we have this song
I agree Kevin. I was married for 40 years when my husband died. It has been 7 years and I miss him so much. I love this song and yes I remember that Bruce and Patti fell in love on the road. He and Julianne werent a good match but he is happy now and its all good. Sometimes you find the right person the first t ime and sometimes you dont. I fell in love with my husband when we were in high school and i was 16. Married at 18.
Not a huge Bruce fan, but this is without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. I was 19 when it came out and all these years later it still packs an emotional punch like so few songs can.
HE DIDN'T WRITE IT!!! IT'S A COVER FROM THE DESERT ROSE BAND!!! ALTHO I LOVE HIS RENDITION...❤
@@rubymccaslin6841 Wrong.
@@rubymccaslin6841he did write it and others have covered it after. Its litteraly about his first mariage that failled. Learn your facts. And btw you can simply look it up. Wikipedia my friend 😉
You're feeling it. Good for you. Which means you're a good human being.
I’m not either but this is beautiful
This song has always been devastating. I could feel the raw pain in it even when I was a kid. The music is hauntingly beautiful and it's a masterpiece that's classy and down to earth at the same time. At the end when there's just a wall of sound and his voice harmonizing I just wish it went on forever.
It does go on forever, been the story of my life from being a teenager, and nothing has changed, although these days it's more like 3 steps back! I'll be listening to it until, well, I hope they have Massive speakers in heaven.
Hello beautiful heather
Stripper bar? That's classy? Lol....I loved the finger picking on the guitar- it's hypnotic. Our boy Bruce got down from hero mountain to join the rest of us. He fell in love and he couldn't make it work. He became human, that's why "One Step" resonates so strong..Cause this time he wasn't observing, he was in it. It's all over his face in the video, he won't even look directly at the camera. I would sit in the bar, meeting women, having a great time, drinking beer from a glass shaped like a boot. But I was still getting over her three years down the line. I had some tragic romantic vibe going that the women liked. You get over it, you have to. But it marks you, I'm sure Bruce Springsteen would agree with that. "One Step up and two steps back."
GOOD. Good MUSIC will find *ONLY* good people.. i've notice *That* , you know? ;) I was just twenty when *THIS* record came..-87. It *Hit* me then Like 'so many times after that ( so many relationships as *one* Mans'life will.. enter). Its a Great piece of Music. With *HumanTouch* in those lyrics.. Everlasting tale of human heart..'bitter n'sweet'..so Good. Thats why its *so* Good MUSIC, you know.
I start doing bit of myOwn music.. in about around thirty years old.. yeah. First in english ('tho *not* my native language.. ;) then bit swedish, and latest in greece. Just for *Fun* 'for mySelf,too;))'.
Thats Good. GOOD Music and *Thing,too..* th-cam.com/video/etqHq7FAJVk/w-d-xo.html ..you know. GOOD *for* mySoul.. (JUST *Like* ..SUMMER *after* Long hard winter.. 'Up'n here.. *KYMI-river* yo'know..;)
“When I look at myself I don’t see, the man I wanted to be …” 💔
Melancholy moments. Reminiscing on the past. Questions of your self. Past self. Future self. The relationships in your life. Fuck man. Bruce tells the story of what we all go through. Love. Loss. Hard times. Dreams. Where its at.
You have described it perfectly. Top Man.
You got it man
spot on mate
We gotta' live in the present in the end....it's all we have.....So Bruce's character is dwelling on the past too much, as we all seem to tend to do....but what's the use? Learn the lesson and go quick back to the NOW and LIVE NOW....
Yes!
Born in 1970. Liked the tune as a senior in high school but only saw and felt the depth of this years and years later. I can only imagine how this must have hit home to a man 30-50 years old in 1987. It’s amazing how time changes our perspective.
Yes… 69 years old now… welcome to to having the strength and love to make a relationship work ❤️. His lyrics speak to life
@@jamesgannon6192
Or maybe the acceptance of your own shortcomings as a man and an acceptance of your sins. Anyone can write a song about love lost by the failings of another but this song speaks to his own failure and where he fell short in his own expectations of himself. There can be regret for love lost but it doesn’t hurt near as much or cut near as deep as love lost due to your own bad decisions or fault. He did it to himself. It will haunt him. The lyric I didn’t hear at 17 but I hear and feel at 53.
Yes he owned his mistakes… the tunnel of love is an undiscovered masterpiece for many Bruce fans. To me the important thing is to understand your flaws and try to make yourself better. And if the person who Really Loves You and knows that you are Trying… Then there’s Always Hope ❤️
I was born in 1988,my father was listening to this when he was 27 in 1987
Age and Wisdom comes with Experience ❤️. Amen 🙏
This is another great example of Springsteens incredible songwriting. A song like this can take you back in time.
This IS my absolute favorite song by Bruce. He sings it with true experience. He really exposed his heart on this one. Everytime I hear it, I have to replay it 3 or 4 times.
I think he ended up with the right woman in the end.
@@ana1sninja, I have to agree with you on that one. But man! This song has the same effect on me whenever I hear ABBA's,; "The Winner Takes it Akl"...straight through the heart with emotion.
100%
Yes same here
Love You Bruce 💘😻🇧🇷🎸🎤💘💯🔥
This song was beautifully written, when it first came out I really liked it. Now I understand the lyrics so much better, life has taught me so many lessons.
So true Cindy.... :)
Amen Cindy
Truth
Absolutely
Agree. I remember loving this song as a teenager but not appreciating the meaning, and the subtleness and skill of his lyrics until adulthood.
One of his finest songs. Very underrated album. He’s surely one of the most brutaly honest songwriters regarding himself and his failings.
“I’m the same old story same old act….
…When i look at myself I don’t see
The man i wanted to be.
Somewhere along the line i slipped off track.”
I'd be honored if some Springsteen fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performance DANCING IN THE DARK in tribute to Bruce's biggest world-wide hit. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and stay safe in the '020s.
An absolute masterpiece....
One of the saddest (and most beautiful) records ever made--it never fails to hit me right where it counts!
Kidd Oldman same here
Beautiful song about relationships that don't always go how we planned x
Bruce has a habit of hitting me in the feels, moonlight motel gets me every time
Think it's more that it becomes true as you age and realize time just blew by.
Preach it.
As soon as it doesn’t “hit me right where it counts”, it’s time to end.
The guy he says hello to when he walks in the bar passed away in Bradley beach where I was a police officer at the time. Right next to Asbury park. We had to find a next of kin and during our search I found a newspaper article hanging up that talked about how he was in this video! After we located his family I put this video on TH-cam and we all noticed his face and thought it was awesome. I hope hes resting in peace. He was a good guy.
Jay Gee Great story, Jay. Thanks for sharing it. He looks like a good guy. Take care, buddy!
Sir your a good one!
Hey jayyyee wow incredible story I'm going to see bruce next mon April 15th Albany NY MPV arena he's changed my life I'm not the same Eric I was 5 years ago and yes asbury park coming down this summer on NJ TRANSIT RAILROAD!
This is so painfully beautiful. Just a masterpiece of heartache and doubt when the love of your life breaks your heart.
The very last part always seems to bring me to tears. It feels like two wounded souls who have hurt each other so much yet still love each other.
So true see my comment above
One of his greatest songs. So heartbreakingly haunting.
Andrew McClenning The production was spot on. I dug this album... Love his old stuff too. He's a great artist.
Yes this...
most heartbreaking video of his, you can "feel" the pain..hence why he is The Boss
I certainly do keep making the same mistakes even when I try not to
A song to his kids . . . and a selfie.
One of the most honest and bravest song's ever.
Definitely, a man admitting he was cheating while still married. It's life... What I didn't like about this album was Two Faces Have I, where he tries to blame some sort of other man, his bad version, on his cheating. At least that is how it comes across.
@blair Macdonald copy that 10-4
Absolutely Blair! Btw What d'you think of this one? th-cam.com/video/1b85V2p4puw/w-d-xo.html&list=PLWehun4PmMf_00nsBZDretT5gHW_zhBeb
" when I look at myself-I don't see the man I wanted to be" says alot ..great lyrics but what else do you expect...musical genius
One of the most underrated song writers ever doesn't write angst songs but writes life
Cept he isn't underrated at all...
Listened to this the day after my high school girlfriend and I broke up - Summer of 1988. You never forget your first love.
tis true you never do.
I met my first true love when I was 45 years old. Together seven years. She’s remarried and lives in another state. I will likely never see her again. Hard to comprehend.
Sure you do.
You sure don’t. I haven’t forgotten mine, and that was 30 years ago. Took him back a few times over the years, and he just kept me around to string me along. Then we had a massive fight that turned physical on his part. I wasn’t going down that rabbit hole, as he hurt me enough. Haven’t seen him in 15 years, and I’ll probably never see him again. Sad because at one time I loved him
Women don't remember their first love.
One of the best Bruce songs ever.
best songs ever.*
Jim Davis AMEN
THE WAY THE BOSS MAKES YOU FEEL IS LIKE KINDA JZX BROWN BUT IN A DIFFER WAY W THEM BOTH
I agree.
One of mine too
when I look at myself, I don't see the man I want to be............ so right, wow,
Nils Lofgren’s guitar work here, gives it a spooky quality that just seals this song for me, in the best way. Nils is a one of the most underrated guitarists in my opinion. Growing up in the 80’s I’ve always been a Bruce fan, but listening to his music 35 - 40 years later just makes me appreciate it that much more.
..and Patti's haunting vocals
Bruce played all the parts only Patti sang back up no other E street members played on this recording.
Bruce on the guitar as well as every other instrument
Nils Lofgren - greatest feel player of all time
⁰
One of my favorite Bruce songs. The “Tunnel of Love” album documented the breakup of his first marriage. It always amazes me how a good songwriter can take something as personal as the break-up of a marriage, and put it on a kind of “universal” feel to it, that anyone can relate to.
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms,
The music was never ending,
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
One step up, two steps back
I have a close friend that is a musician with songs that some big bands have used and he always told me the best song writing done is when someone is in pain. Fleetwood Mac did it as well. Bruce no doubt is one of the best lyrics writers out there. Him, Tom Petty, Stevie nicks just gold.
@@kevintate768 Different feel, but love him just as much, Phil Collins is another, in my opinion. Bob Seger, also my opinion, is the best song writer/lyricist of all time, but his are generally "upbeatish". Love mellencamp as well.
Ok I’m officially in love.
One of my favorite albums as well. Listened to it endlessly during the breakup of my marriage, contemplating how my life would end up raising a child on my own.
I always thought it was his way to say sorry to her for the breakup.
I’m a guy in my early 20’s and lots of people my age listen to modern music with no substance. I’m happy I can appreciate this song, amazing
I’m happy you can too! His music is universal.
Wow. what a shame. But you're correct !!!
I’m 26 and you are not alone … such a beautiful song.. so simple but hits home every time …
respect
I'm 22. Been listening to the Boss since I was a teenager. 💕
This song really touches the saddest parts of human life and culture. Disappointment, rejection, addiction, self-pity, regret…..it’s all there and we’ve all felt some of it. That why this song is so good. It uses music which opens us up to emotional reaction then kicks our ass with lyrics that we all could have written on a bad day. Nice job Bruce.
Pretty sure he was feeling the loss and failure of his first marriage when he wrote it. I may be wrong but I doubt it.
You are Correct… what I am most amazed by… is the fact after almost 40 years later…. People are her discussing this song and album… shows the power of Bruce and the impact he had on people’s lives ❤️
Heart breaking, true and hauntingly beautiful. IMHO, one of Springsteen's best.
I just turned 43 ...feeling older now for sure...have lost members of my family in the past few years...seems like life has just started to wilt sometimes but I am just now starting to truely discover Bruce's catalogue and am now at a place in my life where I can connect to it ...I've always appreciated Bruce growing up but wasn't mature enough to relate .
My life is different now and this music is deep and soulful.
God bless
Yes!!! W are probably close to the same age and I get it. I think it comes to us all in our mid 40s.
@@veronicapalmer1828Or maybe later.
Only 43…you have many good years ahead of you.
only when you have gone through a break up of a marriage can you begin to undetstand the true genius of this most underated song.
I can only guess at the pain
No, you do not have to make empirical science out of it. I was hardly 13, no pubis, when the album was published and allow myself to testify, sir, today, 30 years later, I understood and felt each and every fucking single letter Springsteen has written. He lead me to literature, arts und philosophy and is stll a basal inspriration for my work although I am not into music...
@@keithyj11 hope things are better it takes time brother best wishes
@@keithyj11 So very sorry. Prayers for you tonight. I pray God is healing you.
This song was popular during the worst breakup of my life. The breakup was my fault and this song helped ease the pain that was all of my own doing. It's bittersweet to listen to it today all of these years later.
If it helps you're not alone.
Talked to this girl back in high school. Would head to her house late at night on cold November nights. Rain or clear, would always drive to her house with this song playing in my 2000 ford ranger. Can’t listen to this anymore without thinking of my life during that time… the time when life was simple.
Springsteen knows how to write a song. The dude is bloody brilliant. Tunnel of Love is an album to cherish.
beautiful album....every song is amazing.....Valentines Day is such an underrated song of his
The finest album ever written in my opinion.
His number one in my opinion, Born to Run.......not even close
yes.....
Such a great album!
Song is an absolute masterpiece
it is especially when you're going through a break up like he was. very well written.
Thomas Riner go listen to your Justin Bieber.
@thomas riner Lol....I'm assuming (hoping) you just go around on videos like this and say stuff like that to get a rise out of people....why else would you be on this video....
thomas riner what a moron
#Fact
“Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
The music was never-ending
We danced as the evening sky faded to black..” That part of the song always gets me.
such trite, cliched lyrics.
😢
@@suzygordon2331 ok ya muppet
Nostalgic. Appreciate those that came in your life and left. Both good and bad . And cherished the ones that are still here. One of the best songs ever. ❤
The emotional sucker punch, I need sometimes. This is a masterpiece.
BUUUUUT, is it a "sucker punch" if you're looking it up? Lol I'm just being a smartass, I get it....especially the "I don't see, the man I wanted to be", God that stings sometimes.
You sure got that right
Definitely Masterpiece 💙
This is just the best song ever. I especially like that low note right after he says, ‘held you in my arms’ and right before, ‘the music was never ending...’. For some reason I can’t explain it hits me like nothing else ever has.
me too totally understand its beautiful
This song is sad, sad, sad. But it don't make me feel sad. It's too godamn beautiful for that.
Wow, I soooo get this comment. Sometimes that certain note will just make your heart catch...
It's how Bruce goes from the situation at hand- sitting in the titty bar, to the situation at home- "another battle in our dirty little war." Marital un-bliss. Back and forth with the setting. He's gonna cheat, that's obvious. She might already be cheating. Oh man! Wonder if he's at the following her around stage....I haven't heard a song with this much pathos since the Eagles "Lying Eyes."
@@brianmallen8887 Agreed.
One of the best storyteller song writers ever.
I loved to listen to him, because my father who died liked to listen to him😘😘😘😘
This song probably makes me feel more sad than any other song in existence... I have cried many tears over this song...💔
Me too.
Springsteen can make a Grown Man Cry
🔂 Repeatedly
Over Many Moons
Me too.
I hope that you find your one true soulmate.
It always gets me too
one of the most beautiful songs ever made, no doubt about that.
Agree!!!
@@melissakauffman7278double agreed
So much soul in this song
gets to a point u think every day fells that way, no further ahead, the struggle for all
Truth, pure truth.
One of the late great Tom Pettys favorite artists.. like TP, Bruce Springsteen’s lyrics touches everyone’s heart and soul.
Boss felt every dude who was struggling. 🙏
We Can Always try to Be Better…
I Am ❤️
@@jamesgannon6192 agreed give effort everyday
I was 29. Helping to build a home on Nantucket through the winter. I brought my guitar to pass the long nights. Old timer took me aside and taught me the art of performing a song at the bar for a bunch of lost souls. This was the song he taught me.
He chose exactly the right song.
This song reminds me of the last conversation I had with my sister before she died.
I told Her sometimes my life is like this Bruce Springsteen song..One step up,two steps back..
I can't do nothing right and she told me that I was so wrong..
This song swells my Heart...
yes. OK people r so naive. God first. then u then family
what???? Are you talking about?
Im very sorry about your sister, I hope you feel better about yourself and are doing well
Thanks Glenn Levy..I am..
May your sister rest in peace and hopefully, you found some. My thoughts are with you.
This song is beautiful on so many levels.
Sad and yet uplifting at the same time. Big Springsteen fan, here😍

Great song from a brilliant album and my favourite artist. 1987 I miss you 😢
What 1987 so do I. I fell in love
Not many of us are the person we wanted to be.
Thats a cold hard fact
But we all can .
what else is new?
Only the complacent ones.
John Clarke...Yes John...I ended up being the draft of what I always dreamed !...Life ain't no good for everyone !
The brilliance in this video is unsurpassed. At one moment he looks young at another point he looks older with the weight of the world on his shoulders. ..They dont make videos like this anymore but it transcends time. Makes more sense every year.
This album came out when I was 16 and I really didn’t pay attention to it, at age 51 I totally understand what he’s feeling and talking about
I love Bruce he is real to the core.
Who's listening to this with me in 2020?!
I am, Tunnel of Love is a Valentine's Day tradition for me anymore.
@@Stark-Raving awesome 👍
Right here! Matter of fact two weeks ago one of my friends song this as I had several friends over in the backyard at the fire pit and he had his guitar and song it!!!
@@americanoutdoorsman_1133 thanks for sharing ❤️
Timeless. Ed Sheeran could only dream of licking his boots.
I remember meeting bruce at villa park in the 80s and telling him how much I loved this track and he also said that it was one very very special song that was close to his heart. thanks bruce for spending time with me that day at villa park!!!
johnyasmin13 You spent time with Bruce? You are my hero, as is he. He is also one of my prophets.
👏👏💞👍
You're damn lucky dude!👍😁
I’m not a huge Boss fan but this is one of my favorite songs ever…. So am i….?
A person with a Heart and is looking for a way to be better ❤️
The most beautiful man of all time.
The 'Tunnel of Love' album saved my life.My marriage broke up and One Step Up and Valentines Day pulled me out of the depths of despair. Truly love the entire album.
When I look at myself I don't see the man I wanted to be. Somewhere along the line I slipped off track.....
we all have & then we find our way back
nancy wranovsky Hopefully we find our way back. Sometimes I wonder....
I'm 55. Wish I could turn the clock back 20 years or so....
Amen Brother Mark! Not necessarily to change the world but just to make fewer mistakes. Maybe a few different decisions to make life a little easier or to prevent trouble (often at our own hands) for those we love. We don't want to be perfect. We just would make things better if we could. God bless you my friend...hang on tight. Whatever He has in store for us, we will finish the race.
Well Im 59 .Looking back I guess I would have done a few things differently but
to still be able to 'feel' this song . Im lucky How about you my friends
He hit it on the money with this one he describes relationships so well in this song
an apology song to your first wife, with your second wife singing backup vocals
Now that's gutsy.
Yeah when I hear her voice come in, I always cringe a bit.
Absolutely right
Yep
Yep
This song kills me.
Reminds me of my days of drinking.
She almost left and took our daughter.
I would drink and fall through the furniture.
My two year old at the time saw her daddy twisted and drunk.
I beat that booze fair and square.
And I saved us.
It took several steps up and hundreds back but I did it.
Thank you to my daughter, forever.
Amen best decision ever!
This song always makes me cry.
Yes, me too
Ditto
Doesn't make me cry but takes me to a not so great time in my life.
It makes me cry also when I hear this song. Takes me down memory lane back when I was down on my luck but I didn’t give up and bounced back.
Me too
I love this song! It is haunting and so beautifully written, I bet a lot of people can relate??
I’m now playing it again! Love it! One step up! Two steps back. Bird on the wire he’s not singing.

I start doing bit of myOwn music.. in about around thirty years old.. yeah. First in english ('tho *not* my native language.. ;) then bit swedish, and latest in greece. Just for *Fun* 'for mySelf,too;))'.
Thats Good. GOOD Music and *Thing,too..* th-cam.com/video/etqHq7FAJVk/w-d-xo.html ..you know. GOOD *for* mySoul.. (JUST *Like* ..SUMMER *after* Long hard winter.. 'Up'n here.. *KYMI-river* yo'know..;)
Oh, yes. So often I take one step up, two steps back. But I'm still moving.
Great call cat. Brilliant disquise also wonderful
This song helped me leave a financial abusive, emotional abusive and coercive control relationship. Thanks Bruce
It doesn't matter how many times you fell down.what really matters how many times you pick your self up
" when I look at myself I don't see, the man I wanted to be. Somewhere along the line I stepped off track"
If I have a soul that is tattooed on it!!!
Love my kids so...
Saw Dr. Springsteen, in Kalamazoo, Michigan years ago all by himself at Miller auditorium on Western Michigan University Campus. He mesmerized all in attendance, some things you can't unsee or hear, I'm glad, it kicked butt. Bruce, is a genius.
I want to dedicate this to my ex.Though she was extremely crazy. I loved her.Couldn't calm her jealous ways.Hope David did. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Hope you are doing OK ❤️
Life is Tough
Jesus, how good can this man get. Complete lyrical genius. Strips everything back to bare basics yet makes the mind click into overdrive about what happened, what will and what can.
He says more in a couple of lines than most songwriters can say on an entire album.
one of the best song ever written.
My favorite Springsteen song, love the ending. Human Touch is right there at the top for me.
Out of the many songs Bruce has this has to be my favorite. I just don't know why but for some reason it just hits me right in the heart 💔
Probably because we all have been there!!! At one time or another!! Peace be with you my friend. Montana Rick.
The Tunnel of Love album came out at the same time my first marriage was disintegrating. It was the soundtrack of my life at the time. This song though was the dagger in the heart. Still powerful, still resonates, still causes the emotional cascade of tears.
Same here, brother. Woke up this morning thinking of this album....I don't know why though. 35 years later this whole album just cuts to the core.

Hopefully you have found your peace ...🙏
@@Smeegle653 "Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not be afraid" John 14:27
This song just speaks to me...especially the electric guitar.
such an epic masterpiece, love this song so much...so hard to believe this was released in 1987, where the hell did 35 years go.
I think this song is about a man realizing the error of his ways coming to grips with what he has let slip through his hands and knowing that he has to do whatever it takes to make his love and life right I commend him for doing whatever he had to do to find his own true happiness and his own true wife
Truth
Yep
Another one of his seemingly endless gems.
HE has dozens!!
Better days back then.
This song is the story of my life...
I feel you there!
When you think you’re gonna win, life makes damn sure you lose.
It was my life! not anymore 🙏🏽 thank you Lord
To me, this is his absolute best song. I love it so much but it rips your heart out. It’s perfection.
Woke up this morning, the house was cold
Checked out the furnace, she wasn't burnin'
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
We've given each other some hard lessons lately
But we ain't learnin'
We're the same sad story, that's a fact
One step up and two steps back
Bird on a wire outside my motel room
But he ain't singin'
Girl in white outside a church in June
But the church bells, they ain't ringing
I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight
But all I'm thinkin' is
I'm the same old story, same old act
One step up and two steps back
It's the same thing night on night
Who's wrong, baby? Who's right?
Another fight and I slam the door on
Another battle in our dirty little war
When I look at myself I don't see
The man I wanted to be
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back
There's a girl across the bar
I get the message she's sendin'
Mmm she ain't lookin' too married
And me, well, honey I'm pretending
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
The music was never-ending
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
One step up and two steps back
One step up and two steps back
One step up and two steps back
It's hard to pick a favorite Bruce tune... Actually, no, this is it.
If I need to have a cry about my marriage this has always been the song for it. I can't imagine anyone married or who's been married who can't relate to this song. I also think the song and video are positively brilliant and there's a wonderful and human tenderness to it. Bruce Springsteen
There are so many reasons I love this song AND video; a real depiction of the human condition involving loneliness, sadness & yearning for happiness...........
I gotta say I need Bruce in my life this song is so beautiful gotta say Bruce has seen me thru divorce from an abuser financial stress and the death of my father the only man who truly loved and understood me plus I have a brain injury life is super hard but if I can listen to songs by him it makes it all easier take care and love from Australia.
God, how I love this song..
One of his very finest
Same ❤
Me to.🙏🏻
Remember when this song came out. I was about 14, didn’t know a damn thing about the heartaches of love and loss. There’s something about the emptiness and heartache of this song that you can only relate to when you live through it
Yep, you gotta live it to get it.
GOOD. Good MUSIC will find *ONLY* good people.. i've notice *That* , you know? ;) I was just twenty when *THIS* record came..-87. It *Hit* me then Like 'so many times after that ( so many relationships as *one* Mans'life will.. enter). Its a Great piece of Music. With *HumanTouch* in those lyrics..

The video and the song, you're right both are a masterpiece. The world needs more Bruce these days
I've often said, Bruce sang the soundtrack of my life, so many of his songs hit home
How is this song not on the greatest hits? By far one of the best...
Right On.
I might be a snob but I think it's best not being on there so it's a hidden gem worth hunting for
“Tunnel of love “album is amazing .

you need to listen to this song when dreams are too bigger and soometimes they are broken. When you have lost your way... And you need to listen to this song because you hope it can heal your soul... Goodnight.
Sweet Dreams :)
Thank you Mr. Springsteen
Oh, you female.
Sometimes, you're too broken to heal, and lack the energy to get help for yourself. When you feel empty, no matter what you do or who you're with... and everyone you love dies, hope is just an illusion that you can't even try to reach.
Red hair and freckles. What's not to love? Sometimes dreams are not just merley broken, they are shattered.
"When I look at myself I don't see The man I wanted to be...
But all I'm thinkin' is...Somewhere along the line I slipped off track...I'm the same old story same old act One step up and two steps back." such a beautiful vision in melancholy, such a heartbreaking sadness in reality, killing me softly in song telling my life but through his words... dang Bruce, this one cuts deep and hits so very close. that was a very intense moment. thank you for showing me this understanding so I'm not left alone as the solitary fool struggling in the cold shadow cast by this regret. it's the bittersweet comfort I can use for working my way back to the light. I just hope the going isn't one step forward, two steps back.
Well written... When ya Hurt.. sometimes Alone, is "The Choice" ...
