As a vet w time in Iraq, this is a masterpiece that has yet to be widely understood or appreciated. How Springsteen can intuit, understand, and articulate these feelings without having walked those miles speaks to his genius and his value. Can't listen to this without misty eyes. Thanks for writing it.
He lost many friends from his youth in Vietnam. He's talked about intentionally acting like he was crazy when he was called for the draft and then feeling guilty, because he doesn't know if the person who was sent in his place made it back or faced the same fate as some of his friends.
Glad we lived during the time of Bruce Springsteen. Been by my side since 1985, 39yrs of companionship just a play button away. Thank you Bruce for all of it! ❤
Yeah he has a dark side. Even the Born in the USA when he was young dealt with serious issues the Vietnam war racism job loss heartache he's not fluff.
This is one of those rare cases where the lyrics are so good and so well delivered that it took me forever to realize how great the arrangements are. The lifting drums at the end, his harmonica parts, this is subtly but brilliantly arranged and composed. Hell yes Bruce.
We’ve all got devils and dust. You take that righteous stand. Sometimes all we have is to stand. “For this reason, take up the whole armor of God so that you may be able to take a stand whenever evil comes. And when you have done everything you could, you will be able to stand firm.”
My daughter did six months in Iraq. She wasn't the same person who went there when she came home. Still fighting the war when they come home. Rip all those who never came home.
This song hits me hard. It strikes me as sung from the point of view of a veteran who is suffering from PTSD. The trigger is to a gun held to his own head and he's looking in the mirror. He's trying to find a reason to live but when he looks into his eyes and inside himself he sees nothing. During the process he explains how haunted he still is by the sights and smells he experienced.
If you ever have the opportunity to watch VHI Storytellers Springsteen, this is one of the 8 songs he sings and then walks you through lyric by lyric...fascinating. It is about soldiers who are there in the war at that time, having the power (finger on the trigger) but how they begin to question everything and the reasons for being there turn to "devils and dust"... However, with his lyrics, there are so many ways to interpret them and make them "your own". Perhaps it is one of the reasons his music continues to resonate so very, very deeply and be relevant after 40 something years in the business (and his live shows....oh man.....whole other dimension there).
New Jersey and New York We've got God on our side. Our Love for one another will help us to survive. When we have faith, we can move mountains, and rebuild cities. With God's love, mercy and grace, we can make it through any storm. God Bless New Jersey and New York. Mostly, God Bless Bruce for all of his songs. Lots of xxxx's and many more ooooo's
I agree. I always "liked" his rockers and movers and shakers, but his quiet, poetic, hurting songs always broke my heart. I think he just gets better with age. I think he has managed to turn his 50's into gold and he's 60 now! LOL! He was on the cover of AARP magazine! He really is a wonderful writer. His lyrics just, I don't know. He's one of those really rare cases when a "rock star" is a poet. Sorry to have run on and on!
The musical arrangement of this haunting song is so layered - moving from the heart pounds of Bruce's guitar to suspenseful strings, battle beats of the rolling drums, interspersed with soulful harmonica solos... oh did I forget the thought-provoking lyrics - absolutely brilliant...
I was never in the miltary, nor do I know anyone who was yet I totally FEEL this song. It runs right through me. This is the genius of Springsteen. His power, his gift, his ability to convey the emotion to all of us -regardless of who we are.
I do know that I trust God and I pray that he helps me to love more and hate less; to judge less and listen more, to fear less and keep the Devils and Dust out of my Heart. I mostly pray that you know how much this song means to me and how much it helped me understand a bad situation. The truth and a clear eye for the dirty ways of the World Your love and songs make this world a Better Place. Play us your music sweet music man.
I first heard this song when watching "My Fighting Season". It hit me hard when I heard the whole song. My son is in the military. I wrote him and told him that I know he has to do what he has to do. "Fear is a powerful thing.......take a God filled soul....fill it with Devils and dust". I want my son to always be the man I raised. I want him to come home no matter what. But I'm gonna miss the kid that left because I know he will be changed.....
Help him Find back in Life and Learn again tio Thrust the one We Love...I Pray his back wit hu and our Familly and find back in all our Life and hearts
Charles Doherty Yes I m sure Bruce was inspired by Bobs music as Bob was before him. Bob used this tuning sometimes too (eg entire Blood 0n the Tracks + rambin gamblin willie) They both write great narratives as well as styles If you play guitar they both liked dropped d tuning as well Surprised Bruce didn’t record with Joni Mitchell I’d like to hear that
I was a student DJ at a local junior college. The first time I played this, it blew me away! I got so many requests for this song it wasnt funny! I played it every chance I got. This is one of his best songs...bar none!
This song is more than a war song! It also describes the everyday life of those who live with addictions! A war within themselves! Thank you Bruce! It gave me comfort after finding my cousin to late! He did have God on his side but the devil's have now turned him into dust!
The power of the poet is by that he or she excavates from the deep to translate bucket loads of emotion and angst into poetry. Then reaching deep within the souls of others to make it rain with tears of love and its hurt.
" I got God on my side And I'm just trying to survive What if what you do to survive Kills the things you love Fear's a powerful thing, baby It can turn your heart black you can trust It'll take your God filled soul And fill it with devils and dust" Lyrics are truer today since its release almost 20 yrs ago! May ✌ Prevail . Thanks Boss! 💚 🙏
halfstrom, I am referring to the way the video was filmed. The fact that the song is 'dark' doesn't necessarily mean that the light exposure of the video should be. However, to each his own where the arts are concerned. It's all good. It's not a big deal; it's a great, great song and I appreciate being able to see it here.
Still a powerful song 15 years after its release. Love how he effectively combines live vocals of the video shoot with the music of the album version - something he did in several other videos before (Brilliant Disguise, Streets of Philadelphia etc.).
This is the complete text of this wonderful song: Devils & Dust Testo I got my finger on the trigger But I don't know who to trust When I look into your eyes There's just devils and dust We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie Home's a long, long way from us I feel a dirty wind blowing Devils and dust I got God on my side I'm just trying to survive What if what you do to survive Kills the things you love Fear's a powerful thing It can turn your heart black you can trust It'll take your God filled soul And fill it with devils and dust Well I dreamed of you last night In a field of blood and stone The blood began to dry The smell began to rise Well I dreamed of you last night In a field of mud and bone Your blood began to dry The smell began to rise We've got God on our side We're just trying to survive What if what you do to survive Kills the things you love Fear's a powerful thing It'll turn your heart black you can trust It'll take your God filled soul Fill it with devils and dust Now every woman and every man They want to take a righteous stand Find the love that God wills And the faith that He commands I've got my finger on the trigger And tonight faith just ain't enough When I look inside my heart There's just devils and dust Well I've got God on my side And I'm just trying to survive What if what you do to survive Kills the things you love Fear's a dangerous thing It can turn your heart black you can trust It'll take your God filled soul Fill it with devils and dust It'll take your God filled soul Fill it with devils and dust.
on my birthday i got this album while we were moving out of our first home overwhelmed about it being hectic and in my head i heard the line "Fear's a powerful thing" this was the beginning of new sorts of sorrows but these days i can deal with it better now that i know my higher power.
MY friends were married on a hunting trip, I had left my guitar at the house to have it tuned. I did not have the heart to take it back so I gave it to them as a wedding gift. A year ago she gave up and took her life. This song helped me to understand. I have listened to it a lot. I cherish this song with all my heart. Thank You
I'm just trying to survive. But what if what you do to survive kills the things you love? Two of the best lines. It's about the choices we make in our lives. Don't sacrifice your essence. You will lose your sole.
Thank you for posting this very precious song. Found my heart and Love was not lost, Lies are a lot like fear. Once they take root they can take a God filled soul and turn it to Devils and Dust.
One of the first video's I watched that lends some credibility to a real sincere heart of understanding. I've got God on my side and I just don't know who to trust.
In Pharoes hardend heart there exist only the memory of the Devils taunt and the petrified, putrid dust of his day. There is no light in the tomb of his remains.
With the world in such an economic despair, we sometimes loose our faith and forget that we have God on our side. This is the Bruce Springsteen that I Love.
Bruce writes from his heart it doesn't matter to him how each of use interupt the words just enjoy the talent that God has gifted this spirited man,don't take his talent so serious enjoy the mans talent.God bless you Bruce
The lyrics to this... are simply amazing. What does war do to people? They filll your own soul with all those Devils that you see. Also, the power of this video. I find that him playing to an empty theatre... it really makes you think.
Unfortunately in France radios seems to forget that Springsteen wrote songs after Born in the USA...happily, we have good records sellers. What a strong song
I love this song because in my life all days I got the finger on trigger. In my heart there are just devils and dust. Bruce Springsteen with his melancholy is a travel by the mind to my friends that they are living an hard moment.
"The first song that touched my heart and soul with understanding another kind of war A friend was fighting. She caught her husband cheating. She looked inside her heart and could not find the strength to go on and find Love. She shot herself. This song appeared out of nowhere. It helped me understand. I gave my guitar to them as a wedding present. I told her husband to play pretty tunes for his wife. My wedding guitar Thank you Bruce for this song and all of the others that have helped
Blessing to everyone, for those that have felt the weight of the world, I pray those boulders to be removed and life's tenderness soften you heart and minds. For we are all slavers at one point, if only in our minds passing down the injustice the world's have passed to us, to the ones down below.
Friend of mine went over to Vietnam when I was young. He came back and signed up for another tour and died in the Tet offensive. I never did understand why but this song does help to understand, he had left more than friends behind.
Still such a powerful song! And so relevant now... "We've got God on our side We're just trying to survive What if what you do to survive Kills the things you love Fear's a powerful thing It'll turn your heart black you can trust It'll take your God filled soul Fill it with devils and dust It'll take your God filled soul Fill it with devils and dust"
As i sit here listening to the words, I think of Healing the broken souls of the American Soldiers form the Vietnam War. I think The Boss has done it in so many ways that most of us don't really feel the words, but rather only hear them.
Listened to this one on the ride home from my last ever football game after I tore both ACLs ending my career. Every time I hear it from then on it brings back the best memories I’ve ever made. Thanks BOSS!

As a vet w time in Iraq, this is a masterpiece that has yet to be widely understood or appreciated. How Springsteen can intuit, understand, and articulate these feelings without having walked those miles speaks to his genius and his value. Can't listen to this without misty eyes. Thanks for writing it.
LT175 absolutely on levels many don’t know
He lost many friends from his youth in Vietnam. He's talked about intentionally acting like he was crazy when he was called for the draft and then feeling guilty, because he doesn't know if the person who was sent in his place made it back or faced the same fate as some of his friends.
4x OEF vet. I feel the song and your comment.
check out the vh1 storytellers he gets asked the Question ...he tells about what he wanted u to get from the song
It was written as a memorial to his frien Bobbie who died in Iraq. I served in Iraq and I often find myself playing this song on repeat.
"What if what you do to survive kills the things you love" is one of the finest lines in music.
lol
Agreed Aaron
Especially when most record labels are owned by evil elites closet Satan worshippers
I felt that!
Glad we lived during the time of Bruce Springsteen. Been by my side since 1985, 39yrs of companionship just a play button away.
Thank you Bruce for all of it! ❤
❤❤❤❤🇨🇭
same for me. Years went by fast.
This relates to all my combat zone experiences from Somalia to Iraq. Bruce Springsteen has compassion for others' experiences.
This song is just one of the reasons why they call Bruce Springsteen "The Boss". Absolutely amazing song!
Pppppp p lo pop l
This man.. he just is the best songwriter that ever was, and ever will be...
Yeah he has a dark side. Even the Born in the USA when he was young dealt with serious issues the Vietnam war racism job loss heartache he's not fluff.
Check out corb lund "student visas" it covers the same warrior guilt and bravado. Sad shit.
This is one of those rare cases where the lyrics are so good and so well delivered that it took me forever to realize how great the arrangements are. The lifting drums at the end, his harmonica parts, this is subtly but brilliantly arranged and composed. Hell yes Bruce.
Well said
We’ve all got devils and dust. You take that righteous stand. Sometimes all we have is to stand. “For this reason, take up the whole armor of God so that you may be able to take a stand whenever evil comes. And when you have done everything you could, you will be able to stand firm.”
don't kill in the name of the international zionist banking and oil cartels... evil is now here.
My daughter did six months in Iraq. She wasn't the same person who went there when she came home. Still fighting the war when they come home. Rip all those who never came home.
And RIP to all those that did come home but still didn’t make it.
And those who everyone *thinks* came home.
sometimes there are no words. glad she's still alive.
A sacrifice all soldiers unfortunately have to endure!
This song hits me hard. It strikes me as sung from the point of view of a veteran who is suffering from PTSD. The trigger is to a gun held to his own head and he's looking in the mirror. He's trying to find a reason to live but when he looks into his eyes and inside himself he sees nothing.

Hang in there man 🙏🏻
The harmonica parts never cease to bring mist to my eyes.
Well done, Bruce.
That is why he is the man
New Jersey and New York We've got God on our side. Our Love for one another will help us to survive. When we have faith, we can move mountains, and rebuild cities. With God's love, mercy and grace, we can make it through any storm.
God Bless New Jersey and New York.
Mostly, God Bless Bruce for all of his songs.
Lots of xxxx's and many more ooooo's
so many of these tunes i lived while in jersey, thou i left long ago it takes me back to where and when i was hearing these all for the first time
I have been a Bruce Springsteen fan all my life, and it's because of songs like this!
"If what you do to survive, kills the things you love" That line always gets me
Big if for sure.
How great to have lived in the times of Springsteen. History will be kind to him.
I agree. I always "liked" his rockers and movers and shakers, but his quiet, poetic, hurting songs always broke my heart. I think he just gets better with age. I think he has managed to turn his 50's into gold and he's 60 now! LOL! He was on the cover of AARP magazine! He really is a wonderful writer. His lyrics just, I don't know. He's one of those really rare cases when a "rock star" is a poet. Sorry to have run on and on!
He has lots of great songs but to me this is his best.
To this day this song moves me so much, my father use to love when I sing it and Everytime I listen I see him smiling at the door . R.I.P.
Just amazing and beyond comparison, for many years, more should hear him.
Thank you God for Bruce Springsteen
I love the way this song builds up to the finale (if you will) a great poet of our time - aren't we lucky?
Yeah he is like a Shakespeare
Poet for sure
This is one example of how good music is made of......!!!!!!!
The musical arrangement of this haunting song is so layered - moving from the heart pounds of Bruce's guitar to suspenseful strings, battle beats of the rolling drums, interspersed with soulful harmonica solos... oh did I forget the thought-provoking lyrics - absolutely brilliant...
Top 10 Bruce song....it gets better every year.
I was never in the miltary, nor do I know anyone who was yet I totally FEEL this song. It runs right through me. This is the genius of Springsteen. His power, his gift, his ability to convey the emotion to all of us -regardless of who we are.
Fear's a powerful thing...
👏Oh Yes !,? Genius And Great is Dear Bruce Springteen... 🌐❤💖🎶✍🔉🔉🎶🌐❤
He is a living legend and forever will always be "The Boss".
the album born in the USA will make him boss till the sun burns out...
such and underated album.
favorite song in the whole world since almost 10 years this song has been my best friend helped me go threw so much
Hope you are doing alright ❤️🙏
Me too
Hope things are better now.
Snap.
Was on bail for M1; this got me through it, and after all the time in the big house too.
Still number 1 album.
I do know that I trust God and I pray that he helps me to love more and hate less; to judge less and listen more, to fear less and keep the Devils and Dust out of my Heart.
I mostly pray that you know how much this song means to me and how much it helped me understand a bad situation.
The truth and a clear eye for the dirty ways of the World
Your love and songs make this world a Better Place.
Play us your music sweet music man.
I first heard this song when watching "My Fighting Season". It hit me hard when I heard the whole song. My son is in the military. I wrote him and told him that I know he has to do what he has to do. "Fear is a powerful thing.......take a God filled soul....fill it with Devils and dust". I want my son to always be the man I raised. I want him to come home no matter what. But I'm gonna miss the kid that left because I know he will be changed.....
Danny Gee I feel your fear and pain. please be there for him when he gets back. stay strong xxx
God bless you and your son.
Help him Find back in Life and Learn again tio Thrust the one We Love...I Pray his back wit hu and our Familly and find back in all our Life and hearts
How's your boy Danny?
hope your son comes back home to you love from England west yorkshire
While I listen to that song I started to cry and then I prayed4☮Lord have mercy on us all🌏🌎🌍🙏
Greatest songwriter of all time in my opinion
true
johnnyM809 , only marginally behind the greatest, Bob Dylan but as I say only by a tiny tiny margin .
I think so too
Charles Doherty
Yes I m sure Bruce was inspired by Bobs music as Bob was before him. Bob used this tuning sometimes too (eg entire Blood 0n the Tracks + rambin gamblin willie)
They both write great narratives as well as styles
If you play guitar they both liked dropped d tuning as well
Surprised Bruce didn’t record with Joni Mitchell I’d like to hear that
👍
I was a student DJ at a local junior college. The first time I played this, it blew me away! I got so many requests for this song it wasnt funny! I played it every chance I got. This is one of his best songs...bar none!
Can't stop listening to this song at the moment. Masterpiece. Long live the Boss.
For all the boys that did not come home. for all that gave their blood for our freedom
Az egyik legjobb dal a világon🥰
Bruce springsteen számok segítenek embernek maradni, ebben a beteg világban. Köszönöm szépen😙❤️
Devils &.... , Teuflisch gut . Danke Boss
Just the title alone is pure brilliance
he captures this phase of life, whatever it is, definitively and abstractly. doubt. fear. self-doubt. self-fear. it's all here. the journey.
Nobody feels it like Bruce, simply the greatest song writer of our times and, provider of memorable nights in concert, thanks Boss!
one of the greatest poets of them all
Bruce springsteen único, espetacular, sensacional. ........
💖
Yes, he is.
And more
Bruce writes from deep in his soul...powerful
oh the chills
What a fantastic piece of music 👌
This song is more than a war song! It also describes the everyday life of those who live with addictions! A war within themselves! Thank you Bruce! It gave me comfort after finding my cousin to late! He did have God on his side but the devil's have now turned him into dust!
Bruce also has a reaccuring bouts of Depression a fight between internal good and evil which anyone with a mental illness knows.
The power of the poet is by that he or she excavates from the deep to translate bucket loads of emotion and angst into poetry. Then reaching deep within the souls of others to make it rain with tears of love and its hurt.
how fortunate we are to be contemporary of Bruce
So viel Gefühl in diesem Song, wunderschön... Gänsehaut... Thank you Bruce 🙏🍀💞😘😍
Das stimmt ❤
@@leevancleef4124 Dankeschön 🌺
Yesss, das stimmt.❤🇨🇭
" I got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
And fill it with devils and dust"
Lyrics are truer today since its release almost 20 yrs ago! May ✌ Prevail . Thanks Boss! 💚 🙏
My son put me onto bruce springsteen I'm glad he did
This song is so spiritual actually. Awesome
Definitely most soulfull acoustic song of Bruce Springsteen.
halfstrom, I am referring to the way the video was filmed. The fact that the song is 'dark' doesn't necessarily mean that the light exposure of the video should be. However, to each his own where the arts are concerned. It's all good. It's not a big deal; it's a great, great song and I appreciate being able to see it here.
Still a powerful song 15 years after its release. Love how he effectively combines live vocals of the video shoot with the music of the album version - something he did in several other videos before (Brilliant Disguise, Streets of Philadelphia etc.).
This is the complete text of this wonderful song:
Devils & Dust Testo
I got my finger on the trigger
But I don't know who to trust
When I look into your eyes
There's just devils and dust
We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie
Home's a long, long way from us
I feel a dirty wind blowing
Devils and dust
I got God on my side
I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
And fill it with devils and dust
Well I dreamed of you last night
In a field of blood and stone
The blood began to dry
The smell began to rise
Well I dreamed of you last night
In a field of mud and bone
Your blood began to dry
The smell began to rise
We've got God on our side
We're just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing
It'll turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
Now every woman and every man
They want to take a righteous stand
Find the love that God wills
And the faith that He commands
I've got my finger on the trigger
And tonight faith just ain't enough
When I look inside my heart
There's just devils and dust
Well I've got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a dangerous thing
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust.
Acoustic guitar 😍
on my birthday i got this album while we were moving out of our first home overwhelmed about it being hectic and in my head i heard the line "Fear's a powerful thing" this was the beginning of new sorts of sorrows but these days i can deal with it better now that i know my higher power.
i must confess that higher power is God.
First boss album i ever listened to. Good ol days. FML
MY friends were married on a hunting trip, I had left my guitar at the house to have
it tuned. I did not have the heart to take it back so I gave it to them as a wedding
gift. A year ago she gave up and took her life. This song helped me to understand.
I have listened to it a lot. I cherish this song with all my heart. Thank You
Long Life to the Boss The Lord guide you your Family to
One of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. Sung the best way it could
Es magnífica. !!!
Incredible. !!
Para mí es una de las mejores canciones de Bruce Springsteen. !!
Esa voz rota. .....es increíble. !!!
I'm just trying to survive. But what if what you do to survive kills the things you love? Two of the best lines. It's about the choices we make in our lives. Don't sacrifice your essence. You will lose your sole.
sole ? soul ?
I lost my sole once... but the shoe repair shop fixed it right up.
Music from Bruce,Neil or Bob is the soul repair shop !!!
One of the best song's ever written.
So sad rarely plays in lives and nevera with the e street
Brus je moj bog u koga slepo verujem ikoga obožavam.
👍👍👍❤
Hvala Ulrich. ❤️💋❤️.
Grüsse aus Zürich.❤🇨🇭🍀
Thank you for posting this very precious song. Found my heart and Love was not lost, Lies are a lot like fear. Once they take root they can take a God filled soul and turn it to Devils and Dust.
One of the first video's I watched that lends some credibility to a real sincere heart of understanding.
I've got God on my side and I just don't know who to trust.
In Pharoes hardend heart there exist only the memory of the Devils taunt and the petrified, putrid dust of his day. There is no light in the tomb of his remains.
r.i.p all the soldiers that gave their lives and thank you bruce for doing a tribute
One of his top ten best songs ever, in my opinion
OH MY GOD ...... DAMN . THis IS TO be a soul song forever
Love when the harmonica kicks in
Fills your heart with Devils and Dust, .. takes your God filled soul
Wow. It’s been a looooooooong time since I didn’t enjoy a music as much as I enjoyed this one. Awesome. 🔥
Bruce , he is a legend
With the world in such an economic despair, we sometimes loose our faith and forget that we have God on our side. This is the Bruce Springsteen that I Love.
Great song...Bruce is one of the best of all time!
Bruce writes from his heart it doesn't matter to him how each of use interupt the words just enjoy the talent that God has gifted this spirited man,don't take his talent so serious enjoy the mans talent.God bless you Bruce
these harp parts.... giving me goosebumps all over. incredible
Er ist einfach der Beste aller Zeiten. Musikalisch und Menschlich. Ohne ihn wäre die Welt viel ärmer. ❤️❤️🇨🇭
Was für ein Glück wir haben
zeitgleich mit ihm hier zu sein ...
🌍 💙 💚 🎼
So ist es! ❤❤
Condivido pienamente ❤
this is one of those uniques songs that should be listened at least ones by every human being in this world, thank you bruce.
The lyrics to this... are simply amazing. What does war do to people? They filll your own soul with all those Devils that you see.
Also, the power of this video. I find that him playing to an empty theatre... it really makes you think.
God bless all those in harms way and their families. Marine Corps 1983-2005
OIF/OEF.
Unfortunately in France radios seems to forget that Springsteen wrote songs after Born in the USA...happily, we have good records sellers. What a strong song
An artist at the top of his game.
I love this song because in my life all days I got the finger on trigger. In my heart there are just devils and dust. Bruce Springsteen with his melancholy is a travel by the mind to my friends that they are living an hard moment.
Song hits me so hard. Absolutely fantastic song. Harmonica is incredible.
The man just gets better with time, he is the BOSS!!
Best song ive heard in a long time
Bruce and the e street band are immense
"The first song that touched my heart and soul with understanding another kind of war A friend was fighting. She caught her husband cheating. She looked inside her heart and could not find the strength to go on and find Love. She shot herself.
This song appeared out of nowhere. It helped me understand. I gave my guitar to them as a wedding present. I told her husband to play pretty tunes for his wife.
My wedding guitar
Thank you Bruce for this song and all of the others that have helped
Blessing to everyone, for those that have felt the weight of the world, I pray those boulders to be removed and life's tenderness soften you heart and minds. For we are all slavers at one point, if only in our minds passing down the injustice the world's have passed to us, to the ones down below.
Friend of mine went over to Vietnam when I was young. He came back and signed up for another tour and died in the Tet offensive. I never did understand why but this song does
help to understand, he had left more than friends behind.
Jestes Cudny,Wspaniały,Jedyny Niepowtarzalny na Wieki! AMEN
i used to love this song, when it came out i was addicted to it..... nostalgiac.... Bruce is the Boss of all Bosses
Love the words to this song......brings goosebumps on my arms.....great word's man great words
Still such a powerful song! And so relevant now...
"We've got God on our side
We're just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing
It'll turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
It'll take your God filled soul
