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".

I'll See You In My Dreams
Bruce Springsteen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The days go on, I remember you my friend
And though you're gone and my heart's been emptied it seems
I'll see you in my dreams
I got your guitar here by the bed
All your favorite records and all the books that you read
And though my soul feels like it's been split at the seams
I'll see you in my dreams
When all our summers have come to an end
I'll see you in my dreams
We'll meet and live and laugh again
I'll see you in my dreams
Yeah, up around the river bend
For death is not the end
And I'll see you in my dreams
I'll see you in my dreams
When all our summers have come to an end
I'll see you in my dreams
We'll meet and live and laugh again
I'll see you in my dreams
Yeah, up around the river bend
For death is not the end
And I'll see you in my dreams
(See) you in my
See you in my dreams
Go
And I'll see you in my dreams
The lyrics of Bruce Springsteen's song "I'll See You In My Dreams" evoke a sense of loss, heartbreak and longing. The singer is reminiscing about a friend who has passed away, and despite the emptiness that he feels, he finds solace in the idea that he will meet his friend again in his dreams. The theme of the song is the endurance of love and friendship beyond the physical realm.
The phrase "the road is long and seeming without end" refers to the journey of life, which often feels endless and without purpose. The days go on, but the singer cannot forget the friend who has left him behind. He feels empty, as if a part of him has gone missing, but he knows that he will see his friend again in his dreams. The imagery of the guitar and records by the bed, the books that the friend read, highlight the fact that the friendship was deep and meaningful, and the loss is keenly felt.
The chorus of the song repeats the message that despite death being a part of life, it is not the end. The singer believes that he will meet his friend again, and they will live, love, and laugh as they did before. The song provides some comfort to those who have lost someone, reminding them that even though they can't physically see their loved ones, they can still hold them close in their hearts and minds.

Sir Springsteen,
Making a song to honour a member anyone can do that... Buuut you and the E-Street members made it a true from the heart song with a happy uplifting note!
Sir Gudinski would have been in tears if he'd knew... Tears of Happyness and Joy.
What a fantastic track!

Saw Bruce play this at Murrayfield, Scotland 30th May 2023.
Hits home as we are all getting older and life seems to be speeding up year on year.
Add to the mix the loved one's that have passed on over the years and you realise that our time here on earth is only fleeting and ebbing away.
Try to savour the good moments and I hope you have plenty to look back on. May the good outweigh the regret!
Thanks Bruce, you have been essential company for this journey ❤

The only thing me and my father ever bonded over was Bruce.... he took me to see my first and only Bruce concert. My dad died in a tragic car wreck last year and this song truly hits home.
@fkthedemlibscum7026
It's good you bonded at least over something.... Just too bad it was over that Dem/Lib Bruce guy... I personally despise that Bruce thing, especially because he's a D/L, and also, Bruce claims to be "FOR THE WORKING MAN, yet he charges outrageous prices up to a couple thousand for his concerts (that's what the media said), but your reasons for bonding with your dad don't have to line up with others.... What matter is, despite anything, is that you bonded with your dad.... Not sure what he did wrong, and that's surely private, so no worries..... My dad died in 1990 @ only 49 years old because he was a heavy smoker & major drinker, so he did it to himself.=== He & I never bonded with zero relationship, but I'm good because I have a wonderful mother and fine brothers & sisters, and everyone else in my family is great.

Sorry for your tragic loss 💔 hold your memories high 🤗
