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".

When The Saints Go Marching In
Bruce Springsteen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of those that'd come before
And we'll all be reunited
On that new and sunlit shore
When the Saints go marching in
When the Saints go marching in
Lord, how I want to be in that number
And when the sun refuses to shine
When the sun refuses to shine
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
Oh, when the Saints go marching in
Oh, when the Saints go marching in
Oh, how I want to be there on that morning
When the Saints go marching in
When the trumpet sounds its call
When the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, how I want be in that number
When the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, when the Saints go marching in
When the Saints go marching in
Lord, how I want to be in that number
Oh, when the Saints go marching in
Now some say, some say this world of trouble
Is the only world we'll ever see
But I'm waiting for that morning
When the new world is revealed
Oh, when the new world is revealed
Oh, when the new world is revealed
Lord, how I want to be there on that morning
When the new world is revealed
Oh, when the Saints (oh, when the Saints)
Go marching in (marching in)
When the Saints go marching in
Lord, I want be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
Lord, how I want (Lord, how I want)
To be in that number (to be in that number)
When the Saints go marching in

The song "When The Saints Go Marching In" by Bruce Springsteen is a gospel-inspired track that explores the theme of reuniting with our loved ones and the saints that have passed away. The first verse of the song sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, as Springsteen sings about how we are all following in the footsteps of those who came before us, and how we will be reunited on a new and sunlit shore. This idea of reuniting with our loved ones after death is further explored in the chorus, with Springsteen expressing his desire to be in the number of those who are welcomed into heaven when the saints go marching in.
The second verse of the song takes on a more apocalyptic tone, with Springsteen singing about a time when the sun refuses to shine. Despite this darkness, however, his desire to be in the number of those who are welcomed into heaven remains constant. The final verse of the song shifts the focus to the new world that will be revealed to us, with Springsteen once again expressing his desire to be there on that morning.
Overall, "When The Saints Go Marching In" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that deals with themes of death, loss, and the afterlife.

Estamos todos viajando nas pegadas
Daqueles que vieram antes
E todos nós estaremos reunidos
Naquela costa nova e ensolarada
Quando os santos estiverem marchando
Senhor, como eu quero estar nesse número
E quando o sol se recusa a brilhar
Quando o sol se recusa a brilhar
Senhor, como eu quero estar nesse número
Eu quero estar nesse número
Quando os santos estiverem marchando
Oh, quando a trombeta soa seu chamado
Quando a trombeta soa seu chamado
Senhor, como eu quero estar nesse número
Quando a trombeta soa seu chamado
Como eu quero estar nesse número
Quando os santos estiverem marchando
Agora, alguns dizem que este mundo de problemas
É o único que veremos
Mas estou esperando por aquela manhã
Quando o novo mundo for revelado
Oh, quando o novo mundo for revelado
Oh, quando o novo mundo for revelado
Sim, eu quero estar lá naquela manhã
Quando o novo mundo for revelado
Oh, quando os santos vão marchando
Quando os santos estiverem marchando
Senhor, como eu quero estar nesse número
Quando os santos estiverem marchando
Mais uma vez
Quando os santos estiverem marchando
Vá marchando
Quando os santos estiverem marchando
Vá marchando
Senhor, eu quero estar nesse número
Esteja nesse número
Quando os santos estiverem marchando
Vá marchando
Senhor, como eu quero
Senhor, como eu quero
Esteja nesse número
Estar nesse número
We are all traveling in the footsteps
Of those that'd come before
And we'll all be reunited
On that new and sunlit shore

This song has great sentimental value to me. When my cousins and I were kids we would sit on their stoop and sing this on the top of our lungs. Why? I don't think we ever knew. We are in our seventies and sixties now, two of us have passed on. I cherish those times.
