Bruce Springsteen: Glory Days and how old is Bruce Springsteen – ‘The Boss’ will play three dates in May 2023

It Was Written was a huge hit for the singer-songwriter in 1985.
The lyrics tell the story of someone meeting old acquaintances from high school later only to find that the conversation has changed little as the focus remains rooted in the “glory days” of high school. school.
According www.musicbanter.com first we meet the old friend who “was a great baseball player in high school”, but he seems to have nothing to talk about except his so-called “glory days”.
Then we meet a girl who, “back in school…could turn any boy’s head”, but we learn that she now has children from a failed marriage and spends a lot of time reminiscing about the “glory days” when she’s feeling down.
The story ends with the storyteller planning a night out drinking at his local bar, but he hopes he won’t, “get old and sit around thinking about it”.
The upbeat music gives this song a real feel-good factor, but essentially the lyrics are quite sad, even depressing.
The people we meet in the song believe their school days were the best days of their lives, so it’s hard not to see them as some of life’s losers.
In an interview, Bruce Springsteen said of the song, “The first verse actually happened, the second verse mostly happened, the third verse, of course, is happening now.”
